Funniest Tv Comedy Characters……..That You Either Lived Or Hated!

[Smowball]

Just caught 10 mins of comedy series DINNERLADIES, and was in hysterics at the character Bren’s mother, played by Julie Walters. Omg she was absolutely brilliant - but I guess you either loved her or hated her. Guess that goes for the whole series tbh lol.
Any others??

My all-time favourites, are-
Blackadder
Only Fools and Horses
Fawlty Towers

I liked some of Dinner Ladies, but didn't think it was great.

I loved the Likely Lads - the original series, not the Whatever Happened To. But apparently hardly any episodes exist any more, they got taped over.

The worst I have seen, are-
Last of the Summer Wine
Allo, allo
Dad's Army

This list is probably endless, if you count old "comedians" too :-)

[tiggerblue10]

Blackadder for me too. And Red Dwarf, The Office and Extras.

[jno]

I couldn't stand Allo Allo either, but what didn't you like about Dad's Army, pixie?

[pixie374]

Jno, I only saw some because my parents were watching at the time. It just seemed old-fadhioned and obvious.

[jno]

that was pretty much the point, I think, pixie: it was old-fashioned wartime stuff, no satire, no swearing. It was also character comedy rather than slapstick and one-liners, the laughs came from watching characters you knew interacting with each toher.

I loved Monty Python most, and disliked ... most things, I suppose, going back to Terry and June and the Flintstones (I don't think we had telly before that). But I always had time for Dad's Army.

[pixie374]

Fair enough, jno. I also didn't understand Monty Python at the time. Each to their own :-)

I agree with you Smow - LOVE dinnerladies and Julie Walters is an excellent actress, she was brilliant in that !

Only Fools and Horses is my all time favourite though.

Oh sorry, I didn't realise Smo meant characters. So, Del Boy and Rodney in Only Fools and Trigger too.
