How could Ed O'Neill not be on this list for Al Bundy?

Creed from the office is deadass one of the funniest characters I’ve seen period

[marinafishman]

“You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person!” Is and always will be my favorite line of Michael’s

[aspiretoinspire]

Michael scott's endless faux pas and failure to understand social boundaries made for countless hilarious moments. He is one of the reasons the show remains so rewatchable and it explains the drastic dip in quality when he left.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[fantasyeve]

Also for Phil Dunphy, when he loses his optimistic edge, he goes so far off into left field, it just adds to the hilarity. That Fulgencio episode was amazing lol.

Jake Peralta, Barney Stinson, Chandler Bing..the comedy kings in my opinion

[hayleydouglas]

Barney and Sheldon should be a lot higher on this list - they both made the shows they were in so much better

[nathanstrange]

"I am not superstitious, just a little stitious" - Michael Scott

[danperry]

You forgot Al Bundy he gave America so many laughs in the 90s between his back and forth with his neighbor Marcy or cracking jokes on fat women at the job he hated at a shoe store he always had me cracking up

[kaminariishida]

In Brooklyn 99 I loved Terry, his face has ability to show every emotion in funny way.

[RandomSmileyBob]

The fact that Red Fox wasn't even on the honorable mentions is just sad. Shame on you Watch Mojo, shame!!!

[Jamal-vfmp]

George Costanza made it to the list but not Kramer? At least he deserves to gets mentioned in the honor mentions

[phantomrequim]

Chandler was the best character on Friend's, and the most relatable.

Shocked, saddened, and DISAPPOINTED that they didn’t include a single Community character. And Its Always Sunny on honorable mention?! They must be smoking crack. Any one of those characters from both shows are funnier than the majority of shows on this list

[jeronimoalester]

Stinson only 19th??? Not even in Top 10 for his character development and creating such memorable quotes and Brocode???

[kyleferguson]

No love for Al Bundy? Married… with Children basically was the bridge to modern darker humor comedy!
