11 Funny Characters Who Were Absolute Hell to Portray
A big part of enjoying a comedy is seeing that the people on screen are having a blast. Especially a big ol’ ensemble like Anchorman or Bridesmaids. It really helps us delve into the world they’ve created. Like, hmm… Maybe they are all great friends who joke around and shit in the street. Ever since gag reels, behind-the-scenes footage, and even “Making Of” documentaries started peeling the curtain back, we’ve wanted to know more and more about the process. And sadly, sometimes we should just put some mustard on the sausage instead of peeking our naive little heads into the factory.
Entertainment news loves spilling the beans on nightmare shoots. Which actors hated each other, or which production was a toxic nightmare for all involved.

So, our apologies if you’ll never look at these comedies the same way again, but these 12 comedic characters were actually an utter nightmare to portray.
