* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
** Lotta Hart, a tabloid photographer with a Southern accent who appears in ''four'' cases in the series, much to the dismay of her haters. It doesn't help that whenever she appears, she takes some sort of photo of something involving the crime, and these photos are always horribly misleading. Even in-universe she is seen as irritating; Edgeworth straight up avoids her during AAI 1-5 because he doesn't want to talk to her, and when Franziska sees her again AAI 2-4, [[TakeThatScrappy she immediately attacks her with her whip before she's said hardly anything.]]
** From ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'', Zak Gramarye. Most players agree that is both a despicable human being and nonsensically and inconsistently written (at times he's written as if he and [[spoiler:Shadi Smith]] aren't even the same person). Most of his fans only like him ironically, for [[Webcomic/{{Hiimdaisy}} the sheer comedic value there is in shining a light on how heartless his actions were]].
** Many fans consider Mike Meekins to be the worst of the worst, due in no small part that he talks through an ear-screeching megaphone every few seconds. Thankfully, he ditched the megaphone in ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations'', but many fans still hate him for being obnoxious and stupid.
** Zinc Lablanc II, the [[NoIndoorVoice loud]] [[JerkAss obnoxious]] art dealer from ''Investigations'' who constantly sticks his nose into the investigation. Despised so much that players were ''wishing'' he was the murderer just so he can be arrested or totally not minding if his fall ended in with his death (and neither does any of the characters but Gumshoe).
** "Director Hotti", the [[DirtyOldMan creepy "doctor"]] at Hotti Clinic. He's creepily obsessed with his female patients, even going so far as to steal Ini's photo and hit on a wounded Franziska. He doesn't even serve much of a purpose beyond giving you the photo in 2-2; in 2-4 he's just there to piss off Franziska and be creepy.
** Florent L'Belle -- the ArcVillain of ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies Dual Destinies]]'', Case 2 -- gets viewed as this by the fandom. The primary reason is that he keeps coming across as StupidEvil, and an inferior SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute for Redd White from the original ''Ace Attorney''. L'Belle has a ludicrously complex plan involving murder, blackmail, and ensuring that a town merger goes through... and it's all to get unrestricted access to one room so that he can steal a gold ingot inside of said room. What makes L'Belle's plan so silly is that Phineas Filch managed to accomplish the same thing L'Belle spent months and massive amounts of resources planning to do, as shown in the same case. And Filch did it with a plan he came up with in ten minutes because he was bored and had nothing else to do. Worse, L'Belle wants to steal the gold because he's in a lot of debt, but he could have easily paid off his debts by selling his beauty products, which he wastes even more money advertising on TV just to pad his massive ego by letting everyone know he has something they can't have. While complicated murder plots are nothing new for ''Ace Attorney'', the fact that [[CutLexLuthorACheck there was a much easier solution available]] along with an obnoxious personality and in-universe lampshading about how [[ComplexityAddiction insanely complicated his plan was]] means that few people liked L'Belle as an antagonist.
** Most of the characters in the Berry Big Circus not named Acro, the victim, Max, [[VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth Sōta Sarushiro (Simon Keyes)]], or Regina Berry could qualify (though the last one is more of a BaseBreakingCharacter due to her naivety bordering on abject stupidity, and the first one is controversial [[spoiler:due to his murder plot and the reasons behind it]]), but special mention goes to [=Trilo/Ben=] and Moe who are regarded as some of the most grating characters for different reasons. Moe has hated for his NonstandardCharacterDesign along with the fact '''Phoenix''' gets penalized if he gets off-tangent in his testimony (not to mention the reason this happens: He simply won't stop laughing at his own stupid jokes, and the Judge's so tired of it he'll take it out on Phoenix if he hears that damn laugh one more time. The man won't stop being a terrible clown for ''one minute'' even if it means ruining the entire case). Then we get to Trilo/Ben who is the most livid and lewd witness, beats up his partner, has a crush on a 16 year old girl, treats the defense like crap, and every time you try to present evidence to him he goes into a stuttering wreck which for some people, hits a little too close to home. All in all, the entirety of [[ThatOneLevel Turnabout Big Top]] becomes one of the franchise's worst cases due to this cast of awful performers that won't drop the act even in court, no matter how much it ruins things for everyone in the courtroom and no matter how utterly unfunny their act is in the first place, and who have zero respect for the entire process and everyone involved (especially you) to begin with.
** In ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice Spirit of Justice]]'', we have Bucky Whet for being an useless drunk defendant who only redeems himself at the end of Case 4, with a bizarre design (not ugly per se but just very weird for a 20 year old young man) constantly vomits in his mouth (to the point it becomes an unfunny gag) and faints, speaks extremely slurred, and gets people's names wrong particularly Athena. He's not ''nearly'' this terrible when he's sober, but that is unfortunately uncommon.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VisualNovel/MonsterProm'':
** Violet is widely reviled by players for her toxic, both literally and figuratively, relationship with Tate. Although it's PlayedForLaughs, both the characters and fanbase find her genuinely aggravating for bragging about controlling Tate with her spores and feeding off his nutrients while shaming any single monster who has the misfortune of crossing their path. Some players even want Tate to be a romanceable option just so they can free him from her it's that bad.
** Camp Counselor Flodge hasn't exactly been a hit with fans. In a franchise centered around hooking up with hot monsters, an unromanceable middle aged reptile with an UncannyValley design isn't what most are here for. And unlike the charmingly ditzy [[KindheartedSimpleton Coach]] or the hilariously out of touch [[LoveToHate Miss Weaving,]] his entire shtick is being a chameleon who is bad at disguises which is comparatively unfunny to the antics the rest of the cast gets up to.
