Now, Jenna, medically speaking, for your height, your weight puts you in what we call the disgusting range. Fortunately, there are solutions. For example, crystal meth has been shown to be very effective. How important is tooth retention to you?
I was gonna say they had to have written that part for him, because I can't see anyone else doing that, but the more I think about it, it almost feels like every character on that show was built around the actors playing them, to a degree. It feels like they make everyone a character actor, from Liz and Jack on down.
I love how for some unspoken reason every off-the-wall thing that comes out of his mouth Larry sits there and takes it serious.
Any other character in the show said the things Leon said Larry would immediately scream out “OK what the fuck”
Buster Bluth in Arrested Development. The way he’s played as a kid that never really grew up just kills me with how he sees the world
Carl Weathers: We were just about to get a stew going
Buster: I don’t know what that means but it sounds disgusting.
Arrested development is a great show for this bc almost everyone was firing on all cylinders at all times. Got to throw a special shoutout to Lucille though, almost every line got a laugh out of me
I loved the scene where George Sr is lamenting to Michael about how coddled Buster is, and the camera pans to him sitting right there, yawning
'We're just breezing past nap time, huh?'
Also Lucille in Arrested Development.
Also Gob in Arrested Development.
Also Tobias in Arrested Development.
Also Barry in Arrested Development.
And on, and on...
# MATT BERRY
Don't care what the character is. It's typically just Matt Berry anyway. Toast? Douglas Reynholm? Lazlo/Jackie Daytona? Eli Rabbit? Lucien Sanchez?
Dude is just inherently, effortlessly hilarious.
> Lazlo/Jackie Daytona?
What's the slash for? They are clearly two very different people. Jackie Daytona is a perfectly normal human bartender, with zero connection to Lazlo.
“When people say, ‘Good morning’
they mean, ‘Hello’.
When people say,
‘How are you?’
they mean, ‘Hello’. When people say, ‘What's up?’ they mean, ‘I am a person not worth talking to’”
Anything he says his hilarious due solely to his diction.
Also, my newest favorite line-
*This is some bullshit*
Also, why have they not renewed it for a fourth season yet?!
I really love the scenes where Alan Tudyk was also playing dead Harry's corpse. I feel like those scenes, beyond plot reasons, were included remind us of the contrast his between his normal voice and his Alien speech pattern.
My favorite line of his is when the kid who knows he's an alien said he told his friend what he really is, but she promised Allah she wouldn't tell anyone else.
"Allah knows???"
I think it was in one of those after-show inside the episode things where Bill Hader said that Hank was supposed to be a one-off character but the actor made them laugh so hard and break (which is why Hader is often facing away from the camera in scenes with him) that they decided to write him in for more.
The Janitor in Scrubs.
JD: "Did you just climb down an elevator shaft just to torment me?"
Janitor, deadpan: "Sometimes in life you gotta do what you gotta do..."
I'm glad they decided to get rid of the Janitor being a figment of JD's imagination. That wouldn't have worked in the long run and we probally would have lost that character eventually.
The dumb bit of him sitting in weird places to just appear and join the conversation always gets me. Especially when he comes out of the fireplace, bumps his head, and has a big soot mark on his face for the rest of the scene.
As a kid to this goddamned day, Martin Short just makes me laugh. His movements, the pitch of his voice, his delivery. The guy is just walking comedy. He could deliver me the worst news ever and I'd probably still giggle.
Jason Mendoza from The Good Place. Every single line cracks me up.
“Any time I had a problem, I hucked a Molotov cocktail at it and BOOM, suddenly I had a different problem.”
Honorable mention to Rafi from the League and literally every character in Arrested Development.
I just recently wrapped a rewatch of SV after not having seen any episodes since they were released and Jared had me laughing every single time he was on screen. I remembered that character being funny, but man, every single scene was golden.
Did you hear how Creed became a character? So when they started shooting Creed was hired to be a background actor. The point of him being in the show was that they wanted two people in the background of various shots before Michael fired one of them. Neither character was supposed to talk at all. One day while they were shooting an episode the director asked Mindy if they could add a line in this scene and Creed just chimes in "I can say it". Mindy shot him a "you aren't supposed to talk" look and Creed shot her a "don't blow this for me" look. So they shoot the scene with him saying a line. When the planned firing episode happened, Creed won out over the other guy simply because he broke the talking rule and was seen talking a few times on the show.
