Jar Jar top pain by far far

By GARY MENEELY

STAR Wars alien Jar Jar Binks has been voted the most annoying character in film history.

The elastic-tongued creature, from The Phantom Menace, beat Eddie Murphy’s Donkey from Shrek into second place.

Jar Jar’s high-pitched voice — provided by little-known actor Ahmed Best — stuck in fans minds.

Comic Jim Carrey had FOUR characters in the top 20. His idiotic Lloyd Christmas from Dumb And Dumber was third.

Carrey’s portrayal of Stanley Ipkiss in The Mask was eighth, his title role in The Cable Guy came 11th and The Grinch was 17th.

Rowan Atkinson’s Mr Bean was the highest British entry at No4, while Sasha Baron Cohen’s Ali G was 19th.

Nearly 5,000 film fans were quizzed in the poll for DVD movie game Scene It?

Spokeswoman Gylla Kelly said: “Everyone has a favourite movie character — as well as a list of those they find annoying.

“When people play the game they usually like to debate over which characters have made their mark on the movie scene.”

Barbra Streisand in Yentl is the most annoying character of all time, and not just in movies but in the entire history of human storytelling, including the storytelling of Neanderthal man and all homonid species.

This would be followed by:
(not necessarily in this order)

Barbra Streisand in Prince of Tides
Barbra Streisand in The Way we Were
Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl
Barbra Streisand in The Owl and the Pussycat
Barbra Streisand in whatever...

For real... I like Eddie Murphy as Donkey, and Jim Carrey as the Grinch, and definitely Andy S as Gollum.

I second that.
