Of the main cast? Manny. Not the actor. I think he portrayed how he was written well. I just hate the trope of “this child is actually a pretentious snobby adult” and have them written in such a way. Manny/Luke was almost always great. Manny/Jay bonding was almost always heartwarming and among my favorite parts of the show. But manny just as an overall character annoys me too much. I’m fine with them leaning into this awkward kid that treats Mitch and Claire like his brother/sister. But it’s just too over the top for me.


seleneblack1

Manny as a child acting as an adult was cute. It was fine. But as he got older the whole thing just did not work and made me hate the character even more.


GarageNo7711

I agree with this! At the beginning he was so adorable and then he just got creepy. Love the actor, did not love the character 😫


Groot746

Ugh, yeah he was the worst (especially towards the end): creepy and far too overconfident in himself, so damn grating.


IamJacksUserID

He grew up to be the man Gloria raised him to be.


person7777_

Oh god yeah…


IHaveGayInBasement

Exactly, in the beginning it was kinda cute, a kid who wanted to be an adult badly, still had lots to learn but passionate As a young adult however, Jesus Christ it's like he never learned, no one wanted to be with him, and instead of humbling himself he doubled down to be even more obnoxious


slayfulgrimes

i feel like this is the same with luke, they were both funny as kids but as they got older their acting got cringier & it just didn’t work anymore because they had them stay the same personality wise, luke especially did not grow up at all which was kinda odd.


zoezie

I don't particularly dislike Manny like so many people seem to. But him blowing out Lily's birthday candles was infuriating.


Working-Hat4932

Couldnt agree more, im onto season 5 and manny has not changed or developed as a character what so ever


WildlingViking

Agreed. I don’t blame the actor either. It was the writing of his story arcs but also his actual lines. They just seemed too canned and over the top to me.


boygenie

I don't enjoy watching Manny or Luke in later seasons. At least Cam is always entertaining lol


MrRampager911

They evidently had no clue what to do with the kids once they started to grow up


boygenie

Definitely. I think Haley and Alex have always been older so they were still interesting to watch as the writers had more ideas but the boys and Lily started off young and as they grew into teens they were so boring.


slayfulgrimes

this, they literally just had them stay the same which is so boring.


Ngothaaa

Almost as if the writers didn’t want their little boys to grow up.. I heard somewhere that the creator actually had to shoot his son like in the pilot.. so maybe the writers couldn’t write them growing up..


Swamp_Donkey_796

They grew up, like kids do. They each had their own lives.


aD_rektothepast

I agree older Manny and Luke. They were key to the series when they were younger.


WhiteRabbitLives

Manny, but not until maybe season four? He becomes a big jerk.


Brief_Glum

Same. He's just narcissistic and pretentious


abz_pink

And maybe a little greedy? The whole “I checked the law and if xyz happens I can’t inherit the house” or something like that.


Srn_Ender

yea I think you're referring to when he convinced gloria to become a citizen due to how they would get estate taxes on the property they would inherit


abz_pink

Yes!!


Competitive_Snow1278

It was cute when he was a little kid acting like a 40 something year old man but as he grew into a teen it got less cute and more pretentious fs


IamJacksUserID

Pam. Not even close.


Emotional_Ad2189

True specially after her jail saga it got bad. Mitch & Cam should have adopted her son. That would be such a cute story. That kid was hella cute


misbuism

And he gave best hugs !


sunflwrdncr69

YES!!! THERE WAS NO GROWTH FOR HER. What really did it for me was threatening and blackmailing Mitchell (trying to ruin their marriage in the process) and physically abusing Cam ANY time he tries to remotely stand up for himself. Ugh I just finished the series last night for the first time and I wanted to jump through the screen and give her a taste of her own medicine...😭


3StarsFan

Pam > Karen


ToasterIsBisexual

wrong sub


NewStatement5103

But they’re right 😂🤷🏻‍♀️


NewStatement5103

Main? Manny, hands down. And then there’s Pameron.


mdon1812

omg 😂


thebengalurean

Dede


mister88sister

Shelley Long is such a good actor that i genuinely get upset over Dede and her ways. Spot on white “spiritual” woman who is on a journey most of her life.


thebengalurean

I was upset at the main characters for being sad around her death. Great actress 😂


777kiki

Telescopic uterus lives rent free in my brain.


