The first BEST SHOW EVENT happens this Tuesday. For 3 hours we will determine THE TOP 100 FICTIONAL CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME. Get ready!
An early vote for Matt Fraction's Casanova Quinn.
-
I'll second Casanova. From any reality, really.
-
Harris Trinsky.
-
Spider Jerusalem
-
HANK!!!

-
I feel like there has to be a twist or secret agenda to this 100 Best Fictional Characters theme. Can't wait to listen tomorrow to find out what it is!
-
My #1 is Mr Joyboy from the Loved One
-
Raoul Duke.
-
Frank Booth from Blue Velvet.
-
The Pelican Garbage Can from the Flintstones. He had some great lines.
-
Incredibly excited for this episode. This is the kind of topic that makes it clear what kind of wavelength the Show is on.
I call dibs on "The General", by the way. Figure he lands in the Top 30.
-
Mandy Moore from Entourage
All of the gay firefighters from The Sopranos
Nick from Family Ties
-
Any number of hobos who hang out by the banks of rivers in any number of Hold Steady songs.
-
Dibs, although pretty obvious
(http://fashionbomb.thefashionbomb.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/patsy-stone.jpg)
-
Dibs on nominating Sgt. Hulka
-
There's no way the Cool Guy in the Jalopy Full of Ladies Who Sings "Once They've Got Ya' Hooked, Then You're Really Cooked" in the "Telephone Hour" from "Bye Bye Birdie" doesn't end up on that list.
-
Weird Harold. The "Creator" of this character does not provide a rationale for the nickname but in light of recent events we all can take a pretty educated guess
-
Dean Pelton on Communty is somewhere on mine...been rewatching the series
Gob on Arrested Development...Paul Lynde as Uncle Arthur...Billy Crystal on Soap...Bob Denver as Maynard G Krebbs on Dobie Gillis...Karol Kane on Taxi...Tom Conti in The Norman Conquests...Dylan Moran on Black Books...
-
Colossus from "Colossus - The Forbin Project" and maybe Cobra Commander.
-
Alan Partridge, back of the net!
-
Sherlock Holmes top 10 with a bullet.
-
Jim Rockford. No way he doesn't crack the top twenty.
-

Yeah, since you definitely won't call in, I'll get the credit for this brilliant idea. If I call in. Which I almost certainly will not.

Weird Harold from "Vampire On Bikini Beach"?:

(I know)
-
I prefer "Weird Walter"
Bad Ronald was also pretty good...
-
Jim Rockford. No way he doesn't crack the top twenty.
I was going to say this too. If votes here count, he's got two at least.

Oh, hell yes. I think Clint Barton should probably make it on the list too since Fraction just melded all three into one during his Hawkeye run.
-
Alan Partridge, back of the net!
TOP 10
Definitely. Also, I think Tommy Saxondale deserves Top 100 status.
Jeri Blank, too.
Also maybe Scrooge McDuck.
Ignatius J. Reilly from Confederacy of Dunces.
-
Pardon me, Jerri Blank with two "R's"
Gotta be at least one SCTV character up there. Sammy Maudlin?
Martin short in general:
Jackie Rogers, Jr.
Nathan "It's not me, it's him right?" Thurm.
Clifford??
-
Freddie Bauer, especially in light of Julie Klausner's discussion of his character.

Enemabag Jones from the Wrong Guy

-
Saul Goodman
-
Ed Wood from Ed Wood and real life.
He was not afraid to be who he wanted to be, make things that no one wanted, wear women's clothing in an era when that was deemed sissy behavior, and he took care of aging Bela Lugosi to give him one last hurrah in film.
Also, Harry Tuttle from Brazil. In and out sans red tape, treated everyone he met as a human being, fought against the inhuman and inordinate delays of a hyper capitalist totalitarian society to take back peace of mind for the impoverished.
And Queen Emeraldas. She's a space pirate from Galaxy Express 999 and Captain Harlock. She has a scar across her face, randomly shows up with brute force to challenge robots and save Maetel and Tochiro/Tetsuro. She is a space pirate who fights robots and has her own space pirate ship.
-
Harry Tuttle from Brazil.
Seconded
-
Sorry if this has already been asked but is there a full list (so far) anywhere?
EDIT: nevermind! Reloaded www.thebestshow.net (http://www.thebestshow.net)
WOOOOPS!
-
Herman Blume - Rushmore
Mr. White - Reservoir Dogs
Fletch
John Rambo
Tall Man - Phantasm
Lando Calrissian
Brody - Jaws
Krampus
Stagger Lee - Nick Cave song
Moses - The Bible
Roscoe P. Coltrane
Leatherface
Jeff Spicoli
Morgana

