1.
One of the potential slayers in the final season, Kennedy was loud, overly aggressive, and annoying. She seemed to be trying too hard to be cool as well.
2.
Dawn is Buffy's little sister who was created by monks and inserted into the world to hide the key that would restore Glory's power. Although a very interesting concept, the actual execution of the character was terrible. Dawn ended up being pouty, childish, and annoying more than anything else.
Comments:
Everything about Dawn is annoying. Just showing her in scenes makes them worse. She should have went to live with her dad after season 5.
Its in season 6 and 7 that Dawn becomes more annoying. And to think that everyone in Buffy doesn't remember the events from season 1,2,3 and 4 correctly due to the creating of a little sister. Once Dawn was introduced Continuity was thrown out the window and the show lost quite a lot of its quality
3.
Buffy's one real shot at having a (relatively) normal relationship, but he had a hard time handling Buffy's destiney (and the super-strength that came with it). A macho man who wasn't really that interesting and didn't get that Buffy needed a supernatural, being supernatural herself.

This guy is someone that should have died after his story arc with Spike came to an end. However his real moment that he stunk up the screen was in the season finale where he wasted screen time with what attempted to be a heartwarming moment with Faith however the execution was terrible as no one really felt or cared for the character in a season finale when people were curious as to what would happen with the character they have watched and loved for 7 seasons as opposed to a 2 dimensional new guy with a cruddy backstory
5.
Basically a take-off on Frankenstein, Adam was one of the villains from Season 4. Part human, part demon, and part robot, Adam was a big, clunky killing machine who failed to be either interesting or scary.

Buffy should not have featured this guy for so many reasons. Buffy had created its own modern hip and relevant vampires such as Angel and Spike, there was no reason to get desperate and steal this old classic character and stick him in the Buffy timeline and then worse not even kill him off completely. How is Dracula around at the same time as Buffy? Does this make the Dracula novel a non-fiction in the Buffyverse? And even still didn't Van Helsing kill dracula anyway? Bottom line this character is lame and should never have been introduced to a series that had its own identity that was better than any other Vampire series out there on its own account

The villain on Season 5, Glory (or Glorificus) was a spoiled, petulant god who had been stripped of much of her power and was trying to get it back. The character was frenetic, whiny, and very difficult to watch.

A shy witch who eventually becomes Willow's girlfriend, Tara was one of the most annoying characters ever created in the Joss Whedon universe. In the beginning, she stuttered and cowered, but even when she developed a little more confidence, she was not particularly believable or endearing.

Oh lord did I hate Joyce, I'm glad shes on here but she really should be higher on the list.
Everything she ever did until season 5 was self-obsessed and hate filled for her daughter, I always got the feeling she was blaming Buffy for her marriage imploding and the way she warped everything in season 3 to make her the victim made me very angry.
