You’ll often hear negative references to annoying characters such as Jar-Jar Binks (Star Wars). I want to make my sidekick very annoying (although he has a redemption arc). Is that bad?

I suppose there is a difference between making him annoying to other characters and making him annoying to readers. But I kind of want to make him annoying to my readers as well –or at least feel the MC’s pain of having to put up with him. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