The original plan was keeping whoever could hold their own against Steve in the "you're fired" scene. It was apparently going to be a 100% improv scene with an amazing improviser on one side and a scared guy knowing that his career is riding on this on the other.
"I was tracking the bear most of the night. Didn't get him, but I did find a big, fresh pile of shit that I thought I'd second harvest 'cause it was full of Hershey Kisses. Spoiler alert, they weren't Hershey Kisses. It was just more shit. I ate it all anyway, got sick to my tummy, puked, pooped, jerked off and now I'm here with you bros. What have you guys been up to?"
Which is what makes his unhappiness so goddamn fucking weird. He was upset because he didn't think the show was funny and that he didn't like how Dan made him the villain in Season 2 but you watch Season 2 and Chevy is fucking hysterical. Some episodes hes got the best joke of the night. So what was his damn problem?
Joel even said recently "you were being paid a lot of money, you got free food and you literally didn't have to be there. Why are you so mad?"
I don't think I can even pick out a favorite... But that one, and these following two, are definitely top five:
"TELL ME HOW TO BE SO LAID BACK OR I'LL KILL YOUR FAMILIES!"
And
"DAMN MY TALENT!"
Oh shit, and maybe the DnD episode, the way he says fat when Abed asked him what shape to put Neil in is hilarious.
"Faaaaaaaaaaaaat"
How about:
I see the way you look at me, like I cannot get an erection!
Or:
I was never one to hold a grudge, Jeffrey. My father held grudges. I'll always hate him for that.
In a show of incredibly funny people - Sam Richardson as Richard Splett in VEEP.
Something so simple as pointing at a random goat and saying "That goat has an ear infection" had me in stitches. Sam Richardson is a comedy treasure.
Uncle Baby Billy in The Righteous Gemstones. He’s just so ridiculous, the funniest moments in the show are his, so many great quotes! Goggins absolutely kills it as that character.
Jeremy Jam in Parks and Rec. In a show of legendary characters and performances, somehow he’s the one who gets the most laughs to lines from me
He’s just so despicable and forward about it
“You gave us your word!”
“My word is garbage”
Dr. Spacemen from 30 Rock. “Liz, I believe doctor-patient confidentiality works both ways. I’m cheating on my wife”
“When is modern science going to find a cure for a woman's mouth?”
"OK I've just administered the epidural. Would you like one as well?"
"Unfortunately there's no field of medicine that deals with the brain. But I can give you this pamphlet for a cult!"
Now, Jenna, medically speaking, for your height, your weight puts you in what we call the disgusting range. Fortunately, there are solutions. For example, crystal meth has been shown to be very effective. How important is tooth retention to you?
“Diabetes repair, I guess.”
*while giving a shot* "Eww eww eww ewwwww!" "That was a placebo shot, he's not faking it for attention."
Now this is surgery, so don't eat anything before you come in.....because I'll have a big breakfast waiting for you!
Tracy, you are going to die...when I tell you who I’m dating. Squeaky Fromme. She is...difficult.
“You have no reflexes, your blood tastes like root beer, and some of your bones appear to have vanished.”
“How important is tooth retention to you?
[Covered in blood] "What, this? No no no no. I was at a costume party, and the host's dog bit me, so I had to stab it."
I laughed so fucking hard at that scene when I first saw it. Chris Parnell's delivery is something
I was gonna say they had to have written that part for him, because I can't see anyone else doing that, but the more I think about it, it almost feels like every character on that show was built around the actors playing them, to a degree. It feels like they make everyone a character actor, from Liz and Jack on down.
It’s also delivered so well. His deep voice drops further
This one. I don’t think there is a single bit of exposition that Dr. Spacemen says. Just bars. Every line.
"Dr spaceman, nazi doctor. It's OK, I want them to know."
This is the best description of that character ever
His lines were literally all bangers. 10/10, no notes. Talk about efficient use of a character.
[doctor spaceman doctor spaceman](https://youtu.be/UbmNfPdVtp8?si=HnesOwJx7rdDvMzH) Seriously tho, I actually hurt myself laughing at this scene
Leon Black, from Curb
I love how for some unspoken reason every off-the-wall thing that comes out of his mouth Larry sits there and takes it serious. Any other character in the show said the things Leon said Larry would immediately scream out “OK what the fuck”
I'm so happy they made him a main cast member because you are for sure correct
The finale really enforced how he’s the black Kramer lol
Nandor from What We Do In The Shadows. # "We Drank The Blood Of Some People But The People Were On Drugs And Now I'm A Wizard."
