10 Incredibly Annoying Classic Kids TV Characters

4. Team Rocket (Pokemon)

Team Rocket were three of the most incompetent nincompoops to ever grace the small screen:Jessie and James looked like Geordie Shore rejects and ran about like they had just shot crack, and Meowth was so damn stupid he didn't even deserve to have a nose. There are a whole range of hyperactive and idiotic characters on anime TV shows, and Team Rocket is definitely near the top of the list. How did they ever stay employed? Did Giovanni pity them? Or was Giovanni too busy partying in the tropics with those pink-haired, barely legal Pokecentre nurses to care? All Team Rocket lived for was abducting some dork's electric mouse. And they failed. Repeatedly. And they sang their moronic theme song. Repeatedly. Because this is Pokemon, a show obsessed with repetition. I don't know what's more annoying now, Team Rocket or the megalomaniac mammal that they shouldn't have just kidnapped, they should've curb stomped into yellow jelly.
