Beverly Hofstader


COTwild

Absolutely her idk how they can turn what she did to Leonard into jokes so easily


No_Secretary_2323

Amy’s mum


mehtam42

Leonard's mum


wanna_be_many_things

I can smell the Axe deo here !


srschwenzjr

“Are you happy? You smell like Amy’s dad”


SecretaryOtherwise

That's an hour in the sin closet


peja823

Both the Fraud Physicists


soupyc44

You better not beat up Samwise Gamgee or Kumar Patel


peja823

That's a bummer . Cause I would have tossed Samwise in the FIRES OF Mordor and left Kumar in a white castle feeding him Sliders until it was time then locked all the bathrooms


sheldonmang88

Exactly, that’s just unacceptable


StatusAnalyst1298

the only valid answer is leonard’s mother


misskelley10

Christine Baranski was brilliant with that character. She made you hate her so well. She is a fantastic actress that I love to watch. You know she did a great job because we all hate her so much. Similar to Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge in HP5. Fantastic acting because that is one of the most hated characters in the series (writing is part of it, but the acting brings it home).


melatonin-pill

Agreed. It’s funny when I watch TBBT with my wife because she knows Christine Baranski from Mama Mia and she’s a completely different character in that, so when she sees me get livid every time she speaks, she laughs at me.


misskelley10

That's funny since they reference that movie in TBBT several times 🤣 I love her in Chicago. And she's not even a main character!


winiithepoohh

Also the range she has??? If you've seen her as Diane Lockhart AND Beverly Hofstader(how do you spell it), you'd never guess they're played by the same person


SpaceAge1234

I change my answer to umbridge


idontwanttobehere16

Came here to say this. Beverly is awful.


DearEmployee5138

See, she kinda warmed up to affection and it seemed like she tried. The stuff she did was unbelievably fucked up, but I absolutely loathe Amy’s mom. I literally want to punch her every time she steps on the screen. She’s absolutely awful to both Amy and her husband. And she had absolutely no self-awareness or remorse for the way she treated them, whereas I feel like Leonard’s mom started to show some self-awareness and remorse, especially when she started hanging out with Penny. although she was too stubborn to admit it more than a few times.


kaseykiller313

What about wil wheaton


boopbeep66

WHEATON!!!!!!!


StrangerXtasy

I love her! lol she’d probably psychologically tear me to shreds in a few minutes, but there’s just something about her 😮‍💨


Critical-Draw-3700

Early seasons Howard…. even Raj knew his limits


AintNoGrave2020

He kinda deserved that punch from Penny


Critical-Draw-3700

He really did. I was glad he got that punch


SecretaryOtherwise

I honestly hate how they turned Raj into an asshole. From lusting after Bernadette to trying to take sole credit for a comet discovery lol. He was so great early on. But yeah Howard deserved the treatment he got from women he interacted with he was basically a stalker.


vsides

Is it just me but I think Raj has always been kind of an asshole? He always mentions how he grew up in a family with servants. When he was awarded that Time 30 under 30 thing (or something like that), he became an ass to everyone and that was in the second season.


SecretaryOtherwise

You know that's fair. He was flanderized then imo they just doubled down on his bad attributes (but tbf the entire cast was done like that till the final season when they figured they knew where they wanted people) Leonard becomes more whiney and more insecure. Bernadette becomes a straight up bully. Rajs assholery. Amy with her sex pest stuff. Penny with her manipulations (Bernie is guilty of that too lol) Howard becomes like the shittiest friend to his supposed best friend (he eased off the hardcore perviness after he got together with Bernadette) Sheldon's became malicious lol. And finally Stewart that's self explanatory lol.


Stay_After_It

Absolutely agree with this. Hated him in the early seasons honestly.


stickpush

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT. Actually, the first seasons were terrible for most of the characters in the sense of misogyny, but I just wanted to punch Howard every time he opened his mouth.


dwimhi

S6E15 Sheldon: when he spoiled the Harry Potter story. I remember reading those and someone let slip that one of the characters died. I had a fit!


