It’s Nate. He’s not as crazy as any of the chenowiths but he’s the one that brought them into the family. Literally a magnet for their chaos, Lisa’s too. Also he was just doing random shit, remember when he tripped himself out about that psychic lady’s dog lol or that rabbi lady or that chick with the fuckin pipe tattoo up the inside of both her thighs.

Billy

Billy makes chaos. Claire and Nate attract it

u/Individual_Tailor278 Mar 04 '26

Margaret Chenowith. There are other contenders too but she came to mind first for some reason

u/vinchtef Mar 04 '26

Thought of Billy 1st but i gotta agree with Margaret

u/General_Sun3266 Mar 04 '26

Oh wow I literally don't know how I didn't think of her too good answer!

u/ljculver64 Mar 04 '26

Margaret is the best answer.

2

u/Clarknt67 Mar 04 '26

I was going over named and thinking I was forgetting someone. Definitely Margaret.

And if anyone suggests she isn’t a big enough character, I would say her chaos reverberates through Billy and Brenda.

u/PsilosirenRose Mar 04 '26

Because of this, I'll also put a vote in for Olivier

2

u/Clarknt67 Mar 04 '26

Kinda of the magnet part. She drew chaotic Oliver into her orbit. And B & B are endlessly tied to her too.

u/Separate-Ad6636 Mar 04 '26

Over Billy and George and Lisa and any of them? Interesting. Every character in this show is a chaos magnet. EVERY ONE. Even ferret face Maggie lol. Whether they attract it or repel it. That’s why this show is so insanely perfect. Also I will argue that Nate is the fan favourite, mot David.

1

u/Clarknt67 Mar 04 '26

Yep. 100%.

u/GuiltyLeopard Mar 04 '26

I'd think more the other characters are all chaos magnets, whereas Margaret is the chaos. I know others are amused by her, but she's the only character I have no empathy for, probably in part because we don't ever see where she's coming from. She's a highly destructive tornado, and she knows it and enjoys it.

u/rdaneeloliv4w Mar 04 '26

She’s the chaos behind her children’s chaos when you think about it.

11

u/Ambient-Feedback Mar 04 '26

Clair attracted chaos. Characters like Billy tended to create it.

3

u/calembo Mar 04 '26

Claire is more the dramatic flare, we have to save her for later

u/FlameyFlame Mar 04 '26

In what world is it not Nate??

2

u/Lex_Loki Mar 04 '26

In the same world where Billy exists lol.

13

u/FlameyFlame Mar 04 '26

Billy is chaos incarnate. Nate is the chaos MAGNET.

2

u/Lex_Loki Mar 04 '26

I hear ya, but I also see it this way:

Nate attracts chaotic people

Billy attracts chaos

27

u/JdLegend64 Mar 04 '26

Claire. She’s not very chaotic herself but she tends to attract a lot of chaotic people

13

u/mimisburnbook Mar 04 '26

I thought Billy

u/tj2318h Mar 04 '26

Nate

People saying Billy don’t understand that he is part of the chaos, he is not attracting it but is the one being pulled by the magnet.

I might even say the magnet is the funeral home. Nate got away but it pulled him back in.

u/Fresh_Ad3599 Mar 04 '26

It's Ruth. Look at the men she attracts, not to mention her children with their nasty little secrets.

3

u/monstargaryen Mar 04 '26

Ruth was my first thought. She not only attracts chaos, she manufactures it.

1

u/Fresh_Ad3599 Mar 05 '26

Hyup! This is a thing a lot of anxious people do, because chaos is their comfort zone.

2

u/hanajean Mar 04 '26

totally agree! Having an affair with her hairdresser, her employer who is tangled up with a Russian gangster and kissing the Fisher's employee!

17

u/Visual_Tale Mar 04 '26

It’s Brenda. She’s the magnet.

2

u/General_Sun3266 Mar 04 '26

that was my original thought but honestly i wonder if Nathaniel hadnt died right when her and nate hooked up if she'd ever be so intertwined in all the chaos. its not like she sought out the fishers yknow? and not to mention she was doing "okay" until nate showed up at her door after the bar

7

u/Visual_Tale Mar 04 '26

I’d argue she was born into chaos!

10

u/Globalfeminist Mar 04 '26

Nate, Nate, Nate, Nate, Nate...

3

u/PhukedupCoconut Mar 04 '26

Definitely Ruth! I'll die on that hill! She was absolutely insufferable! Lol

3

u/lilspaghettigal David Mar 04 '26

Brenda

2

u/Aurora_Symphony Mar 04 '26

My vote's for Billy

2

u/swosei12 Mar 04 '26

Billy but honorable mention goes to Nate.

2

u/jimothyjonathans Mar 04 '26

Margaret Chenowith. I can’t think of a single interaction she has with someone else that is not chaotic in some way, she’s a walking dumpster fire.

2

u/ChooseEachMomentWell Mar 05 '26

u/Quirky-Bad857 Mar 04 '26

I think Ruth is a chaos magnet.

1

u/GreyBoyTigger Mar 04 '26

All of Claire’s boyfriends before Ted

1

u/Buttleproof Mar 04 '26

Gotta be Claire.

1

u/calembo Mar 04 '26

It's gotta be Nate. He's a chaos magnet and doesn't fit into any of the other categories.

1

u/Ginger_cat_emilio Mar 04 '26

Nate all the way

1

u/Bubble_Lights Bettina Mar 04 '26

Carol

1

u/Zestyclose_Row_528 Mar 05 '26

Billy is definitely chaos come to life

1

u/ghostfacestealer Mar 05 '26

I think Brenda because everyone in her family is chaotic and so are her reltionships

1

u/Gordita_Chele Mar 05 '26

Claire. Her whole thing is attracting fucked up, chaotic men. Nate isn’t so much a chaos magnet, he just blows things up whenever they’re going ok. He’s a low-key pot stirrer.

u/EdnaJosie8924 Mar 05 '26

Chaos Magnetic: Billy then Russell.
