Fictional Characters you'd like to punch

Disclaimer: If the character in question IS punched or gets physical comeuppance for his actions, he/she does not count

Many times in literature, film and gaming, we are introduced to characters, sometimes the good guys but mainly bad/minor characters, who really get on our nerves or antagonise us, and we feel need a good punching. A punching that they, sadly, never receive in the plot.

For example, many films have antagonists that tell the protagonist "Come on, Hit me!" and they've been such a bastard throughout the story that you really want the protagonist to, and he really wants to as well. But he dosen't, because 'Succumbing to rage will make me like him (the bad guy)'. This is true, but we still want a little bit of smug satisfaction in at least breaking his nose, right?

It's cathartic! Like when you imagine punching your boss/sibling/bully-at-school. You'd probably never do it, but it's nice to imagine doing it.

So, if you were given the chance, what ficitonal characters from any medium would you give a big (non-fatal) wallop in the face?

My list:

Mrs Wilson from the Great Gastby. Sure, she

Spoiler: spoilers to book! Do Not Read unless you've read the Great Gastby...which you really, REALLY ought to

dies horribly, but still...

Smug Bastard Boyfriend 101 in any RomCom

The coporate guy who plays miniture golf in Avatar

I`d have gone with either Daisy or Tom Buchannan myself

 

[TheMadHatter]

The rival from any of the pokemon games, damn him and always taking my weakness *shakes fist*

 

[GrinningManiac]

Nurse Ratchet.

I hate her! She's such an evil hag!

It's a shame she didn't die...

her

as well as Catherine from Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms.

What a crazy delusional *****

I'd rather hit Henry. Catherine was a bit thick and dull, but Henry was a flat-out waste of oxygen and food. He was close-minded, depressive and never aspired to anything. What a lousy waste of space

 

[CNKFan]

Dim from A Clockwork Orange. God damn I hate his giggling.

Didn't Alex dick-kick him or something?

No Alex dick-whacked Georgie he just moved out of the way when Dim came at him. Then he cut his hand.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Sofia Lamb from Bioshock 2. She just has that condesending tone in her voice along with the obvious superioritey that I just...UHG! I hate her. I was hoping I would get to shove one of those Big Sister needles into her eye.

 

[MetalDooley]

The female characters in pretty much every David Eddings novel.Now I enjoy Eddings work and I appreciate that he tried to create strong female characters that don't conform to the usual fantasy damsel in distress archetype.Problem is,for Eddings,strong female character pretty much equals smug,annoying *****

 

[slightly evil]

Bel from twilight, HAVE SOME SELF CONTROL FOR F*CKS SAKE I apreciate it's a romance but there is more in this world than one guy; IE. gunfights and carchases. you dont even see the bad guy torn to bits cos the selfish b*tch is unconscious

 

[Armored Prayer]

Shepherd from MW2. Backstabbing bastard.


And a Predator, just to say I did.

That kid.

 

[Shrewsbury]

Miranda from Mass Effect 2, for being the most fuck-annoying ***** I've ever encountered in a videogame. Even the Illusive Man didn't piss me off as much as that cow did.

 

[JeanLuc761]

The Turian councilor from Mass Effect. I swear to god, I will be the happiest person on Earth if ME3 allows me to deck him with a punch.

 

[JEBWrench]

Mickey Mouse. He needs it, condescending prick.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

Navi and Otacon, they piss me off...

 

[JEBWrench]

Bel from twilight, HAVE SOME SELF CONTROL FOR F*CKS SAKE I apreciate it's a romance but there is more in this world than one guy; IE. gunfights and carchases. you dont even see the bad guy torn to bits cos the selfish b*tch is unconscious

Oh, it gets worse. Her Self Control is her superpower, didn't you know?

 

[Atoli]

I think i would like to punch Jacob Black from twilight series. Just for the way he acts and looks. And also Sticky from Fallout 3. 'Are we there yet?' Arrgh.

 

[little bear]

Iago from othello was a serious prick...he should get decked in the throat for what he did.

I kinda wanna punch sookie stackhouse from dead until dark as well...I still like her in contrast to other female protagonist I've read about un recent memory but damn it woman learn to stick to one man.

oh and morpheous son from the sandman series. "what is your damage?!"

 

[captainwolfos]

God.

You, sir, win an internet.

On topic; I've got way too many I would love to punch.

Probably most recently I'd probably love to punch the Spy from TF2 square in the face for being such a back-stabbing arse.
Though that's also why we love him. My petite chou-fleur.

(Medic ftw)

 

[Tharwen]

Strauss from Quake 4.

"I need protection! My skills are too valuable to waste! Make Kane stay and keep me alive! I'm a dick!"
