3 isn't many is it?

Here's mine

Jill Tyrell-Nighty Night
David Brent even though he annoys me so much
Basil Fawlty

Now people will come along with theirs and I'll think I've chosen the wrong ones!

ButtMuncher · 01/02/2018 19:02

I'll swap Rimmer for Malcolm Tucker actually.

Weezol · 01/02/2018 19:02

Jeffrey in Fresh Prince
Diana Trent in Waiting for God (I want to be her when I'm older)
Fletcher in Porridge

goforkyourself · 01/02/2018 19:05

I've got Malcolm Tucker mixed up with Cameron Tucker?

Anymajordude · 01/02/2018 19:06

Alan Partridge
Margot Leadbetter
Malcolm Tucker

And as an extra Sir Humphrey Appleby

Anymajordude · 01/02/2018 19:08

But I also love Bernard Black and Officer Crabtree. So hard to choose.

Nottheduchessofcambridge · 01/02/2018 19:09

OP yabu to ask us to pick just 3! I have picked and repicked my 3 after reading through this thread! I cannot commit to 3!

All of Blackadder

All of Ab Fab

Margot in Good Life

and of course everyone from Acorn Antiques, the funniest thing ever written...ahh happy sigh.

EastMidsMummy · 01/02/2018 19:47

Buffy? House? Dawson’s Creek? Sitcoms?

In that case my favourite sitcom characters are Alan Hansen (Match of the Day), Po (Teletubbies) and her off 60 Minute Makeover.

Sparklingbrook · 01/02/2018 19:54

Yes, I think there are definitely some non sitcoms on the list.

So mine are Zippy (Rainbow)Emma Willis (everything) and Rob Lowe because he's hot. Grin

mmack · 01/02/2018 20:12

Janitor from Scrubs(who is just as good playing Mike Heck), Uncle Bryn and Lois from Malcolm in the Middle.

Strummerville · 01/02/2018 20:15

This is way too hard...I thought of three immediately, then read the thread and agreed with loads more. So just gonna have to go with my first thoughts

Sterling Archer
Rick Sanchez
GOB Bluth

(But also really want to say Abed Nadir, Leslie Knope, Lucille Bluth, Pam Poovey, Niles Crane, Michael Scott, Howard Moon...)

Rachie1973 · 01/02/2018 20:16

Del Boy

Hyacinth Bucket (It's Booouqeeet)

Possibly Miranda, or Chandler Bing,

Rachie1973 · 01/02/2018 20:18

BlueNeighbourhood1

Will from The Inbetweeners - Because he reminds me of me! He's so brilliant, awkward and funny and has the best one liners.

Feisty one you are!

TheFallenMadonna · 01/02/2018 20:20

And for radio...

Captain Martin Crieff
Mr Birling
Mr Gently Benevolent

Tessliketrees · 01/02/2018 20:20

Leslie Knope (if I could make one TV character real and move in with them it would be Leslie).

Sterling Archer.

GOB Bluth.

Latter two are both terrible but hilarious.

FawnDrench · 01/02/2018 20:21

Norman Stanley Fletcher - Porridge
Basil Fawlty
Sir Humphrey Appleby - Yes Minister

Rachie1973 · 01/02/2018 20:24

The votes from my DH

Ben Parkinson - Butterflies

Baldrick

midsomermurderess · 01/02/2018 20:24

The only one I can think of, and sadly he is long dead, is Richard Beckinsale.

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 01/02/2018 20:26

Andy Dwyer from Parks and Recreation.

Actually the entire crew of parks and rec ;)

orangesandpeaches · 01/02/2018 20:34
