7. Jamie Langston Jingle All The Way
Why Youre Supposed to Like Him: Hes the classic forlorn son who misses his daddy, and hes got an adorable little kid face to boot. And thats basically about it. The reason youre supposed to like him is that youre either a little boy yourself and you can imagine that hes you, or youre a parent whos thankful to him for shutting your own child up for five minutes so you can do some housework. Are you either of those people? Well then chances are he annoyed the living shit out of you.
Why Hes Annoying: In the mid-to-late nineties, mainstream Hollywood seemed to take one look at child star Jake Lloyd and think; We can put this brat in anything and people will love him. Well, they got the first part right. Despite being a terrible child actor (which is forgivable to a degree, given the kind of movie Jingle All the Way Is), his character is also an obnoxious little brat that pretty much epitomizes whats wrong with Christmas. Hes want, want, want and the films message is demand it hard enough and youre parents will break themselves trying to get it as a result. Bah, humbug.
