I know all those characters are cool and funny, but… Whom you disliked most? My personal hate list is as follows:
Sybil Pandemic. A real bitch. Anyone else tried to shoot her and felt really sorry Sam was saying “Better not”?
Рeepers & Whizzer. I don’t know why, but Specs is okay for me. :) But still he’s a jerk
Perhaps, that’s it…

I think I'm one of the only people who doesn't mind any of the Soda Poppers ):
Most hated characters for me would probably be Sybil and Abe, but that said, I don't really mind them too much.
I wasn't too fond of Brady at first, but then I grew to seriously miss him.

I feel the same way as Jake, at first I didn't really like Brady but then he kinda grew on me, sorta like Hugh bliss...
I would say the soda poppers but they're already cliche in S+M hate circles though I love whizzer's fire-pee ability in 205! lol
I never really liked Stinky or Abe (though I can accept abe, stinky is annoying and says such stupid (though funny) things... you wonder if her dad dropper he on her head as a baby or when stinky was baking her he used expired yeast...
really there's not a character I absolutely hate, some are annoying but most of them are just silly at worst.

Aye, I miss Hugh and Brady, too. They were a little annoying at first, but I grew to like them with their absence. And when Whizzer declared his power "It burns when I pee!" I immediately laughed out loud! Not just because it's an amazing power, but also because it means Whizzer probably has Infernal Prostate Cancer!

I never cared for that Max guy.
Actually, my least favorite is probably Sybil. She was great at first, but her act has worn a little thin.
Although, without Sybil, we wouldn't have Abe. (c'mon, a stone Abe Lincoln head is one of the coolest things ever!)

@ chagge: no, ZOMBIE lincoln is the cool one! lol, I think it owuld have been more interesting if sybil had hooked up with him (though not nearly as wacky, which is more the idea I think)
and I agree sybil's bits ahve run dry, that's why I suggested in the season3 thread that she and abe elope to vegas or LA and hte possessed desoto drive off while they're asleep and strand them there for a season!

You think marrying a Lincoln head statute is more wacky than marrying a zombie Lincoln. I believe both constitute quite a bit a wackiness.
Clearly, there aren't enough characters for me to choose a "most hated" one!
No?
Well, okay, the truth is that I can't pick a least favorite ONE because I would have to choose ONE of the Soda Poppers. They came to a nice conclusion, mind you, but I didn't like seeing them time and time again until this latest episode.
Sybil is ok, but I think she needs a new profession. She's starting to get boring.

ya, i'll vote sybil also. I dunno... she was to serious. and the whole sybilXabe stuff was getting kinda annoying at season 2...
I also didn't like the poppers very much untill 205. now I can suffer them.
hmmm except sybil... hmmm... hmmmmmmmm..............
oh! harry moleman was kinda annoying here and there. dunno why... ohoh! and mr hugh "gayprill" bliss. he was freaking annoying! XDXD
oh, and mr featherly was also kinda annoying.
ya, season 2's character were a lot better than season 1's.
guess telltale needed some time to get the hang of it. ^,^
so, as long as these characters are out of the list for season 3, we're ok:
-sybil
-abe
-featherly (and all other characters from 102)
umm these are ok.
I personaly don't wanna see any used character (except sam, max, bosco and flint of course).
also, no used screen would be great. ^^ get a new look for everything.
oh, wait, you can bring jurgen back. XD
I feel the need to throw some love Sybil's way. No, she isn't perfect, but she's not a bitch either. :(
Then again maybe I'll just think of Sybil and the 'b' word in reference to the Meredith Brooks song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk58p1jeCCA). :)

Yeah, I like Sybil too!
There's really no one I really hate, either, come to think of it.
I too shall join the Sybil defense force.

Will..... I have reread that post a couple times now and I keep seeing "Civil Defense Force".
As for least liked, Abe. I could take him having a jackhammer accident in stride.
Yeah, Sybil's okay. I think it's good to have a character to slow things down a bit, and she can be comedic gold when she gets to react to some of Max's suggestions. A bit overused though.
For least favorite... Since the Soda Poppers feel a bit taken, I'll go with Jurgen. Sorry people, but to me he's just annoying. Not funny annoying, just annoying. Besides him, Harry Moleman isn't too high on my list either.

Heretic! :p
I think I like Jurgen so much because I spent my teen years in the goth scene. (Yeah, I'm not proud... there's nothing wrong with the culture, but the dress code is pretty awful.)

