For me, it's a tie between Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter and Basil Fawlty.

Before I even clicked the link, I was thinking "Homer Simpson."  Good choice, Printer!
:)

And of course, I agree with Bobby, Basil Fawlty is one of my all time favorites, too!

archie bunker. he was loved by conservatives and despised by liberals. as the series drew on, he showed more depth, he was still cantankerous but curbed his views in light of the times.

I don't know how severe Archie Bunker was as a character (I have never seen All in the family) but it's British counterpart called Alf Garnett was an incredible masterpiece created by the excellent Warren Mitchell.

Homer Simpson because he's one of the most realistic characters I've ever seen portrayed on TV.

Indeed it did. If you haven't seen Steptoe and Son, take a look at it. It is probably as close to tragi-comedy as I have ever seen.

Well, on the serious side I would choose John Crighton (in reality Ben Browder) from "Farscape" because in a word, he's dreamy!!! In TV from the past but still shown on Comedy Central I would have to say Rozanne Rozanadana (in reality the late, great, Gilda Radner) who  unfortunatly & I might add very sadly passed away a few years back from ovarian cancer!    I have never laughed so hard as when Gilda did one of her many hysterical characters from the original SNL!!!  Then of course there's "The Chicken Lady" from "The Kids In The Hall" & last but definatly not the least  there's always Stuart from Mad TV, he's REALLY a hoot & there are sooo many kids like him in real life!!!  There are just too many, to narrow it down to just one!!!

Yes - but you should really check out the original.  Sanford and Son isn't a patch on it!

Do you think that he just uses a false idetity to get the interviews? "Like, Hi Im Adam from The London Free Press, and our readers have very little knowledge about the work that you do... I would like you to answer a few questions. And if I seem to not understand, it's because English is my second language. I may ask you to really spell some of the trems out for me... define things that you'd regularly think a person would already know." That's the funniest thing... when he gets people to define the simplist thing. Did you see the one where he got all of those people to sing along with his anti semetic western song? It was over the top. I wonder if any of those people knew that they were saying such aweful things.
