Many TV shows, especially sitcoms, contain that one character that everyone else in the series makes fun of to get a laugh out of the audience.

Mel on The Dick Van Dyke Show would have been #1, if this article wasn't written by millenials with limited television volcabulary

I would say..

Curley from The Three Stooges.

Beaver on Leave It To Beaver.

Dick on Newhart.

Screech Saved By The Bell.

Phil Modern Family.

Bev’s Friends on The Goldbergs.

Sheldon on Young Sheldon.

Screech is another good example. You can also add Kimmie Gibbler from Full House to the list.

I think that Al Bundy was pretty bullied. Everyone around him lived to insult, mock and insult him, even the customers at the shoe store!

It's a listicle on a clickbait site. That's their target audience.

Dorothy from the Golden Girls. Always being called ugly.

Worst yet, some of those writers aren't even American. I've found more Canadians, Brits and Aussies writing these pop culture articles about American culture than Americans. That's what's particularly frustrating about this. Why write about a culture that you were never a part of and about stuff that was before your time?
