Stupid characters are generally my least favorite, but some of them are absolutely great.

Let's do this by show

1. Lisa Douglas (Green Acres)

Lisa is absolutely hilarious, I cant get enough of the way she is always getting words confused, like the time she said "Why do you want to irritate the corn?" "not irritate it, irrigate it, pour water on it" "But wont that irritate it?" and the time the Ziffel's came over to consult Oliver, and Lisa said "Oliver dear, the Ziffel's are hear to insult you"

2. Coach, Woody Boyd (Cheers)

Coach was absolutely great, just the way he failed to grasp so many of the things that were going on. Also the way he was always talking about his Hit By Pitch records.

Woody was great because he was just incredibly simple minded, and would always tell great antecdotes that didnt even relate to the subject ("My Grandpa once caught a rat the size of a pig..or was it a pig the size of a rat")

3. Peter Griffen, Chris Griffen (Family Guy)

Peter is funny because he says things unbelievably stupid all the time ("Lois, are you crazy, women cant drive")

Chris is funny because he is just entirely akward

4. Christmas Snow (Three's Company)

Chrissy is funny because she is always talking about truth and honesty, and it gets them into great situations (such as the episode about Roper's car). Chrissy is also great because she tends to treat people like they are stupid, and make terrible analogys that make absolutely no sense.

(Note: I dont particularly like Cindy or Mr Furley, which is why they weren't mentioned as stupid people I liked in Three's Company)

5. Dale Gribbald (King of the Hill)

Dale couldn't be more stupid or pathetic. They are constantly making jokes about how weak he is. It also went on for so long not knowing about the affair between Nancy and John Redcorn (he never found out, but the affair ended). Dale also has great conspiracy theories, that are generally completely ridiculous

Woody from Cheers, He was so funny..other than that, Roscoe from Dukes Of Hazzard...

Vinton Harper - Mama's Family "Thanks a lot, Mama!"
Willie Gilligan - Gilligan's IslandVinton Harper was pretty savy(smart) on the NBC episodes(he got dumbed down when the series became syndicated)As far as Gilligan goes,yes,he was dumb but on the first season black and white episodes(and some color episodes :the ones with Jonathan Kincaid,the one with the mind-reading seeds,the episode "Not Guilty",episode ,and the episode with the savages who capture the Castaways,and he (smartly)uses the Keptobora Juice used to cure his eye problems to scare the savages away-AND IT WORKS!(In this one,only the Skipper chastises him-the others are glad to see him),he had some common sense,and used it at times.

^yes, but I think most would vote Gilligan 'stupid'.

Also, Roscoe from Dukes of Hazzard. I love him!

How about three characters that DIDN'T start out dumb(at first they were pretty smart):Jethro of "The Beverly Hillbillies",Eb on "Green Acres",and Mr.Kimball of "Green Acres"

Another one was second season's Herman Munster.By that,I mean that in second season,one minute he was portrayed as a loving ,pretty smart father,and the next minute a stupid boob.

Buddy Lembeck on Charles In Charge

And here's another one-Gov.Gatling on "Benson".He was lovable,but not very bright.

Chrissy Snow
Phoebe (Friends) and her twin sister Ursula (Mad about You)
Ray (Everybody love Raymond)

People might disagree but Kramer from Seinfeld, esp in the early seasons, seemed a bit on the slow side.

Eddie Haskell-Leave it to Beaver (not sure if he counts as dumb, but he was annoying)

And here's another one-Gov.Gatling on "Benson".He was lovable,but not very bright.

True, but he did get smarter as the series progressed. :D

And on "Get Smart",on the CBS shows,Larabee was the dumb one.,but didn't start out that way.Max on "Get Smart",on the CBS episodes was somewhat intelligent,still bumbling,but intelligent.but on the NBC episodes he was not very bright ,hence the name "Get Smart".After all,CBS should have realized that the show was called "Get Smart",NOT "Get Larabee".
