Favourite TV characters

I PITY THE FOO'!

Yup, like many 20-somethings I have Mr T-ourrettes...

The Hitcher from The Mighty Boosh is a personal favourite, despite being an entirely one-sided character. He's just consistently funny, from his radio appearance through his two TV episodes and the live show, and emminently quotable without falling into the realm of twattish catchphrasing like Old Gregg.

Excellent choice.

I was gonna choose a Mighty Boosh character, but didn't think it was that popular on here. Personal favourites being Hitcher, Spirit of Jazz and Dixon Bainbridge. In fact, scratch my previous choices, Bainbridge is my choice.

"Naboo! I know you're some kind of gypsy shaman!"

Bainbridge is brilliant. One of the most under-rated Boosh quotes ever is "He just punched a filly in the face!". Matt Berry has the world's best voice.

I actually can't believe no one has said Denny Crane yet. It saddens me that the world has sunk so low. He is the greatest person ever and is better than all.

And Christian Troy of Nip/Tuck

[The Future]

It saddens me that there is no love for the Oz characters:(

Oz: Kareem Sayid, Simon Adebesi, Ryan O Reiley, Tobias Beecher

LOST: Sayid,Jin,Sawyer

Others: Homer Simpson,Jack Bauer,Peter Griffin

Yeah, I second that. I'm partial to a cockney character anyway >_>, but the Hitcher is awesome. I still use the "apples and pears and assorted fruits" comment that one of his minions uses when I'm taking the piss out of my own London accent.

EDIT: And I agree on Matt Berry having the world's best voice. So smooth, it's awesome.

Ever since we first heard The Hitcher on the radio Hitcher episode, the evil cockney voice is our default impression for practically everyone. It's just so much fan talking shit in that voice.

Bernard Black from Black Books. Fucking great character. Typical sitcom anti-hero, but Dylan Moran pulls it off so well, and so ridiculously at times, that you can't not love him. In fact, he may be my favourite.

My top 10

1. Xander - seriously the best character I've ever seen

2. JD - Yes, Cox rocks, but the development of JD is what see's me put him ahead of Cox on my list

3. Dr Cox

4. House

5. Spike

6. Teabag from Prison Break

7. Hawkeye from M*A*S*H

8. The Pretender - I lovee this show. Still do. Awesome character that made me wanna tune in each week to see what he's impersonate

9. Homer Simpson

10. Willow

Nuff Said

[Enter Blue Guy]

Michael Scott (the Office)

Dwight Schute (the Office)

Ricky (Trailer Park Boys)

Jim Lahey (Trailer Park Boys)

Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm)

Bill McNeal (Newsradio... how could nobody mention him yet?)

Jimmy James (Newsradio)

Mason (Dead Like Me)

Chandler Bing (Friends... my favorite show, however, I think Chandler is the only one that stands out as truly unique and original. All together they work well in an ensemble cast, but I believe Chandler could have worked just as well, maybe better, in a cast half the size. Better than Joey, for sure)
