    Niles Crane. He is my favourite sitcom character. I love Lucille too but Niles wins.

    Winning our Second Quarter Final and moving on to the Semis by a 6-3 vote, its Niles Crane as Lucille Bluth's run is over...

    Quarter Final 3

    It's a legend of comedy and football (4 touchdowns in 1 game, in case you hadn't heard) taking on only the third funniest Friend here...

    Not at all a dangerous strategy with boards running so f**king smoothly at the moment and me definitely seeing all the gifs... :D

    I can see this one though, and I'll accept gifs as a reason for the Quarters, but everyone will be required to give actual reasons for the Semis and the Finals if they want their vote to count, and because in a tie situation the best reasons will most likely swing the vote.

    Didn't actually expect anyone to reach the 10 vote Quota set for the Quarters, but Chandler Bing has only gone and bloody done it by a 10-2 annihilation as Al Bundy exits for good! I still love you Al!

    Quarter Final 4

    One more spot left in the Semi's, so who's giving you a semi here...

    Rachel because she is by far the superior character. Cox only got this far because people like saying Cox.

    Happy enough now that the last one I definitely do NOT want to win is out. Any of the others I'd be fine with winning.

    I'm going to go with Cox here. Because he's more bangable.

    And because he's funnier. He can rattle off a list of insults that would leave Rachel speechless.

    He's an unashamed jerk. Whereas Rachel is unaware what a spoiled bi-atch she could be.

    The Final Quarter Final here is between Rachel Green and Dr Cox

    One of them will be joining Ron Swanson, Niles Crane, and Chandler Bing in the semi-finals

    Kelso didn't make an appearance in the competition

    EDIT: eldamo beat me to it

    Thanks guys.

    Hmmmm it’s a toughy this one but I think I will go for Dr Cox as he was great at the put downs but beneath all the insults, he was a little softy.

    The winner of our final Quarter Final by a 6-5 vote is Rachel Green who takes out Dr Cox in a close battle

    giphy.gif

    And we're not wasting any time at all, as the first Semi-Final is coming up in just a minute or so for a 1pm kick-off.

    No more vote Quotas! For the Semi-Finals, the Most Votes at the end of 90 minutes is the winner!

    Reasons have never been more important!
    -Give a good reason with your vote as the best reasons will heavily sway my decision in the event of a tie.
    -Even if you've already used a reason before, there's no harm in using it again, as there has been some solid reasons given along the way.
    -If your reason here, however, is because you hate the other character or show they're from, that's not likely to win any favours when I'm breaking a tie...
    Better to give a reason For the character you're voting than Against the other

    Your Semi Finalists
    Ron Swanson (Parks & Recreation)
    Niles Crane (Frasier)
    Chandler Bing (Friends)
    Rachel Green (Friends)

    Most votes after 90 Minutes is the winner! Don't forget to give a reason or your vote won't count! Stronger the reason the better!

    Back to Back battles here for Rachel as she now takes on the eccentric Niles...

    Rachel.

    Hotter, more iconic, part of a much better show imo also.

    Also if she's good enough to beat Perry Cox I'm backing her for the overall win.

    Niles!!!!!

    Because DHP plays him brilliantly. And his interactions with Frasier, and Daphne, and Martin, and Roz in the early seasons when they hated each other. And for his never seen relationship with Maris.

    Niles, because I would rather a no friends final than an all friends final.

    seriously funny character, expertly played, I have a sneaking suspicion that he may be geordi laforges favourite too.

    Niles Crane. Genuinely one of the funniest characters on TV, very flawed, very funny. His little asides are just brilliant and the diversity of the relationships he has with the rest of the case make him the best character in the show.

    Niles vs Rachel is a tough one. I will go with Rachel, although she would lose to the other Crane if he is still in it. Jennifer Aniston has great comic timing.
