I like Wiig generally and think she is immensely talented, but you are spot on in that the characters she is drawn to - or at the very least - that make it to air are unbearable:
-- annoying Target lady
-- annoying woman who one-ups everything you say
-- annoying daughter with braces who picks on her brother (I said
we!)
-- annoying newscasters who hits on her interviewees
-- annoying travel reporter (just kidding)
-- annoying aunt who gives terrible movie reviews (Gah!)
I'm sure there's more. The fact that I remember these is frightening. I think it speaks more to the fact they are repeated ad nauseum each season rather them standing out in any way besides being awful.
It's a shame because when Wiig isn't the main character, she shines.
