    It's all perspective isn't it? I could never stand Phoebe in Friends. I'm sure some people liked the character though.

    Xmas special there was pretty funny. You may not find it funny but you can't say it's not funny. If that were the case it wouldn't have the following ot has.

    Everybody Loves Raymond was absolute quality. Ray Ramono created and wrote a lot of it. His character's whininess was intrinsic to the whole dynamic between all the characters.

    His role was just to react and comment on the madness aroundhim.

    He's not a good actor at all and this was a particularly noticeable in the early seasons so getting him to do much more than what he did wouldn't have worked.

    Hard to find an unfunny character in OFAH. Some deserved more than one episode like the singer in "It's Only Rock and Roll." :)

    Phoebe from Friends. Awful, just awful.
    Rachel from the same show. Anyone as nastily materialistic as her is way beyond being amusing.
    The Grandad in Mrs Brown. The gags around him are all a bit weird and borderline creepy.
    Not sure if it counts as a sit-com but Lisa from The Simpsons.

    Oh and this one will no doubt be unpopular but Jack from Father Ted.

    Hand on heart, I have never even smiled at it, so for me it's not funny.

    Joey from Friends.

    First few seasons he was okay. After that, he became so f*cking stupid to the point of actual mental retardation.

    He had this cult following. He was rarely funny due to him being way OTT stupid...

    Ross and Chandler were without doubt the two naturally funny characters.
