[Silent Alarm]

No one epitomises the real human like George Costanza. The fact he was basically Larry is the best part. I mean, most people are spiteful and selfish and somehow accepting of it. As funny as he is an indictment and sociological study.

Yeah Basil Fawlty is one of the greatest characters of all time, Manuel is a great character too.

I prefer Manuel & talking of MASH Hotlips is right up there, so is Radar & .................. all the characters on MASH were brilliant.

Guys like Alan Alda & Rowan Atkinson just cant help but make great characters.

H.R.Giger's Alien is definitly a perfectly realised creation and strikingly original. Predator is okay and all, but for sheer genius, cant go past the xenomorph.

 

[Gough]

It's dated a bit, but it's still funny.

My favourite 20 (hopefully the universe doesn't mistake it for a death list) - not necessarily what I consider the best characters, but just ones I like for one reason or another (childhood humor, favourite actors i.e. Rowan Atkinson, favourite superhero's etc):
-Batman
-Sherlock Holmes (Doyle's version more so than the movies)
-Homer Simpson
-Eric Cartman
-Randy Marsh
-Barney Stinson
-Mr Bean
-Black Adder
-Basil Fawlty
-James Bond
-Santa Claus
-Rambo
-Neville Longbottom
-Wolverine
-Tyler Durden
-Superman
-Yoda
-Darth Vader
-Golem
-Daffy Duck

My list is kind of weird, I mean clearly Longbottom, Santa etc aren't the 20 best of all time. But they are still in my favourites.

[rayven]

This guy nearly lost his marriage from infidelity and also was a borderline alcoholic, at one point.

Imagine if this movie had flopped?

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Vader may have been Luke's father, but for a whole generation....

[RedmanWasHere]

Mr. Squiggle, Basil Fawlty, Chance, Sassy and Shadow from Homeward Bound.

 

[liam_13]

Sterling Archer.

YES! Completely missed him. And Krieger/Kreiger is not a bad character either.

Optimus Prime is awesome as well.

Missed a few, looking back at my list my first 10 or so had a lot of effort, the next 10 were characters I liked but Archer and Optimus Prime would join the first 10
