Mickey Gubitosi/Bobby Blake. Hands down.
I wasn't particularly fond of Froggy, either.

Froggy is my favorite! Man he was a riot and he will always be my favorite rascal out of any of the gang and the eras. Another favorite of mine was Jackie Condon.
As far as least i would have to say Mickey aka Robert Blake as well he was just plain whiny and annoying in some of these shorts. I also wasn't fond of Jackie Cooper much. I thought he was a good actor and all but kinda overrated to me.

I'm pretty sure I would have liked both characters more had Hal Roach still been producing the shows.
On the subject of Robert Blake and Froggy, did you ever see the episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by Robert Blake? He did this skit about where the Rascals were now, with Eddie Murphy, of course, as Buckwheat, Mary Gross as Alfalfa, and other cast members as Froggy, Darla and Spanky. Froggy was being hauled off to prison after getting revenge on the doctor who removed his tonisils and made his voice like that.

What an excellent question.This goes without saying and I will include the reasons for being the most annoying as the reasons why I feel this way.It is pretty much a tossup here,and really in no particular order either.
I find that both Froggy and Alfalfa were both my least favorite gang members.I couldn't stand Froggy's voice,it always drove me up the wall.Same with Alfalfa,but mainly due to Alfalfa's singing.Waldo I guess would come in next.And Spanky for knowing what he was really like in real life,was just a complete turnoff.
I thought as a kid actor he was fine,especially in his younger years,but knowing that this wasn't what the real Spanky was like in real life,my opinion of him changed real quick.

Mickey and Froggy were by far the most annoying.

Hmmm... I have not seen any of the MGM's, so my opinion will be bizare! My least favourite would probably be... oh but who's not to like? i used to get really annoyed at Dickie Moore because in "Hook and Ladder" he seems really fake. But I would count him among my favourites now.

My least favorite is Shirly Jean. For some reason she just really annoyed me and her hair is really wierd too.

While I didn't find her annoying, I don't think her hair really fit in Our Gang.

Shirley used to creep me out when I was a kid, making all those googly-eyes at Wheezer. I would have just eaten the candy myself.

I never like Butch because for one, he looked and acted like a bully, and plus, I was bullied by someone who almost looked like Butch.

To me i wish Froggy would have been in the Hal Roach eara. Actually he could of been since he was born in 1932. He could have played in the later roach shorts. Billy Laughlin was a superb actor in the mgm era! He did a heck of alot better than Mickey did. Jackie Cooper to be was overated a good our gang kid though. I personally didn't think to much of Dickie from Hook And Ladder much

I think I've only seen one of the newer MGM shorts. Of the silents and the early talkies through pre-MGM, I'd say my least favorite was -gosh that is hard. Maybe Jean Darling because she didn't seem to do much other than be the straight actress. Nothing against her though; she was really pretty and grew up to be even more so. I'd love to talk to her too.
