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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    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...

    Chandler Bing (Friends)

    Being witty, funny and sarcastic is Chandler's thing, come on Chandler Bing, humour king


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Chnandler Bong.

    Bundy was fun and all but he doesn't hold a torch to Chandler.

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭Reberetta


    Al Bundy. He basically carried the whole show while Chandler had great support.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    Chandler. Funny guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,421 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Like both but there is more to Chandlers humour, his delivery is excellent.

    Vote chandler.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,034 ✭✭✭Ficheall


    Chandler. The Friend we'd all like to have. Unless there were a possibility of sleeping with Rachel if one were friends with her, though I guess those chances are slim.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,498 ✭✭✭Yester


    Bing a Ling after going out with Janice he def deserves a win.

    I dunno, all the lads had a dalliance with Rachel at some point through the show.

    Just sayin :D

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,010 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Al, much preferred married with children

    Interesting... I shall certainly bear that in mind when she's up next.

    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 Green (Friends)

    Rachel Green.
    Because Friends are one of my favourite TV shows of all time and I can watch it on repeat!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,498 ✭✭✭Yester


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


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,010 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Dr Cox by far the better character of the two


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,034 ✭✭✭Ficheall


    Necro said Rachel would sleep with me, so she gets my vote. Cox is great too though.

    Rachel because she is great, iconic and not to bad to look at either

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Dr. Cox.

    Best character left in the comp by a country mile.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I have no idea who’s left in competition. Is the older Doctor Kelso from scrubs through?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭eldamo


    i don't think bobbo was in it from the start


    Your Top 8
    Hawkeye Pierce (M*A*S*H)
    Al Bundy (Married… With Children)

    Ron Swanson (Parks & Recreation)
    Rachel Green (Friends)
    Niles Crane (Frasier)
    Lucille Bluth (Arrested Development)
    Perry Cox (Scrubs)
    Chandler Bing (Friends)


    Is that where we are at?


    Something in my gut (possibly lower) is pulling for miss green


    yeah, rachel gets my vote,



    sorry perry


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton

    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

    Hahaha.

    Wait till I run the best GOT character for some serious killing.

    Or Omacks Cartoon Wars starting this weekend I believe :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭eldamo


    i would actually love to see an interaction between ron swanson and niles crane now that it has come down to so few.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    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)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    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!

    Semi Final 1

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

    Rachel Green (Friends)

    NY v Indiana v Seattle!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    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.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭eldamo


    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.

    Rachel, all the main characters in friends were fun. She seemed down to earth and good humoured, except when on a break.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,485 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Rachel, she knows fashion goes from bad waitress to working at Ralph Lauren


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,716 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Niles, he was pure brilliance

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,187 ✭✭✭FVP3


    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.