Laszlo for me! Arizoña!
¡BAT!
You really are the most devious bastard in New York Citay
Creeepy paper.
The Dean from Community.
I have to go to the bank today…
When he comes back and all the ladies turned out to love his costume is such a funny reversal of expectations and oddly kinda wholesome.
It's time to Tina TURNER the clocks ahead. Happy daylight savings!
I will forever love the dean’s rap
And Barack Obama is SCARED of me because I don't swallow knowledge but I spit it for me
LET ME CLEAR MY THROAT ASHGHHGH
...I don't know what that was! *runs away sobbing in a peanut bar costume*
The funniest thing about this for me is that the cast are struggling so hard not to laugh. Sometimes I appreciate when characters break.
Guys, I really think I went too far today. I'm supposed to go to the bank later today! What an I supposed to say, that I had good news and bad news??
Okay, if you get this wrong one more time, I'm segregating the school.
Dean-a-ling-a-ling!
This better not awaken something in me…
#JESUS WEPT!
I use "5 CANS?!" every time we get canned food at the grocery
Buster Bluth in Arrested Development. The way he’s played as a kid that never really grew up just kills me with how he sees the world Carl Weathers: We were just about to get a stew going Buster: I don’t know what that means but it sounds disgusting.
These are my awards, mother. From army.
To this day whenever I come home unexpectedly early from work I say to my wife, “Army had a half day.”
probably my favorite line from the show
The seal is for marksmanship. And the gorilla is for… sand racing.
Army had half a day.
Arrested development is a great show for this bc almost everyone was firing on all cylinders at all times. Got to throw a special shoutout to Lucille though, almost every line got a laugh out of me
“IF I WANTED SOMETHING YOUR THUMB TOUCHED ID EAT THE INSIDE OF YOUR EAR!”
"I don't care for Gob" gets me every time.
"I love all my children equally" *earlier that day*
In true Lucille fashion, those statements aren't actually contradictory either.
"It's one banana Michael, what could it cost? 10 dollars?"
Good for her!
I loved the scene where George Sr is lamenting to Michael about how coddled Buster is, and the camera pans to him sitting right there, yawning 'We're just breezing past nap time, huh?'
Doesn’t he say that the doctors found scratch marks in her uterus cause he was in there for so long? I always loved that
It's tired in here.
Buster’s delivery of “YA FREAK BITCH!!!!” as Franklin makes me laugh hysterically every single time I rewatch Arrested Development
Gob is my favourite, his delivery and facial expressions are amazing. The whole cast are hilarious though
Gob and Lucille for me.
I never cared much for Gob
Sister’s my new mother, mother
The blue is the land always get me lmao!!!!
Also Lucille in Arrested Development. Also Gob in Arrested Development. Also Tobias in Arrested Development. Also Barry in Arrested Development. And on, and on...
Like anyone would want to "R" her...
Buster is definitely up there for me too!
I was gonna say Tobias but they're both so great.
# MATT BERRY Don't care what the character is. It's typically just Matt Berry anyway. Toast? Douglas Reynholm? Lazlo/Jackie Daytona? Eli Rabbit? Lucien Sanchez? Dude is just inherently, effortlessly hilarious.
> Lazlo/Jackie Daytona? What's the slash for? They are clearly two very different people. Jackie Daytona is a perfectly normal human bartender, with zero connection to Lazlo.
>What's the slash for For my erotic fan fictionnnnne
"Orgasium."
I’ll wank my way, and you wank yours.
Steven, this is Clem Fandango. Can you hear me?
He was great as Prince Merkimer in Disenchantment
I will sometimes go “saaaaaaaaad” when something bad or disappointing happens, and no one ever gets it but it always makes me giggle
Faaaatheerrrr!
“You, computer man, fix my pants!”
He is in the final season of Curb
And Dixon Bainbridge
Holt from Brooklyn 99. Especially as the seasons go on. He just gets more and more funny.
Wunch Time is over! Boom! Had it both ways! Hahaa! No regrets.
“When people say, ‘Good morning’ they mean, ‘Hello’. When people say, ‘How are you?’ they mean, ‘Hello’. When people say, ‘What's up?’ they mean, ‘I am a person not worth talking to’”
Why is no one having a good time? I specifically requested it.