Heh, yeah. I guess the fact that I'm one of the few who has Featherly as my all-time favorite recurring character might have something to do with the number of drama students in my current dorm... :)

Jurgen for sure.
Hehe, so the stereotypes are true?
Of course they are. :p
I remember one particular instance when one of them had gotten some homework to make a short play/stage act to introduce themselves to the class. Her's included a Nietzsche quote. :D

The most obnoxious characters have to be Max in the far future, as well as the S&M "instances" that hijack the time elevator.

Bahaha! A cliche using a cliche? My head just exploded. :p
If I ever quote Nietzsche in my writings, I will vow to never put ink to paper again.
Hate is too strong.
Some Dislike: Abe, Myra!, Jürgen
Strong Dislike: Moai Head #3 (Grumpy Moai, when not in "Basalt" state)
Hall of Fame: Specs and Peepers
Sybil needs to either take a long absence or just change and DO something (other than being with Abe or behind her counter)

My least favorite characters are Mr.Featherly and Stinky.

Jurgen, you say… Well, except for Sam and Max (these two have be my favorite because I logically associate myself with both of them), it is Jurgen whom I like most. He’s… he’s cool. Just cool. :) I’d really like to see him in Season 3, please Telltale guys make him live again and get him back form hell.
Then goes Superball. I like the way that guy speaks. As for “speaking” in general, I also enjoyed the way that nameless guy in yellow teddy bear mask was talking to Sam (remember, in S1EP3, when S&M just arrived at local mafia hub, that guy right behing the door). He was speaking like a pro, I almost laughed my guts out. :)

I think perhaps hate is a bit of a strong word. But characters I wouldn't mind never seeing again include:
Abe Lincoln's stone head
Soda Poppers, hopefully s2 put an end to them for real
Jurgen (I'm with ya on that one, mre)

Who are those "Poppers" anyway? Please someone explain a guy from Russia who isn't familiar with the US culture. I know them as "Soda Poppers" from S&M series, but that's it. Do they appear somewhere else, on a TV show maybe? Why license?
2 ezzetabi Still that's a good news, he-he. :)))) So evil I am. LOL

Nah, they're just characters created for the games. I don't know if it's an America-specific phenomenon, but it's a common joke that child actors cling on to their fame long after it's gone, leading to mental instability.

My vote is for Hugh Bliss. Can't stand his disgustingly fake cheer, it's like fingernails on a blackboard to me. The Poppers are a close second.
And keep Jurgen! I happen to like his parody-of-a-goth persona.

I don't really hate any of the characters... but there are some characters for which my enthusiasm has worn thin. Namely Abe and Sybil. I've seen plenty of them for the time being, and would love to have a break from them in Season 3.
I'd have to second that sentiment, I'm hoping that Sybil and A.L. go on a sabatical for at least part of season 3. I want the Desoto back before they go though.

I could picture quite a few gruesome ways both of those could happen.

I still like my idea of them eloping to LA or vegas or soemthing and the possessed desoto stranding them there and comming back on it's own. both problems solved! they're gone for atleast a few epps AND we get the desoto back!

I do think that Sam and Max needs to remember its roots else it will fall too far from the original model and fail. Variety is the spice of life. Sure Sybil is a bit lame and bitchy, but she always had a wacky new scheme. Also, when it gets right down to it every character in Sam and Max, save for Sam, is imbalanced in a way that makes them unbearable. This is of course done on purpose, and is probably satire of the amount of morons we all deal with on a daily basis. The reason why S&M works so well is that they always end up snubbing or otherwise destroying the really annoying people. It's a sort of tension/frustation based comedy, followed by a cathartic and chaotic ending.

I used to hate the Mariachis, after missing the one in 201 and having the one in 203 spoiled for me by the walkthrough, but in 204 I really grew to like them.

I am surprised so many people dislike sybil, she is one of my favorite characters. my least favorite character is the mole.

although i have not played season 2 so i wouldnt really know if sybil is still good.

Does yours involve a slave colony run by sentient and malicious cars? (pixar = evil thoughts)
although i have not played season 2 so i wouldnt really know if sybil is still good.
On a technicality...maybe yes.

Just take this post and add my name to it. These are my exact same feelings. I've never really had a problem with the Soda Poppers, and I just think they're a bit of a laugh really.
Sybil and Abe on the other hand... I mean, Abe was good for the episode he was intended for, and I was never really that fond of Sybil from the start. But like Badwolf, I don't really mind them that much, they're just my least favourite, rather than hated.
