TV’s 10 Greatest Assholes
There’s always an asshole in every group of friends, it doesn’t necesseraly mean they’re bad people they’re just assholes. So this means there’s loads on TV, with that said Crasstalk have come up with a list of the 10 greatest assholes on tv. Take a look for yourself:
10. Comic Book Guy (The Simpson)
What Makes Him an Asshole: Worst. Listicle. Ever.
Why We Love Him Anyways: It’s people like Comic Book Guy who make the internet. That YouTube video of the Charles in Charge theme? Comic Book Guy is the one who painstakingly transferred it from a VHS he’d recorded in 1988. That wiki you read when you couldn’t remember the name of the aliens in Season 3, Episode 1 of Dr. Who? Edited by Comic Book Guy. Wherever there’s a Google search for an obscure piece of knowledge, Comic Book Guy is there.
09. Jeff Winger (Community)
What Makes Him an Asshole: Jeff Winger is too cool for school, including Greendale Community College. Cynical and silver-tongued, Jeff easily succumbs to the temptation to manipulate the people around him for self-serving purposes.
Why We Love Him Anyways: Beneath those abs is a heart that’s grown three sizes since his first day at Greendale. Occasionally, Jeff will give us glimpses of (gasp!) sincere emotion, and he’s used his oratorical power to inspire the study group with many, many an altruistic speech.
08. Pete Campbell (Mad Men)
What Makes Him an Asshole: Sniveling, whiny, and entitled, Pete Campbell disproves the theory that it’s only the Millennials who act like they should be made the boss of the joint from the moment they walk in. He has no problem attempting to blackmail Don or manipulate his father-in-law to get what he wants in his career.
Why We Love Him Anyways: Only someone with Pete’s youthful enthusiasm could cut a rug like this.
07. Coach McGuirk (Home Movies)
What Makes Him an Asshole: McGuirk’s gruff exterior and questionable advice make him a surprising choice for children’s soccer coach. Then again, maybe it isn’t so surprising that he spends more time planning his future bartending career than really coaching soccer, considering he’s never actually played the game himself.
Why We Love Him Anyways: While his methods may be unorthodox, deep down he obviously cares about Brendon, Melissa, and Jason. It’s not whether the grill works; it’s that he was there to build it for them.
06. Jessie Spano (Saved By the Bell)
What Makes Her an Asshole: For all her talk about looking beyond appearances, Jessie is probably meaner to Screech than any of the other Bayside Tigers are. High-strung even when not hopped up on caffeine pills, Jessie rarely hesitates before taking her anxiety out on her friends.
Why We Love Her Anyways: Someone has to put Bubba in his place when he’s being a sexist pig. Jessie fights the good fight.
05. Michael Scott, The Office
What Makes Him an Asshole: Inappropriate Chris Rock impersonations, board meetings that serve as a testing ground for improv characters, and endless “that’s what she said” jokes. Not one to respect boundaries, if Michael ever says, “that’s not what your mom said last night,” he might be serious.
Why We Love Him Anyways: Beneath the clumsy exterior, he has a heart of gold. His employees roll their eyes at his antics, but one look at their faces when he announces he’s leaving Scranton makes it clear that they consider him one of their best friends too.
04. The Cast of Seinfeld
What Makes Them Assholes: The Virgin. The Nose Job. The Big Salad. The Voice. The Puffy Shirt.
Why We Love Them Anyways: The traits that make the Seinfeld cast assholes are the same ones that make them so very relatable. Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer vocalize many of our own thoughts as they navigate the complexities of modern social mores, pointing out the ridiculousness of usually unspoken rules and proprieties. And they’re maybe a little funny while doing so.
03. Zapp Brannigan, Futurama
What Makes Him an Asshole: His shunning of underwear alone is enough to make a person (or alien) sigh. Pompous self-congratulation, sexist innuendos, and a disregard for his troops earns Zapp the rank of Asshole, First Class.
Why We Love Him Anyways: You can’t stay mad at a man in velour.
02. David Silver, Beverly Hills, 90210
What Makes Him an Asshole: When Donna Martin finally loses her virginity to David, she tells him it’s because “he waited.” Sure, he waited. Waited in the backseat of a limousine, schtupping Ariel.
Why We Love Him Anyways: His dancing, singing, and rapping skills could give Justin Bieber a run for his money.
01. Ross Geller, Friends
What Makes Him an Asshole: Ross is the dangerous Nice GuyTM. He thinks he’s being a “friend” by not telling you how he really feels. Then when you finally do hook up, he turns into an insecure, jealous neanderthal. Neanderthals belong on display in your museum, Ross, not in your bed.
Why We Love Him Anyways: In the end, he’ll skip his important award ceremony to take Rachel to the hospital. And, to be totally honest, they were on a break.
Maybe I’m the asshole in my group because I like nearly all of these characters.
