how obsessive is to obsessive I just I
have things a certain way welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10
OCD characters in movies and TV will you
at least go with me to the restroom here
so you can open the door and flush the
urinal for this list we’re looking at
the big and small screen characters that
seem to have prominently visible
obsessive compulsive disorder issues
these characters OCD behaviors are much
more than mere tendencies and are more
like necessities that need to be done
repeatedly however they don’t
necessarily have to have been diagnosed
with OCD to qualify call set number 10
Kevin Casey scrubs it’s okay you can say
your doctor with pretty severe OCD it’s
not a secret I know this doctor’s
obsessive compulsive disorder is as
pronounced as his medical successes and
would probably put fellow doctor Elliot
Reid to shame you know I couldn’t have
survived in medicine if I didn’t embrace
my OCD and since those compulsive anyway
you know I read the same text books over
and over I yeah I went to the procedures
over and over I imagine every worst-case
scenario over and over and over
constantly rereading his medical
journals he is a wizard instantly
diagnosing patients less charmingly
Kevin will still be washing his hands
two hours after performing surgery needs
to enter and exit a building three times
and starts each day by saying Bink and
touching everything and everyone in his
first patients room pretty much think
now your patients on this wing have all
been complaining about odd noises if
it’s Bank I can explain it isn’t me stop
saying Bink despite his quirks
Kevin is a good-hearted talented surgeon
that you can’t help but cheer for the
guy’s been using up all my soap yeah I
get OCD
really my grandpa had that every morning
you take a gym sock flit up with nickels
and just finished
that’s OCD right number nine Monica
Geller friends are you through that yeah
sorry the swallowing slowed me down
Monica is by far the most obsessively
clean out of all her friends going so
far as to claim that Monica clean is
above and beyond
Health Department clean he told me about
your apartment and well I couldn’t sleep
thinking about it so uh would it be okay
if I cleaned it
now while this mother hen is certainly a
great friend she can be hard to handle
at times some of her quirks include her
tendencies to label the things she owns
to clean other’s apartments and to clean
cleaning supplies while obsessive might
not be a strong enough word her beyond
meticulously routine ways are still
endearing to us if only there were a
smaller one to clean this one number 8
Bob Wiley what about Bob I have problems
in this Frank Oz comedy bob is an
obsessive-compulsive psychiatric patient
with a lot of phobias I worry about
diseases so I have trouble touching
things in public places it’s almost
impossible I have a real big problem
moving after his first session with dr.
Leo Marvin Bob becomes infatuated with
the psychiatrist and ends up following
Leo and his family to their vacation
home Bob we agreed that I’m cold
your coming here is unbelievably
inappropriate when horrible thing leads
to another with Leo subjecting Bob to
alleged death therapy Bob overcoming his
phobias and then becoming a psychologist
himself York a therapy cured me Yugi
haha what are you doing here
Bob’s unfortunate situations and his
easily likable personality make him one
of the most grounded characters on this
list
despite his manipulative and
narcissistic behavior baby step through
the office
baby steps out the door number seven dr.
Hannibal Lecter Hannibal oh hey beat
these kircheis but this is a private
exit for my patients Oh dr. Lecter who
would have thought that a cannibalistic
serial killer would be OCD and not just
about the way he eats people served with
a source of duxelle and oyster mushrooms
this forensic psychiatrist and keen
foodie is frequently shown arranging
things throughout each episode whether
in private or with others but reasonable
in certain circumstances this includes
adjusting pencils on desks making sure
books are evenly spaced and checking
that a cellphone is aligned correctly
with a desk corner for these characters
these quirks might be cute or endearing
but for Hannibal they just add to his
already creepy vibe and as this evening
has already proven it’s nice to have an
old friend for dinner
number six Felix Ungar The Odd Couple
Felix this is my apartment I make up the
bedtime look you don’t understand
Oscar I just want to be alone for a
while now you go to bed and I’m gonna
clean up no I have to clean up well I
can’t sleep with a room like this unlike
his laid-back and sloppy roommate Oscar
Madison Felix is obsessed with
cleanliness and is beyond neurotic I’ve
been sitting here breathing cleaning
food and ammonia for three hours Nature
didn’t intend for poker to be played
like that to further emphasize the
divide between these roommates we must
point out that Felix is a
detail-oriented news writer
whereas Oscar is a jock ish carefree
sports writer so if you knew you were
gonna be like why didn’t you call me
in this black comedy Felix obsesses over
the shortcomings of others though being
subjected to his polar opposite in Oscar
actually helps to slowly bring happiness
into Felix’s life I really think we’re
