favorite secondary TV character.

Awhile back we talked about favorite TV characters.
What about those who make the show or episode that aren't the stars.

Shows like
It's Always Sunny
The Office
Dick van Dyke
Parks and Rec
Seinfeld
were superb in their casting of these characters.

My favorites off the top of my head are

Liam McPoyle from Sunny
Ernest T. Bass from Andy Griffith
Jerry Helper from DvD

There are many who can steal an episode.

Who are your favorites?

As of now I'm still in the room!
Let's keep this rhetoric to ourselves shall we.

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I'm not sure about a fire.
Maybe a spark at best.

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Outstanding!

Completely outside the box thinking.
Never would have considered her as a choice.

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Great choices.

Although I thought you might go Rick or TC or even Zeus or Apollo.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77426) 7 years ago

Zeus and Apollo deserved an Emmy...just saying
C'Mon Hollywood...

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

If they got their own show I would probably watch it.
Now I'm just saying. ;)

[–] thewaitress (1616) 7 years ago

Cricket from Sunny
Todd Packer from the Office
Ralphio & his sister ( played by the beautiful Jenny Slate) from Parks and Rec

The moment I see Cricket on Sunny, I start dancing and saying crickettttttt! just like the gang. Excited. I know its going to be a great episode.

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Cricket is awesome.
Nice choice.
I was so happy when they gave him his own episode. A Cricket's Tale
From glory holes to crack the guys a legend.

Jenny Slate is great. She's done a couple Drunk History's and is hysterical.

These are really good picks.
Mostly because I could see myself picking all of these.
You're of course brilliant. ;)

[–] thewaitress (1616) 7 years ago

Indeed he is a legend! The Gang Exploits a Miracle, looking at that young fresh faced man and knowing what he turns into hahaha.

Oh yeah? I haven't seen her on Drunk History, haven't watched that show more than twice.

;) back at ya since I liked your choices as well. Jerry Helper! I watched DvD when I was 9 or so and I still remember him.

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Is he the top recurring character in that show?
Other than thewaitress of course.

Drunk history is one of my favorite shows on TV.
Not only is it funny but I learn more about history watching this than I ever did in school.
Great guest stars too.
Some of them bring tears to my eyes they're so funny.

I just love the Dick van Dyke show. Maybe my favorite of all time.

[–] thewaitress (1616) 7 years ago

I think Cricket has only been on 9 or ten episodes and I feel like I've seen Liam McPoyle way more than 9 episodes. I'm not sure though. I'll have to google search it.

Sounds like I might be watching some drunk history Jenny Slate yt clips before work today. :)

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Liam -7 episodes
Cricket - 19 episodes
Waitress -26 episodes

Being married to Charlie Day certainly has his advantages!

If you do watch it let me know if you liked it.
She really is funny. More so if she's smashed!

[–] thewaitress (1616) 7 years ago

It certainly does! :D
Of course, I'll let you know what I think. I bet she is hilarious drunk.

[–] croft_alice (12180) 7 years ago

Oswald Cublepot aka the penguin

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77426) 7 years ago

Is that Gotham?
I have heard good things about Gotham

[–] croft_alice (12180) 7 years ago

Indeed it is,he's my favorite villain from the show

Always in the shadows

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I know you like this show croft.
I'll say he looks the part for sure.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 7 years ago

Gabrielle (Xena The Warrior Princess' sidekick) played by Renée O'Connor.

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I have seen a few episodes of this show and did remember her in it.
Solid pick.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 7 years ago

She's pretty much like how Robin to Batman if Batman is a lesbian and Robin is a hot babe.

[–] sslssg (34223) 7 years ago

I always liked Delores Herbig from Dead Like Me played by Christine Willes

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Never even heard of this show.
Is this a one and done show?
Looks like it got good ratings.

[–] sslssg (34223) 7 years ago

There was a movie that came out a few years after it ended, but I don't think it was worth the watch. The show on the other hand I really liked.

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Niles,Martin or Daphne from Frasier
Karen and Jack from Will and Grace

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Martin is a great character.
I really like that show but haven't seen it since the original run.

Never watched WG but have seen episodes here and there.
Those two together were magnificent. What great chemistry.

[–] somesunnyday (2078) 7 years ago

I love Cricket in Sunny

Also Super Hans in Peepshow

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Whole lot of Cricket love goin' on here!
