Anti-heroes that are just jerks and don't seem to have any redeeming qualities. Actually, just in general "heroes" that are awful people and yet the creator wants us to root for.
Nice guys who we are supposed to see as progressive and decent just for being a decent human being most of the time. I'm not going to praise a character for not assaulting a drunk (or spelled) character (I'm looking at you, Xander Harris). The fact that you even though about it is not a good thing, and you don't deserve praise for doing what any normal human being should do.
Depressed villains who don't really want to be villains or just don't care about anything and are miserable. This rarely works. The only time it has really worked for me is Vader hating himself more than anything else. But most other characters like this are just annoying.
