A lot of shows have one - the classic sitcom dumb character. Who are some of your favorites? Here are some of mine.

In alphabetical order going by the show’s title

Eric Matthews (Will Friedle) - ‘Boy Meets World’
Buddy Lembeck (Willie Aames) - ‘Charles In Charge’
Coach Ernie Pantusso (Nicholas Colasanto) - ‘Cheers’
Woody Boyd (Woody Harrelson) - ‘Cheers’
Troy Barnes (Donald Glover) - ‘Community’
Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) - ‘Friends’ (& ‘Joey’)
Gracie Allen (Gracie Allen) - ‘The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show’
Rose Nyland (Betty White) - ‘The Golden Girls (& ‘The Golden Palace’)
Ed Norton (Art Carney) - ‘The Honeymooners’
Kelly Bundy (Christina Applegate) - ‘Married … With Children’
Peter Tork (Peter Tork) - ‘The Monkees’
Matthew Brock (Andy Dick) - ‘NewsRadio’
Andy Dwyer (Christ Pratt) - ‘Parks & Recreation’
Cody Lambert (Sasha Mitchell) - ‘Step by Step’

Vint Harper: Mama's Family
Barney Fife: The Andy Griffith Show
Gomer Pyle: The Andy Griffith Show & Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.
Waldo Faldo: Family Matters
Kimmy Gibbler: Full House
Vera Gorman: Alice
Everyone (LOL): Green Acres

:lol: Dennis Day(Dennis Day)-The Jack Benny Program, Ed Norton(Art Carney) The Honeymooners, Gilligan(Bob Denver) Gilligan's Island

Barney Fife would definitely top the list. He's one of the funniest sitcom characters of all-time. When Don Knotts left the show after five season to do movies, The Andy Griffith Show lost its zaniness as well as the chemistry between Knotts and the eponymous star.

Larabee Get Smart :lol: :rotflmao: :rofl::brent

Bob Denver as both Maynard & Gilligan, two great and funny characters.

Barney, Gomer, Goober, and Floyd from the Andy Griffith Show.
