10 Awesome TV Shows With One Awful Character

9. Craig Middlebrooks - Parks & Recreation

Billy Eichner's unbearably camp Craig Middlebrooks joined Parks and Rec during its sixth season, and with his hyperactive mannerisms and bleating voice, quickly became the show's all-time most-loathed character by a country mile.

Craig is a prototypical "small doses" character, but even then, his scenes were largely to the detriment of just about every episode he appeared in, with his loud, melodramatic sass meshing awkwardly with pretty much whatever else was going on (which was perhaps the intent).

The show already had its share of wacky, flamboyant characters: did it really need another to rule them all?
