The Todd

 

[Hammer Michael]

No contest...Basil Fawlty!

 

[SamYourEye]

Larry David is worth a shout

"I was planning on my future as a homeless person. I had a really good spot picked out."

 

[SamYourEye]

Edmund Blackadder

"A man may fight for many things: his country, his principles, his friends, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mudwrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a stack of French porn."

 

[nemanja nemagic]

Edmund Blackadder

Seconded.

Save the first series, that was awful.

 

[roxyfella]

Rigsby (Leonard Rossiter)


Captain Mainwaring (Arthur Lowe)


Del Boy (David Jason)

[SamYourEye]

Brian Topp in Spaced

Withnail

Tobias Funke from Arrested Development

Tobias is hilarious, good call

 

[Marcosdeto]

Cosmo Kramer

 

[2red4U]

Cosmo Kramer

I love him! Remember the episode when he bought a rooster? He put it on a leash and walked on the streets of Manhattan. Hilarious scene. Trigger from 'Only fools and horses' is great as well

 

[2red4U]

 

[el eric]

Basil Fawlty was no 1

no suprise really

 

[duffer]

George Costanza

Arnold Judas Rimmer

 

[heightmassive]

George Costanza

He's brilliant.

I'm fairly new to Seinfeld, I've been watching the boxsets after years of filing it away with the likes of 'Friends' and dismissing it, I wonder how I've ever done without it these days.

Class show.

 

[Marcosdeto]

George Costanza

he was hilarious

 

[Salvation]

Michael Richards was probably better, in hindsight, after Larry David took his character to a whole new level with Curb. You can see traces of Richard Lewis too in George Costanza

 

[francobaresi]

Ari Gold

Entourage

Genius

 

[manutdlegend]

Manuel.

 

[air_mood]

Homer Simpson

Gregory House, rude and funny genius.

 

[Bape]

Chandler Bing.

 

[SamYourEye]

'GOB' Bluth

 

[KingEric7]

Easily John Cleese in Fawlty Towers.

 

[francobaresi]

 

[Tibs]

Homer Simpson

 

[UBERScholes]

Has to be Richard Richard and Edward Hitler

 

[Adebesi]

'GOB' Bluth

I'd say pretty much every character in Arrested Development would have a shout at getting into a top 50 list.

 

[SamYourEye]

True

 

[Adebesi]

I just thought of another one. Wu out of Deadwood. Every conversation he ever has in that program is comedy gold.

 

[crappycraperson]

Michael Richards was probably better, in hindsight, after Larry David took his character to a whole new level with Curb. You can see traces of Richard Lewis too in George Costanza

You got that mixed up. Larry is more like George with some Kramer thrown in.

 

[pillory]

From the top of my head: Bernard Black, Basil Fawlty, any role played by Chris Morris, Grev Malcolm in Sommarnattens Leende (Bergman), Dr. Strangelove.

 

[pillory]

Oh, and everyone involved in this:



Best Python scene ever.

 

[Adebesi]

any role played by Chris Morris

Word.

 

[Stobzilla]

Alan Partridge.

 

[redspoony]

Hawkeye, BJ and Winchester from MASH would be in there for me.
