Apart from Homo Novus, of course. Any other beloved comedic characters?
Adina and Patsy on Absolutely Fabulous. Yes I know it's girly but I love how shameful and rebellious they are.
Maxwell Smart from
Get Smart. The 60s version with Don Adams, obviously.
Here we go, list of my favourite characters from various favourite comedies (In no particular order because THAT'S NOT FAIR):
- Edward, Tubbs, The Dentons, Papa Lazarou and Pauline (The League of Gentlemen)
- Blackadder
- Frasier and Niles Crane, Daphne (Frasier)
- Abed, Troy, Dean Pelton and Chang (Community)
- Tom and Linda (Gimme Gimme Gimme)
- Dougal and Mrs. Doyle (Father Ted)
- Old Gregg, Vince, Howard, Naboo, The Hitcher, Bob Fossil and The Moon (The Mighty Boosh)
- Dick, Sally, Harry, Tommy (basically everyone from 3rd Rock From the Sun apart from August)

I developed a strange fondness for Sideshow Mel and Moe (awkward spelling) Syzslak for a while...
And I totally ship Mr. Burns and Waylon Smithers.

I had to put the entire cast because it's hard to choose. The entire show, especially the first 8 seasons, were amazing do-not-miss TV.