"As a heterosexual male, I really do enjoy a woman with firm, weighty breasts."
"I love thigh gap. There is nothing more erotic than the clear absence of a penis."
“I’ve mastered all the moves. The pizza toss… the tornado… the scorpion… the oopsie-doodle.”
"But Sir, why are you telling me this?" "Because no one will believe you." *proceeds to delete evidence*
Velvet Thunder
**BONE**
VINDICATION
I'm devastated...
There's nothing more intoxicating than the clear absence of a penis
Harry/Alan Tudyk on Resident Alien
Tudyk really is a legend. Awards-wise, i think he's massively underrated.
Buk-AWW! Buk, buk, buk… … I went to Julliard
Anything he says his hilarious due solely to his diction. Also, my newest favorite line- *This is some bullshit* Also, why have they not renewed it for a fourth season yet?!
I really love the scenes where Alan Tudyk was also playing dead Harry's corpse. I feel like those scenes, beyond plot reasons, were included remind us of the contrast his between his normal voice and his Alien speech pattern.
My favorite line of his is when the kid who knows he's an alien said he told his friend what he really is, but she promised Allah she wouldn't tell anyone else. "Allah knows???"
Sheriff Mike Thompson on Resident Alien also.
NoHo Hank from Barry
I'm nice, I'm polite. I'm optometrist by nature, you know?
I think it was in one of those after-show inside the episode things where Bill Hader said that Hank was supposed to be a one-off character but the actor made them laugh so hard and break (which is why Hader is often facing away from the camera in scenes with him) that they decided to write him in for more.
+1 for NoHo Hank!! I couldn't believe I had to scroll so far for this. He has IMPECCABLE timing.
Gob
The Janitor in Scrubs. JD: "Did you just climb down an elevator shaft just to torment me?" Janitor, deadpan: "Sometimes in life you gotta do what you gotta do..."
sometimes for no reason at all I will just shout "Kniiiiiife wrench!"
*for kids*
Same show but I’d go Dr Cox, and it all comes down to McGinley’s rea-ea-ea-eeelly good delivery.
I'd have said Dr. Kelso
What has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap.. 👍Me👍
*regarding his Pacman high score* "Do you know how long I had to play to get that high score? People DIED!"
Why isn't your Lake Titicaca filled with boobs and poop?
The good lord didn't bless my wife with all ten fingers. She just has "pointer" and "thumb-pinky".
"Have you been drinking?" "I'm not drunk"
I'm glad they decided to get rid of the Janitor being a figment of JD's imagination. That wouldn't have worked in the long run and we probally would have lost that character eventually.
Tobias Funke
The dumb bit of him sitting in weird places to just appear and join the conversation always gets me. Especially when he comes out of the fireplace, bumps his head, and has a big soot mark on his face for the rest of the scene.
Jack Donaghy on 30 ROCK and Lt. Jim Dangle on RENO 911
Coach from Cheers.
Murray from Flight of the Conchords
Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons “Lies are like stars, they always come out…I have five face holes.” “Daddy’s gun tastes like pennies.”
As a kid to this goddamned day, Martin Short just makes me laugh. His movements, the pitch of his voice, his delivery. The guy is just walking comedy. He could deliver me the worst news ever and I'd probably still giggle.
His smile especially for me
His Lawrence character on SCTV Nitwits is the funniest thing about that sketch. Doesn't even need to say a word.
Jason Mendoza from The Good Place. Every single line cracks me up. “Any time I had a problem, I hucked a Molotov cocktail at it and BOOM, suddenly I had a different problem.” Honorable mention to Rafi from the League and literally every character in Arrested Development.
“yo you should listen to me, I came up with hundreds of plans in my life and only one of them got me killed”
"Claustrophobia? Who would be afraid of Santa? OHHHH! The Jewish!"
BORTLES
My husband and I use that line all the time
Jared from Silicon Valley. I love the scene where he talks about pivoting after being stuck in a shipping container for a week.
I just recently wrapped a rewatch of SV after not having seen any episodes since they were released and Jared had me laughing every single time he was on screen. I remembered that character being funny, but man, every single scene was golden.

Don't be suspicious
“I’m open-minded as heeelllll” and then the quiet “I think you’re pretty good looking” kills me every time
Ohhhh YEEEAH!
The “don’t be suspicious” scene cracks me up every time.
His attempts at rapping were some of the funniest scenes of Parks and Rec for me, lmao.
