    Barney Stinson.

    The only character that was consistently funny in that show.

    We don't ever talk about the way they ended it though :/

    Yeah, Barney I guess. 3rd Rock is a better show by far, but Barney is a better character.

    Again, I only saw the first two series of It's Only Sunny, before giving up (and Frank wasn't even in the first series IIRC), but I really disliked any bits of TPBs that I saw, so I'm going with a reluctant Frank.

    (but Dob, or the Janitor would be better than either - just saying!)

    Frank Reynolds - no doubt. He's the best character in It's always sunny and steals the show most episodes. Rum ham!!

    Look we're getting nearer to the Secondchance Showdowns where any of the eliminated contestants could be in with a shot to earn their way back in the game...

    Soon, my friend, soon!

    Frank Reynolds. Danny devito must have some sense of humour to settle in so well with that gang, he is frequently the funniest thing about it too.

    Have watched all of tpb, it was grand, enjoyed it at the time but no point going back. Bubbles unfortunately not a patch on Frank.

    Frank has inspired my own personal search for a bang maid.

    Frank Reynolds destroys Bubbles and Danny DeVito gets a second character of his through to the next round making him the most popular actor in the tournament...

    Match 51

    One of my favourite characters ever is in this one, so I can't with the commentary right now, okay, so just vote while I go cross my fingers and wish really hard...

    Niles Crane - if someone told you the type of character he plays in Frasier, you'd be wondering how he's the funniest on the show. But he is

    I liked Darlene from Roseanne, definition of a grunge kid, but up against stiff competition there

    Niles Crane. One of the funniest characters ever written.
    I loved Darlene but Niles edges it.

    Darlene puts up a fight, but its the wonderful Niles Crane who gets the 4 votes required to advance first.

    Match 52

    It's Silly versus Serious in this match as mad as a hatter Dharma takes on the efficient and organised Claire...