Can I get an honorable mention for Greg Universe? Scharpling and Wurster both on Steven Universe this week. My hope is that somehow Newbridge exists in that universe...
-
I tuned in late and didn't realize until hearing the podcast today that Julie from Cincinnati originally suggested Queequeg from Moby Dick. Tom instead put the character "Moby Dick" on the list. I have to give Julie props for that, Queequeg is definitely the best character in the book. Who else has a combination pipe and tomahawk?
Thanks to the caller who suggested the boy who lives in the barrel from "El Chavo del Ocho". I had never heard of that show but it looks to be incredible. I guess it's a spinoff from Chespirito (which the Bumblebee Man character/show on the Simpsons is a parody of) and it ran during the 70's. I'll be checking out the show soon.
-
Haven't listened yet, but no mention of tom waits?
-
I just noticed the bestshow.net page lists "Ignatius P. Reilly" but his middle name is Jacques. John Junk and GFriday got it right in this thread. I believe MST3K made the same mistake, wonder why that is?
#Synchronicity
#SpellItWithA_J_NotWithA_P_
-
I still think Iron Fist should get some sort of mention since Luke Cage is on the list. My other suggestions were going to be Lois Lane, Harry Lime, Black Panther, Namor, Rylan Givens, Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty, and The Undertaker.
-
Man the Chestnut Mare crashed out of the list like it was jumping into a crevice.

But seriously can't believe Don Knotts didn't make the cut.
-
Thought of a few more I'd pick
Z Man from Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Find the Fish guy with long arms in Monty Python's Meaning of Life. Also the fat dude
Letterman's "Wanna Buy a Monkey?" guy in Cabin Boy
Eddie Deezen in everything

Joe Spinell in Maniac
Lee Marvin as Detective Lieutenant Frank Ballinger in M Squad
Papa Lazarou from League of Gentlemen

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog
Myra Breckinridge
Sgt Bilko
Ruth Buzzi as Gladys Ormphby
Monk
-
I haven't finished the podcast - did Beavis and/or Butt-Head make it on there?
-
No Beavis or Butthead to my memory. I agree wholeheartedly with MikeDesert about the Find the Fish guy from Monty Python's Meaning of Life and always keep "I Wonder Where My Fish Has Gone" on standby as a comedic monologue for auditions.
Also missing unfortunately was Sherman Hemsley's George Jefferson, and Sherman Hemsely's B.P. Richfield.
Oh! And Edith Ann and Buster!
And Neko Ramen's ramen cat!

Fred sandford/Red foxx
This morning I was thinking of Aunt Esther
-
Either Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes or his dad or his uncle
-
Skinny Wendy
-
Hymie from Get Smart and Jethro Bodine from Beverly Hillbillies.
-
I wasn't listening live so it's my own fault, but Buddy Bradley from HATE should have made the list.
-
Been thinking about my list since Tom announced the topic. My first thought was Skip Bitman, which a caller actually mentioned, which Tom liked, but ultimately left off. So here's what I've come up with:
Bill Haverchuck/Freaks and Geeks (this has got to be a lock)
Prof. Frink/The Simpsons
Larry “Bud” Melman/Late Night with David Letterman
Twiki/Buck Rogers
Al Peck (Al Peck’s Used Fruit)/SCTV

Big Ern McCrackin/Kingpin
Franklin Delano Bluth/Arrested Development
Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute/SNL
E. Buzz Miller/SNL
Murray, Carvelli’s sidekick/Welcome Back Kotter

I would also add the fake Paul McCartney

Some favorites of mine that didn't make the list.
-Clegg from Eastbound & Down
-Eel O'Brien/Plasticman
-Max Fischer from Rushmore
-Tammy Metzler from Election
-Seymour from Ghost World

-Sylvester from It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and Lorenzo Saint Dubois from The Producers (both played by Dick Shawn)
-Lenny Pike (Jonathan Winters) from It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
-Loady McGee and Sinus O'Gynus from Angry Youth Comics
-Reed Rothchild (John C. Riely) from Boogie Nights
-They guy who is trying to sell a piece of John Wayne's bath tub in Taxi Driver
-Pee-Wee Herman (how did he not make the list?)
-On the Pee-Wee tip, I'll add Francis and Captain Carl
-Deputy Andy from Twin Peaks
-
-Danny the Street from Grant Morrison's run on Doom Patrol. He's a inter-dimensional traveling sentient cross-dressing city block, come on!
-
The inclusion of the Scorpions guy with forks in his eyes and Mike suggesting the guy who screamed when Phil Leotardo died* were some of my favorite moments from last weeks show.
*which I'm only now realizing was referenced in Eagleheart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU5IMSOzbeg) (I still haven't seen The Sopranos!)

