    Trigger

    Trigger was class one of my favorites is when Cassandra finds out she was pregnant and there all talking about names for the baby.

    Trigger the eejit turns around and says " I think they should name the baby Rodney after Dave" his blank expression gets me everytime.

    Steve Carells Michael Scott is great too, and I have to say I prefer Niles to Frazier for his many neuroses and petty snobberies. :)

    Both Blackadder and Ron Swanson have already been mentioned

    I have nothing further to contribute

    Charlie Kelly might deserve a mention though

    Have you seen him in episodes? Thoughts? I liked it myself.

    I'm surprised of all the OFAH mentions no one has said Boycie, what a character he was!

    I loved Trigger in OFAH.

    Always take care of your broom.
    This old broom has had 17 new heads and 14 new handles.

    Watched him in The Old Guys with Clive Swift as well.
