    whats your favourite character?

    mine has got to be Arnold Judas Rimmer.
    in the words of Ace Rimmer, "the mans a maggot".

    I gotta say Kryten. The guy's a legend. The amount of different guises of Kryten he's played: No-guilt-chip Kryten, reset-to-factory-settings Kryten, low Kryten, high Kryten, Kryten-with-emotions.

    Either him or the low Rimmer. The shot of Rimmer coming down the stairs in the FrankNFurter costume was the funniest part of Red Dwarf EVER.

    Got to be kryten or Rimmer!

    Lister : "Kryten, electrical appliances are not supposed to give you a double polaroid!".......or something along those lines!

    Cat : "Gangreen!?!?! hey that might just work!"

    Mine would probably have to be Kryten! This is one of my favourite Kryten scenes:

    LISTER: (Holding up a banana) Okay, let's try again. What is it?
    KRYTEN: It's a banana.
    LISTER: No, it isn't. Try again. What is it?
    KRYTEN: It's a banana?
    LISTER: (Exasperated) No, it isn't! What is it?
    KRYTEN: It's an urrrr.... It's an urrrr....
    LISTER: It's an orange! Go on, say it. It's an orange! This! Is! An
    orange!
    KRYTEN: It's an orrrr... It's an orrrr... It's a banana! It's no good,
    sir, I just can't do it!
    LISTER: You CAN do it, I'm gonna teach you how! (Holding up an apple)
    Okay, what's this?
    KRYTEN: It's an ap...
    LISTER: No, no, no, what is it?
    KRYTEN: Oh, it's no good sir, I just can't lie! I'm programmed always to
    tell the truth.
    LISTER: Kryten, it's easy! (Holding up the apple) Look: an orange.
    (Holding up the orange) A melon. (Holding up the banana) A female
    aardvark!
    KRYTEN: Oh! Oh, that is just so superb, sir! How DO you do that?
    Especially calling a banana an aardvark? An aardvark isn't even a
    fruit! It's total genius!
    LISTER: (Beat) Let's start again.
    KRYTEN: Oh, sir, my head is spinning. We've been doing this all morning!
    LISTER: Kryten, I'm gonna teach you how to lie and cheat if it's the last
    thing I do. I want you to be unpleasant, cruel, and sarcastic; it's
    the only way to break your programming, man -- make you independent!
    KRYTEN: Well, I'm truly grateful, sir. Don't you think I'd love to be
    deceitful, unpleasant, and offensive? Those are the human qualities I
    admire the most! But I just can't do it.
    LISTER: You CAN!
    KRYTEN: I CAN'T!
    LISTER: (Picks up the banana again.) Look! What's this?!
    KRYTEN: No!
    LISTER: What is it?
    KRYTEN: Please!
    LISTER: Come on, what is it?
    KRYTEN: It's a b... It's a b... It's a small, off-duty Czechoslovakian
    traffic warden!
    LISTER: Yes, you did it, you did it! (Holding up the orange) What's
    this?
    KRYTEN: It's a red-and-blue striped golfing umbrella!
    LISTER: Kryten! Yes! (Holding up the apple) What's this?
    KRYTEN: It's an apple.
    LISTER: No! What is it?
    KRYTEN: It's a... it's a... it's, it's, it's the Bolivian Navy on
    manoeuvres in the South Pacific!

    I suppose Rimmer, even though he can be awfully annoying, he's had some of the funniest lines.

    It's hard to choose, really.

    When I was younger I really like Cat.

    Rimmer


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 545 ✭✭✭OY


    My favorite lines ever...

    Rimmer: "Step it up to red Alert..."
    Kryten: "Are you absolutely sure sir...it does mean we have to change the light bulb!"

    Classic. And for that i have to say Kryten.

    Where is the poll???
