[TV] Top 5 Comedy TV Show Characters

[Northy]

So, what are your top 5 television show characters in a comedy (half-hour or 1-hour shows).

Here's my top 5:

5. Stewie Griffen (Family Guy)
4. Charlie Kelly (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia)
3. Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory)
2. Michael Scott (The Office - US)
1. George Costanza (Seinfeld)

[Pud'n]

5. Bender (Futurama)
4. Christine Campbel (The New Adventures of Old Christine)
3. Liz Lemon (30 Rock)
2. Roger (American Dad)
1. Charlie Kelly (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia)

Just off the top of my head.

[hulkgor]

1. by a MILE -> Cartman (south park)
...
2. to 4. in no particular order
Stewie (family guy)
George Costanza (seinfeld)
Sheldon (bigbangtheory)

[Fuzzzie]

The whole cast of Community. Only real comedy show I can tolerate.

[Pendulous]

I kind of list animated shows as a different category, so I wouldn't put any of those on a list like this. I will say, however, that number one right now would HAVE to be Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother.

[BatteredRose]

In no actual order...

Roger from American Dad
Francine from American Dad
Kelly from Married with Children
Kramer from Seinfeld
Stewie from Family Guy

Then a good handful of honorable mentions.

Edit:

On second thought, I think Kelly is probably my all-time favorite. <3

[Unlimited Power]

Tracy Jordan(?), 30 Rock
Bender, Futurama
J.D. (Scrubs)
Liz Lemon, 30 Rock
Will Smith, Prince of Bel Air (that's right, that show still airs where I live)

[Devolution]

1. Charlie Kelly from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
2. Thad Castle from Blue Mountain State
3. Tie between Shawn and Gus from Psych
4. Tobias Fünke from Arrested Development
5. David Putty from Seinfeld

[Roose]

Charlie
Al Bundy
Homer (90s version)
Gob
Ron Swanson

I could go on and on, but these just make me crack up with all of the memorable lines.

[Deleted]

1.Al Bundy.
2.Al Bundy.
3.Al Bundy.
4.Al Bundy.
5.Al Bundy.

[Chouzan]

In no particular order, excluding animation. Because let's be real, the only thing left on Fox worth watching are American Dad and Bob's Burgers, and I could fill an entire list with Venture Brothers characters who are just as funny, if not moreso.

1. Troy, or really anyone from NBC's Community. Best comedy on television today.
2. Hank Moody (Californication; it's a shame the show's sort of on a downturn imo, always love the unintentional Hank Moody comedy moments)
3. Charlie Kelly (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia)
4. Kenny Powers (Eastbound & Down)
5. Johnathan Ames (Bored to Death; it's an absolute sin this is being canceled, but HBO does that sometimes)

[Solidito]

1 being my fave.

1. Dwight Schrute (The Office)
2. Charlie Kelly (Always Sunny)
3. Michael Scott (The Office)
4. Moss (The IT Crowd)
5. Cartman (South Park)

[Zoma]

No order

Zapp Brannigan (Futurama)
Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory)
Barney Stinson (How I Met Your Mother)
Kenny McCormick (South Park)
Jared Franklin (Franklin & Bash)

[Skarsguard]

Sheldon Cooper (Big Bang Theory)
Shawn Spencer (Psych)
George Costanza (Seinfeld)
Al Bundy (Married with Children)
Chandler (Friends)

[Maes]

This is hard! I like all the bundys, george and kramer, moss, everyone on big bang theory, doug on king of queens, pheobe and joey from friends, cartman, stewie, stan smith.... and more comedic characters from non comedies like captain jack harkness.... ummmmmm

1. Captain Jack Harkness (idc if he counts or not!)
2. The Bundys (yes all of them! but mostly bud)
3. George and Kramer
4. Doug
5. Rahj and Sheldon (and others to a lesser extent)

[icedwarrior]

1.) Sweet Dee.
2.) Frank.
3.) Charlie.
4.) Mac.
5.) Dennis.

Honorable mention (if it counts): Stephen Colbert.

As you can tell, I love me some It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Also...I realize that these are subjective and the like, but I'm surprised about how many like Stewie. I, personally, can't stand him. He's not even remotely funny to me at all. But to each their own.
