I'll have you know there's no ....
Fucking Claptrap......
Naaaaw, I love him! He's just a misunderstood ADHD robot without friends. Cut him some slack!
Did you play his sidequest with getting people to come to his birthday party in Borderlands 2?
I actually named my home server claptrap. My desktop is chappie (from the movie of the same name, with another anthro robot).
I did, I played all the borderlands until the third (which I just couldn't put up with) multiple times and he just annoyed the piss out of me constantly xD

Hey listen!
Link! Link! LINK! LISTEN!
Watch out!
Navi from Ocarina of Time.
Literally the Clippy of Zelda.
"Hey! Listen!"
How about shut the fuck up you stupid firefly from hell?
Whenever I replay OOT I never have a problem with Navi. She rarely hard interrupts, usually just a short tone and flashing C button that goes away after a few seconds. The voice lines only trigger if you press the button to call her, in most cases the hints she gives are genuinely helpful, and stays out of your way for the vast majority of the game.
Fi from skyward sword though..... Far worse because she does interrupt gameplay, often repeats what the last dialogue box just fucking told you, and takes several dialogue boxes to tell you what Navi would have taken one to do. I'm glad they significantly overhauled her interactions in the HD release but I'm still going to be hesitant to play that game again
Fi is SO ANNOYING! Skyward Sword has some really excellent bits but Fi is just way too heavy handed.

Bloody Paimon. (Genshin Impact)
And this is coming from someone who still logs on frequently. All I want is to mute her.
Paimon has that obnoxious Elmo complex. Sing-songy PLUS can't speak in the first person.
Paimon was a main reason I stopped playing.

Mr clippy. Word was so much more fun without him, word isn't very fun, without Mr clippy it might've been goty
What?? Faith might be the only interesting character in the whole FC series. I don't think you understand the character's backstory at all, TBH. The original Faith was the Seeds' sister who died young, so the brothers kidnap young women in the cult, drug them (I forget what the name of the drug is in the game), and convince them that they're Faith Seed. Eventually that woman dies so they replace her with another. It's horribly tragic and, in my opinion, is leagues above the standard character writing of the Far Cry games
Yeah, I was puzzled when OP listed Faith as most annoying; I don't think they paid attention to the story.
I found her more interesting than many other Far Cry antagonists, let alone other video games characters.
That's a tricky one, but if I had to pick, maybe Ashley from Mass Effect. She's very insubordinate and disrespectful towards you, I hate her speciesism and (fittingly enough) she's a Bible thumping Christian, whenever she opens her mouth I wish I could eject her through the airlock. It doesn't help that you can't deny her joining the team or even kick her out, safe to say that whenever I get to Virmire I always kill her without even thinking twice.
I'm replaying the Arkham series and I'd forgotten that Ashley's VA plays Oracle. I couldn't figure out why I was getting annoyed every time she called Batman until I made that connection.

The stupid talking book in It Takes Two. Practically destroyed any plot momentum the game had and that's if it wasn't beating you over the head with painfully obvious relationship advice.
I think the girl was even more annoying and creepy as fuck to boot.
That game should be called Children Ruin Everything.

I see none of you guys has played Resident Evil 4, otherwise we would be shouting "ASHLEY!" all together as one being.
I forgot about Ashley. Literally lost just about all my ammo in one section trying to save her.
SHAUUUUUN
SHAAAUUUUUUN

Navi from one of the Zelda games. “Hey!”
The Owl from OOT as well
Oh man, "did you want to hear this again?" Every single fucking time I would be mashing a to get through his dialog and press yes by accident. Every time...
Ahaha! Yes. So annoying!
I seem to recall navi being mostly skippable. But the owl having to say everything. But you would still button mash to try and skip, then end up having to see it all again
Literally every single character in the newest Pokemon game. The entire narrative is so god damned insufferable. I‘ll never buy another Pokemon game again unless it’s like Arceus and has less narrative.
Pokemon didn't grow up with it's player base. They try and keep the storylines Kid friendly, when I'd guess 70%+ of players are adults.
Black & White probably had the most "Adult" narratives of the series, delving into the slavery/forced labor a bit. I'd love to see the games delve into some more adult themes, but I doubt it will happen.

Easily the rival in the early Pokémon games. Being so annoyingly cocky and full of themselves just to get wiped by my party's first slot Pokémon every single time... Bruh, just get a grip on reality, would you?
The way they were infuriating motivated the player and makes it satisfying when you beat them, so being annoying was absolutely the right choice. The last Pokemon games I played were on DS where your "rivals" were nice and supportive and non-annoying and they were boring and I would have fastforwarded them if I could have.
That shithead skeleton from Undertale. If I an ever forced to play that game, it's all genocide all day, idc that it's the hardest mode. That game looks like ass and its fans are insufferable, but that fucking little skeleton deserves to be ground up and snorted.

Wyll and Gale from BG3 were both suuuuuuper boring companions.
I had a bit of an inverse experience between the two. My gut reaction to Wyll was good, but his story made me dislike him, but Gale I disliked off the bat but came to appreciate after a bit of dialogue.
Wyll's act 3 content feels so stupid, where he suddenly starts ego tripping and becomes less and less likeable. "The blade of avernus" my ass

Handler. Everyone's shovelling coal into the furnace to keep from freezing to death, she's making roasted yams, and then eats them in front of everyone who is collapsed from exhaustion.
Everytime I kill the monster, she's like, "Yay! We did it!"
There's just so many characters whose entire presence makes me go "please shut the fuck up" that it's hard to pick just one. Like yeah pretty much anybody would sell Preston Garvey to Satan for half a donut, but there are just so many other annoying characters...
