TV's beloved "Rachel" & "Ross" from TV's beloved "Friends" make the "Most Annoying TV Couples" list
The 15 Most Annoying TV Couples Of All Time (VIDEO)



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/26/the-15-most-annoying-tv-c_n_333044.html

Ever since a poll was released declaring "Whatever" the most annoying word in America, we here at HuffPost Comedy have been busy cataloging the Most Annoying Things in the Universe. We started with song (Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart" was deemed WORST OF ALL TIME), moved on to TV Character (Screech) and this week turn to romance. To wit: which two on-screen characters have the most annoying relationship of all time. And we can't decide this on our own. Dear readers, we need you!

You'll notice that even though the title says 15 most annoying couples there are only 13 in the slideshow. That's because we want YOU to pick the last two! Flip through our slideshow and vote below. If we've left out a couple you detest, send an email to [email protected] with a video of your pick in action and a reason why they deserve this honor. Enjoy!

1. We'll be sure to give Symarip the appropriate time for mourning this annoucement.
I know how much the well-being of Ross and Rachel meant to him.

2. Anything connected to Friends is vomit-worthy.
I hated everything about that show.

4. Yeah, yeah, most annoying
But somebody kept that show on top of the Nielsen ratings. Somebody bought all those recordings of Achy Breaky Heart, and Mambo Number 5 and Macarena. Just because you're all ashamed of it now, don't come apologizing to me (or worse, finally bad-mouthing your appallingly bad taste) all these years later. Wasn't interested then, not interested now.

5. True, so true...
...the show sucked THEN, and it sucks NOW, and the only difference between THEN and NOW is the American tendency to put people with questionable gifts on a pedestal so that once they're up there we can knock them off.

In the final seasons, cast members received one MILLION dollars per episode.

When Matt LeBlanc started his failed spin-off series, "Joey," he pissed and moaned about the fact that he wasn't getting one MILLION per episode.

Looking back, that was a smart decision on the part of NBC.

:rofl:

7. Ally Mc-MOTHER-EFFING-Beal @ #1...YES!
Edited on Mon Oct-26-09 04:08 PM by Amerigo Vespucci
Dancing with that computer-generated baby...

...I almost hate the memories of that show coming back to me, but having it in the #1 spot is WORTH it.

Somewhere, in America, a "fan" cherishes his / her VHS collection of EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.



Also LOVE the fact that the author slams the "puffy lips"...Calista Flockhart had that "Ally pout"...and other than the fucking computer-generated dancing baby, it's the #2 reason to have this show in the #1 spot.

:rofl:

9. Is that where the dancing baby came from?
I had to clean that out of the email queues for a while because people would fill the disk up sending that nonsense.

11. Yep, that's the source of THAT nonsense.

The show got progressively more annoying as time went on until the network, in its wisdom, put it (and the audience) out of its misery.
