Original Homer Simpson

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-10-2009 8:55pm

Randy! Randy! Randy!

delos · 08-10-2009 8:59pm

Surely Marty Crane deserves an honourable mention here?

amacachi · 08-10-2009 9:03pm

Stan or Hal, can't decide.

Miguel_Sanchez · 08-10-2009 9:03pm

Danny DeVito in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Ok he's not really their Dad as it turns out.

Shryke · 08-10-2009 10:10pm

Homer was great but The Simpsons isn't the same anymore. Peter is tempting but it's the entire cast that pull the show through. Peter on his own is just... retarded. Hal is great and I'd almost give it to him, but I voted Randy. The best South Park character hands down.

I thought this was America!!

Epic Tissue · 08-10-2009 10:12pm

HAS to be Homer

L31mr0d · 08-10-2009 10:15pm

Hal for me, that guys a legend.

ronnie3585 · 08-10-2009 10:23pm

Frank Costanza.

admiralofthefleet · 08-10-2009 11:03pm

jim royle

(voted for hal)

J-blk · 09-10-2009 7:00am

Hal, definitely - best one easily.

the_syco · 09-10-2009 7:02am

Stan (American Dad)

Max Headroom · 09-10-2009 8:14am

Peter first..but i like Hank Hill too...

EdgarAllenPoo · 09-10-2009 8:59am

Ben Harper from My Family.

How Soon Is Now · 09-10-2009 9:10am

Feck this was hard lol. There all funny in there own way think this how id put it though.

1.Hal
2.Homer
3.Peter
4.Randy

I just love Hal in Malcolm in the middle i swear he is one the most funny loveable members of any tv family. The noises he makes the stuff he says and just overall crazyness is so fecking funny.

Im thinking that episode now where dewey is selling choc bars for school Hal wants him to win so he can get the jumping boots or the race car HAHAHA the little videos they show of what he is thinking in his head are just so fecking funny typical Hal moments perfect Malcolm in the middle stuff. Things like that and the reason he is an actual actor not an animated person puts him ahead the rest.

ekevosu · 09-10-2009 9:36am

What about Al bundy from married with children

My favourite is probably Hal though

Saint_Mel · 09-10-2009 10:42am

Peter Griffin ...
"You're drunk again."
"No, I'm just exhausted 'cause I've been up all night drinking."

speedboatchase · 09-10-2009 1:05pm

Has to be Randy, Simpsons has got so bad and really just relying on slapstick for Homer these days.

Some classic randy was when he was pissed and got pulled over and calmly, cooly says, "what seems to be the officer problem?" or his cheesy "THAAAAAANKS" to the other guy in a Hybrid car

admiralofthefleet · 09-10-2009 1:48pm

forgot about al from married with children, legend

peg would be best comedy mum

ShagNastii · 09-10-2009 2:49pm

Thought Randy Marsh, then Art from king of queens then someone said Jim Royal.

Really central character, the TV dad. All are general great.

hamrog · 09-10-2009 2:56pm

Arthur Spooner from King of Queens wins hands down!

Ooh, old school. Al would be the grand daddy of all modern bad-dads, so he doesn't count, as he obviously transcends the poll.

Of the ones in the poll though, Randy wins. Sitting around in his underpants, with 5 days of stubble on his face, playing Chase the Dragon on Xbox simply can't be beet.

RandolphEsq · 09-10-2009 4:15pm

Homer's best bits win it for me

Reginald P. DuM · 09-10-2009 4:15pm

Yeah I'm surprised Al Bundy aint on the list. So I protest by not voting!!
Homer comes in next, Hal and Peter Griffin then. Frank Gallagher (Shameless) aint too shabby either..

geecee · 09-10-2009 7:11pm

I'd have to Second the nomination for Frank Costanza.

Not only is he Georges dad in Seinfeld...
Hes also Ben Stillers real dad!

Now thats comedy pedigree!

IronMan · 09-10-2009 7:15pm

Randy from South Park, even though Hal has his moments, the poor chap.

Ryaller · 09-10-2009 7:54pm

Put Frank Costanza in that poll right now.

JP Liz · 09-10-2009 8:53pm

Marty Crane from Frasier

Corkfeen · 09-10-2009 9:20pm

Hal, gotta love the man.:D

ScouseMouse · 09-10-2009 9:27pm

Has to be Eugene Levy - Jim's Dad in American Pie.

"Jim. I'd like to talk about masturbation....."

Classic stuff.

Jax Teller · 14-10-2009 5:20pm

no one really likes tat peter griffin chap at all

The Sparrow · 14-10-2009 7:07pm

Has to be Frank Costanza. Quite simply the best comedy dad ever.

How can you have a best comedy dad poll without Frank Costanza???:eek:

razorblunt · 14-10-2009 9:29pm

Classic Homer hands down.

Stan Marsh a close second.

Honourable mention to Bishop Len Brennan!

the whole year inn · 14-10-2009 10:43pm

ok going to say
Michael Bluth
George Bluth
Gob Bluth

all dads and damn funny would have to say Gob is the best.What about Frasier Crane,Ari Gold

Marty Crane
Frank Costanza
Arther
Al Bundy all must be added to the poll right now!

PrettyBoy · 14-10-2009 11:19pm

Homer was good but hasn't been for the last 10+ years. Hal is brilliant, easily the best (and most likeable) character in Malcolm in the Middle. Peter is great too but I think Randy wins this one!

"What seems to be the officer, problem?" :P

Al Bundy is up there too and I think Julius (from Everybody Hates Chris) deserves a mention!

KnifeWRENCH · 15-10-2009 1:38pm

George Bluth Snr.
For teaching his kids those "lessons" with the one-armed guy.

Deedsie · 15-10-2009 1:46pm

Hal Wilkerson Brilliant character

Best New Comedy Dad - there can be only one..

Phil from 'Modern Family'

425.modernfamily.Burrell.ty.lc.093009.jpg

"I'm cool dad, that's my thang. I'm hip, I surf the web, I text. LOL: laugh out loud, OMG: oh my god, WTF: why the face"

"Am I attracted to her? Yes. Would I ever act on it? No, no way. Not while my wife is still alive"

"Jay and I are buds, for sure, but with kind of um, an invisible, asterisk. Um, he's not the, he's not a talker, or, or hugger. Once he ran over my foot with his car. But in his defense, he had just given up smoking, but basically we're buds"
