Top 10 terrible but funny female characters

Since the advent of television and film, women have often been sidelined in comedy. It’s not that there weren’t interesting women. The genius of Lucille Ball is undeniable. But think about it. How many uninteresting, nagging wives or annoying sisters can you name that compare to witty and irreverent husbands, sons, and brothers?

Well, nothing more. Today, there are plenty of female characters who are just as rude, vulgar, and just overall awful people as their male counterparts.

I love watching it! And hopefully, you will too. So here’s a list of hilariously awful women who have appeared on TV and in movies.

Ten heather chandler

I wouldn’t have expected this if I had a brain tumor for breakfast.

One of three Heathers in the movie heathers, Heather Chandler (Kim Walker) is certainly the worst of the trio. Perhaps that’s why she gets killed off about 20 minutes into the movie. But within her 20 minutes, she rattled off some of the comedy’s most famous quotes in this classic Winona-her-Ryder/Christian-her-Slater-black-her comedy and left quite the impression. .

When a member of the Heather family threw up in the toilet, she scorned, saying, “Bulimia is just 87.”

Have her clean the drink drain too.^[1]

9 Sue Sylvester

\
Glee It’s full of female antiheroes.From Rachel sending glee club members to a crack house to avoid losing her singing contest to Santana threatening to eliminate gay characters, the movie’s cheerleaders There’s a reason Glee is called the “Unholy Trinity.”

But few gym coaches on television can claim to be as entertaining as Sue Sylvester, played by Jane Lynch. Sue doesn’t care about anything except her own personal interests. From physical assaults such as pushing his rival glee club coach down the stairs to get him a job, to endless abuse of his fellow teachers and students. She is essentially blackmailing her boss, the principal of McKinley High School, and can do whatever she wants. She is she too.

She falsely accuses a teacher of sexual abuse, tries to shoot a student with a cannon to win a cheerleading competition, and, most bizarrely, traps two students in a fake elevator to force them to kiss. or Not only that, she pumps aphrodisiacs into the air to make them want each other. That would be illegal. But does it make good television?

That’s what Sue C does.^[2]

8 Jacqueline White

Some actresses have their perfect type, but in Jane Krakowski’s case, I think it’s a “mean woman.”

upon unbreakable kimmy schmidt, Krakowski plays Jacqueline White, a wealthy mother of two who hires the main character, Kimmy, as a nanny. Most of the comedy about the super-rich and out-of-the-world character comes in the second half of her first season, when she loses all her money in a divorce.

One of the show’s more bizarre plots revolves around Jacqueline, who grew up on a Native American reservation. She vehemently tries to deny her heritage, which leads to hilarious scenes between her and her parents.

Her kids are basically just accessories to her, and one episode revolves around her giving her kids drugs to keep them from being too hyperactive and… well, childish . Even though she had issues throughout her show, she ultimately grew as a person and ultimately changed the offensive name of the Washington Redskins to honor her career. You will put all your effort into what you are doing.^[3]

7 hannah horvath

Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) isn’t trying to be bad or funny. Yet, she embodies both perfectly.

on an HBO show girl, the main character, Hannah, is described by her own best friend as a “natural narcissist.” Hannah isn’t as mean on the surface as some of the other characters on this list, but the things she’s done suggest that she’s pretty self-centered. As a writer she seems to only write about herself and takes her cocaine just to sound cool when publishing her articles about her own life. Take extreme actions such as

From the first scene of the first episode, we see Hannah’s hilarious disregard for other people’s feelings as she begs her parents not to isolate her. Hannah’s mother explains that although Hannah graduated three years ago, she hasn’t had a single job since then and she wants to motivate her. Hannah expresses her complaints to her friends about how unfair they are.^[4]

6 regina george

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more iconic teen movie character than Regina George (Rachel McAdams). With her bottle blonde hair, teeny tiny skirt, and incredibly resourceful repertoire, it’s no wonder she’s the queen bee. mean girls.

Many teen movies try to humanize the “mean girl” characters, showing that cruelty is often caused by insecurity and fear. Regina George is completely inhuman. She’s terrible for being terrible.

mean girls There are many famous quotes in “, but Regina’s line stands out as one of the best. Two things immediately come to her mind: “You loser, go shopping” and “Stop trying to make ‘fetch’ happen.” These both show Regina’s brutal speaking style and go a long way in showing how shrewd and ferocious yet hilarious the teenage girl is, even to her closest friends. I am.

