Best Character of All Time...

The guy who says to McKay, "Have a hot dog!" then "Have a soda!" and then reaches back and punches him in the face. Brilliant character development.

actually i would have to say that the guy in the elevator was way cooler......"u no supposed to be here"

How could you ignore the guy who harrasses McKay in the bathroom (just before he gets punched... quite a day)? Remember, he talks about a heaven-sent opportunity since McKay is busy at the urinal. He says, "You're *beep* your father was *beep* You come from a long line of *beep* Then he's interrupted by one of McKay's staffers and he demurs, but then delivers the wondrous line, "Am I right or am I right?"

I preferred the "what do you think of my dog" guy...

yeah...the "what do you think of my dog" guy was pretty unforgettable. I couldn't tell at first if he was just joking or menacing.