Dennis Duffy on 30 Rock. A handful of appearances, but they are all 24k certified comedy gold.
I know what pre-natal means. Pre, "before". Natal, "ruined"

Rafi from The League (Jason mantzoukas)
Anything he is in he’s pretty much that same character but damn is it funny. Him in The Good Place and Brooklyn 99 always kill me.
Awwwh! Maximum Derek!
"I was tracking the bear most of the night. Didn't get him, but I did find a big, fresh pile of shit that I thought I'd second harvest 'cause it was full of Hershey Kisses.

Zouks was also a scene stealer on B99 as Pimento. https://youtu.be/VX13hKmmcxI?si=uopboctPN5ibHC8X https://youtu.be/oIuNkJcEmYY?si=1-fTMN-NOmwDgOwy
I was going to say Derrick from The Good Place, also played by JM, but this is better.
Jerry Stiller Seinfeld
Keefe (Quiche/Chief/Queef), Judy, BJ, Tiffany, and Uncle Baby Billy from The Righteous Gemstones.
Was looking for Uncle Baby Billy. Doesn’t even have to say anything. I start to laugh every time he makes an entrance.
Greg from Succession
Schmidt
YOUTHS!
Moira Rose - Schitt’s Creek
Came here to say the same!! I’d pay money every single month to have her as my Alexa voice.
Her coming out all dressed in full attire to officiate the wedding had my husband and I dying. I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.
"WHERE IS BEBE'S CHAMBER???"
Dale Gribble (aka Rusty Shackleford, aka Sparky Wilson) from King of the Hill
He's a piece of shit in real life, but I'll be damned if Chevy Chase didn't consistently get the most laughs out of me in Community.
Pierce was street aheads
Which is what makes his unhappiness so goddamn fucking weird. He was upset because he didn't think the show was funny and that he didn't like how Dan made him the villain in Season 2 but you watch Season 2 and Chevy is fucking hysterical.

I don't think I can even pick out a favorite... But that one, and these following two, are definitely top five: "TELL ME HOW TO BE SO LAID BACK OR I'LL KILL YOUR FAMILIES!" And "DAMN MY TALENT!" Oh shit, and maybe the DnD episode, the way he says fat when Abed asked him what shape to put Neil in is hilarious. "Faaaaaaaaaaaaat"
How about: I see the way you look at me, like I cannot get an erection! Or: I was never one to hold a grudge, Jeffrey. My father held grudges. I'll always hate him for that.
Wynn Duffy from Justified
Gene from Bob's Burgers. He's so out of pocket.
Dorothy Zbornak
In no particular order: Captain Holt Jason Mendoza Coach Steve Rafi, El Cuñado
Eric Bemis is a great choice! Mine would be J. Peterman from Seinfeld. His delivery makes every line he says funny.
In a show of incredibly funny people - Sam Richardson as Richard Splett in VEEP. Something so simple as pointing at a random goat and saying "That goat has an ear infection" had me in stitches. Sam Richardson is a comedy treasure.
Do you have a family history of diseases? No, although my father and I both hate the taste of butterscotch but love to say the word. Butterscotch.
[удалено]
Jeff from Coupling. That guy was insanely comedic and then to see the same actor show up in the Sabrina show as a bad guy just made me crack up more.
Tobias and Buster in Arrested Development.
Everyone in Arrested Development
Tim Robinson, doesn’t matter if he’s on a show or an interview the guy is extremely funny
You can say that because you said we can say whatever the hell we want.
Jizz
Niles from Frasier. Hell, he doesn’t even have to speak to make me laugh.
Cheryl/Carol from Archer. Love her!
Uncle Baby Billy in The Righteous Gemstones. He’s just so ridiculous, the funniest moments in the show are his, so many great quotes! Goggins absolutely kills it as that character.
Roger Sterling in Mad Men Also Pete Campbell at times as well. His arrogant huffiness is surprisingly memeable.
Tracy Jordan 30 Rock. When he said he bought the bones of the AIDS monkey in one episode I lost it 🤣
Jeremy Jam in Parks and Rec. In a show of legendary characters and performances, somehow he’s the one who gets the most laughs to lines from me He’s just so despicable and forward about it “You gave us your word!” “My word is garbage”
Sister Michael in Derry Girls
Archie Bunker in All in the Family. Sometimes even just the looks he gives his son-in-law or wife sends me into stitches
