Main Community Characters Ranked By Likability

Abed Nadir, played by Danny Pudi, is a fan-favorite character. One could make a case for Abed being the most lovable character on the entire show, but he isn't always the most likable. He has a couple of negative characteristics that make him a much more complex and interesting character while also making him slightly less easy to identify with. Most prominently, Abed can be quite selfish at times, acting in his interest rather than those of his friends. He also has a bit of an inflated ego, which is tied most directly to his various filmmaking endeavors.

One documentary project sees Abed taking center stage and adopting a Christ-like persona. This leaves him at perhaps his most unlikable as his ego balloons to new heights, and he speaks down to everyone around him. Other filmmaking projects that he subjects his friends to involve Abed manipulating them to achieve the narrative he is after. An example of this is seen early in the show's run when he coerces Jeff and Britta into pretending to be his parents. 

Abed is also once caught tracking the menstrual cycles of the female study group members without their knowledge or consent. While he explains that he began doing this as an accident, it remains an egregious breach of privacy, to say the least. Abed remains sympathetic through it all, however, as his difficulty with social cues is tied directly to his Asperger's, which is obviously beyond his control. Beyond that, his friendship with Troy is genuinely sweet and can even serve as the show's emotional heart at times.
