Community: Every Main Character Ranked Worst To Best

8. Pierce Hawthorne

Community Season 4 Halloween Special
NBC

Getting the legendary Chevy Chase for Community was like hitting a gold mine for the creators. His wealth of comedy experience made Pierce a constantly amusing character, and he undoubtedly brought a sense of validity to the show that was sorely needed. However, he fell short in a few areas, which is why he ranks lower on this list.

The heir to Hawthrone Wipes was a constantly funny character, thanks to his lack of filter and inappropriate comments. However, here lies one of his biggest problems. As a frequently offensive bigot, Pierce could be tough to root for, as most of his humour singled him out as unlikeable.

Additionally, he always felt like an outsider to the group, despite being one of the main cast members. His constant harassment and position as the "bad guy" was funny but painted him in a bad light, which brings him down here.

To add more smoke to this fire, his premature exit from the show and lack of acknowledgement meant that he left with zero fanfare. This was the straw that broke the camel's back regarding his feeling out of place with the main cast.
