When you&#39;re sitting through the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-tv-shows-to-binge-watch/ranker-tv">best TV shows to speed&nbsp;watch</a>, it&rsquo;s natural to suspend disbelief. So when a TV character obviously can&#39;t afford the beautiful home they live in, you may not notice at first.&nbsp;After all, you&rsquo;re basically taking a short break from&nbsp;real life to enjoy the drama of&nbsp;fictional characters, so you don&rsquo;t necessary expect their lives to be 100% realistic. There are plenty of cases where characters are obviously bad at their jobs, such as <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/movie-tv-characters-who-are-terrible-writers/jacob-shelton">fictional TV writers who are terrible at writing</a>,&nbsp;and no one bats an eye.

But sometimes, screenwriters and creators&nbsp;push things way too far, especially when it comes to practical stuff like explaining how characters can manage to live in high-cost neighborhoods and buy expensive clothes when they&rsquo;re supposed to be struggling with cash. How can Carrie Bradshaw afford to live in Manhattan while all she does is write a weekly column, for crying out loud? It can be frustrating to watch a TV character&nbsp;who is&nbsp;supposed to be poor sport a designer jacket while living in a spacious loft in Brooklyn like it&rsquo;s no big deal. TV creators sometimes come up with a gimmick that explains their lavish lifestyle, which usually involves a spectacular apartment being rent controlled (as if).

Then check out this list and vote up the TV characters who shouldn&#39;t be able to afford their lifestyles.

Yet, somehow, they can afford palatial digs in the most expensive American cities.Sure, TV shows and movies are a welcome form of escapism.&nbsp;Perhaps&nbsp;viewers aren't meant to scrutinize the details quite so closely. Who, after all, would want to watch&nbsp;casts of beautiful actors cavort in flea-infested dumps?

Film and television is full of characters who are supposed to be amazing writers, but are they actually good at what they do? In almost every film and television show, audiences are inundated with characters who are supposedly good writers but are clearly terrible. Sometimes their work is bad, and sometimes they don’t even work. But why are there so many bad writers in television? You can chalk it up to bad writers writing bad writers, or to put it another way, the actual writer of the piece is trying to insert themselves into their film under the guise of the voice of their generation. If you’re not sure whether or not you’ve witnessed this trope, just watch anything adapted from a Charles Bukowski novel or <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/why-the-gilmore-girls-revival-sucked/chase-christy">literally every episode of Gilmore Girls</a>.<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-writer-characters-in-film/ranker-film">Writers in movies are always bad</a>. Always. It seems like it’s impossible for a writer in a piece of media to actually be a good writer. Most of the time they’re too verbose, laying on the adjectives and metaphors like some kind of person that lays things on other things. The only times that awful writers in TV don’t have suspect writing is when audiences don’t even see their writing. That’s almost worse than terrible writers in movies making everyone hear their terrible prose (or read it -&nbsp;which is what no one wants to do while they’re watching something). Keep reading to see if your favorite fictional author made it on the list.&nbsp;If they did, then go ahead and pen a severe missive and mail it in to the comments.&nbsp;

Let&#39;s take a few minutes to&nbsp;give a shoutout to all the awkward people out there. While some characters on TV are all about being outgoing, these characters tend to constantly find themselves in uncomfortable situations. Whether they&rsquo;re introverts, quiet, or simply unaware of social norms, they&rsquo;re known for always saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Ross Geller from Friends&nbsp;probably quickly comes to mind for an awkward character list (perhaps telling a story about how the scent is added to gas), or the hilarious Gary Walsh from&nbsp;Veep. But who are the best awkward TV characters? Larry David from&nbsp;Curb Your Enthusiasm&nbsp;and Maurice Moss from the&nbsp;IT Crowd&nbsp;are also great contenders. To make things really easy, you could just look no further than the characters on&nbsp;Awkward&nbsp;- it&#39;s literally built right into the title!&nbsp;The cast of the MTV teen show features several socially awkward characters, but, come on, they&#39;re in high school!&nbsp;

From clumsiness to social ineptitude, this list includes all of the extremely awkward characters on TV. Whether you think super smart Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory is the most awkward or believe that distinction should go to little miss Tina Belcher from Bob&rsquo;s Burgers, make your voice heard by voting up your favorite fictional awkward characters on TV.
