Wow, stuff has changed from my last post in here in 2009. In light of some shows I've watched since then. (I would include Ron Swanson and Gus from BB but Brwned already did it).

 

[Adebesi]

Saul and the Community lot are good shouts.

 

[Liam147]

Barney Stinson - HIMYM
Dr. Cox - Scrubs
Schmidt - New Girl

Schmidt might even be top after a few series.

Mentions for House, if only the programme could match the character, and the lead guy in Lie To Me, same as House, great lead character, okay programme. Chandler Bing and Peter Griffin have also provided much hilarity.

 

[Chrisjn]

That shitty lawyer from the systems.

 

[Leg-End]

Ron Swanson has now made it onto my list.

 

[Rado_N]

Pretty much the whole cast of The West Wing.

There's another version of this thread knocking about as well isn't there?

1. Michael Scofield - Prison Break

Malcolm out of The Thick Of It.

 

[Team Brian GB]

1. James Bond, as played by Timothy Dalton
"Kara: You were fantastic, we're free!
Bond: Kara, we're inside a Russian airbase in the middle of Afghanistan"

2. Sir Humphrey Appleby, Yes Minister
"'The matter is under consideration' means we have lost the file. 'The matter is under active consideration' means we are trying to find the file."

"Politicians must be allowed to panic. They need activity. It is their substitute for achievement."

"Theology is a device for helping agnostics to stay within the Church of England."

3. Major Boothroyd 'Q'
"Bond: They always said the pen was mightier than the sword
Q: Thanks to me they were right"

"Don't touch that! Thats my lunch"

On Bond taking Holly Goodhead on an orbit around the Earth in Moonraker before returning getting 'randy' in the process Q utters to M the best line in the entire franchise: 'I think they're attempting re-entry sir'.

 

[Red Panda]

Rigsby from Rising Damp


Kramer

Don Logan (Ben Kingsley) in Sexy Beast - absolutely stunning performance

 

[Waltraute]

It's a tie between Wotan, Gurnemanz, Brünnhilde, Odysseus and Eddie Hitler.

[Scholesgoals]

Darken Rahl (from the book)

Just so evil... but brilliantly, smugly dastardly evil.

Best character obv

 

[Scholesgoals]

1. Richard Rahl

2. Eric Cantona

3. Lister!!!

A combination of those three could slay godzilla with eye lasers.

hahah and of course these ones from 2009

at least i was consistent with a Rahl...

 

[Nucks]

Two that haven't been mentioned that were absolutely brilliant.

Saul Tigh.
Gaius Baltar.

 

[cesc's_mullet]

Vegeta.

 

[gooDevil]

One of the best cameos ever: Vincenzo Coccotti

 

[gooDevil]

Probably Oldman's best performance: Agent Norman Stansfield

Never to be outdone: Jareth

Most underrated comic performance: Biff

 

[Rado_N]

That one in the newbies with all the Ari Gold-loving gimps?]

I was thinking of this one: https://www.redcafe.net/f27/favourite-tv-characters-259340/

It's just tv characters though.

 

[R.N7]

 

[Zarlak]

But a true champion, face to face with his darkest hour, will do whatever it takes to rise above. A man fights, and fights, and then fights some more. Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies.

I'm the man who has the ball. I'm the man who can throw it faster than feck. So that is why i am better than everyone in the world. Kiss my ass and suck my dick... everyone.

 

[Jimy_Hills_Chin]

Yossarian - Catch 22

 

[redspoony]

 

[Adebesi]

The Equaliser. One time fighter of crime in New York, before Edward Woodward called time on his acting career to become a banker and ultimately an executive with Man United.

 

[GiggsysGirl]

 

[Nearco]

1. Shane Vendrell

2. Norman Stanley Fletcher

3. Randy Marsh

4. Bunk Moreland

5. 13

6. Jack Regan

7. Manny Blanco

8. Bart Simpson

9. Al Swearengen

10. House

 

[Bross]

Just a few off the top of my head

 

[IBleedRed]

Laughing Man

Legion (Not easy to pick a favorite from this series)

 

[IBleedRed]

This one is hard to beat

 

[Duffy]

1. Tony Soprano (The Sopranos)

2. Sheldon Cooper (Big Bang Theory)

3. Randy Marsh (South Park)

 

[LoveInTheAsylum]

I didn't like the film but he's still a terrific character I guess. Think Kinski was supposed to have gone crazy during the filming, though I guess that's standard for a Herzog film.

Odysseus

'...that cunning, honey-tongued quibbler, that pleaser of the mob'?

Think mine are Holden Caulfield, Omar Little and Jack Malone before Without a Trace got really stupid.

 

[ste_michaels]

Al bundy

 

[KingEric7]

Livia Soprano.

 

[R.N7]

 

[Zen]

1. Tony Soprano (The Sopranos)

2. Sheldon Cooper (Big Bang Theory)

3. Randy Marsh (South Park)

It's a shame you've got a horrendous character in the middle here. Randy and Tony are GOAT worthy.
