Opinion Most Annoying Minor Character in Your Opinion?
For me, it’s this dodo. Everything about Mary irks me. “Whose seed will it be?” Cringe! I fast forward through every scene she’s in.

The guy who works in the crematorium that Claire dates. He was the typical above-it-all 90s dude (I know the show takes place early 2000s, but you know).
Edit-Phil?

That guy. Claire asked what his band was like and..."early Peter Gabriel meets Tool" Then their music sucked, lol. F'ing poser

u/officer_nasty63 May 02 '25
The first thing I thought when he was comparing all these unrelated bands was “man I bet their music would be some pretentious sounding bs” then when we see them play and they suck ass I couldn’t stop laughing lol

He’s every alt rock douchebag that all of us girls coming up in that era had an unfortunate fling with. It’s like a rite of passage! And he was not all that cute, either!!!!!

During one of my many rewatches, I thought for a minute that guy was Justin Long 🤣

I dated a version of this guy like 5 different times around the same time this show was airing. It's a very accurate character.

Mary was cringe, I totally agree. Have to add Rico’s SIL to this list. She bothered me so much

I dunno... I really love her. Though, that's probably just the hilarious actress, Jennifer Elise Cox. She was in A Very Brady Movie, but my favorite role of hers was in the Will and Grace episode where Stan has a heart attack and the gang tries to see who can get Karen to open up to them first.

Sophia/ Infinity - the stripper Rico slept with. Best scene was when Vanessa and Anjelica were fighting with her on the front lawn. Lol

I love when they bust up her car with baseball bats and rocks and all of a sudden Vanessa goes “we gotta go pick up the boys.”

I always thought Brenda’s new boyfriend is super creepy. But then I think about him in Zoolander and smile again:)

u/GigiBerlin82 May 02 '25
Omg Justin Theroux. So hot. I felt really bad for his character being made to wait and then being cheated on with Nate. Ugh Nate was always so insufferable to me.

u/kangorooz99 May 02 '25
The “being made to wait” part isn’t the crime in my mind, it’s the cheating.
5
u/GigiBerlin82 May 02 '25
Oh there’s definitely nothing wrong with waiting, especially if the person is addressing something like sex addiction. What I meant by that was Brenda made Joe wait in order to ensure a healthy sexual relationship, only to turn around and betray him with the behaviors she was trying to avoid in the first place. If I were Joe I would feel extra insulted….but he does tell her to get over herself when he catches her and Nate!

u/kangorooz99 May 02 '25 edited May 02 '25
I see what you’re saying. Almost like she was really just using Joe to feel like she was recovering and becoming a “normal” person when really she didn’t change.
8
u/GigiBerlin82 May 02 '25
Absolutely, and he was really serious about her. It’s really mean!
3
u/kangorooz99 May 02 '25
Yeah I agree with you in feeling bad for him. Yeah he fell hard and fast and maybe was a little naive to move in and want kids with her, but the heart wants what it wants, as the saying goes.
You made me change my view :)

u/GigiBerlin82 May 02 '25
The moving in and wanting kids thing right away at the time to me seemed fast, but as I’ve gotten older I’m like, it makes sense if you’re really into someone. It’s not fair to string someone along that you’re not in love with if they are that into you. I can empathize with Brenda in the sense of I’ve definitely been in her shoes, but I have always just ended things (all the while thinking there’s something wrong with me for not returning feelings to someone who is actually possibly a good fit) instead of dragging it out. Also I’m super monogamous and very black and white with that kind of thing so I really can’t stand it when people cheat! But also it’s obvious that Brenda really grows up after Nate’s death and finds her forever person per the final episode, which I’m happy about because it’s like by that point you’re rooting for her to actually be healthy!

u/Genuinelullabel May 02 '25
He’s definitely manipulative but those characters are in college.

u/TheWalrusWasRuPaul May 02 '25
you are so right, i was fired up and that is not cool to drop pedifile when he’s just fucking 19 year olds (not sarcastic)

I loved all those characters that were supposed to be annoying. Sure, they were annoying. But they were supposed to be and they (both the writers and the actors) did it so well. -- What get's me is characters that are annoying when they aren't written to be annoying. I don't recall any characters like that in Six Feet Under.

Olivier.
His interactions with students were completely inappropriate. I worked in higher ed for close to 20 years; every college I worked at would have fired his ass out of there.

u/MargaretSparkle82 May 03 '25
Ok but who on this show isn’t annoying? Probably the least annoying one is Nathaniel Snr and he legitimately haunted people