Perhaps she deserved to be hit by a bus.^[5]

Five lindsay bruce

There are no members of the Bluth family. arrested development Someone who isn’t terrible. Unless you think flirting with your cousin is a terrible thing, except for George Michael. That’s kind of what it is…but not morally.

Lindsay Bruce (Portia de Rossi) is the adopted daughter of George Sr. and Lucille Bruce and was raised as Michael’s “twin sister”. From the beginning, her main problem is that she almost completely ignores her daughter Maeby. Her Lindsay is incredibly self-centered, from not knowing her age to completely forgetting to pick her up from school. She admits that she married only to anger her mother, not to mention her hostile feelings towards her husband.

But Lindsay is an interesting case. Mostly because she believes in her heart that she is doing the right thing. When called upon, she worries about her own misdeeds, and although she is a terrible mother and wife, she is not as terrible as others on this list.^[6]

Four jenna maroney

Unlike many other shows on this list, 30 locks Not all of them revolve around a group of horrible people. 30 In this TV show about the cast and crew of a comedy show at Rockefeller Center, everyone in the cast does bad things, but you’re generally supposed to sympathize with them.

Not so Jenna Maroney, another role played by actress Jane Krakowski.

This selfish narcissist will stop at nothing to become the center of everything. Take her one of her best lines when she finds a pregnancy test in the trash. “Oh no…someone will get more attention than me!”

She’s a bad friend and an even worse colleague. But hey, can she act! And she’ll do anything to make sure she’s the only one on the show. In one episode, when she learns that one of her co-stars can sing, she hires someone to punch him in the throat. In another article, she threatens to kill herself if someone stops listening to her.

As much as we hate to admit it, I think we’ve all had moments like Jenna’s.^[7]

3 Elaine Benes

Although she does not appear in the pilot episode, Elaine Benes seinfeld has become just as iconic as her male co-stars.

Elaine is the only female character in “The Nothing Show.” This can be dangerous territory for a TV show produced by men, but rest assured, Elaine is incredibly funny. Her femininity and good looks are often part of the plot, such as the episode where she and Jerry sleep together and George becomes infatuated with her.

Although she doesn’t shine comedically in these particular episodes, there are plenty of others where Julia Louis-Dreyfus stands out. When she stops for candy on the way to visit her boyfriend in the emergency room, when she kidnaps a dog, or when she ruins a small business that doesn’t cater to her exact needs (poor Soup Who can forget the Nazis?

And of course, you wouldn’t expect a TV dance scene to be as iconic as her bad dance moves.^[8]

2 Selina Meyer

It’s a testament to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ comedic talent that two of her characters are included on this list.

One of the most clever political comedies of the last decade. Veep Louis-Dreyfus stars as Selina Meyer, Vice President of the United States. She resembles Elaine Benes, but she has very strong powers.

Her insults are legendary. In one of the early seasons, when told that the staff was trying to use a presidential aide for intelligence purposes, she responded: “It’s like trying to use a croissant as a dildo. It doesn’t work and it creates chaos.”

savage.

Meyer only cares about himself, to the detriment of the entire country. Even the most sensitive issues are not off-limits. Mr. Meyer would quickly change his views and alliances to get closer to the president.

The most painful example of this is when she allows her assistant Gary to be sent to prison. Gary is an avid follower of Meyer and is probably the closest person she would call her friend. But when the time comes, when someone has to pay for the Meyer Fund’s illegal financial practices, she doesn’t let the world think badly about her, she blames her poor Gary.^[9]

1 dee reynolds

Kaitlin Olson played Dee Reynolds in It’s always sunny in Philadelphia You will always have a special place in my heart. In the first few episodes of the show, which first aired in 2005, Dee became the gang’s moral compass. As the only woman in the series, she certainly stands out among the three men who make racist assumptions about her black friend in her first episode.

She begs them to respect him. isn’t it. While the show portrays the men as crazy and awful, including a white man dropping the “n-word” within minutes, Dee is a voice of reason. She continues this way for the first few episodes of the first season.

But if you watch more recent episodes (yes, the show is still airing!), you’ll notice that Dee is just as bad as the boys, if not more so. Her latest schemes include tricking a stripper into shoving junk in her daughter’s face, holding a fake baby funeral, and getting her sober friends drunk just because they were bored.

So what happened between the first episode and these episodes? So was Caitlin Olsson. It’s always sunny ‘ was created by men playing the three main characters, but they have since admitted that they didn’t know how to write the female characters. Olson suggested not writing a female character. They just write interesting things. At her suggestion, Dee stopped being the “voice of reason” that she was supposed to be and became one of the funniest parts of this already hysterical show.^[10]