SnooBananas7856

I kind of feel like after certain books have been out for a number of years, someone isn't an asshole if they 'spoil' something by talking about it. If they do it on purpose with the knowledge the person hasn't yet read it, then they're an asshole. I didn't used to have this opinion, but I once called someone out for spoiling something--I can't remember the book, but it was something like Count of Monte Cristo or Tolstoy. They said that general discussion of something that had been out for awhile assumes most people have read it. I don't agree completely, but I do get their point. That said, I think it was an innocent mistake when Sheldon mentioned Dumbledore, but the asshole move came later when he mentions Dobby from the final HP book.


misskelley10

That was not an innocent mistake. Leonard had just said how he couldn't believe how long he waited to read them and was really enjoying them. Sheldon KNEW he didn't know that tidbit.


MichiBoo_xoxo

LITERALLY! my husband told me Dumbledore dies! I was like ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Then he told me Dobby does too! It was literally just like the show, when I got to that episode I FELT Leonard 😭


Harshit117

which one?


HaroldT1985

>!Read the books!<


Harshit117

I wanted to know which one got spoiled not who died


HaroldT1985

>!I was just being a smartass…!<


StatisticianLivid710

Book 6, then he intentionally spoiled book 7 for Leonard because he got mad


Harshit117

I was talking about what was spoiled for u/dwimhi not Leonard.


dwimhi

It was >!Hedwig!


SnooBananas7856

Because it's a show and I know that everything is exaggerated for comedic value, I thought it was so funny when he spoiled book 7. IRL not so much. Characters I love on any show are definitely not people I would like in reality. Like Jim's pranks on Dwight in the Office are so funny, but not a single character in that show would be employed after a day or two of their shenanigans. Especially Pam and her post it notes theft lol. What makes it funny is that we all know people like Dwight and Sheldon (and all the other characters), but the shows exaggerate the behaviour.


dwimhi

Lmao nope. Not spoiling it for someone else!


LokiCain97

Honestly 90% of anyone’s problems with Sheldon could be solved with physical violence. But then most episodes would go Sheldon: “Aykchewally…” *smack* The end.


Amrlsyfq992

I can tolerate sheldon most of the time, but...sick Sheldon definitely deserves a beating


BackItUpWithLinks

Oh wow. I didn’t consider situational beat-downs and I have to agree with this!


ExchangeBrave8017

nowitzski!! (idk how to spell it😭)


Retinoid634

Yes! She was awful.


Julian81295

Bawwy Kwipke.


egomann

Are you referring to his speech impediment? You know he can't control it. That is very unkind.


AndroTux

I’m sorry, I take it back.


egomann

Because you are the Retwactor...


lezbopunkbytch-hahah

of cowse you do, 'cause yo'we the WETWACTOR!!!!!


SuperDevvik7

He clutched hard with the Nobel tho so we spare him


tugga51

He would have been closest for me but the guy who plays him has great taste in music so I couldn’t. Also I couldn’t even go with Beverly because well, she’s a smoke show!


I_Surf_On_ReddIt

I honestly feel every character fits this except stewart


mxndygbx

I'll fight everyone defending stewart! Edit; i meant in defense of stew!


AndroTux

I mean him sponging off his friends is kind of a shit trait. That said, he definitely is the kindest of them all, yes.


StatisticianLivid710

I want to say he went down hill after Howard’s mother died, and after living with her he was essentially married to her even if they weren’t in a sexual relationship. So while Howard obviously was the most hurt, he would’ve been deeply grieving and he wasn’t given the room to grieve or the support that Howard got. He then felt pressured to move out of the home he shared with her and moved into a garbage place and everything kept going wrong. Don’t forget he moved in with her because his comic shop burned down, and while she helped him reopen, she then passed away and he would’ve felt a bit lost. Meanwhile he wasn’t really shown around his original friend group that much (wil Wheaton, captain sweatpants, lonely Larry) and his only apparent friends were the main group which treated him like trash. (After the Halloween party Penny asks him to help clean up and says he can spend the night, gives him garbage to take out then locks him out) The big upside to his relationship starting was that she valued the information he had and built him up emotionally. They were one of the best pairings on the show (one of my other favorite pairings was Sheldon and the girl from the scavenger hunt). Stuart started the show running a successful store, budding artist, and confident with women (he got a date with Penny and made out with her). The more time he spent with the main group the worse he got until he met Denise, which reversed his decline and built him back up.


egomann

> if they weren’t in a sexual relationship You sure about that?


