    Randy Marsh is brilliant. A much more on-the-nose stupid dad routine than Homer Simpson.

    Agreed. South Park is the best cartoon out there.

    David Brent
    Basil Fawlty
    Boycie (OFAH)

    Can't have any of them because you have never watched the BBC...

    Del Boy is for me the greatest comedy character, and arguably one of the greatest TV characters altogether the UK has ever had. David Brent is the funniest of the modern era.

    Surprised nobody has mentioned any of the lads from the Inbetweeners!

    These characters made it a little easier, being forced to pay me telly tax.

    Had either Fawlty Towers or OFaH been on commercial television, there would have only been one series - viewing figures and critical reception were not good...

    Actually read that as Rodney Marsh.

    Thinking about it though, Rodney Marsh

    For those of you that agree with me that it is Will Hay that claims the accolade then you might be interested that on You Tube you can watch his films, the full length for free. For anyone wanting to see what all my fuss is about I suggest you start with "where's that Fire" a comedy masterpiece.

    I'm not content with picking one, so I've gone for sub categories. Still cant believe that I've got none in from Phoenix Nights, Flight of the Conchords, Smoking Room, Dear John, Father Ted, League of Gentlemen... Oh well, it'll probably change tomorrow.

    In my eyes it is because each of the characters all live in their own little words (albeit all in Stansted Airport). I don't remember ever seeing any crossover between the characters in different sections of the programme.

    Perhaps it belongs in a category all of it's own?
