Top 100

-Danny the Street from Grant Morrison's run on Doom Patrol.  He's a inter-dimensional traveling sentient cross-dressing city block, come on!

[leeharveyosmond]

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 (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...

[michaelpichael]

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

[buffcoat]

Speaking of Oz, how about Peter Criss' character, Martin Montgomery?

[The Gentleman Gh0st]

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.

This guy

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?

[onemoreJeff]

just wanted add / throw out there Clint Eastwood's 'The Stranger' character from High Plains Drifter

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

If not Peter Falk from 'The In-Laws', then maybe this guy?...

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...

Good 'egg head' pick...

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
