If were talking UK then it has to be Billy Connolly and if International the late great Chris Farley.

Libertine Posted 8 March 2006 Posted 8 March 2006 Alan Partridge for sure. Hilarious. For some examples of his funny sayings and quotes, click here, or here.
Darth Fox Posted 8 March 2006 Posted 8 March 2006 Patridge. Seen Coogan live at DeMontford years ago and my mate Darth Vodka from Talking Balls shook his hand when Patridge went around the crowd.
Strokes Posted 8 March 2006 Author Posted 8 March 2006 I do love all the comedy's and hero's above but none of them are in the class of Coogan
stez Posted 8 March 2006 Posted 8 March 2006 out of them lot, del boy, but my real comedy hero is either spike milligan, dave allen, woody allen or chris morris
Nationwider Posted 8 March 2006 Posted 8 March 2006 As comedy characters, I'd have to say Fletch or Delboy, as they are instantly likeable as true heroes. They can also recognise their faults, which is the reason why we empathise with them. Partridge and Brent are the opposite - they represent the darker side of ourselves. They are uncomfortable to watch - they represent our arrogance, vanity and stupidity. Fawlty sort of sits in the middle of both categories. He also happens to be my favourite.
Head Honcho Posted 8 March 2006 Posted 8 March 2006 Andy Kaufman was the comedy king Rigsby best comedy character Don't know how many of you remember John Junkin who died this week, but he was one of the best comedy writers/actors of all time. In one 2 week period, he appeared in over 50 comedy shows on TV! Now that's prolific!
Nationwider Posted 8 March 2006 Posted 8 March 2006 Rigsby best comedy character Forgot about him. An honourable mention for Reginald Perrin too.
Cat Burger Posted 8 March 2006 Posted 8 March 2006 Victor Meldrew too? Captian Mainwaring? Both class.
Cobbo Posted 11 March 2006 Posted 11 March 2006 Basil all the way Yes you did you invaded Poland...ah love it.
Nationwider Posted 14 March 2006 Posted 14 March 2006 Comedy Hero "Whoah, whoah, whoah...sweet child o'mine" "It's a Catch-21 situation" "It's Den Perry, Jerry" "I want to speak to the organist, not the monkey grinder" "Not what it looks! Not what it looks!!! It's a twenty-foot cock and balls man. It don't look like nothing else, it's not happening."
