I can't decide which person I find most irritating but I've narrowed it down to two possiblities and they are both on cell phone commercials. Number one is the fat guy who has Dukes of Hazzard theme song as his ring tone and sings along to it and the second is the blond crack whore with the yellow socks who uses her phone to record flashes of musical inspiration.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
George Bush, with Hillary Clinton as runner-up.

(Actually, Kjell Magne Bondevik and Dagfinn Høybråten are even worse.)

OHH! don't get me started on ol' Dagfinn! I can't stand those people with funny looking letters in their name.

PS Remember I'm an American and therefore have no interest or knowledge of other countries and get offended when they are brought up. If you want to hang out here you need to Americanize. And don't give me any of that "I'm in Norway" crap. I won't put up with that either. lol

George W Bush and George H Bush are tied as the most annoying/irritating persons on TV for me. Close second is Bill O Reilly.

Yeah this guy.. wow I would totally punch him.
 
The guy who does the voiceovers for Big Brother. Ok, so you don't see him, but god does he have an annoying voice :mad:

I think it's the manic, skinny guy with the question marks pasted all over his blazer in the commercial for a book about free money you can get from the government.
 
There are far too many to name. We can start, however, with all of those morning show Jesus freaks scamming money out of little old ladies.
 
For me its two or three of the clowns at Fox News who, among other things, yell at the camera with this really annoying, sometimes high pitched, whine. Since I don't watch any of them anymore I'm not even sure of their names, but if you've seen them you should know who I mean.

I'm sorry. I must not of made myself clear. I told you who the most annoying people are. I didn't ask for your suggestions. You want to make suggestions start your own thread.

You're referring to Matthew Lesko. He's only on if you're watching basic cable at 2 AM, though, so I'm going with Kelly Ripa, who barely edges out every single VJ/host on MTV.

A commedian past its expiration date? Someone better throw that out, or it's going to start to smell.

This guy's the reason I don't know any current people on TV. He was so annoying that he completely turned me off to TV (or vice versa).

Anthony Napolitano on Fox --- worse hair weave than Mark Crawford --- looks like he's going for the King Kong hairline.

Since I watch the Food Network a lot, I have one nomination on the most annoying person on TV - Emeril Lagasse.

Every time his show comes on TV, I have to rush to get the remote and change the channel. His show is just that - a show about him and not much on substance. And that over-the-top BAM thing should have been retired years ago.

I couldn't really com eup with anyone and all the sudden you bust out with five people I totally agree on.

Emeril Lagasse.
And another one!
*BAM* right between the eyes...

I actually like Kelly Ripa. She doesn't take herself seriously at all on that show, unlike Kathy Lee Gifford, who used to get on my nerves!

Then you must have missed the thread started by enigma while back when he tried to do something that had a pumpkin pie recipe. I thought I revealed what a foodie I am there. :)

[It was also one of the funniest thread I've been involved with. Everytime I look at a pumpkin pie, I think of enigma, and everytime I make my hot chocolate, I think of Moonbie] :)

Gary Valk and Glen Healy. Those who know who I'm talking about will whole heartedly agree.

Mainstream-wise, Jared from Subway is pretty fataing annoying.

As heinous as those three are, Michael Savage even worse.

Case 'A' Fascist... I'm right. Everyone else is not only wrong, but a traitor to the state. Liberals, immigrants, and gays are the new Jews, blacks, and gays. Him and Mussolini would get along well.

Jared: I don't care how many normal sized adults will fit into his old pants, Subway still sucks.

Sandra Lee: You could give a prime porterhouse steak to this talentless bimbo and she would STILL find a way to screw it up (Let's pan fry it in ketchup and tarragon!), all the while proclaiming that "Emeril ain't got nothing on me."

Why does he never get hit in the face with a baseball bat in any of those commercials?

In fact, why have none of the guests ever attacked Sean Hannity on his show? He's at least as irritating as Geraldo Rivera and Geraldo was attacked on his show.

Kelly Ripa definitely wins my vote for most irritating TV host

Kelly Ripa is definitely one of THE MOST irritating people on TV. She could stand to tone down her hyper Helium voice and restrain her overly-anxious personality. Calm down, Kelly.

Jeffrey Steingarten - fat, gross, uncultured, he holds eating untensils like dirt trowels, food hanging out of his mouth when he talks. Why on Earth is this person on TV? On a Food show no less? He takes a fork, makes a hamfist around it and shovels food into his mouth. I want to gag everytime I see him do this.

I generally rate commercials - - - from "Great" to "Nauseating". My special "Yecchhh" prize in this area goes to the Bozo who voices the Toyota Truck commercials. I have generally liked Toyota products, but this puts their trucks on my "s--t list". I first developed an allergy to this guy when he was voicing an especially sick beer commercial series a few years ago.

mm that's the only way to eat. :wink:

Hmm to keep on the thread topic perhaps Barry Scott.

I think Charlie Brooker did a good rundown of the most annoying people on British TV. Hes probably a bit too strong for this forum though.
 
  • #43
It's a tie between Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia
 
  • #44
Did anyone notice that this thread is 2 years old?

Anyways, I think Pierre McGuire is the most annoying. The only up I give him is that he's a Sidney Crosby fan.

Note: Only Canadian hockey fans would know. He's from TSN.

Conan O' Brien is the most annoying...I can't stand his jokes. (he thinks he's funny)

I think that Jay Leno is hilarious though, he even looks funny. (his chin :biggrin:)

I know!

I dislike him. He always talks about how awesome his show is.

I've never watched long enough to see him say that. He is taking over the tonight show after Jay leaves though andnd he's reportedly doing a makeover of the set...:rolleyes:
I can't stand his set right now. It's so dark and gloomy, which is quite depressing.

The thing that was the icing on the cake, was when I saw him pretending to strip on his show, when they had "technical difficulties.":eek:

Conan O'Brian makes me want to puke, he's that bad.

Just about everyone that is on a reality television show that is not food related and some that are on food related reality shows as well.

And Gilmore Girls.
Even though Lauren Graham is gorgeous.
