annoying kid characters in movies before
we begin we published new content every

this list we’re looking at child
characters from popular films who make
us want to seek out alternate
entertainment we’re gonna die whether
intentional or not these characters have
a knack for getting under your skin with
their grating personalities extreme
precociousness or just generally
annoying quirks number 10 gray and Zack
Mitchell Jurassic world how big is the
island big even on an island filled with
dinosaurs boys will be boys their
parents forced the two brothers to go on
a trip by themselves to Jurassic world
with the hope that they’ll form a bond
it works but at what cost to the viewers
zach is your stereotypical teenage boy
who’s only interested in girls and
spends most of his time trying to
pretend that little brother gray does
not exist before the indominus rex
gray the less offensive of the brothers
is just a little too enthusiastic to
their credit the brothers do improve as
Jurassic world progresses but the first
half is a grind
what would you say that number 9
Alex O’Connell The Mummy Returns doesn’t
love and know-it-all kid Alex O’Connell
is the son of Evelyn and Rick the couple
at the center of the mummy franchise the
young rascal inherited his mother’s love
for history and his father’s sense of
adventuring a combination that proves to
be anything but a blessing protect the
Cobb because I’m Kate doesn’t mean I’m
stupid while alex is definitely
intelligent he is painstakingly aware of
that fact and tries his darndest to
ensure that everyone knows it obnoxious
to a fault alex is also a magnet for
trouble forcing his parents to
constantly come to his rescue number 8
Amanda lemon and Alyssa Calloway it
takes two for better or worse the Olsen
twins are synonymous with the 90s while
mary-kate and Ashley have decent comedic
timing their ticket to fame stemmed from
their biological similarities and an
ability to say things in tandem it takes
two is not the worst comedy but after a
while the humor of seeing the Olsen
twins switch roles becomes an exercise
and diminishing returns before falling
[Music]
Amanda and Elissa are depicted as being
wise beyond their years as they
effortlessly manipulate the painfully
brain-dead adults who somehow exist in
this world number seven Samuel Vanek the
babadook the ocean credit where credit
is due
Noah Wiseman did a fantastic job as a
Milly of an ex troublesome son Samuel is
unpredictable going on multiple
at one point the eccentric boy causes a
car accident that very well could have
killed both him and his mother amelia is
still grieving over her husband’s recent
death and Sam’s erratic behavior makes a
bad situation a hundred times worse
while Sam may show signs of being on the
autism spectrum the film doesn’t make
that explicit opting instead to leave it
open to viewer interpretation again
we’ve got to applaud the performance
that Wiseman delivered but it was a
number six jr. Healey and Trixie young
the problem child franchise problem
child to exists to remind audiences that
it can always get worse jr. Healy is the
original problem child a kids so
terrifying that he has to dress up as
the devil for Halloween as anything else
would have made for a significant
improvement yet somehow the sequel
doubled up on the annoyance focusing on
an attempt by jr. Healy and Trixie young
to out evil each other really scared I’m
being threatened by the tidy-bowl girl
these brats are loud obnoxious and
borderline psychotic their default
reaction to most obstacles is seemingly
to throw a firecracker and hope for the
best
or rather worst number five Draco Malfoy
the Harry Potter franchise yes
dangerous at all you spiteful beyond
belief this arrogant wizard is the
poster child for modern bullies acted to
perfection by tom Felton Draco Malfoy
was born into admittedly intense world
but that hardly excuses his egotistical
behavior hailing from a pureblood family
Draco never missed an opportunity to put
down the rest of the students with
Hermione offering an easy target due to
her muggle-born heritage and Harry due
to his orphaned savior status skip
Potter after six movies of his
narcissistic and snobbish personality
the extremely punchable Malfoy finally
starts to see the errors of his ways
Dudley Dursley gives him a run for his
money but there’s just so much more of
Draco to hate one follower about this
number for Rachael Ferrier War of the
okay wanna go inside okay between this
little girl and her older brother Robbie
war of the world served as a fantastic
cautionary tale highlighting the
benefits of safe sex Dakota Fanning is a
charming actress but nobody could have
Rachel’s defining personality trait is
her ability to loudly scream for an
absurdly long time something that gets
old almost immediately when not trying
to make our ears bleed
this young girl proves to be somewhat of
a know-it-all talking more like an adult
than a child she’s got two settings and
it’s hard to say which is worse this is
what I need you to do is is I just need
you to hold it together for me okay when
you start screaming like that it you
know I can’t right now
number three Anakin Skywalker Star Wars
Episode one The Phantom Menace are you
an angel poor Jake Lloyd his movie
career could not have gotten off to a
worse start the prequel trilogy
established how Anakin Skywalker turned
into Darth Vader a process that proved
far more annoying than anyone could have
expected apparently one of the most
feared characters of all time started as
a whiny and insufferable little kid who
loved to say the word yippee
while lloyd hardly turns in an
oscar-worthy performance and the
character arguably gets worse in the
sequels anakin feels like the world’s
most annoying little brother in the
Phantom Menace child prodigy characters
are hard to pull off successfully
and sadly high midi-chlorian count be
damned Hennigan did not make the grade
what does that got to do with anything
number two Veruca Salt Willy Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and
haruka so this spoiled girl turned
annoying into an art form
with the exception of the angelic
Charlie the golden ticket winners are
all rather awful the worst of the bunch
however is Veruca Salt
a girl who desperately needs someone to
tell her no the personification of greed
Veruca genuinely believes that she
deserves the world on a plate hey daddy
I went to number lumber I want you to
get me and I’m pulling for rides away if
this arrogant child asks for
she not only expects to get it but also
that she’ll be pushed to the front of
the line I went to squirrel get me one
of those squirrels I want one
thankfully much like the viewers Willy
Wonka and the Oompa Loompas were not
impressed and gave the little girl and
her father a lesson inappropriate
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions doing
it wrong Lots like ours are my life just
get out we know you still believe in big
fat creeper I don’t know what you’re
talking about you sure about that so so
number one short round Indiana Jones and
the Temple of Doom let’s start with the
positives for a child
short round is quite brave and that’s
about it in Temple of Doom this walking
stereotype acts as Indy sidekick because
babysitting in archaeology go hand in
hand short rounds over-the-top accent is
greeting his high-pitched voice is
painful and his cringe-worthy dialogue
tends to undercut some of the film’s
of course the blame should not be placed
on Jonathan ka Kwan as he turned in a
fun performance for The Goonies the next
year luckily for short round Kate
Capshaw’s Willy attracted most of the
negative press but as far as annoying
kid characters go he is number one do
