Right then, I’m going to attempt to relieve the boredom while we all wait for E3. Here 7 of the most annoying videogame characters ever, in my extremely honest opinion.
1. Lemmings. The aim of the game was to save the little green haired guys from a variety of hideous deaths, but their nauseatingly cute catchphrases – “oh no!” and their irritating ignorance of the danger of walking under a guillotine or into a blazing fire made the ‘Nuke all lemmings’ button an attractive option.
2. Toad. The mushroom guy from the various Marios. He was alright in Mario 64, helping with an extra star here and there, but then he cropped up in Mario Kart 64 with a helium-enhanced voice and an attitude perfectly summed up by his trademark “I’m the best” as he swept past to victory. Worse still was his cocky little cackle as he smack you with a red shell.
3. Natalya/Elvis. Unbelievably annoying side kicks (so called because you want to kick them). They’ll mess about, seemingly oblivious to screaming RCP-90/120 gun battles taking place in their immediate vicinity, and can only be alerted to danger by an ‘accidental’ bullet in the face from Bond or Joanna, thus causing an automatic mission failure.
4. Yoshi. Before he became a leading character in his own right, he was just Marios replacement for Epona. And he was pants. It’d be fine until some green turtle got in your way, at which point the grinning dinosaur would throw you off and leg it, hell bent on throwing himself down the nearest hole.
5. Sonic (not Rav). The blue hedgehog (who nearly has as much attitude as Monkey with Attitude) got a whole load of admirers upon his debut. But to many, he oozes a level of arrogance which makes Chris Evans look a nice bloke. His specialty was tapping his foot and scowling when left to rest.
6. Thorin, from the Hobbit. Back when the ZX spectrum was around (way before my time), the Hobbit contained a character who considered sitting on the ground and singing about gold as somehow helpful to your quest. The usual recourse for this was the command ‘TAKE THORIN AND INSERT GOLD’.
7. Mario. Well, if Sonics in there, the camp plumber must be as well. He’s unable to keep quiet, with a ridiculous whoop or gasp accompanying every leap. Imagine if one of your friends did that, you’d have to call him Grix Thraves or something like that.
Feel free to add more.

Meka_Dragon exclaimed:
"He kills you if you go back into the store after stealing something!"
I hate to be the teacher Meka... but wouldn't it be easier if you didn't steal anything?
Abe... and Red 3 in X-Wing Alliance... ALWAYS the first one to get shot down, stupid sod.

Talk about Guerrero.... what about HHH.
He is in every storyline. So I dress him up in a bra.

Spyro the dragon- He has the most irritating voice,purple skin and runs like a sheep.
Indeed Kazooie should be in everyones list.
Eddie Guererro on WWF No Mercy seems to crop up every damn time you play for one of the belts. With his crap music, and stupid mullet, he annoys me.
That owl that makes you fly through hoops in DK64.
Bubsy the Bobcat for being so damn lame.
Ozzie from Chrono Trigger. Stop making me run through these traps and let me beat you!
That shopkeeper in Links Awakening. He kills you if you go back into the store after stealing something!
Gary in Pokemon Red/Blue. Always appears when you least want a battle!
Giles from Lagoon (SNES). You have to go into this mine to save him, then he follows you out. The problem is that he walks soooooo s l o w l y. You're always waiting for him to catch up!
