Funniest part in a TV serial?

[Martin Aigner]

What do you think is the funniest part/actor in any TV serial? Personally I love Arthur from King of Queens.I like the show, though I do think that it´s not the funniest ever shown on TV, but this guy Arthur is just awesome.

Any thoughts

Kramer on Seinfeld

Niles on Frazier

Jim Ignatowksi on Taxi

Latke Gravas on Taxi

Archie Bunker on All in the Family

Mork on Mork and Mindy

Lucy Ricardo on I Love Lucy

Frank on Everybody Loves Raymond

Monk on Monk

A little scary that two of my favorite characters were named Mork and Monk.

Is a serial kinda like a series except foreign?

[WEASEL45]

I think Ricky Ricardo and Fred Mertz are both funnier than lucy

[jakethebake]

A little scary that you thought Mork was funny. I always preferred Jim to Latka, and George to Kramer(let the flames begin). Barney Miller and MASH were loaded with great characters too. Cliff Clavin on Cheers? How does anyone choose a favorite?

Homer from the Simpsons
Lenny Briscoe from Law and Order

"A little scary that you thought Mork was funny."

I thought Robin Williams was the funniest person I had ever seen the first time I saw him. Still do.

Lord Flashheart from Black Adder. Only in a couple of episodes, but they are memorable.

I always preferred ... George to Kramer

The funniest character on Seinfeld was Frank Costanza and it isn't even close.

I agree about Robin Williams. Lately though, he seems to have lost his edge..

When he was young I always thought he was a little too fruity, kinda like Billy Crystal & Tom Hanks. He just annoyed me. I like him much better now, Hanks too. Crystal is still too fruity.

Robin Williams is to comedy what Jay Buhner is to baseball....an analogy that is probably lost with most people

you have to seriously question the intelligence of any man who thinks kramer (even though he is ridiculously funny and good in the show) is a funnier character than george.

i could see this, but george is more of an "every show" character.

Great choices, I would like to add George Kastanza from Seinfeld, I always thought he carried the show.

[M2d]

Fred Sanford
Coach (from Cheers, not from Coach)
Jack Macfarlane
Lowell from Wings

Mandy Patinkin in Chicago Hope.

George Costanza is probably the funniest character in the history of television. A close second is Homer Simpson.

[andyfox]

He definitely had the funniest line. When Steinbrenner comes to tell him that George has died, he's silent for a few seconds and then blurts out, "How could you trade Jay Buhner!"

Phil Hartman on News Radio.

David Brent from "The Office" on BBC. It's on DVD and well worth renting. There are two seasons of six episodes each. Hilarious stuff (and I'm not usually a big British humor fan).

[Monkeyslacks]

George Bluth Sr. from Arrested Development. Probably the funnniest thing on tv right now.

[dr. klopek]

I think Larry David is hilarious on "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

I think that the supporting characters make the show. Like Millhouse, Mr. Bookman (the library detective from Seinfeld), Zap Branagan from Futurama (way underrated), and Vinnie from Doogie Howser M.D.

Agreed, although Buster is my favorite.

[Paluka]

Homer Simpson
David Brent from The Office
Professor Farnsworth from Futurama
George Costanaza

I'd forgotten about Don Knotts as Barney Fife on the old Andy Griffith Show. A remarkably funny character.

Also the guy who played "Angel" on The Rockford Files.

Reverend Jim from Taxi. Hands down the funniest character ever on TV.

I always liked Henry Blake and Frank Burns from MASH.

Sledge from Sledge Hammer.