enjoying ourselves well they uh they
just don’t know what it’s like living
do they I’d be immensely grateful to you
Felix if you didn’t clean up just now
while Felix never really stops his OCD
tendencies he does become a lot easier
to stomach once he calms down a bit I
don’t think that two single men living
alone in a big 8 room apartment should
have a cleaner house than my mother
number 5 Adrian Monk monk not enough
stuffing in the spare I think there’s
something hidden in here this former San
Francisco Police Department homicide
detective was great at his job
that is until his wife was killed
following that tragedy his OCD was
amplified dramatically and forced him to
quit and only work as a consultant I
brush my teeth 12 times a day and I
floss every 90 minutes so you never went
to a dentist once while monk is still an
effective detective he constantly has to
contend with fears that range from the
more common like germs crowds and
heights to the more bizarre like milk
how afraid are you on a scale of 1 to 10
ha 10 he’ll also only drink one brand of
water while he isn’t necessarily the
best at defending himself we still love
to watch him try his best
number four Roy Waller matchstick men
I’ll be right with you sir this con
artist is stricken with a heightened
case of OCD and has his fair share of
phobias as well as the occasional
violent panic attack this is an
emergency hey buddy
ever heard of a lie have you ever been
dragged to the sidewalk and beat until
you passed blood after discovering he
has a fourteen-year-old daughter named
Angela
Roy’s happiness causes his phobias to
subside however Roy and Angela go
through a few ups and downs which sees
Roy learning the painful truth about his
current life and the people in it well
Angela
Roy honey daddy’s dead honey right now
okay okay
but fortunately his life ultimately
balances out as he learns to live with
himself and becomes who he wants to be
so I’m gonna see you on Tuesday well I
why I mean I have the meds
well I guess that’s your call okay take
care number three
Melvin you doll as good as it gets dr.
green how can you diagnose someone as an
obsessive-compulsive disorder and then
act as though I had some choice about
barging in this stay at home novelist
consistently turns out bestsellers as
likable as he is to the public though
the reality is that he’s a misanthropic
hermit extremely OCD and neurotically
superstitious a prime example of this is
his constant avoidance of stepping on
cracks in the pavement and considering
he lives in New York that’s kind of
tough
thud hey
one day melvin decides he wants to get
closer to a waitress named Carol but his
neurotic behavior distances him from her
and while he seems to ultimately get the
girl were still left wondering by films
and whether or not Melvin is completely
over his phobias and superstitions guess
that’s just as good as it gets
what if this is as good as it gets
number two Sheldon Cooper
the Big Bang Theory you know what this
means don’t you break out the red bull
it’s time to rock Mario old school
Sheldon is an overeducated theoretical
physicist and the roommate of longtime
friend Leonard Hofstadter
this genius earned his first PhD at 16
tried to provide nuclear powered
electricity to his hometown and does
well by his friends or at least he tries
oh don’t tell me you’re afraid of germs
not all germs
what’s the ones that will kill me the
same way I’m not afraid of all steak
knives it’s the ones that might be
plunged in my thorax he is also obsessed
with hygiene and has strict routines for
almost anything in his life
while he’s undoubtedly intellectually
brilliant he has a difficult time
grasping sarcasm what’s wrong with the
bathroom here pneumococcus streptococcus
staphylococcus and other assorted
caucuses and while his apparent
emotional disconnect from the rest of
the world and his attempts of trying to
ameliorate this make him an oddball we
can’t help but admire him all the same
is there a station coming up where I can
board your giggling train of thought
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
is doing and this closet and Renee told
me please consider professional help
market what the core Safari yeah
Owen Flanagan here here here here here
woman has obsessive-compulsive disorder
he says everything like five times
number one Howard Hughes the aviator I
don’t know if you remember me my name’s
Howard Hughes Howard Hughes may have
been a businessman a filmmaker and an
aviator but he was also excessively
neurotic had an over heightened case of
OCD and could get extremely jealous what
was that you just niggard no no as a boy
he was constantly afraid of his mother
dying from various diseases as an adult
things didn’t seem to change too much as
he grew increasingly paranoid show me
all the blueprints
show me all the blueprints show me all
the blueprints from old blueprint
examples his film counterpart taps the
phone and plants microphones to keep
track of his girlfriend Ava Gardner
he gets extremely upset and traumatized
when the FBI searches and tracks dirt
through his home and has even been found
washing his hands till they bleed he may
not have been the easiest person to
relate to on our list but he’s certainly
the most hard to forget the way of the
future
