ELI5: Why do people like awkward jerks on TV so much but probably wouldn't be able to stand them in real life (Sherlock, House, Sheldon, Will graham etc.)

In short bursts they're kind of funny, but when dealt with on a daily basis they get grating. In addition, there's no consequences with things that happen on TV. House snarking at an actor who's pretending to have cancer is funny. Your real doctor doing it to you is incredibly insulting.