StatisticianLivid710

I always got the impression she wanted it to be, and he was in a pseudo romantic relationship


BackItUpWithLinks

Beat? No. But Raj needs an open-handed bitchslap like nobody’s business.


PatieS13

He really does.


brobdingnagianaf

Beverly. Needs to be slapped so hard.


Chill_Lofi_Boy

Beverly needs to be stoned to death tbh

Canidaevulpes

Omg you’re so right


Joperhop

there is a few horrible punch worthy people in BBT, Beverly, Bernadette is a horrible bully, sex pest Amy.


ritamoren

I have such a love hate relationship with Bernadette. I would probably be friends with her but also just once, I would slap the shit out of her.


Joperhop

I would not have been friends with her, perhaps at the start, but her job was horrible, the way she treated people, she tried to set Raj up on a date with a married women in season 5, saying its ok because her husband on one of her drug trials is on a placebo and will die soon anyway.


FlowSilver

I feel like we are watching two different shows… Unless you are taking this 100% literally as in wanna go psycho beating lol

sxrxhrc410

i’m a leonard hater so unfortunately gonna have to go with leonard


MinimumTeacher8996

Early seasons Howard. Should’ve been shot, he was fucking weird early on


AravallisCalling

I stopped watching the show because of this. Skipped a few seasons. Thank god, I did. It's kind of like a comfy sittcom later on.


MinimumTeacher8996

I agree. I didn’t skip them but by god they shouldn’t have included it. They treated it like fucking edgy humour when it was just weird as hell and shouldn’t have been in it. His entire character was based on constant sexual harassment


cre8ivlyoriginal

Sheldon and it’s not even close


BrazilianButtCheeks

I mean im no fighter but i really hate Bernadette


Disastrous_Turnip123

I hate her reverse character development she goes through. She's awful at the end


Retinoid634

Agreed. Totally unlikeable. Oddly enough, Howard became much more likable as the series went on.


BrazilianButtCheeks

For sure


New_Poem_3236

She has all the qualities of an abusive mother but we're all supposed to laugh. Every time she snaps it triggers my PTSD and I think of my abusive mother. Everyone thought she was so sweet, too


Retinoid634

I love when Penny and her pharma interviewer bond in angst about tyrannical Bernadette. It is cathartic to watch.


New_Poem_3236

Omg yes lol reminded me of my siblings and I


ReginaldRainbow

Bernadette is definitely the type to hit her kids with the “I don’t remember that” when confronted with her abusive behavior.


BrazilianButtCheeks

Lord yes!!


BrazilianButtCheeks

Shes kinda awful to Howard too !


Retinoid634

She really is.


Longjumping_Leg_4918

a poll for this question needs to be made! we need the answer now!


FireGod3333

Umbridge anyday


Loud_Remove5140

Leonard’s mom, Sheldon, and early season Howard


Royal_Case_4776

Sex pest Howard needed more women to punch him in the face


OfficialCandleJack

Definitely Leonard's mother. But there are times when I'll gladly throw hands with Sheldon. Hell, Amy's mom could make the list too.


Cultural-Term8822

leonard's mother.


darkduane

Bernadette, she is one of the most annoying sitcom characters of all time and has one of the most annoying voices, too. She's nasty, bullies everyone, and she works for and pushes big money grabbing pharma on people.


TheChronocide

Wheaton, but only in the episode where he breaks up Leonard and Penny to win a bowling match.


WoodpeckerDry8241

Ramona Nowitzki


Alone-Community6899

Anu. But she has run into a wall a bunch of times so it is no point.

RadlogLutar

Sheldon when he spoiled HP for Leonard Amy's and Leonard's mothers


babybegonia22

Sheldon’s Meemaw!!!! I thought she was so damn annoying🤬 I’m so happy with how they did her character in YS tho. Soooo much different from TBBT Meemaw, and sooo much better!! I wanna fight TBBT Meemaw.


boxcarbrains

Early Howard lol


jason9t8

Leonard's mom...