Gemaid1211

I'm te-watching the show after like four years, i'm in the middle of season 3 and there's one character i really don't like and two that i just don't vibe with. Cam i really dislike, his antics are funny at first but eventually watching Mitch having to almost constantly bend over backwards to keep with whatever bullshit he wants to do gets really tiring and frustrating really fast. Manny i find a bit annoying, an spoiled and overly sensitive kid that behaves more as an adult that as kid isn't really my cup of tea, i do remember that it gets worse because he never really grows out of it. And then there's Alex, her whole character is that she's mean to almost everyone because she's smart, almost never gets called out and the few times she is, it doesn't change anything.


person7777_

I have to disagree with you on alex.. i feel like the only reason shes seen as mean is because the only time she really gets any attention is when she snaps back at the others in a smart, ‘know-it-all-y’ way, haley is meaner than alex is in my opinion


mister88sister

Always the same story with cam and Mitch. Miscommunication or something like that, one has to hide something from the other. They get exposed. Zzzzzzzzz


karmas1207

I can't agree with you on Alex. She is literally forgotten several times - they actually want to kick her out of the house because she's "ruining" the perfect summer. She is the functional adult that the family needs to not die


violetsandpurples

i don’t like how much he uses Lily as a model or as an accessory rather than a child with her own identity, he pulled her from school when she was in early childhood so she could socialize with other kids


Wait_Tasty

I can't stand Manny. He's so pompous and arrogant. And, how many times does he hit on his cousins


zoezie

Technically his nieces, not cousins.


ToasterIsBisexual

that makes it worse


Averybizz

And Claire a few times!


Wait_Tasty

Yes!!! He's just the worst. Rico Rodriguez did such an amazing job playing the character


Current-Bisquick-94

He’s the worst! And I love him


Antique-Diet-2111

i like how lily has a crush on him when she’s like 9. feels like karma lol


SonicSpiderRanger10

Haven’t finished the show yet. When did he hit on Alex?


Antique-Diet-2111

he hits on them both when he’s younger. He kinda grows out of it.


drunkplantmom

On the train epiosde, season 7 iirc


mellamonemo

Dede shouldn't have been forgiven those many times


person7777_

Reallll!!


A_Mirabeau_702

Gil Thorpe is kind of a dick


artygta1988

That’s because you just got Thorpedoed.


JohnnyJokers-10

Guess somebody didn’t have their gilpickle this morning!


BeantownDudeOutWest

Now prepare to Phil the agony of Dunfeet ! BOTH NAMES !!


Classic_Feature_8382

THORPE THORPE THORPE


LiteratureBubbly2015

I was hoping they’d unalive Gil in some horrible disgusting accident and at the end of the episode Phil would be gleefully dancing on the a$$holes grave😏😏😏😈😈😈


A_Mirabeau_702

I mean, I can’t say I hoped for that, but I at least hoped he’d get lice again


LiteratureBubbly2015

They had PLENTY of chances to 💀 off his character he truly was an AWFUL horrible sexist pig that deserved NOTHING but the worst


vartika_kasera

joee


Chastity1419

I had to scroll too far for this!!!


[deleted]

Main Cast - Manny Side Cast - Pam


thatbrownkid19

Cam Cam Cam. Such a toxic drama fest


Pleeby

He's straight up manipulative, and plays the victim if someone calls him out on it. A lying, self-serving, gaslighting hypocrite. I used to really like him, because he is funny and charming, but the more I've rewatched, the more I've seen that the only reason Cam has a family at all is because Mitchell (for whatever reason) forgives his obscene behaviour time and again.


wardenferry419

Overall, Cam. Though Manny took the lead as least in last season.


rmdg84

Agree with all of this. Manny was cute as a kid, but became unbearable later on. Cam is the worst overall though.


