[Uncle Leo]

Uncle Leo

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Stuart on Big Bang

 

[whoknew]

Cole on Martin. He was great.

 

[Scott Tenorman]

Don't know how underrated but Roger from American Dad is awesome. Also Principal Lewis.

Roger is sort of the Stewie of American Dad, so not really underrated, but awesome and why (along with Steve) American Dad is way better than Family Guy.

But Principal Lewis is awesome!

 

[Ilov80s]

I agree and would add Kevin. It seems I laugh no matter what that guy says. 

For the same reasons I would say Jerry Gurgich from Parks and Rec

Dr Leo Spaceman from 30 Rock

Buddy and Sally from **** Van Dyke

 

[El Floppo]

Tweety Bird is such a giant ##### to sylvester... I find him hilarious.

 

[whoknew]

Is Mr. Peanutbutter underrated? Because he is outstanding.

Mr. Green Jeans - captian Kangaroo

[Sebowski]

Kevin Holloway - Growing Pains. 

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Uncle Leo

Reminds me of another (maybe my very 1st true contribution here):

Uncle Fester (original)

 

[elguapo07]

Larry Mondello - Beaver's sidekick for just a year or two but the kid was $

Mickey Abbot -Him and Kramer were hilarious together

Sgt Schultz - I know nothing 

Mr Furley - Don Knotts an acquired taste but he was good

Grady Wilson - Fred's loyal sidekick

 

[wikkidpissah]

“I ain’t no skank” woman from Breaking Bad. 

also played the Daytime Hooker in My Name is Earl. also has the same first name as me. fantastic

 

[wikkidpissah]

Uncle Leo

The funniest thing about Uncle Leo is that the actor who plays him has almost no idea why his character is so iconic

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

also has the same first name as me. fantastic

####weed? 

Wow. 

 

[wikkidpissah]

####weed? 

Wow. 

Dad still calls me Richard

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Dad still calls me Richard

Well, ain't that royal... 

 

[In The Zone]

Uncle Jesse Duke.

RIP

 

[Brony]

Dee 

 

[GregR]

Regina, the Evil Queen - Once Upon A Time.  Lana Parilla is just amazing at playing wicked. She also looks amazing in all those low cut numbers they put her in.

 

[DMXATF23]

Dale Gribble

 

[Charlie Steiner]

Mickey Abbot -Him and Kramer were hilarious together

Seconded.

 

[That one guy]

Dale Gribble

Pocket sand!

 

[El Floppo]

Roger Furlong and Ben Cafferty from VEEP.

That's another show I'd have no problem pointing to the whole cast.

 

[zamboni]

Steven Keaton (Michael Gross)  from Family Ties

 

[parasaurolophus]

Always liked lowell on Wings.

 

[Jayrok]

John Larroqueete - Night Court

 

[Scott Tenorman]

Jayne on Firefly

 

[Politician Spock]

Steven Keaton (Michael Gross)  from Family Ties

The show was great, but anytime he was carrying the scene was a time to get up and go take a leak or get something to eat. 

 

[Gally]

Always liked lowell on Wings.

Don't sleep on Antonio Scarpacci either

 

[TheIronSheik]

While all of these are great choices, I'm going to go ahead and say the most controversial thing I've ever said on this board and I'll make no apologies for doing so:

Dr. Cox has them all beat.   

 

[Gally]

You can also pick out a number of guest stars from Seinfeld that were just tremendous in their roles:

Tim Whatley

J. Perterman

David Puddy

Izzy Mandelbaum

Jane (square to spare)

Gary Fogel

I could go on and on.  Maybe a special category for Seinfeld guest stars...haha

 

[Mr. Ected]

Data on night court.

He was sooo good on that show.

GOT’s Lyanna Mormont 

Love how this little girl can put those big dudes in their places. She is awesome.

Stuart on Big Bang

There are a bunch on BBT. Both Leonard's and Sheldon's mothers are spectacular. (Christine Baranski and Laurie Metcalf)

Carol Ann Susi, who did the voice of Howard's mother was great too. RIP.

 

[Beef Ravioli]

I agree and would add Kevin. It seems I laugh no matter what that guy says. 

I’m watching the first or second season (again) and was reminded how Kevin was not the same character that he eventually became. Not sure when the transformation took place but he was a “reserved, quiet” character at first. I agree, he’s hilarious!

I think most of the character from The Office are spot on! The only one I don’t care for is Pam. I don’t think she’s that great of an actor.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Eddie Finnerty - on Grounded for Life played by Kevin Corrigan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuXGgz3hzhA

damn, i was going to post that.  one of my favorite actors.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

also, the plane from Wings.

I've rewatched this series about 12 times now.  I can't believe how much I laugh every time.  I put it on to fall asleep.

The change happened after season 2.  During the casino night episode, he's talking to the camera about how he won a bracelet at the WSOP.  In season 3, he slowly starts acting slower.  Then he goes full leotard after that.

You'll also notice that around season 3 or 4, Daryl started speaking with a different voice.  It's a low, gruff voice.  It's odd.  It's almost like they decided to try it out and it didn't catch so they just went back to his normal voice the next season.

 

[ManOfSteelhead]

Malcolm in the Middle: Dewey,  Reese, and Craig

Letterkenny: Shoresy, Reilly, and Jonesy

 

[Rove!]

Abed from Community

Seemed like he should have been a breakout character...

 

[Rove!]

Mr. Poopy Butthole from Rick and Morty

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

Slim Charles from the Wire.

he was the smart-### pawn that got across the chessboard and became a queen

 

[nirad3]

Towelie

 

[ffldrew]

Little Pete Wrigley and Artie

 

[parrot]

Slim Charles from the Wire.

he was the smart-### pawn that got across the chessboard and became a queen

Prop Joe was a great character too. 

And Snoop. And Chris. And Mike.  

"How my hair look Mike?"

"You look good girl..."  

 

[badmojo1006]

Woodhouse and Dr. Krieger - Archer

Elliott - Leverage

 

[Gally]

Elliott - Leverage

My vote from Leverage would be Parker

My wife hates that I watch The Office over and over and over and over and laugh at it constantly.
