    For me it has to be Charlie Day.

    All of The Gang can be vile creatures but Charlie seems to have the most empathy about him. For me he's the funniest too.

    Also:

    Day Man. The single greatest thing ever in Sunny.

    Mittens for Kittens.

    His tenacity for The Waitress.

    He gets high like no other man

    He's the wild card.

    Poll added. When you vote please give us a few lines behind your choice.

    I expect Dennis to walk this based on general consensus Ive read on here and elsewhere but it'll be interesting to see who comes second.

    Used to be Charlie but now Dennis, he's just a horrible human being and is completely deluded about himself with no redeeming qualities.

    Ranking the characters is counterproductive to enjoying the show I find. Depending on the episode Dee could be the funniest or the McPoyles could come in and steal the show. I haven't really enjoyed the evolution of Mac's character though, I feel he used to be a lot funnier. When they do their splits I always found Mac and Charlie to have the most chemistry and then have Dennis berate Dee on the other end of the spectrum. But yeah, the good thing about the show is that there are no bad characters.

    Franks facial expressions are priceless but Charlie gets my vote because he has a way of stealing a scene even when he's just a bit player in it.
    But what about Dee, I love how she is not singled out as the only female there and treated differently, she is as funny if not funnier than the lads and she's not afraid to show it.

    And very easy to miss some of them.

    Im rewatching it at the moment and if the camera shot is on all of the gang I try to just keep my eye on Frank. Danny De Vito's decades and decades of experience shine through here ;)

    Find Dennis absolutely great. He is basically a sociopath at this stage.

    Mac. I find his false sense of importance and twisted logic hilarious

    And his ability to switch sexual preferences when the situation requires it ;)

    I'd say my favourite would be Dennis, but there really aren't any weak characters. In saying that I could live without Frank.

    I would have probably said Dee is my least liked character, but then I watched a clip of her 'best bits' and some are absolutely brilliant!!

    Mac for me is my favorite. I love the whole god loving gay bashing but yet he is clearly a homosexual. And of course his ninja skills are great.

    In fairness they all contribute excellently to the show. No weak link in the cast.

    I find any story involving both Charlie and Frank brings out the best in both their characters. Especially when there in the apartment together

    Surprised but glad to see Charlie is running away with this.

    I've only seen the first four episodes... I found it pretty funny.

    Is it worth sticking with? I was looking for another comedy series for when I finish Community.

    I really couldn't pick. I think they are equally good.

    Dennis is now catching up with Charlie numbers wise. Who is voting for the McPoyles? ;)
