Who Are Your Top 5 Tv Comedy Characters?

Who are your all time favorite TV comedy characters, not actors or actresses, but the character.

for me it is in no particular order;

Ed Norton from The Honeymooners

Fred Sanford from Sanford and Son

Archie Bunker from All in The Family

Derek (Del Boy) Trotter from Only Fools and Horses

Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory

Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers


I know I'm forgetting some, but those are my top favs.

oops, almost forgot Moss from The IT Crowd

as I look at this I realize, man the '80's and '90's sucked for good comedy TV, except Only Fools and Horses.

 

The most laughable. obongo.

 

Rachel
Chandler
Joey
Phoebe
Monica
And even sometimes, Ross.

 

lol why was Ross such a douche?

Marshall from himym.

George Jefferson

Queen Latifah in Living Single...no point in lying to save face. Her character cracked me up.

woody, norm, and cliff from cheers

I'm actually quite sure some of these are absolutely not in my top 5, but I can't think too hard about this right now

 

Alice Kramden (only the Audrey Meadows version)

she is exactly the kind of wife/friend ive always been searching for

George Jefferson for telling it like it is

Al Bundy for being real

2 more added later

 

:-
DEL BOY (Only Fools and Horses)
NORMAN STANLEY FLETCHER (Porridge)
SIDESHOW BOB - (The Simpsons)
ALAN PARTRIDGE - (Knowing me Knowing you/Alan Partridge)
WILL SMITH - (Fresh Prince of Bel Air)

 

Sheldon Copper (Big Bang Theory)

Max Black (2 Broke Girls)

Cam Tucker (Modern Family)

That's all I can think of right now, I don't watch that much tv.

 

Bart Simpson (Simpsons)

George Castanza (Seinfeld)

Al Bundy (Married with Children)

Conrad (Weeds)

Chandler Bing (Friends)

*Clayton Bigsby-(Chapelle Show)- Gets an honorable mention and asterisks for being in only one episode.

 

How could I forget Seinfeld but my favourite in that is Kramer

 

oh yeah...george from Seinfeld.

Doug on weeds (Kevin Nealon). I liked the running joke about how he thought every black man he met was U-Turn because he thought all black people looked the same

 

I don't think Ross was a douche at all.

 

Remember when we got to see his weenie in The Simpson's Movie?

Hahaha I am so immature sometimes.

 

What about Russ?

 

To me only Phoebe seems a great character where it comes to Friends.

From the top of my head:

Kramer, and George Costanza (Newman is a great classic too btw!) Georges father cracks me up all the time too, especially when he starts yelling.

Basil Fawlty of course. Fantastic to watch! Utterly brilliant comedy, which makes me think of:

Edmund Blackadder

Dwight Schrute (I like that old guy in the office too, Creed. Often in the background or only a short appearance but he's generally hilarious. Manager Michael is near my top 5 too)

I think the squirl from Spongebob Squarepants is hilarious.

I like a lot of other shows but I guess it's more the thing as a whole or the combi of characters and not just a character in particular that stands out (otherwise I would have picked one from Simpsons or Futurama... among others ).

Would never have thought of him from the top of my head (even googled to see which guy it was) but yes, he was the funniest guy in that show!

 

I dont know how I forgot about the Office. Every single character was brilliant

 

Russ was a dolt...

 

Roman from Party Down (my favourite comedy)

Ron Donald from Party Down

Charlie from It's Always Sunny In Philedelphia

Jillian from Workaholics

Todd Margaret from The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret

 

I forgot about Todd Margaret

Have a couple more I just have to add to my list;
Mark Corrigan & Jeremy "Jez" Usbourne from Peep Show.

 

Todd Margaret is sooooooo good! The best train wreck comedy.

Dennis from Always Sunny also almost made the list. He is such a sociopath, but makes it hilarious.
