19. Chilly from Doc Mcstuffins

Disney

Yeah, Chilly is cute and all, but the worrying is out of control. Your name is Chilly. Try being "chill" for once.

Obligatory parent rant:

Michelle Lefee @MichelleLefee

If I were to ever harm anyone, it would be Chilly the Snowman from Doc Mcstuffins. HE IS SO ANNOYING

18. The Map from Dora the Explorer

Nickelodeon

The only reason he isn't ranked higher is because he gets much less screen time than the other characters on the list. Some day we will be in nursing homes babbling, "I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map..." and it's all his fault.

Obligatory parent rant:

Jason E Wright @AightImback

My son loves watching Dora the explorer but I tell you I can't stand that damn map. His voice is annoying

17. Robbie Rotten from Lazy Town

lazytown.com

Easily the creepiest looking character ever to grace a children's show (not even the Teletubbies can out-creep this guy). Having to stare at his plastic, fright show of a face for half an hour is the worst.

Obligatory parent rant:

Kerry N @lavenderlily16

The bad guy on Lazytown is nothing but a Jim Carrey Grinch impression - it makes an annoying show all the more irritating.

16. Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba!

Nickelodeon

He's referred to only as "the little green one" in the opening song because there's not much more to say about him. When he's not moping over something he's waving those weirdly long arms in the air.

Obligatory parent rant:

Meg @nomiddlenamemeg

Kids' Show Character I Hate Today: Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba. That jerk is so miserable he has an entirely separate costume with a frown.

15. Max from Max & Ruby

Treehouse TV

Max is always demanding something, and his tendency to only say one word at a time bugs.

Obligatory parent rant:

ƘҽɑӀɑ @Kay_lynnelle

Max and Ruby 👌...even though Max is fucking annoying 😒

14. SpongeBob from SpongeBob SquarePants

Nickelodeon

Even if you enjoy his show you have to admit that SpongeBob's voice — and laugh — are grating. They're also somehow pitched perfectly to wake a sleeping baby.

Mr.VeLa @Tony7Vela

Cuddled up with my son watchin sponge bob lol, dudes annoying but it keeps my son happy do whatever's lol:)

13. Ming-Ming Duckling from Wonder Pets!

Nickelodeon

Don't let the cuteness fool you. Watch enough of this show and eventually Ming-Ming's lisping catchphrase will wake you in the night.

Obligatory parent rant:

Grumplestiltskin @2FBS

For persistent & aggravated annoying "cute" lisping I sentence Ming Ming of The Wonder Pets to Death by Yum Cha.

12. Peppa Pig from Peppa Pig

eOne Family

That voice. Ugh.

Blair @Blurrsy

As a parent you find kids shows that drive you crazy, today it's Peppa Pig. I hate that pig & want to turn her into bacon. #mommyproblems

11. The long-haired guy from Imagination Movers

Disney

All of these overly enthusiastic guys will drive you up the wall with their matching blue suits and 70 IQs, but the long-haired guy takes the cake. (Note: Long-haired guy recently cut his hair into a mohawk, which is possibly even more annoying.)

Ashley @AshleyDiamond_1

@Cassieheath83 @sonny_soper I don't mind Oso. But imagination Movers are painful to watch. I hate the guy with the long hair the most

10. Angelina from Angelina Ballerina

PBS Kids

So much drama. She is constantly throwing tantrums or otherwise being a total brat.

Obligatory parent rant:

Laurasaurus Dax @Jadzaea

God, Angelina Ballerina is the worst, most annoying freakin' kid's show. I want to just hang her with her ballet slippers.

9. Special Agent Oso from Special Agent Oso

Disney

How can he be so stupid if he's supposed to be a special agent? Every bumbling thing he does makes you yell at the screen, "How do you have this job?"

Lee Ann @trishhbishh

Special Agent Oso is so stupid why am I being subjected to watching this 😣

8. Twist from The Fresh Beat Band

Nickelodeon

This goofy white dude mugs at the camera in such a way that even Jim Carrey would say, "Bring it down a skosh." Plus he raps and scratches turntables, so yeah.

Obligatory parent rant:

Erin @librarianerin

Jack loves watching The Fresh Beat Band. It's a cute show, but Twist is really annoying!

7. Clarabelle Cow from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

Disney

She has the most annoying voice of any character on a children's show ever. It's so bad she makes even Peppa Pig sound like Morgan Freeman.

Megan @mbcoe27

I don't hate anyone in real life more than I hate Clarabelle the cow on Mickey Mouse clubhouse. She is truly the worst.

6. Elmo from Sesame Street

PBS / Via youtube.com

Elmo is cute and your kid probably loves him, but eventually hearing that high-pitched voice coming out of the TV becomes maddening. And let's not even mention that "La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Elmo's World!" song.

THE Ashley @ashleypei

Damn Elmo! What an annoying creature. If it wasnt for my daughter adoring him, id blow that fuzzy red bastard to peices.

5. Dora from Dora the Explorer

Nickelodeon

Not only does she yell everything, but she never knows where she is (despite holding the title "explorer"). Plus, she popularized that annoying "asking questions at the screen" thing that so many shows do nowadays.

Obligatory parent rant:

Taffy Roman @TaffyRoman

@TheJenniMurphy oh hell no. I'd actually lie to my kid and say it doesn't air anymore. Dora is the worst! Ugh. #annoying

4. Barney from Barney & Friends

PBS

You might have expected to see Barney higher on this list, but at this point it is so universally accepted that he's annoying that he just doesn't irk as much as he used to. Now you're like, "There's Barney. Doing his annoying thing." Shrug.

Chrissie @Chr1ss1e_

Baby Bop, Riff and BARNEY r so damn annoying! I wish this kid would like a different program! Ugh #Barney...

3. Katerina Kittycat from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood

PBS

She throws fits when she doesn't get her way and also has an annoying mom. (Meow, meow.) Katerina doesn't deserve to lose points because of her mom, but oh well.

Obligatory parent rant:

Rachael Tripp @rachaelnb

Normally I don't mind when Hayden watches Daniel Tiger. But Katerina Kittycat has to be the most annoying character ever. #mommyproblems

2. Ruby from Max & Ruby

Treehouse TV

Part of me wants to give Ruby a break because she seemingly has to raise Max on her own. (Seriously, where are their parents? Did they abandon these annoying kids?) In the end, though, she is so bossy yet oblivious that she earns her high ranking.

Sugar @daneeemarieee

Ruby is the most annoying sister ever. Yes, I'm watching Max & Ruby. Again.

1. Caillou from Caillou

Teletoon / Treehouse

Caillou earns the top spot for being an amazingly spoiled, whiny little brat. Why exactly did anyone think this would be good for us to show our kids?

Obligatory parent rant:

BARBARA @BTeevale

Caillou was such an annoying little 💩. I hated when my son was going his watch Caillou all the time phase..
