Laughter is the best medicine : what characters make you literally LOL? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Dean Winchester · 09-02-2005, 02:06 AM

I have been watching Taxi's third season on DVD and realized how many times I have actually laughed out loud at the Rev. Jim Ignatowski character. So that made me wonder.....

what TV characters have made you literally laugh out loud instead of a small smile and tiny laugh?

others I can think of:
the entire cast of Seinfeld
Sophia (Golden Girls)
Roseanne & Jackie (Roseanne)
Phoebe (Friends)
Carla (Cheers)
Mork (Mork And Mindy)
Arnold (Diff'rent Strokes)

sure there are others, but those are ones that spring to immediate mind.
