The Funniest Character in Sitcom History? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

If you could pick ONLY ONE, who would it be? One male and one female.

I think it's George Jefferson. Nobody makes me laugh as much as he does.

And Lucille Ball. She was a hoot. There was nobody like her, and I doubt there ever will be.

If I only had to pick one, I'd pick Darrin Stephens (as played by Dick York). His facial expressions were hilarious, and the situations his witchly in-laws got him into were priceless. "SAMANTHA!!!"

Oh man, are you serious???? Only one!!!???? Ok, I guess I will choose Arthur Spooner on King of Queens. That dude makes me

soooo much. I swear, I can't eat or drink anything while he speaks cuz I know he will make me laugh.

I changed it to one male and one female.

Alrighty now...let me see...

Well, I have always loved Lucille Ball, so I will choose her for obvious reasons. She is the Queen of Sitcoms.

catlover79 · 03-04-2007, 10:53 PM

For a female, I'm going to say Marie Barone. She reminds me so much of my own grandma, and Doris Roberts was just perfect in the role.

Of course Lucy always pops to mind, but Irene already mentioned her and I wanted to go for someone a little less famous.

Lucille Ball, I Love Lucy

Carroll O'Conner, All in the Family
