So, who do you think is funny? (On TV)
- Thread starter oldschoolfool
- Start date
Which character's sense of humor do you like? Who makes you laugh the most?
Here's my list.
- Larry David [Curb Your Enthusiasm]
By far the funniest character on television methinks. His dubious morals combined with the awkward situations that he puts himself in is rich grounds for comedy. His manager and him are quite the duo, and I love to watch them create ruckus after ruckus and then attempt to "fix it" on the show. As Larry David says, "I'm a fixer. I screw up. I rectify."
- Dr. House [House M.D]
The anti-hero in this show is the most enthralling character I've seen in years. This is helped by the fact that Hugh Laurie is a brilliant actor. I loved him on a Bit of Fry & Laurie, and his portrayal of a misanthropic American doctor is so convincing it's hard to believe that he's British. He's completely clueless when it comes to sociability, this coupled with his outrageous/quirky sense of humor makes him one of the funnier characters on TV. This show is one of the best thrill rides I've had in years. Wilson & House are enough to keep me tuning in week after week.
- Sheldon [The Big Bang Theory]
I'm sure a lot of you on here have watched this show, and you obviously know why I've picked him. Jim Parsons' quirky rendition of a socially inept theoretical physicist is gut splitting to say the least.
- Eric Cartman [South Park]
"Scott Tenorman Must Die" sums up this lovable cartoon anti-hero I thought, stupid & evil. He usually steals the spotlight on most occasions, and for good reason, he's by far the most interesting character on the show. Even though recent episodes of South Park have been lacking in quality compared to the earlier seasons, (wayyy back) Cartman's legacy will live on.
Honorable mentions
- Peter Griffin
- Stewie Griffin
- Barney Stinson
- Robot Chicken (Not really a character, but it's a stop motion comedy by Seth Green featuring action figures...with a twist. Very funny.)

larry david for sure, curb episodes never get old.
Larry David. I don't know, but something about his character is f'n hilarious.
Sheldon Cooper, Stewie Griffin, Troy and Abed (from Community) Ron Swanson (Parks and Recreation) Barney Stinson and of course Jack Donaghy.
I always like to watch comedy shows.And usually i like to watch those shows, which makes me laugh. i like toWatch The Office Online and Watch South Park Online. thsee are nice shows. i never missed any eppisodes....
Almost any Family Guy character. Stewie Griffin is #1. I can watch almost anything with Stewie and just tear up laughing on the worst day of my life. Ari Gold, half the characters in The Office, especially Dwight and Michael, Larry David, Bender from Futurama, Eric Cartman, Mr. Burns, and last but not least, Sheldon Cooper, who is probably the most original and unique character on television...and I don't like network sitcoms so for me to list a character who's on a show with a fucking laugh track really speaks to just how fucking funny he actually is. There's a lot more but I guess those are the main ones.
Also, I know he's not the type of answer you'd expect here, but I can't help myself. Michael Cole has been absolutely killing me for months on end.

I've grown to despise shows with laugh tracks as well but I still watch the Big Bang Theory.
