In terms of personality:
Master Chief / John: The personality of a door. Had as much dialogue as Link, without the old-school reasons to back him up.
Vaan: It's been stated. Not because he is gay, but his voice is painful to listen to and the fact he stars in a FFgame movie with some interactive sections. Note to developers: Let the player do the cool stuff, not leave them to grind for the next cut scene.
Luke from the tales game while in the beginning. Although the game was awesome, he was just flat out annoying in the beginning. It was made worse by the lack of cliffs in the game available to lunge yourself off of.
In terms of design:
Every abomination from the Kingdom Hearts game. I could imagine it now.
Designer (Jokingly) says: Hey, let's make a game with Disney characters, but try to be serious. Then, let's make everyone have huge clown feet and play it off as our art direction. Then let's give the protagonist a symbolic (read: lame) weapon. I know, a key!
-pause-
Producer with no gaming sense: BRILLIANT!!
Probably more that didn't come to mind, but these will do.
Oh, almost forgot to mention The Leader. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNUNLh2YF9Q