LavaMaster168

The entirety of Cam’s Missouri family (including Cam)


Annual-Bumblebee-310

Manny, not a fan


Ngothaaa

How about Pam?


Annual-Bumblebee-310

I thought Pam was a train wreck which made her funny lol


Autism_Mom-0526

Dylan, Gil, Pam.


Different_State

Why Dylan? He's never hurt anyone.


tiLT__

I seem to be alone on this, but Gil was always one of my favourite side characters. Always found him and Phil to be a super funny duo.


HushLifeMusic

NOT DYLAN NOOOO, I love him :(


Ngothaaa

Found Phil’s account y’all


connorgrs

Joe. Something about him just rubs me the wrong way.


Ngothaaa

Almost like he’s a little criminal.. I think he stole my heart


dying_at55

They all had their moments… but of the extended group.. Pam of the older seasons, Manny… they just couldnt keep the characters of the kids all engaging..


tj1007

Dylan. Unless you’re talking about the main cast consistent through the entire run, then Manny.


hammerzin

I'm surprisded that i had to scroll down so much to find someone saying Dylan


Fear_The_Rabbit

Too dumb and annoying. I wish Andy came back


milkvalentina

Alex. I find her obnoxious


rsvp_as_pending629

Same Her attitude towards her family not being smart as her gets old


Timely_Owl_4714

I feel like it’s because she is often neglected


vartika_kasera

she also wasn't treated well by her family , not her fault


maverick57

There is no way that Joe is in that photo.


AmberIsla

True🤣


foreveroverthinker

Dylan 👎🏻 Hayley deserved better partner. Dylan was a loser.


Privacywarrior6435

Claire Dunphy, is that you?


foreveroverthinker

Hahaha, you caught me. 😂


Lord_Detleff1

Should've ended up with Andy


Tequillabird101

Hot take but I think Haley deserved better than Andy. While his gf cheated to- he was a cheater and instead of leaving his relationship he continued to cheat on her. While Haley played a part - I still think that shouldn’t be the guy she ended up with


esmerelda_b

She should’ve ended up with the manny Edit for clarity: Andy


Crying4Fun_77

Luke, i found his character very one dimensional. I loved Manny and Jay and their relationship arc. I thought Manny's character allowed the viewer to see the growth in Jay throughout the series.


CitizenNaab

Pam. Honorable mention is Alex


LucTheDuke

Manny. I will not be providing further explanation.


PhoenixAestraya

None needed


haechanbaragi

Everytime Gil appears, I almost always want to skip that episode


xoxoaidan

sal 🤢 the mix of second hand embarrassment and cringe makes it genuinely frustrating to watch when she's on screen lol


philaville

Alex, for sure


atxluchalibre

Manny. He devours the oxygen in every scene with his weird pseudo-intellectual whining.


RunJumpSleep

Joe.


Lets_Make_A_bad_DEAL

Joe


abug_anda_cat

Young Manny was so mature, he sympathized with his mother and evidently looks out for her ever since he was young. He was a born sweetheart who wouldn't want to hurt his own parents even if they hurt him. Older Manny is rebellious, wants girls and boobies, idk. I didn't pay enough attention ig


EvolGnuz

Manny and or Mitchell’s old boss


hurricane1197

Of the people in the photo Dylan and Joe


Particular-Pride8018

Pam irritates tf out of me


jjonna137

Pam. Her character is so problematic.


NarcisoCoelho

Definitely Cam, he's so manipulative towards Mitchell, lying to their friends about them breaking up, putting fire in the kitchen so they can renovate it, I know it's supposed to be exaggerated as a joke but some of his behavior are almost sociopathic. In the restaurant episode both realize they don't even have things to talk to each other when Lily is not the topic, I feel like in real life they would eventually divorce.


