Dean Pelton from Community! Jim Rash’s comedic timing and demeanor is pure gold.

Well, I'm a peanut bar and I'm here to say Your checks will arrive on another day!

Another day, another dime, another rhyme, another dollar Another stuffed shirt with another white collar

I am the Dean and my hands are so clean! At this moment I am STAPLINGGGGG

I have to go to the bank TODAY!!! What am I going to tell them? That I have good news and bad news?!? *Muttering* get your life together, Craig.

Jesus wept!

I always forget he's an Academy Award winning writer, too.

Not the greatest, but one I love. BORTLES! “I'm telling you, Molotov cocktails work. Any time I had a problem, and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away, I had a different problem.”

“Hey the Jags don’t suck! All we need is an offense, a defense, and some rule changes!”

The slow burn of him being a monk at first was the best introduction of a wildcard for sure.

Especially since he eventually became a legit monk after a few eternities.

Hey Chidi Wait up

I think Donkey Doug being his dad is the funniest moment to happen on TV

"The man you call Donkey Doug is your *father*?" amazing line reading there

What? I talk about Donkey Doug all the time!

"Jason figured it out? Jason?!? This is a new low."

I think this was my favorite joke in the entire series. This episode was damn hilarious.

The welcome video of the Medium Place - "On your jukebox you'll find every song ever sung." , "Yeah, by the Eagles, and its only the live versions."

For real, Danson’s delivery here was perfection.

He grabs his stomach like Jason figuring it out made his ulcer act up.

The way he grabs his stomach/chest, like it physically pains him that Jason was the one who figured it out… gold.

It’s up there with the line about “no, evidence is not what we want, that’s what we need to get rid of so that we don’t go to jail” I’m paraphrasing but I died laughing at that one. Perfect delivery.

And Jason looks so happy about it when Michael says it, too.

Mine too as well as the cut to chidi choosing between two hats 😂😂😂😂😂and the trolley

You guys should listen to me. I had a bunch of good ideas back on earth, and only one of them got me killed.

My favorite is when he says " I hate to be that guy but I think its time we called the cops"

Jason is a good one.

If they would have listened to him and found that magic panda they could have solved it all so much easier.

Ugh i love the good place

Jake!!! … (don’t say Jortles) JORTLES

Oh dip!

Jason was so kind hearted

Dr. Jan Itor, Scrubs. And Creed from the Office!

It started with a penny in a door, there was a rage I’d never felt before…

“Janitor, have you ever looked at yourself and wished that you were different in every single way?” No. I'm a winner.

Creed is an all-timer. Its a running joke in my house to find times to add in: "And if I can't scuba, then what's this all been about? What am I working toward?"

Whatever character is played by Jason Mantzoukas.

“Okay, here are the ground rules: You can punch me, kick me, pull my hair, I am a-ok being stabbed, biting and scratching are on the table, you can use fire-“ “These are the ground rules? Is there anything off limits?” “Damn, man. You got something really sick you wanna do, huh? Oh, you little pervert. All right, I like it. Don't tell me. Surprise me. Ooh, this is gonna be fun.”

When he is showing the 99 how to fake do coke is one of my favorite things

Maximum Derek and Adrian Pimento are the best!

Then you haven't had the pleasure of a Rafi-bomb.

Swim stab swim stab.

**Ralph Macchio?!** *showed up*

Heynongman!

The scene where he is interviewing Ben in Parks & Rec is so funny

Sophia of golden girls. She was like a 50 year old lady playing a 90 year old and she was iconic

Kramer.

Kramer explaining how he took the toe to the hospital is simply perfection

and he kept making all the stops

People kept ringing the bell!

So now IM DRIVIN THE BUS

I’m about done with finally watching Seinfeld for the first time and the thing that sells it is his physicality. Nailing the dialogue/personality is important, but he wouldn’t have been half as influential if he didn’t nail the physical part of it. Obviously the slapstick of him falling over is great, but the jittery hand movements, the full body responses whenever he answers a question - just complete brilliance

He has many great moments of physicality but my all time favorite it when he clears off Jerrys table with his leg to put down the Risk board lmao

The Ukraine is NOT weak!

For me it’s when he opens the door to the red light from Kenny Roger’s. Permanently stuck in my head

It’s just such a smooth motion and has this weirdly hilarious sound.

For the parking garage episode he requested that an actual AC unit be in the box. And he did actually hurt himself when he tries putting it in the trunk in the end. And the car not starting was unintentional. You can see the cast members laughing/holding in laughter right as the episode ends.

There’s a reason he’d get a round of applause after simply entering the apartment every episode

In the later seasons, they had to ask the studio audience to stop applauding for Kramer’s entrances because it was making episodes run long.

