1. Jeremy Clarkson
Famous for: Driving cars, poor fashion, stereotypical racism.

Clarkson is easily my first choice of 'most hated Briton'. He tries so hard to make his jokes look unscripted, but is ultimately nothing more than a simple stereotype generating machine. Think of a country. Germany? Reel out jokes about blonde hair, blue eyes, obedience to authority, sausages etc etc. How tiresome. Let's give him a newspaper column.

2. Lady GaGa
Famous for: Revealing outfits, succession of wanky pop hits.

Take a plain looking woman, dye her hair blonde, paste her in makeup and drench her in designer slutty outfits. Hooray, you've got the next pop sensation! I often wonder if people think Lady Gaga sits at home behind a synthesiser, comprising catchy electro beats and penning snappy lyrics. Or whether they realise she doesn't have an iota of musical talent and sells her by-the-numbers records because she's 'conventionally pretty'.

3. Noel Fielding
Famous for: The Mighty Boosh, ridiculous outfits

Noel Fielding's followers are so blindly in love with the funnyman, that he doesn't even have to make jokes any more maintain his status. All he does now is synthesise quirky sentences that don't even nearly make sense. You could probably make a Fielding Joke Generatorâ„¢ using the following equation:

"You're just afraid of the (*insert synonym for 'cosmic'*) (*insert species of primate/kitchen appliance*) and their propensity for (*insert esoteric genre of music/flamboyant outfit*)"

I demand better.

4. Will Ferrell
Famous for: Pretending he's still 21.

Nothing takes the piss more than a cut-and-paste Ferrell hit. What facet of your dynamic acting range are you exploring this time, Ferrell? Are you perhaps going to play an extremely deluded professional (with hilarious results!). Or maybe you're treating us all to ANOTHER hilarious cameo! We are spoiled.

5. Boris Johnson
Famous for: Unconventional haircut.

Boris Johnson was elected as London Mayor for the sole reason that he has unkempt hair. He has been in the job for a whole year and the only thing he has done so far is outlaw drinking on the tube. Only... nobody is enforcing the rule, no arrests have been made as a result and you've got absolutely nothing else to show for a year's efforts. In the mean time he's scrapped many decent sounding proposals purely because they were the brainchild of his predecessor, not him. BUT HE HAZ FUNNY HAIR LOLZ.

6. Gary Lineker
Famous for: Scoring goals for England.

No doubt about it, Lineker was a gifted forward who managed to step up for his country on many occasions. That doesn't mean he has a personality though. He is without a doubt, one of the most boring television personalities of recent times, yet he still enjoys repeated employment at the expense of Match of the Day fans everywhere. He is an awful presenter, he cannot improvise nor seemingly form an opinion on his own. Why is he still employed!

7. Katy Perry
Famous for: Ripping off Pink.

No matter what anyone says, Katy Perry looks like Roy Keane with a pair of tits and a wig. And I just happen to think that's a frightening prospect.

8. Seth Rogen
Famous for: Pretending he's still 21.

Anyone who churns out like 10 identical films a year is obviously spreading their creative talent a little bit thin. Plastering Rogen's massive gormless face across 7 foot billboards in every train station in England is a sure fire way to guarantee I associate him with feelings of sheer misery and disappointment.

9. Jack Black
Famous for: Being fat and making fart jokes.

Jack Black is exactly the same as Ferrell and Rogen, only he seems to have been around for an extra ten years or so. Tenacious D is a permanent stain on his career and my young adult life. Out of interest, if you've ever laughed at a Tenacious D song then I recommend death by ship propeller. Just look at his picture collection on listal, there's not a single one you don't want to punch your monitor for.

10. Joss Whedon
Famous for: Being king of the nerds.

Joss Whedon is to television programmes as Stephenie Meyer is to the world of literature. I once saw a T-shirt that read: "Joss Whedon is my God!". Well let me tell you something, here is an example of God writing dialogue:
"With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men"

And here is an example of Whedon's dialogue:
"So, you've been seeing a guy, but you don't know what he looks like. Okay, this is a puzzle. No, wait, I'm good at these. Does it involve a midget and a block of ice?"

Case closed.

11. Rihanna
Famous for: Being beaten up.

Never has a mainstream singer so insultingly flaunted the auto-tuner. Her voice is almost entirely animatronic now. Nobody bats an eyelid over the fact that she has ripped off Michael Jackson, Soft Cell, New Order, Maroon 5, Dragostea din tei and GarageBand software over the last couple of years. Instead they're quite content to listen to a singer who can't actually sing or write music.

Wow, perfect list! Cannot say I've ever imagined Roy Keane with a pair of tits and a wig myself!

Where is Paris Hilton?

I've never heard of half the people on your list. Consider me lucky/American?

Rihanna is working the idol effect. It has a limited range and normally wears off in a few years.

All of these make perfect sense, except...oddly enough, Lady Gaga.

If she is famous for her looks then there is seriously something wrong with the men in the world because her face is absolutely hideous! The only reason (that I can see) for her outrageous costumes is to draw all attention away from her nose and mashed together face.

In her defense though, I did actually see something about her that said she writes her own material (shockingly!) and to be even more ironic, I have just discovered on her wiki page (whilst trying to back up my bold statement above) that she used to write lyrics for Britney Spears and the Pussycat Dolls before compiling her debut album! It seems her fuglyness has kept her away from fame and that a few outrageous costumes were the answer all along.

"Out of interest, if you've ever laughed at a Tenacious D song then I recommend death by ship propeller."
Oh, I feel so delighted that someone finally agree that Tenacious D is such a failure! But I must admit, that's something sad about being Jack Black... so I cannot really hate him. He's just... a wanna-be-teenager-again-guy.

I was gonna vote for you, but then a saw Joss Whedon on the list.
Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 22 17:59
Thanx for the list.
Hating is fun!
:)

Thanks guys, have to say I'd decline a vote from a Joss Whedon fan anyway.
Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 23 10:09
Funny list! personally I'd have had Chris Brown on this instead of Rihanna, & added Paris Hilton & Miley Cyrus!
Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 23 10:43
So... Nomather what these guys will do, you will hate it? That's pretty narrow minded.
Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 23 12:38
Not just these guys, Gotenberg, but YOU TOO!

"I was gonna vote for you, but then a saw Joss Whedon on the list."

yeah same thing, but then I saw Seth Rogen, Jack Black and Will Ferrell on the list. Well not that I care much fore Black or Ferrell - but Rogen is one of the best comedian actors alive. And Tenacious D is a kick-ass band.

It's almost like you guys fall into the 'everyone else admires' part of this list, thus providing the reason it was made. Whod've thought!?
Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at Sep 1 13:49
lady gaga is totally totally thrash, ugly and fucked up. (though her songs are not that bad...)

There are some proper northswanes replying to this list. I don't know how you deal with it GA.

Man, I just hate these guys!

Each of the following I've noticed receiving some sort of ludicrous and undeserved praise from people I know in real life and the media in general. It's unbearable that as a race we've become all too happy to embrace mediocrity.
