Everyone has some, and i got the idea to write this article when i was playing Fallout 3 today, so here are some of mine, what are yours?
#1 Enclave Soldiers (Fallout 3) Extremely annoying because they stayed in packs and carried laser guns which broke my armor like a hammer to the groin.
#2 Gas Zombies (Dead Rising 2) Again traveled in packs but these Mother******* would jump and make you do a quick time event in a quarter of a second, and if you failed, you died.
3) Everyone (Far Cry 2) As mentioned in ZP grass in this game does nothing to conceal from the enemies telescopic vision and they would snipe you the moment they glimpsed your shoelace from half a mile away, and early on in the game they were eating my buttock like roast beef, I only won the game because of the sniper rifle's so i can out snipe them.
I'm not sure you get the definition of obnoxious, annoying or difficult does not equal obnoxious.
My example would be Borgia guards on Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, the bastards push you around when you're just walking around minding your own business, knocking you into walls and calling you the arsehole, now that's obnoxious.
Taking on just one is easy; you just grab button him to death. But as soon as another one enters the fight, the grab button goes right out the window. The main problem I had with them apart from being fast and strong is that they're extremely unpredictable. You never really know how they're going to attack or counter your attack.
I didn't even find them that difficult in the first game since the Blade of Artimes makes short work of them, but I had a much tougher time in the rest of the games.
I don't know if you played God of War 3, but...
...there's one instant where you're pit against a cerberus that spits exploding dogs. After you've cut off one of it's heads, a satyr joins the fight. Cut off the second head and two more satyrs enter.
God damn mages in Dragon Age, so much so that me and my friend have an in joke where whenever one of us is playing and we see a mage, we must immediately shout "MAGE, KILL IT!".
Well, if you know me in Proyect Z (Spanish hl2 modification) you would see me yelling NIIIIINJAAAAAS! because the zombies were so quiet they would hit you and infect you.
Another is the Vortiguants in Synergy (Coop HL2 mod), they can insta-gib you, they can hit you from long range, and they take some damage!

Without even reading the replies I'm betting there's a lot of "Creepers from MineCraft"
For me it would have to be those tiny ships from Beat Hazard; or the hordes of ninja/assassin/super-soldiers that attack in packs and have massive amounts of health... that are in chapter 3 of PainKiller.
EDIT: no wait- most obnoxious enemy? Iceman from Marvel vs Capcom 2
...or better yet, anyone who picks Ironman online and does the infinite air-combo exploit!
Any enemy from Bayonetta, but mainly Grace and Glory, I loathed it when those two showed up.
Also quick zombies in Half-Life 2, I remember this one part (I think on Highway 17 or something) where I had to carefully move across a narrow ledge and jump up to a sewage pipe, the moment I jumped up to the pipe, a quick zombie from within the pipe charged me and knocked me off the cliff to my death. Rage ensued.
Either the ants or the Tommy dolls in Zombies Ate My Neighbors. The ants move parallel to you unless you're facing them (in which case they just charge), so it's impossible to get around them without using up a ton of ammo, and they walk off with items lying around (and then despawn when they move offscreen, because that's how games were back then). Oh, and they're the size of an SUV. The dolls are tough, fast, small targets, and don't know when the fuck to die.
More recent game-wise, I'd probably just say gravity.
Hunters from prototype! even near the end of the game, where your all powered and leveled up. Its that stupid, unblockable, rush move they have. if it wasn't for the hunter dirtnap, I would of broke my controller.
Trigens from Far Cry.
Any enemies which explode upon death.
Boss monsters in Diablo 2 who are Multiple Shot and Lightning Enchanted.
Illithids in Baldurs Gate 2.
Mages in The Witcher.
ANY form of big, floaty eye-thing from The Last Remnant.
Fuckin' Tentacool. Every time I go out for a leisurely swim with my Lapras (in the game of course) I get bombarded with a maelstorm of Tentacool every two seconds!
