i used to really hate jocks ,, but that was because my first experience with a jock was moose. yk ,, the really ugly and annoying mouse. but then i met teddy ,, and omg he is such a sweetheart !! he absolutely changed my opinion on jocks ,, i just love him sm ,, which led me to give jocks another chance. however ,, as much as i love marshal ,, the smug dialogue really rubs me the wrong way sometimes. i mean ,, all they talk about is themselves or fashion trends and it starts to bother me after a bit. thats just the way i think of it, idrk :]
Which Personality type for Villagers do you tend to not like

It depends on the game. "Befriending" Snooties in the GC port wasn't really worth the verbal abuse, though that can be said for Crankies, as well. Peppies were pretty obnoxious in that game, too, and I find them my least favorite in Wild World, for mostly the same reasons, albeit the fact that they don't randomly take what's in my pocket, and at least they act more like the friendly villagers they're supposed to be. And they're also a lot more annoying to talk to in City Folk because the Valspeak they had previously was accentuated, for some odd reason — it's more because of the localization, rather than the game itself, but it doesn't change the fact that a trait I wasn't particularly fond of to begin with was exaggerated.
I've nothing to say about NH — haven't played it, yet. I'd say Crankies in NL, just because of how uncharacteristically upbeat and positive they are — to the point that it makes me cringe a little bit; even then, I don't dislike them, and it doesn't bother me to the point of frustration, because sometimes, that kindness is welcoming. It's a bit irritating to see villagers acting out of their personality archetype by default, rather than gradually evolving from it, though.

I voted for Jock and Normal as my least favorite types (in ACNH primary), but they don't piss me off.
Normals just seem a little boring to me. I like that they're nice, but they also seem sad or grandmotherly a lot of the times.
Jocks are definitely the most one note personality. I would appreciate if they were just more of a male version of a Genki Girl / high energy.
Hoping for more villager personality in future games

Smug, noraml, and jock. Normal i hate because they ask too many dumb questions and they're very often to hear. Smug i hate because they flirt and jock well i don't remember of why but i knew i didn't like them for a reason. I still get the villagers with these personalities because i like their design.

Artistic, autistic, and just generally tired
I'd say Smug, but to me, the actual villager dialogue matters more then the personality type. I just can't stand actively rude villagers in general.
As an example of what I mean: I had two Smug villagers on my island, Crayola, at the same time once: O'Hare and Olaf. I was at a higher friendship level with Olaf, as he had been there longer: he was the random Campsite villager from the tutorial phase of the game for me. For reference: I must've been at least friendship level 4 with Olaf, while I was maybe at friendship level 2 with O'Hare. Olaf left, but O'Hare is still on my island. And for the record: they were both planned to be cycled out. My player character is supposed to look like me, of course, but for the sake of clarity: I'll refer to her as my character and use 3rd-person pronouns for her.
Now O'Hare I like, because his dialogue sounded (and still sounds) as if he was always happy to see me somehow. I frankly didn't catch the rudeness in the dialogue, but that could just be my autism diagnose talking. I dunno, he just felt more like he actually wanted to be around my player character. You know, like he'd want to talk to her more if he had the time. His dialogue always had the tone of 'yay, it's Melanie!' if my character talked to him: the text really felt like seeing my player character was a happy coincidence for him. I made it a thing to talk to him at least once a day. I don't really actively gift him, but he's just generally nice to have around. And I frankly don't mind seeing him all that much when there's a villager task to be done involving him. I often prioritize which villager is the next to be cycled out, and while he's definitely not a permanent resident... he's pretty low on the priority list at this point. There's just villagers I that want off my island more then him.
Olaf, on the other hand, always sounded like he only tolerated my player character at best: like it was always a pain to be around me. the tone of his dialogue was more like the 'Oh eww, it's her' kind of attitude that I've sadly had to grow accustomed to over the course of my life. You know, the kind of feeling you get when someone can't actively avoid you, but doesn't quite manage to fully hide the absolute disgust they feel when around you. They don't openly and vocally hate you, but they're darned well not hiding it well either. That's what Olaf was like: a walking flashback to those kind of people in my life. In real life, I always remind myself I'm under no obligation to put up with that, so I tend to have a 'live and let live' sort of attitude towards people like him. I don't actively start conversation if I don't have to, and if I do, then I do subtly let them know that being forced to interact with them isn't exactly a field day for me either. And according to my neurotypical friends: in no unclear social context terms either. So often, it's me who nopes out on the whole interacting with jerks thing. But if it's my island, then it's not me who has to do that this time.
Needless to say: when a Campsite villager arrived, I resetted until Olaf's name came up.
Most of my island rules to other players boil down to 'don't be a jerk', and that lowkey extends to the villagers as well. If I'm in charge of Crayola, then I do not tolerate overly rude behavior on it. No ifs and buts about it: you either treat people with basic respect, or you take the next boat out of here. In my opinion, behavior like Olaf's is generally unhelpful and just plain unnecessary. We all have people we don't like, but you don't initially see me act like that towards people like him! Like, when the autistic girl is better at generally being cordial to people then you are, then it might be time to re-evaluate your life decisions. Because that's just sad.