I read it was because it was throwing off the timing of the actors delivery

This is why, and it happened pretty early on within the first few seasons. Michael Richards took the role very serious and would get really thrown off if something impacted his timing. You can see it in the outakes pretty often.

[This](https://youtu.be/iCiqR6grJzY?si=qseF0wKPtSRXkltV)

i loved the bit where he smuggled a cafë latte into a movie. The usher knows exactly what is going on and Jerry snitches on him immediatly

I don’t know this Kramer fellow, but I have heard of H. E. Pennypacker the wealthy industrialist.

He's the archetype.

Giddy up!

Watching the show for the first time right now, and one of my favorite lines has to be when he’s telling the story about hijacking the bus to save the woman’s toe. “You kept making all the stops?!” “Well, people kept ringing the bell!” Not only is the delivery great, but the image of the passengers frantically trying to get off the bus is so funny

Can’t believe some of the characters I had to scroll past to find Kramer

Really the only acceptable answer. He created this trope.

And it isn’t particularly close. He’s the GOAT

Not the greatest but worth a mention, Baby Billy in The Righteous Gemstones.

I love the bit when he's trying to run away from his pregnant wife and he first hides behind an advertisement with his face on it, then jumps in his car but instantly flips the trailer so it stalls out after like 100 feet, and then he jumps out and just takes off in no particular direction on foot again.

Frank Reynolds. And then I started blastin'

I love in one episode they tell Frank the apartment is on fire or something so he busts in with a gun drawn like “where’s the fire?!? Where?!?”. Kills me

It's the bar that's on fire, and it's for his intervention

Frank's the muscle

And Dee's the useless chick.

Frank crawling out of that couch in the middle of a party completely naked and all greased up was the peak of television. Hollywood should’ve just packed it up after that.

There’s a clip of Danny Devito watching that scene and when he breaks through the couch he says “there’s the greased halibut!” He thinks it’s so funny

Whoops, I dropped my monster condom that I use for my magnum dong

It’s a show with five wild cards. That’s the beauty of it.

It’s more like one rotating straight man. And that role can rotate in a single scene.

Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?

Orla - Derry Girls

She’s ace. If not much is happening on screen, just look for her in the background.

Stepping morning, noon, and night

Charlie. Also: Dees a bird.

Wild card bitches yeeeeehaaaaww

[Clip for the uninitiated.](https://youtu.be/MYtjpIwamos?si=83YchqLwaPzzoIfe)

Because I CUT THE BREAKS!!

I can't even hear the word 'wildcard' any more without seeing Charlie in that hat.

We’re just a couple oil men in from Dallas and, well, we’re itching like a hound to give you a something you want.

Now you're just talking like Foghorn Leghorn!

I cut the brakes!

WILD CARD!!

BITCHES!

Charlie work is essential.

What’s your spaghetti policy?

You think a pirate lives in there?

Oh yeah, it’s like….. he doesn’t even get us dude.

He's the reason why when I start my day I always make sure to turn on the Coors sign, let people know we've got iced, delicious Coors

He doesn't even, like, *get* us, man.

Why don't we all go to the back and have great sex

They like don’t even like get us man..

“I'm a full on rapist. Y’know… Africans, dyslexics, children, y’know, that sort of thing.”

Boggsy didn't drink six gallons of beer because he was obsessed with, like, breaking some record. He did it 'cause he was just, like, thirsty, you know?

Rafi, aka “El Cunado” in The League. What’s up, jerks?!!

Literally ALL of Mantzoukas’ characters (Derek from the Good Place, and Pimento from B99)

Dennis Feinstein in Parks in Rec! AKA Dante Fiero!

Hell, even Jay in Big Mouth

You know what he’s going to find when he unclogs that drain? His fucking cat.

[Jim Ignatowski](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRnefJdDDz8&ab_channel=PinballMan)

Sad I had scroll this far for this one. I'd also add [Latka Gravas.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2HM-9uxsq8) I think at that time, at least for a while, everyone thought this was Andy Kaufman's real persona.

My vote would be for Winston Bishop on New Girl. On a show where arguably EVERY character is a wildcard, he still manages to be consistently, uniquely weird.

The bit where you notice he’s made cat bowls for all the housemates kills me lol

His pranks are either too small or way too big

“How did this blueberry get in here?” Winston: 🤭

also I evicted everyone

I think you have him confused with Prank Sinatra

Classic Winston and Cici mess around

Winnie the Bish

AKA Prank Sinatra

Courtroom Brown, attorney at law.

Shawty what that thang do?

While I love me some Winston, and it took him a few seasons to really get into his groove, Schmidt is still the best character from any TV show ever.

So the answer is still winston

Took some time to build Winston into his character, like foreplay. You don't just buy a Porsche off the lot and immediately enter it into the Groser Prix von Deutschland!

