If you could be in a popular sitcom...

...which one would you love to be in and why?

Imagine living over in the States and making your way to a studio every morning, onto a set and rehearsing/acting out scenes that you know will be watched by millions. I'd say the whole experience would be great craic. You only have to go to Youtube to see the outtakes from some of them, I would love to be part of that. The Friends, Seinfieldand Will & Grace out takes are particularly funny.

So for me, I would love to be on the Big Bang Theory. I think I would slot into that cast quite well. I'm a combination of all of them characters (apart from Penny haha).

You're a Jewish, squinty, Indian, tall, short, sleazy aspie with a huge ego who is terrified of women while at the same time has no interest?

Arrested Development. Hours of endless fun that family!

Also OP, you really need to watch better sitcoms! :pac:

kfallon · 22-09-2011 09:20AM

Jesus wept, the mind boggles at what people think about!!!

Curb Your Enhusiasm. I'd love to have one of those stare downs with Larry, and the quirky music in the background

F*ck yeah! Although that's not really "situation comedy". More "forced amputation sans comedy". But good choice nevertheless.

I'd love to be Moss' mate. Richard Ayoade is such a talented fella. I'd broaden that to any of Linehans shows. Or Spaced.

listermint · 22-09-2011 09:28AM

Has to be Entourage , Has to be!!!!!

rednik · 22-09-2011 09:34AM

Blackadder just to keep Baldrick on his toes.

SEPT 23 1989 · 22-09-2011 09:37AM

Only Fools and Horses

Snakeblood · 22-09-2011 09:39AM

It's always Sunny in Philadelphia. It'd be the best hanging with Charlie and Mac.

Simon Adebisi · 22-09-2011 09:56AM

Parks And Recreation. Because i want Ron F**king Swanson to be my boss. And id get to work beside April

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 22-09-2011 10:01AM

Weeds. Duuuuuuuuuuuuude.............

orourkeda · 22-09-2011 10:02AM

Not a sitcom.

I'd love to go on the piss with Jimmy McNulty and the bunk from the wire

smash · 22-09-2011 10:07AM

Jenna Jameson did that "America's next big porn star" series, does that count?

Dotrel · 22-09-2011 10:09AM

Not strictly a sitcom but Saturday Night Live 1975-1980. Could do some major drugs and drinking backstage with John Belushi and co .... and then do the show.

tony 2 tone · 22-09-2011 10:23AM

Two and a half men........... SO I COULD KILL THEM ALL!

The monkey priest from Fr.Ted. Very easy to remember my lines!

blaze1 · 22-09-2011 10:35AM

Entourage, so i could wind up Ari Gold and here more of his insults...

Cúnt Muscle

Lady Chuckles · 22-09-2011 10:42AM

That's 70's show

I get to wear 70's clothes and be silly at the same time. Oh heaven!

buswankers · 22-09-2011 10:43AM

It'd have to be Modern Family...... Hanging with Phil "P Dawg" Dunphy would rock!

steelcityblues · 22-09-2011 11:13AM

Always wanted to be an extra in the diner of Seinfeld.

ejmaztec · 22-09-2011 11:16AM

I'd like to be the canned laughter in Friends.

starlit · 22-09-2011 02:19PM

I'd gel quiet well in the sitcom 'how I met your mother' or 'IT Crowd'!

Preety preety preetay good.

KnifeWRENCH · 22-09-2011 02:34PM

I'd go with Scrubs. It jumped the shark long before the end but the early seasons were quality. And it looked like such a fun show to be a part of with all of JD's daydreams. Who could resist being part of the Love Train?

Yep. And I could stalk Haley and Gloria and Claire.

rossie1977 · 22-09-2011 02:39PM

one of the main male characters in friends obviously, by season 9 and 10 they were getting paid $1million an episode

123balltv · 22-09-2011 02:41PM

My fav sitcom Cheers I'd be Diane and Sam would be chasing after me with his wise cracks
loved the Sam/Diana years never liked kirstie long even when she was slim the
show changed when Shelley left

VenusPlays · 22-09-2011 02:45PM

Modern Family cos its the funniest thing on TV right now and my surname totally fits.

castletownman · 22-09-2011 02:56PM

Frasier. I have the same fits of anger as Bulldog Briscoe but also the same sophistication of the Crane brothers and I'd say it fit right in with Martin and the boys in McGinty's.

Oh and I'd give Roz a good rattle.

Samich · 22-09-2011 02:58PM

Dougal from Fr Ted

Was just about to say that, cause you would get to hang around with Phil

deathrider · 22-09-2011 03:01PM

I reckon if I was in a sitcom, I'd rather be the actual caharacter than the actor. Unless of course the sitcom was The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, in which case I'd be both at the same time.

22-09-2011 03:03PM

King of queens. I'd love to be the guy Arthur shouts at!

bicardi19 · 22-09-2011 03:35PM

Has to be shameless!!!!

Dangerous Man · 22-09-2011 03:45PM

Family Guy. Yeah, I know it's a cartoon. So what?

CrazyRabbit · 22-09-2011 05:26PM

Big Bang Theory also for me.

I know a real life Sheldon-type guy, but he's not funny.

Napper Hawkins · 22-09-2011 05:43PM

Pretty much anything Graeme Linehan or Chris Morris had something to do with.

Deus Ex Machina · 22-09-2011 06:55PM

The Office. Looking at some of the outtakes on YouTube, there were occasions when Gervais and co literally couldn't say the lines they were laughing so much, they went to 30 takes a few times for this reason!

cml387 · 22-09-2011 07:05PM

The Major in Fawlty Towers.
Only worried about whether it's 5:30 yet.
And to deliver one of the great lines:

American guest: This is the worst hotel in England.
Major: Nooo,I won't have that. There's a place in Eastbourne

Catari Jaguar · 22-09-2011 08:10PM

I'd love to have been in Freaks and Geeks or anything by Judd Apatow that would kickstart my Hollywood career and lead me to star alongside Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Jason Segel.

Other than that, Parks and Recreation, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Modern Family.
