Yea, since you mentioned the giant it crossed my mind that nobody, as far as I know, hasn't discussed Michael Anderson's play  Yea, he's kinda backwards but.. still, the way he moves or stands or just his stare... i don't know it seems very neat. what do u think about that ? think he did a great job even though his role was very wierd. Come to think of it, he is the most wierd think in TP... to me. this character is just the top of Lynch's psych vision.

1. James H.(wooden acting, annoying character)

2. Nadine H.(stupid character)

3. Evelyn Marsh (stupid story!)

4. Dick Tremayne (annoying character, his voice irritated me)

5.  Josie (just didnt like her)

Dick was the worst (wanted to strangle him with his ascot)

never liked catherine(wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole)

nadine was a load("i was just a little brown mouse"...wheres my trap)

josie was a one trick pony (drama queen)

norma's husband hank should have choked on the domino

there are my 5, tried to avoid the bit players evelyn, nicky etc

Ben?! How can someone find Ben irritating? He's the *MAN*... Ok, he can get on your nerves sometimes, but that's the secret of his charm, isn't it?

1. Louise, Great Northern employee (I hate that woman so much)

2. Little Nicky (what can I say, when I see him I only hope he goes funny boom-boom into some dark pit and never come back)

3. Evelyn Marsh (those Diane Keaton close-ups, those cigarette smoke rings, OMG!)

4. Gwen Moran (I guess that's the point of the character)

5. Mr. Pinkle (he's so unfunny sometimes it's hell to just watch him)

The more times I watch the show, the less these characters amuse me. Sometimes it becomes painful,      but overall,                       I don't hate them.  Sometimes these characters can be the funniest and highly entertaining of all,

and favorite characters start to irritate.

The irritators on these lists, made my lists, mostly because of repeat offenses of horrible irritation. 

Mayor Milford?! He was the best part of many episodes... I think he's awesome... "I don't want to talk, I wanna shoot!"...

I can only think of 4:

1. Hank Jennings (aggressive, devious and messes Norma around)

2. Leo Johnson (horrible to Shelly)

3. FBI Agent Roger Hardy (ungrateful and fails to appreciate genius of Cooper)

4. Mounty King (tries to destroy Cooper and running-boy for Jean Renault)

All the other chars were great and I love, love, love 'em!

But these characters aren't meant to be likeable. The reason someone like James is so annoying is that you are MEANT to like him, with his puppydog eyes and chipmunk voice.

 Hahaha, yea... But actually the actor is a cool guy. I've watched an interview with him once. But the character is a major
pain in the ass.

This isn't right... There's something wrong here...

Absolutly right. You cant just say you hate Leo Johnson because he was the bad guy. And besides, Leo being horrible to Shelley is what made him so cool in the first place.

But Leo Johnson is a terrible person, he is totally immoral and he makes Shelly's life awful for her. That's really annoying behaviour. He's not really cool. He's quite boring. Bobby Briggs is cool because he has a rhythm in the way he walks and moves, even when walking backwards. Leo Johnson just punches, kicks and chops his way through life. He lacks style, sophistication, intelligence. He is just like SO annoying!

Roger Hardy is a crashing bore, a bureaucrat who complains if people don't do everything by the book. He totally overlooks the fact that Cooper actually solved the murder. He just moans that Coop crossed the border into Canada. So what?

And where would the first season have been without Leo Johnson? He was the bad guy. He was supposed to be like that. Your logic is stupid. You dont have to like Leo but you cant say he was irritating becuase he was the bad guy.

Of course, it's a matter of opinion. It's subjective. The different people who post on this site will come up with a different list of about 5 people.

All I'm saying is that in my opinion, I found Leo to be an irritating character. He didn't add much in the way of magic or excitement to the programme. I think he was a failure as a human being. He could have chosen to be nice to Shelly and appreciate her, but he didn't do that. My sympathies are with Shelly. She is an OK kind of gal, and I don't blame her for shooting Leo that time.

I find it difficult to like a character who is violent towards his own wife. For me, this is immoral and irritating behaviour. But that's just my opinion. Everyone who posts here will see things differently.

There were many ideas and storylines in the first season. I think Leo is a kind of red herring. You are led to believe that he might well be the killer, but of course, in the end, it is someone completely different.

Yeah - and it works! I like him
Now isn't that truly annoying? ;-)

when i'd first viewed TP,i did find audrey irritating.however,when i'd watch the series a couple more times,i began to appreciate this very central character.she also was very funny.

i can't say that i now find any character annoying,as they ALL add immeasurably to the series as a whole.each character is integral to it.

regarding'little nikki':when the imp spun andy's stool at the diner,causing andy to fall off when he'd sat upon it,i laughed hysterically.honestly,that was funny as hell.

i did find josie's cloying helplessness annoying originally,but as i'd mentioned above,i began to understand that each character imparted important contributions to TP,even if they had annoying behaviors/habits.

Hank was one of the coolests, much more than Leo in my opinion. I always had a heart for the bad ones.

Btw, sorry deputy Andy fans, I know he's supposed to be the dork/funny type of guy on purpose, but I just don't buy him at all. Also in my list, the mayor, Little Nicky and that couple of dorks that came to handle Leland's trial, the judge and his wife. Don't know why, I just don't like them.

Obviously Evelyn. Diane Keaton must have had a crush on her because her episode kept on focusing on her over and over again with soft focus and overlays. Actually, the Keaton episode was the worst of the bunch.

After Evelyn, it would have to be Harold Smith. The character was OK but the actor was horribly miscast.

I can't complain about Nicky - he was is in so few scenes. 

the only characters that really grate me are Josie and Jonathan...Lucy and Andy SOMETIMES get on my nerves, when im in the mood for the supernatural type storylines and they just ramble on or talk slowly, but other times those two could be my favorite. wait, what was the quesion??

I can see where Andy and Lucy would get irritating in episode 9 of the second season. There's some very bizarre cutting between Leyland's story and Lucy's. Finally the two stories are linked when Dick lights his cigarette and causes the sprinklers to go off. I didn't care much for the editing there - maybe another viewing would make it more palatible.

Evelyn – INSUFFERABLE DISASTER!
Lana – What the hell? WHY?!!!
Ernie Niles – Okay wait...we're meant to watch a sub-plot about Norma's mother's new husband?????
Windom Earle – To me, this sub-plot nearly ruined Twin Peaks.
Dick Tremayne – I mean, come on!

For me, these characters rendered the show virtually unwatchable.