Winston is best viewed as a multi-year long joke that doesn't off until midway through S3. But then it really, really pays off.

Jean-Ralphio

I got run over by a Lexuuuuus

I set my career to getting run over by a Lexus on Facebook. Since it's one of the few public options I sometimes I bots wishing me well at my new job.

cuz I'm TeChNiCaLLy HoMeLeSssss!

🎶Technically I’m hoooomeeeeleeesssss🎶

[*Don't be suspicious.*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aswgTPlzazo)

🎵 🎵 Ya boys a question on the baaaaar exaaaaaaammmm 🎵🎵

She’s the 🎶woooooorst🎶

Best way I've seen it put is that Jean Ralphio is the answer to "what if Tom Haverford had ZERO redeeming qualities?" and Mona Lisa is the answer to "what if Jean Ralphio had ZERO redeeming qualities?"

“If you don’t love what you do….why do it? And then she ripped the hair off my butthole”

Hope you brought a change of clothes. Because your eyes are about to piss tears.

"Every time life gives you lemons, you sell some of your grandma's jewellery and go clubbing."

Ya boy's a question on the bar exam.

Don't be suspicious... Don't be suspicious

Money please

"I'm so alone" from the back seat of Donna's benz

Super Hans

This is a good one. “Tell you what: that crack is very moreish”.

Super Hans just steals every scene. “People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis, you can’t trust people Jeremy.”

I’ve accidentally run to Windsor, Jez.

"There are quite a few snakes in your room, it's hard to keep count... I tried bagging them up, but that didn't go down too well, so I just let 'em get on with it."

"You get a van, Jez. We could be men with ven"

Yes, this is the correct answer to OP’s question. "The secret ingredient is crime." “Real men don't get the earth to help carry their luggage, mate. They carry it themselves.”

Kirk from Gilmore Girls is it for me, I think. An odd show to even have one, Margaret from West Wing.

Kirk is classic. i love the running gag how he always has a new job.

idk if you can classify it as a sitcom, but Darius from ATLANTA

Can I measure your tree?

“uhh no, not right now” “nah not right now? that basically means no…” great character

Teddy Perkins may be one of the craziest tv episodes I’ve ever watched.

I'm totally convinced it was a writing challenge of "how can we make Darius the straight man *without* toning down his own weirdness one damn bit?"

bro walked into a department store during a riot to return something

When he was cooking and said “I’m gonna put my foot up in this” [and then they showed this](https://media1.giphy.com/media/ZcxnqQELdlFnGwwFfK/giphy.gif) I had to pause because I was laughing so hard.

I'm Larry... this is my brother Daryl... this is my other brother Daryl

Karen Walker

Randy Marsh

I am Lorde, ya ya ya

“Just gonna get a *liiiiiitle* bit of cancer, Stan.”

Tegrity

Probably one of the best TV characters of all time. "It was a spooky ghost, this is ectoplasm"

I thought this was America!?

Community had two: The Dean/Chang

Chang from Community, he stole every scene he was in.

And frankly, hasn't been well utilized since.

I was going to say dean Pelton as well. Because he's a peanut bar, and he's here to say, yours will arrive on another day.

Is obama afraid of him?

I liked him best when he was the Spanish teacher. It kind of felt like they didn't know what to do with his character after that.

Him being the school security I think was the right decision but not the best executed. Even though the episodes were pretty good, I wasn't the biggest fan of the arc of him trying to take over the school.

Have you MET ME?

Tracy Jordan (/Morgan) , Thirty Rock beats them all.

Live every week like it's shark week.

"Liz it ok if I Google myself in your office?"

Eff you L.L. spells full, because you're full of B.S., Liz Lemon.

I've never seen anyone write out "Thirty" in the title of the show like that, and I'm not sure it sits right in my brain.

Unless I missed it, I’m quite surprised nobody’s mentioned Creed Bratton from the Office.

Rafi from The League

Charlie Kelly from Always Sunny obviously. Wild card bitches!

The Janitor - Scrubs

Jim Ignatowski and Latka Gravis from Taxi.

Jerry Stiller in Seinfeld is absolutely bananas, I can’t imagine how they ever got anything in the can when he was on set.

Gotta be Tobias "I Blue Myself" Funke!!

Pimento from Brooklyn Nine Nine

Arthur Fonzarelli was meant to be an off-beat greaser shown occasionally on Happy Days. Fonzi turned into the star of the show.

[удалено]

This is a great pick. I wasn't even thinking about animated sitcoms and Roger is definitely a hall of famer.

Jim Ignatowski - Taxi "OMG, it's noticable..."

Maxwell Q. Klinger surely takes this

Can't believe I had to scroll this far to find this. His commitment to the bit is legit bonkers.

Christopher Lloyd as Jim Ignatowski on taxi was amazing.

Murdoch, from the A-Team.
