10 Worst Friends Characters Who Appeared After Season 1

Ugh, this pr**k.

Friends had some pretty unlikeable one-episode wonders - although your writer does have a soft spot for Amanda "That's not perfume, that's me" Buffamonteezi) - but in our minds Dr. Benjamin Hobart stands out as the worst.

Where do you begin with this guy? You can just about forgive his interjecting himself into Ross and Charlie's relationship - God knows the Friends themselves played fast and loose with relationship etiquette - but the way Benjamin went about it...*sigh*.

From asking Ross to guess his birthday at a job interview to outright offering him the position if he broke up with Charlie, Benjamin acted like an immature high-schooler who couldn't stand the fact his ex had moved on. Even worse, he only felt this way after seeing Charlie for the first time in ages. His logic for wanting her back basically boiling down to "Hey, she still looks good. MINE!"

Even worse, it works! His toxic behaviour melts Charlies's heart, effectively making the moral of the story "If you want to win a girl's heart, act like a colossal tool".

Of course, Benjamin wasn't the first man to throw a wrench in Ross' love-life...
