    Tom Petty Guest

    you had me at buttnugget.
     
  2. I'm not voting in a poll that has half the cast of the sucktastic fail-a-thon Night Court, but not one mention of Steve motherfucking Urkel.

    Fail, fail, fail.

    I'll go off the board with Chuck Noblet (Stephen Colbert) from Strangers With Candy.

    Don't get your suspenders and white socks in an uproar, Write-brained.

    Gob Bluth has to be up there for me, with Dwight Schrute right behind.

    Pound for pound, and the Merv Griffin Soundstage probably puts him over the top for me,

    Kramer.

    And Costanza is pretty damn close.

    Already voted, but damn, you're right about Joey. Coming from a guy who has only recently made reluctant peace with Friends, Tribbiani was a fantastic character.

    Big, I'm not so sure.

    Chandler rarely missed when he delivered a comic line. Even when he wasn't trying.

    He's one of my favorite actors, especially in movies.