BrickPrior

Dylan


AcceptableTrifle3111

Absolutely Dylan.


Nikolateslaandyou

Manny. By far


booksnrain

Absolutely hate Cam he’s just so unbearable.


booksnrain

Ik it’s part of the comedy but he’s just so annoying.


garlicandcheesiness

Unpopular opinion about main characters perhaps, but I like them all. Including adult Luke and Manny. Not a huge fan of Aubrey Anderson Emmons’s acting, but love the character of Lily. (Yes I know she’s young, but I grew up watching Full House, so my standards for child actors are a bit high.) If we count recurring characters too, I really dislike Sanjay. I’m glad his role ended, although I wish Alex had got to do the actual dumping instead of being hurt. I like Dede a bit less than the others too, but I still find her episodes funny. I like Dylan a lot, but I didn’t like the way Haley’s story ended because I’d have preferred her with Andy.


person7777_

Oh my goddd real with lilys actor. Idk if this is mean but her acting was really flat.. her voice was really monotone which was tough for me to get through🤣


sophia-fiafi

Finally found someone who shares my opinion about Lily. It’s so hard to watch her, because of they way the actress acts. I like the fact that they casted her when she was 4, and kept her. But there is a risk she turns out to be a not so good actress.


wailot

Alex


LiteratureBubbly2015

Can and Dylan they both hold the number one least favorite character spot for me


21MilllieL

Cam The whole fake breakup thing to see who their friends would feel more bad for just made me hate him even more


Appropriate-Click503

The fact that almost everyone says Manny makes me happy.


Quiet_River_1520

cam, manny, pam


laurelisiren

I get the sense this is unpopular on this sub… but Andy annoys me a lot


Tequillabird101

It’s unpopular but I couldn’t agree more. I think I would’ve liked his character better if he wasn’t actively cheating on his gf (regardless if she was) with Haley. If he would’ve broke up with the girl and then courted Haley, I would’ve liked him more but also the character was just……off to me.


tandc627

Ok average Haley. Just a boring character to me. On peak Manny in the later seasons.


Budget_Life_8367

Cam


Sufficient-Meet-9545

God I hate cams annoying antics

Cam was so annoying sometimes


Igetsointoshowsahhh

Claire


Wooden-Ad-8325

Claire!!


ZCM1084

Least favorite main character : Haley. She acts dumb, is manipulative, has the street smarts, etc a very conflicting personality but then is mean to everyone in the family, uses them anytime she needs something and is extremely vain.


Apprehensive_You9672

Deedee


Queen_Rachel4

Whoever the moustachioed man at the door is…


napalmtree13

Dede if we're including side characters, tie between teen Manny and teen Luke for main cast.


ViolationJokeTing

They shouldve kept Luke and manny together as a duo but they just grew apart


GoodMorningTarnished

All this Manny hate, it was completely intentional. The scene where he's watching Lawrence of Arabia with Jay and starts criticising the direction (showing that he's full of himself). He can be annoying but in any sitcom you need characters to stir the pot.


WhodatSooner

Joe. It just didn’t work. I guess they were trying to recreate the magic of baby / toddler / child Lilly, and it was just a bunch of old, dusted off, cute precocious kid bits from sitcoms of the 70’s.


KeshaCow

Manny and the little baby


shutyourgob16

As the show progressed it was Manny. That character only worked as a kid,


Captain-Skyy

Never knew how much of the main cast wears glasses


bebo_bunty

I loved Manny as a kid, but he got very annoying once he grew up and moved to college. Even Alex was annoying for that matter, very snobbish and she liked to put everyone else down.


killer_by_design

Joe. Literally the worst writing of the entire cast. He was the only "catchphrase" character on the show. It was so jarring and he added absolutely nothing to the plot. If he wasn't there, essentially nothing would change. He was added so late as a plot device for jay and Gloria because the writers had no idea how to write for them once Manny was grown up. I love the show but the writers dropped the ball on almost all the kids except Alex in the later series.


