Top Ten Worst 24 Characters RANKED!
24 has some incredible characters that make it one of the best shows of all time! It also has some stinkers, though, so it's not perfectly unblemished. This article will talk about which of the 24 stinkers stink the absolute most. These ten characters are so abominable I almost wanted to perish from existence any time any of them were on screen. Now, without further ado, I, Brighton Nelson of The Reel Ranker, present to you today's article: Top Ten Worst 24 Characters RANKED!
10: Vice President Noah Daniels
Days Featured: Six & Seven
Outside of Season 4's John Keeler, Daniels is the most boring president the show has to offer. While many argue he is a better Commander-in-Chief than Wayne, that certainly doesn't make him the better character. Noah's whole betrayed romantic relationship and large-scale racist ideals are both just nails in the coffin that Daniels is not a great 24 character.
9: CTU Agent Curtis Manning
Days Featured: Four, Five, and Six
I don't despise Curtis, but I found him to be one of the show's most bland, wasted, and inconsequential characters. As Jack's junior agent, he feels like an uncharacterized cannon fodder, cover-firer who gets killed off at the most random time. It doesn't help his case that most of his limelight is found in what I believe to be the show's worst season: Season 4. Ultimately, I found Agent Manning to be one of the show's most offensively mediocre characters.
8: The Cougar
Featured Day: Two
Unlike many people, I actually enjoyed Kim's Season 2 subplot involving the girl she was babysitting. That is, everything but the part involving the weird guy and his stupid-arse cougars. What genius came up with such a plot? Eh, whatever. Regardless, The Cougar is a catalyst for this stupid subplot, and for that, the animal king of awful memeability and groan-inducement deserves a place on this list.
7: Sandra Palmer
Featured Day: Six
I liked the idea of what Sandra stood for—a sort of myopic look into the evils of racism toward those of Middle Eastern descent. Unfortunately, it barely went anywhere with this plotline—a plotline that could've been one of the most brilliant subplots of the show if it were executed well. Nevertheless, the poorly done job of this terrific idea made for a character that meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. Also, compared to her brothers, Sandra seeps stupidity. She also happens to be the most obnoxious and boring character this show ever conceived. Sandra sucks. That's that.
6: CTU Agent Chase Edmunds
Featured Day: Three
Yes. I picked a picture from 24: The Game. I have no regrets. That was his best appearance.
Chase is practically a barbarous bastard-and-a-half on overly lubricated monster truck wheels. Billy the Kid makes Chase look like a good guy! Just kidding; I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with an arduous arse-and-a-third like Kim Bauer, either. In reality, Chase was boring, and his drama gave me a headache. I wish he had taken the shot instead of that poor girl, Claudia Hernandez. He's so stupid. Chase? Chase some Cerberus scat in Tartarus, you bumbling buffoon.
5: Interim Director Alberta Green
Featured Day: One
There's very little that one can say about Alberta Green except that she's miserable and impossible to watch. In a way, kudos to the actress for making her hateable. In another way, I can't find her hateable in a good way; she's eternally insufferable, the imbecile. Alberta Green? More like all-but-a green-glop-of-garbage. Yeah, I admit my defeat on this one; my jokes suck. My brain's dysfunctional, dementing, and dastardly-damned by this fool of a tenacious took. Moving on.
4: CTU Director Ryan Chapelle
Days Featured: One, Two, and Three
The sole reason the shoddy Chapelle doesn't top the list of the show's most worrisomely woeful worst characters is that I felt immense pity for him when he was shot in cold blood, execution-style. Regardless, he certainly deserved it. Ryan Chapelle? More like Ryan Go-to-hell. Thanks for listening to my terrific Ted Talk.
3: Richard Heller
Featured Day: Four
Why on earth is the one gay character of this show such an insufferably ignorant arse? It's pathetic. The LGBTQIA+ community deserved better. This stupid shiz-show deserves no more discussion, nor will I use him to satisfy my self-imposed word count any longer. Alright, I'm kidding about the second half, but the first half was an absolute fact.
2: Arlo Glass
Featured Day: Eight
Within seventeen seconds of being on screen, Arlo felt like a disgusting woman objectifier with all the makings of a serial rapist and a sex offender-to-be. This guy's existence disgusted me beyond belief, and while some fiery feminists so boldly outrage about the most minor things and shout "patriarchy!" at every man they come across (or on the highest metaphorical rooftop of Mount Everest), this is one of the select few men that absolutely deserve the din of usually dim-witted folk like aforementioned. Arlo, men around the world are embarrassed by your actions and want Glass to disintegrate his temporal lobe until he not-so-temporarily falls into a comatose state of veggie-ness. Okay, that paragraph gave me anxiety; I'll take my propanolol now.
1: Janis Gold
Featured Day: Seven
Janis is literally oozing with the caricature of the piss-poor, neck-snapping stereotypical teacher's pet archetype. Her very existence wells up an abundance of acid in the very crevices and crannies of my throat, esophagus, thoracic cavity, and the rest of my eukaryotic existence. Janis Gold? There's a reason her name is associated with the two-faced god of trickery. She's two-faced, alright—obnoxious and more obnoxious. Some people are on the autistic spectrum, the Scoville spectrum of hot people, or the light spectrum of who can be the most zesty of the rainbow. But Janis? SHe's off-the-charts, brimming with obnoxious audacity. If the max of the chart is a 10, her tyrannical, tenaciously terribly-taxing, very vexatious vulgarity is reaching that of a googolplex-and-a-seventh of the chart. As John Adams would've said during the Gilded Age, Janis Gold is not golden but a gilded "crapulous mass." Easily the worst character of 24.
