I was just telling my gf last night how awesome Crede is. I don't think I have the mental capacity to come up with my own 5 right now.

none of those, save maybe the mcpoyle brothers, were remotely funny.

Which is exactly why they belonged on an FT list.

creed is pretty good, the rest of your list (expectedly) sucks. the creed blog has to be the best stuff ever, that's some great ryan right there.

glad to see you have a curb character and funkhauser isn't a bad pick. there should be someone better from philadelphia and i might have included murray from fotc.

i would've picked either jeff, susie or wanda from curb.

I don't think it's so much of a reflection on FT how much that list sucks, so much as a reflection on the state of TV in general.

Bob, if you are gonna maintain a blog, and actively post to it and all, you could at least TRY with this shit.

Good Lord. THE OFFICE?! CURB?!!??

You're better than that my humongously fat friend.

Dear Obner,

Fuck off and die.

Love, Bob

charlie is infinitely funnier than the mcpoyles. they're a one-trick pony that'll be used dry this season.

Susie Green is probably my number one.
Arie Gold (though his shelf-life is coming to an end.
Larry David
and though she's only been on twice that I know of; the Hesidic dry cleaner played by Gina Gershon is killer.

I'd go with:

- Jeff Garlin's character on Curb, Ari is pretty good, Murray from FOTC

but those are all the comedies I really watch.

Yeah, that list sucks.

Dwight Schrute & Creed ("The Office")
Barney ("How I Met Your Mother")
Frank & Charlie ("Sunny")
Johnny Drama ("Entourage")

The McPoyle Brothers aren't funny.

I definitely should have kept it to myself. That much is painfully obvious.

I'm much more into self-loathing than being loathed by others, so this actually kind of sucks. It's weird, because it really doesn't seem like my tastes have changed at all, but the same can't be said for my popularity in these parts. I guess it's a good thing I'm not running for office.

Yeah, quit being a baby. If you think that people loathe you because of a LIST ON THE INTERNET, you've got some big problems. Bigger than anyone here can help you with.

You've got questionable taste in television characters. I happen to love Better Than Ezra and Counting Crows. We can't be winners all the time, Bobbo.