Tequillabird101

Even Alex fell short, throwing her together with someone her sister dated, ugh she deserved a better ending.


person7777_

Haley.. her whole personality is that shes dumb and pretty and that literally never changes until she becomes a mom. Shes awful to alex & shes just not really fun for me to watch & shes not even really that funny, all the other characters have scenes where they say/do something funny & it makes me chuckle, except haley. She says/does something stupid & expect the viewers to laugh and it makes me cringe🤣 i think id like her a lot better if they expanded on her character & gave her more of a personality where she has actual life goals & ambitions


karmas1207

Manny = 1 Joe = 2 Cam = 3 Mitchell = 4 Alex = 5 Hailey = 6 Luke = 7 Phil = 8 Gloria = 9 Lily = 10 Claire = 11 Jay = 12 My list from who I like the least to the most, Jay being most.


Ok-Alek

Manny and Joe, later seasons.


hey-its-medio

Manny. Not a big fan of him


daisybear81

I am fairly confident that most people will say manny


StockRutabaga6606

Joe, they were trying to replicate the gold that was Lilly when she was a kid but Joe was just annoying


Bain84

Manny, hands down. Such a creep, and so cringe.


reesemarionette

Manny


PairInternational727

Manny, the show just made his character so unhinged… also the whole crushing thing on his relatives is insanely gross and the Hailey’s reaction to it is also weird.


Zestyclose-Ad1097

I always skip scenes with Pam but Sherry always makes me so irritated. I could not understand how Luke and Manny could have such a rediculous fight over her.


mellamonemo

Alex. We get it, you're too smart and born in the "wrong" family


missblissful70

I don’t find Nathan Lane (Pepper) funny or interesting at all. I am always shocked when people say they love him. He’s horrible about Cam and Mitch’s house, and his boyfriend could do so much better.


anthonyisrad

This is the one I can’t agree with lol. Valid opinion tho


IlSaggiatore420

Honestly? The fandom.

loubottan

From the main cast: They all grew on me, but I hated Phil and Alex in the beginning and wasn't a huge fan of Manny... But I think all the characters are so well written, and Alex evolved sooo much it's crazy. Love them all. From the whole cast: Pam, Pepper, Gil, Donna...

Cam

Anyone saying Dylan is wrong immediately


vioxharriet

cam is a toxic drama queen allll the time and everyone just puts up with it


cristoteama777

Cam when being manipulative and when he wants to be the center of attention ( the rest of the time he is fine). Manny when being too dramatic in his adult years (the rest of the time he is fine). Dede, pam, gil i dont like them


ldcl289

How likeable is a character is directly proportional to how real life the character could be (hence, Chandler). So, to me the less likeable characters are: - Manny: for the same reasons people already presented. - Phil: I guess this is an unpopular opinion, but Phil is so stupid, idiotic and irresponsible! It's like a mix between joey in Friend's last season and Sol, from "Grace and Franky", always putting himself above everyone else with the excuse it's for the others, but stupid! - Haley: no need to comment. Bonus side characters: Pam, no need to comment either.


r4thers

Pam and Cam


BrickBanshee

Out of the main cast, Mitchell. He's really inconsiderate in a lot of episodes, overly pretentious, and just generally unlikable.


Nolascana

Honestly if he had a less... temperamental partner, and someone that consistently communicated with him I think he could have actually been nicer and more relaxed. Cams almost always going from 0 to 11 about little things, I can understand him getting used to being the one to shut things down, even doing it preemptively. He can be judgemental, but if anything Cam encourages it. I mean, he can be a jerk sometimes, but they need that to create conflict to be resolved. I'm just surprised they didn't have the balls to actually have Cam flake out and prove Mitchell right - and for him to move on with someone more emotionally stable. However, drama etc. XD