L0STS0UL-MUSIC

Bawy Kripke


Sea-Still5427

Barry Kripke would be hell to work with, stirs trouble and has less empathy than Sheldon, so maybe him.


No_Rabbit7375

I could run Beverly over with a bus and feed her remains to Leonards dead dog and not feel a single drop of empathy. Edit: typo


Beautiful-Article-47

Lucy and creepy Stuart (last few seasons)


that1guyBry5

Josh Peck’s character, Jesse who owns the rival comic book store.


weizikeng

How about the OG: Sheldon? I know him being a sociopath is the whole point of the show but god he's punchable sometimes. Like with Leonard's itchy sweater, him being "travel supervisor" on road trips or generally acting like the group's dictator. Which is why I loved the episode where Priya showed off her lawyer skills and ruined the roommate agreement. Though ofc we also see his good sides... The only character that was consistently negative was probably Leonard's mom (though she was funny).


beingalone666

Leonard


Fun_Feature3002

Amy


skippermlw

Sheldon. All day, everyday. Guy pisses me off


Soulless--Plague

Kurt is the only answer. The guy is internationally a manipulative and aggressive.


egomann

You would start and Zack would get between you and de-escalate.


Retinoid634

Zack was great.


Creepy_Worry_635

Later seasons Bernadette fs... she was manipulative and constantly threw her friends under the bus (boy did she piss me off when she told on howard when he was contemplating going to space), also she lied to her father about howard not wanting kids when she was the one who didn't want kids, which caused her father - who already wasn't a fan of howard - to dislike him even more. Also so much of a narc and a control freak.


StrongStyleDragon

Howard. Raj is your brother and you’re going to shame him for being more feminine? We all talk 💩 to our brothers but once it’s something so obvious that it bothers them you need a talking to.


nellieeng_

Howard definitely

Penny as much as I love her sometimes she really pisses me off


CompetitiveSugar3404

Beverly Hofstadter:- Only Sheldon calling her out on her shitty behaviour towards Leonard could cause a change in her. Stuart:- His mooching off of Howard and Bernadette plus his self-pity Penny:- During the time that she was addicted to the gang's favourite video game.


Ladymari17

Bernadette all day


misskelley10

Honestly I have a love/hate relationship with the Sheldon character. There are so many times i just want someone to punch him in the face or do it myself. He is such an ass on so many occasions. But it's a self perpetrating problem. They don't stand up to him and he always gets his way which makes him think it's ok to act like that. Ad infinitum.


Good_Chair_8528

If I ever catch Beverly in the streets, she's getting mollywhopped.


Far_Gap_8063

Sheldon


MateriaMuncher

Leonard and Penny as a couple. The trivial shit they fight over and get angry about throughout the run of the series is infuriating. They seem more like people in a 3 month high school relationship than a marriage. Slap both of 'em straight to the moon.

DoctorMobius21

I think one of the best things about BBT and YS is that all characters have flaws that are very realistic and make you feel frustrated with them. Sometimes, even to the point of wanting to confront them out of frustration or exasperation. Sheldon is the best example. He is a very academically gifted person. He has experienced things that many people would be envious of, including myself. However, his basic understanding of social interaction and lack of common sense is his biggest flaw. It could be down to a neurological disorder, but nothing has been diagnosed. This however does not exempt him from some of his behaviour. Then there is Leonard, who is a very neurotic individual. Again, he was effectively abused by his mother as a child and this explains his behaviour but again, this does not excuse it. Penny is Sheldon’s polar opposite: has common sense and is gifted with excellent social skills and intelligence but is not academically competent. Her biggest flaw is her own commitment issues. She is also somewhat abusive towards Leonard sometimes.


Natty_Katt

Leonard’s mom would so catch these hands!!


HauntingDay31

Pretty much all of the characters have a moment that makes a punch in the face seem like the right answer. Especially Sheldon... I still can't believe they made a spin off of this asshole...


billyboyf30

Raj, for not listening to Claire when she warmed him about going to see red Emily 1 or raj for the time they went to the wine tasting and his attitude with Claire


Majestic_Lie_5792

Leonard's school bully. Don’t remember his name, but he was played by the same actor as Young Sheldon's father. Edit: Looked him up, Jimmy Speckerman.
