My first game was as Pictland, but I think i ruler designed so the Circinn family was just a count or something while I was the duke as a different dynasty, in the end the Circinn dynasty became mine, they died out and bred into a branch of my dynasty.

In most* of my starts this guy Urguist Circinn usurps the throne from Ciniod of Fib like clockwork, then de jure conquers everything in sight. The only reason I survived as Áed Mac Gabráin of Dál Riata was because I'd raided enough to summon a tribal army and had a marriage alliance with Mercia.
A couple hundred years later my great-great-grandson peacefully usurped k_scotland from him. One member of his clan is still around as the Duke of Kent.
* Funnily enough it doesn't seem to have happened in my Russia game. Pictland blobbed like usual but IIRC Clan Fib is still in charge. EDIT: I take that back. Urguist died early, and then his son took over Pictland.

I feel the same for Charlie. Every time I play as him, it's always an independence faction or an elective faction that's the strongest. When I play as a vassal under him it's still the same, with the AI urging me to join their revolt. And of course no one likes it when he dies because of the border gore, and then the yellow blob from the south sweeps in, the rest is history.
Update: After playing some games at the 867 start, I got some new dynasties to not like:
de Cantabria - Playing as Navarre, trying to get my de jure lands back, these damn Goths just won't let go. I kinda want the Umayyads to ram them through at this point.
Welf - playing as the Anjou family, a German owns the duchy of Anjou, and prying it from his German hands took me way too long. In the end I massacred as many of them as I could.
Presmylid - Play as the Hungarian Arpads, settling, and the becoming Catholic. These damn Bohemians won't stop pushing their claims on their old lands, while I'm fighting a civil war. Go away please.
Karling - Karlings again because wacky inheritance laws make Europe's inner borders disgusting.

I have no particular hatred for dynasties, however, I definitely have a most hated nation - Byzantium. It's a huge, ugly blob with a prohibition on all things spherical, and it's not even fun to rule over after you liberate it due to its de jure structure.

I prefer:
"To Know the Karling is to Kill the Karling"
Or any other horrible deaths percievable. Blood. Fire. Slaughter. Only way.
Yours has a nice ring to it though.
I also dislike the ERE, but only because it never quite achieves the slow decline. It always blobs like mad or disappears in a couple of generations.
But that seems to be a general problem with CK2.
In my current game the Abbasids exploded by 780, the AI Ragnar Lothbrok reformed the Germanic faith, I reformed Tengri and the last Karling died in 805.
BEST. GAME. EVER!

Sounds fantastic. Care to lend a copy? (only do tell which version it is on).
The only odd thing about Lothbrok reforming the germnaic faith is that Sigurd Ring must have filed to do it. The af Munsö's are way more annoying than the Karlings.

I dunno, anyone that can consistently make a 5 coloured checkerboard made up of Burgundy, Aquitaine and West/Middle/East Francia is pretty low in my books.
I just remembered when checking Pictland in my Estonia game, they have consolidated their de jure lands and moved into Ireland aswell, so was intresting. Uib dynasty in charge, which is the dynasty name my dynasty had, not sure if it was character created or not tho.
The Seljuks. They're constantly revoking titles and replacing the former rulers with more Seluks. I typically see the entire Seljuk sultanate controlled by that family. It literally drives me off the wall.
Currently my most hated dynasty is the Chochisko dynasty, leaders of a tiny country between Lithuania and Poland, but they keep ruining all my plans, until just recently. It wasnt even the huge Ruthenia that ruined my plans, not even the triple dynasty alliance of Sweden, Norway and Denmark that attack me every so often but fail due to attrition. Its a tiny little country... who is the biggest power in the region.
Dunbar.
Curse you, Count Dolfin, just get in the manure inn!!!
The epic multi-generational feud between my Northumbrian counts and the Dunbars is one of my finest CK2 memories.

Country: Bavaria
Dynasty: Lambakanna
They never collapse, they never get conquered. I played four full-length games from 769 to 1453 and they always perfectly held all their initial lands. Meanwhile, Byzantium got conquered by nomads in one, Umayyads defeated by Christian in the other, Caliphates collapse every 100 years and ever Mali can be destroyed by berbers despite being one of the statistically stables nations. How this is even fair?