I'm surprised Tom didn't mention Vince Ricardo from the In-Laws when someone suggested Colombo last week. I'm pretty sure I've heard Tom reference the "Serpentine!" scene before. One of the greatest scenes in any movie...
-

A true classic! Or the scene at the dinner table where Peter Falk describes his travels and seeing giant mosquitoes carrying away small children and only Alan Arkin is crazed with disbelief and the fact that everybody is just going along with it
-
This top 100 has been on my mind WAY too much.
What about Billy Jack??
Also thought of Jinjur who led the all woman army to Oz (in the books) to end the male reign. At the time she represented women's suffrage and was pretty bad ass...
-
Any possibility to sneak in these?
Bobby Hill
Audrey 2
Tami Taylor
The Tick
Jesus Shuttlesworth
Edwina 'Ed' McDunnough from Raising Arizona
William Stanaforth Donahue (from The Fall Of The Star High School Running Back)
Dr. Katz
-
Speaking of Oz, how about Peter Criss' character, Martin Montgomery?
-
jokingly, as an unemployed FOT, I was going to say a top 100 fictional character would be a Best Show listener who can take advantage of the Wealthfront first 10,000$ dollars are managed for free deal, but with all the FPs listening and so many FOT success stories I am clearly wrong.
however:
The top100 NEEDS a KIDS in the HALL character. Here's a couple to choose from:
Gavin, the dweeby kid with the Zelda cap played by Bruce
Lex, the "slipped my mind" guy aka. The king of empty promises as played by Kevin
ok I was going to add one character for each Kid but I like these characters more:
Jerry Sizzler and his sister Jerry Sizzler, Kevin/Dave
or finally
Tammy, Buddy Cole's pop prodigy and a blueprint for Lady Gaga's to come, as played by Bruce.
Edit: Going back through the thread and yes, Danny Husk is a great idea. Anyone from A T and Love really would be a good fit.

Would have loved to see Dennis Flemion make the list as a "character." His vitriolic asshole onstage persona couldn't have been further from the man himself and it was so convincing that once a club owner smashed my cousin in the face with a beer bottle because he thought that Dennis was actually being harassed and needed protection. Dennis was telling my cousin to "fuck off" "shut the fuck up" etc. and the club owner intervened disastrously. (Jimmy chased us down and returned the Toy Porno VHS my cousin had dropped in the brawl. Nicest dude ever.)
Or maybe a character from a Frogs song? Swamp Broad perhaps?

Tse-tse flies!
I didn't get to call in. My nominations, which I feel wouldn't have made it far:
--Totoro
--Ashy Larry from Chappelle's Show
--Taylor Doose from Gilmore Girls

Jeff Goldblum as 'Jeff Goldblum' is one of my fave characters too, and I love "Between the Lines" b/c it was filmed in the Boston of my childhood
-
For your consideration:
- Big Ern McCrackin, Kingpin
-Aunty Entity (Queen of Bartertown), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
-Robert Durst's terror burp

-Danny the Street from Grant Morrison's run on Doom Patrol. He's a inter-dimensional traveling sentient cross-dressing city block, come on!
I'll second this and RAISE you the Planetary crew. All three of them were absolute winners.
-
This would never be on Tom's list, but the fictional Gary Shandling from It's Gary Shandlings show would be on mine. As a youngster, that show blew my mind with the breaking the wall stuff - I hadn't seen Dobie gillis yet. But it was a pretty great show for a while. Even though his face has always kind of creeper me out

I had to look it up, James Murphy was asked to write for The Gary Shandling show back in the day, but he didn't write the theme song. I thought it was Randy Newman singing too.

The guy who flips off the camera in the opening to LOUIE.

From 'Mr. Brooks'...
(http://www.lankelot.eu/filesV2/UserFiles/Image/Fabione/3mr-brooks.jpg)
Marshall In The Middle

For Your Consideration...
Seymour Goldfarb Jr. (Roger Moore) from "Cannonball Run"
(https://40.media.tumblr.com/b3559e07990d8e55eab29b467d6a18b2/tumblr_mr31g5aJFo1rqlmkso1_500.jpg)
Since James Bond probably isn't an option, a nice way to salute a Best Show favorite movie and an icon to a top ten character, Alan Partridge
-
This new best show seems to feel a little more transparent. It seems like they are trying less to pretend that everything that happens is 100% real. that being said I think Philly Boy Roy should be on the list. I never would suggest him during the old show's run but now it seems to fit a little better. He's certainly one of my top 100 fictional characters.
-
I think that might be a bit too far, even in the more open Best Show era - Tom can say Jon's name on the show and refer to Scharpling & Wurster as an entity and break the fourth wall that way, but I think Tom would think putting characters he and Jon created on the list would be the show disappearing up its own ass a bit
-
Belatedly: Dr. Peyton Westlake aka Darkman, from Darkman.
-

I think that might be a bit too far, even in the more open Best Show era - Tom can say Jon's name on the show and refer to Scharpling & Wurster as an entity and break the fourth wall that way, but I think Tom would think putting characters he and Jon created on the list would be the show disappearing up its own ass a bit
Yeah, the fact that he was created by Scharpling & Wurster is reason enough to keep Roy and any of the Newbridge denizens off the list.
Now I wonder where "Macho Man" Randy Savage should fall on the list. I assumed the Rock was going to have to be the only wrestling figure on the list, but now I think Savage earned a slot.

-Robert Durst's terror burp
This just made me laugh pretty hard. While I was watching the show I would have to occasionally remind myself that this guy is an actual murderer and he shouldn't make me laugh so many times. And now I've got his gross little burps making me chuckle.

I know what you mean. I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry, but either way I was sick to my stomach.