I have gripes for just about every personality (even cranky, my favorite one), but I would say I cannot stand the jocks. They're just so obnoxious and stupid. Snooties aren't even snooty in NH, and I think they're so uninteresting.

I HATE JOCKS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SINGLE BRAIN CELL. ALL THEY TALK ABOUT IS THEIR MUSCLES. LIKE BESTIE THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IN LIFE

I really don't like smug. I barely talk to the villagers in the first place, but them ? (The only smug i ever accept on my Island is Pietro, cuz' he's cute) un general i only keep and befriend the camping smug until i have all their reactions.
Lazy, Normal, Jock and Snooty, i have no love nor hate. Just take the ones i find cute.
Peppy are my favorite, i love their ultra beamy positive act. Always put me in a good mood.
And Cranky too, those grumpy dudes crack me up.

I find that both the jock and lazy dialogues in this game make them sound gross, whereas they didn't so much in other games. Jocks talking about sweat stains and Lazies talking about grease and sticky substances just makes them sound so icky. It's a pity, because I like my jock Poncho and my lazy Marty otherwise.

rest a while.
I wouldn’t say I had a least favorite? Over the years the dialogue has gotten pretty bland for the villagers, so after a while they all get exhausting to talk to.
I guess jock villagers even though Teddy is a favorite of mine. The talk of gym bores me.
Lazy and Normal has always been my go to.

Jock villagers. I mean do I even need to explain this? All they ever do is brag about their workouts and talk so much about their muscles.
Its so cringe whenever you hear them always talk about them. Whenever you talk to them they have to include the words "workout" and "muscle". This is why I don't have a single Jock villager on my island.
Another I cannot stand are the Lazy villagers. I mean my goodness I do not like how they are in New Horizons. All they ever talk about is Food and their "bug friends". Its like every sentence they have to mention food all the time. Just like Jock villagers they tend to brag about how they want to eat a lot and they want to be around bugs.

OK, it's giving Jealousy
I've never really connected with sisterly villagers. Its not that I dont like them, Ive just never really grown attached to one.

Smug and snooty are my least favorite in the game, probably because they’re also my least favorite in the real world.
Honestly, I thought I would HATE the cranky villagers but they’re one of my favorites. Under that tough exterior, they’ve got hearts of gold.
I also love the peppy and sisterly villagers since they perk me up when I’m down and have some funny dialogue.
The normal villagers are all right. They’re sweet, but don’t stand out to me the way some others do.
The lazy and jock villagers are also fun in their own ways. The jocks are the male equivalent of peppies in a way, since they’re loud and enthusiastic about exercise the way Flora (my peppy) is about becoming a pop star.
The lazy ones are basically chill stoner neighbors who get the munchies a lot. Drago (my lazy villager) is pretty fun to hang out with lol.
So…it all boils down to your personal preference, but I would say most others dislike the snooty ones too.
