"Coach", from Cheers, has to be one of my favorites.
ReplyDeletePenny from Big Bang Theory
ReplyDeleteBull! Always liked Night Court.
ReplyDeleteI'd add Luther and Dauber from Coach.
Alex: I loved Luther and Dauber. Great stuff.
DeleteJeremy: Wow, already on N.
Kelly Bundy exemplifies dumb blonde.
ReplyDeleteExcellent list, bro, though I'd add Barney Fife to the Andy Griffith show. We are huge fans.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm still so naive...but getting more educated the more I "hang out" with writer buddies. Congrats on getting your first story published. Big milestone - I remember it vividly. Then I bought a book for each of my in-laws, The Engineer, and Best. Only best made a comment about my story. My family is still, "Oh that's a nice little hobby, honey."

Bull and Lowell probably tie for the funniest but, growing up, there was nobody hotted than Kelly Bundy. Yowza!
ReplyDeletewell, you need no brain when you have muscles like Joey Russo :)
ReplyDeletePoor Joey. Always the idiot of the group.
ReplyDeleteKelly Bundy needed no brains with her beauty -- though I suspected she was smarter than she let on!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to explain why The Todd and especially The Janitor were on this list.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't everyone like NOOBS? I do.
ReplyDeleteI always thought this was an interesting trope for sitcoms, the "dumb" character. Heck, "Friends" had two of them. What is it that makes us want to have that guy or girl who always says or does stupid things? Probably because it makes them easy to write jokes for.
ReplyDeleteDon't hate me, but I've never liked the Simpsons.
ReplyDeleteChristina Applegate was so hot on Married, I watched just for her. And Kramer, well sometimes he liked to help the humans (after Jerry had called him a "pod" earlier in the show).
ReplyDeleteGreat list and brought back some memories...could have included both Beavis and Butthead!
Chuck at Apocalypse Now
I think this may be my favorite post of yours so far. Love the dumb characters! LOL

ReplyDeleteJoey from Friends!
ReplyDeleteSupposebly.
