10 Most Annoying GTA Characters Ever

Despite boasting a remarkably impressive array of unique and interesting characters, the GTA franchise is not without its individuals that are just plain annoying. It's understandable for this to be the case, of course, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the huge scale the series has reached has made it extremely difficult for creators Rockstar to populate their alternate reality with an entire cast of likeable and engaging characters. Some of them are just bound to miss the mark of endearing themselves to us. The more important - and probably influential - reason to consider, however, is the franchise's satirical style. With the overall satirical tone of the games, the majority of the series' characters are based on some sort of stereotype or clichéd personality trait. This is a great mechanic for allowing the characters of the game to aid GTA's mirroring of the real world, and helps poke fun at the right people and things without ever overtly having to explain what it is doing. The traits of the characters that inhabit Rockstar's world are a large part of what make it such an entertaining and vividly realised version of the reality; they are what help Rockstar to poke fun at just about everyone and everything. A fair few of them, however, are just annoying beyond reprieve, and so we are here to bring you a list (in no particular order) of ten of the most annoying characters in the franchise so far. And there's really only one place to start such a list...
