    Mark from Peep Show is great, a great mixture of self loathing and insecurity. Honorable mentions to Jez, Johnson and Super Hans.

    Creed from The US Office. He was a minor character but brilliant!

    From the main characters, Dwight Schrute.

    Sir Humphrey Appleby in Yes Minister/Prime Minister

    Amazing cast chemistry but he's the perfect mix of beaurocratic, devious, charming, intelligence and I love when he gets put in his place or when his schemes fall apart.

    Woody from Cheers and Kramer from Seinfeld were both great characters.

    Neil Flynn always made me laugh as the Janitor in Scrubs. He went to other sitcoms such as The Middle but Scrubs was his finest funny.

    ‘The Fall & Rise of Reggie Perrin’ also spawned a couple of catchphrases. The thing with Leonard Rossiter I found was it that it was difficult to see him as anyone other than Rigsby in ‘Barry Lyndon’

    'Mrs Bouquet(Bucket) lady of the house speaking' in keeping up appearances. Really the whole cast from her long suffering husband, to her sisters and inlaws that mortified her with how common they were😁.

    Obviously everyone in Only Fools and Horses, yes I loved Del Boy but Rodney was always my favourite, I was always hoping that one day he would break away on his own.

    Fr. Dougal aswell, I must love the hapless ones😁

    Scrubs another fantastic comedy like Modern Family that could on a dime flip between hilarious and suddenly touching.

    Impossible to pick one so ill do a little cheat....

    George Costanza in Seinfeld was based off Larry David who went on to play a semi (or wholly!) biographical version of himself in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

    That character/ those situations...thats my number 1.

    Frank 'Grimey' Grimes… the Simpsons.

    He is me. At work. Every day.

    I'm saying you're what's wrong with America, Simpson. You coast through life, you do as little as possible, and you leech off of decent, hardworking people like me. Heh, if you lived in any other country in the world, you'd have starved to death long ago. You're a fraud, a total fraud.

    Frank Grimes would probably point out that The Simpsons is not a sitcom. I wouldn't point it out though.

    I never really watched Keeping up appearances the first time round and wouldn'thave appreciated how brilliant Patricia Routledge is in it. I watch the odd repeat now, her comic timing is fantastic and a joy to watch.

    There were so many sitcoms in the 70’s & 80’s, The Liver Birds, Steptoe & Son, Citizen Smith, Just Good Friends, Love Thy Neighbour, Robins Nest etc etc

    Genial Harry Grout in Porridge. Only appeared in three episodes, plus the spin off movie, but certainly made his mark.

    Similarly Bishop Brennan only appeared in three episodes of Father Ted but he's one of the most memorable and rounded characters.

    Both Peter Vaughan and Jim Norton appeared together in Sam Pekinpahs Straw Dogs .

    I love so many:

    Nigel Craine from Frasier

    Colin Robinson from what we do in the shadows

    Moss from the IT crowd.

    On the IT crowd I have to say Jen is really underrated, particularly the actress who plays her. That is a really hard balance to strike with her, since Jen is such a terrible person, it's hard to make her likeable.
