1 Jar Jar Binks, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
<p>The most hated thing to come out of a computer until Windows Vista. he's got a pivotal role in his first film, a pitiful cameo in his last.</p> 563 1375
2 Gina Garrett (Rosie O'Donnell), Another Stakeout (1993)
<p>When it comes to buddy-cop flicks, three's a crowd! She joins Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez but doesn't end with a ménage à trois.</p> 317 921
3 Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone), Batman & Robin (1997)
<p>She shows up to spoil Batman and Robin's coming-out-of-the-cave moment. At least she had the sense to arrive with only 20 minutes left.</p> 294 1106
4 Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
<p>Capshaw was supposed to serve as a romantic interest for Indy. Apparently, nobody but the director noticed.</p> 289 1201

<p>Schneider's yapper Fergie is (not surprisingly) one judge never to star in a syndicated courtroom show.</p> 197 869
6 Ruby Rhod (Chris Tucker), The Fifth Element (1997)
<p>Tucker proves it's possible for TV talk shows to get even worse. It's not surprising he lives in a future dystopia where man has given up hope.</p> 185 1101
7 Devon Butler (Norman D. Golden II), Cop and ½ (1993)
<p>The half to Burt Reynolds's titular cop, this sidekick will bust a cap in your ass, because, frankly, he can't aim much higher.</p> 183 721
8 Farva (Kevin Heffernan), Super Troopers (2001)
<p>Another fat, obnoxious sidekick who nobody likes. He's liable to get too drunk, vomit, and betray you all in the same night.</p> -8 812
9 Leo Getz (Joe Pesci), Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)
<p>In this Lethal Weapon pic, Riggs and Murtaugh put up with this loudmouth for reasons that can't be explained.</p> -28 1010
10 Steve Stifler (Seann William Scott), American Pie (1999)
<p>The ultimate fifth wheel, he's crude, rude, and delights in the roadblocks in a young virgin's journey to the promised land.</p> -43 969
11 Matt Farrell (Justin Long), Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
<p>Long pitches computers on TV, and, as an '08 movie fad, "The Wisecracking Hacker" winds up in a movie where he can't shut up about them.</p> -79 917
12 Richard (David Spade), Tommy Boy (1995)
<p>Talk about pathetic. Today, Spade's exploiting Farley's memory in commercials using scenes from the movie.</p> -94 906
13 John Connor (Edward Furlong), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
<p>It's hard to believe that this whiny 10-year-old will go on to become the man who will go on to save the world.</p> -107 1067
14 David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum), Independence Day (1996)
<p>He's just what every society on the brink of destruction needs: a paranoid know-it-all computer geek with marital issues.</p> -221 1025

16 Gollum (Andy Serkis), The Lord of the Rings Series
<p>What's not to love about a sidekick who whines, complains, and pines for a magical ring so badly that he might murder you for it?</p> -259 1153
17 Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), Harry Potter Series
<p>Harry Potter supplies the courage. Hermione supplies the brains. Ron supplies lots of whimpering and bonehead decisions.</p> -269 1127
18 Sam (Sean Astin), The Lord of the Rings Series
<p>Sam gets a bit too jealous anytime the flick's other annoying sidekick starts getting a little too close to his master.</p> -331 1143
19 Benjamin "Bubba" Blue (Mykelti Williamson), Forrest Gump (1994)
<p>Sure, Bubba's charming at first, but how long can you talk about shrimp? A sidekick needs at least one other topic he can discuss!</p> -411 1045
20 C-3P0 (Anthony Daniels), Star Wars (1977)
<p>As a sidekick to sidekick R2-D2, the bar is not set high, but the infamous gold robot's fear of just about everything is unbearable.</p> -529 1273
