One of the funniest TV characters in Young Sheldon, Constance, or Meemaw, as she is affectionately called by her grandchildren, is one of the coolest grandmothers out there. From running an illegal gambling den inside a laundromat to getting caught for drunk driving and having one of her grandchildren drive her home, Constance is one of the most fearless and zany characters. She is brave and funny and does not care about societal norms that are set for old and widowed women. Constance lives life on her own terms and knows when to spoil her grandchildren rotten and when to give them sage advice in her own style. Therefore, she is one of the funniest TV characters, and it is a surety that being with Constance would get someone kicked out of a serious situation. After all, Constance did not forget to make a joke even when her house was razed down by a tornado.


2. Michael Scott

A character that needs no introduction, because he is someone who would leave no chance to introduce himself. Michael Scott from The Office is one of the funniest TV characters from modern times. He is pompous and hilariously unaware of his surroundings. Even though he is the boss, he can walk into any situation with confidence but without any emotional intelligence. From cracking a “that’s what she said” joke in a serious situation like a funeral to cracking into a sudden karaoke, one cannot take Scott in any serious situation before being hastily kicked out. Even though Scott wants to be loved and acknowledged, his way of gaining attention is quirky. It won’t take long for anyone with Scott to get kicked out because of his inability to read a room and burst into improv comedy. The cringe is relentless with this one, and he is therefore one of the funniest TV characters.


3. Jake Peralta

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has given viewers some hilarious characters, and Jake Peralta is one of the funniest TV characters. Jake takes advantage of his boyish charm to get out of a situation, but he is someone who can make a blunder by using his Die Hard references in a court—getting all of the people who are with him kicked out. Jake seems to have a radar for making inappropriate comments at the worst of times, and he is therefore one of the funniest TV characters. From saying “cool cool cool” during a sentencing to being busy trying to sneak in a pun, you never know what you are going to get with Jake. Add in his love for pranks and impersonations, and being with him in a serious situation is a sure shot disaster. Always the one to annoy others and still win them over with a cheeky smile, that is Jake Peralta.


4. Andy Dwyer

Parks and Recreation might be trying to highlight the bureaucratic hurdles that one has to face, but it also made sure that it gave viewers some of the funniest TV characters. Andy Dwyer is one such character who is lovable but always clueless. Don’t make the mistake of taking him with you in a serious situation like a job interview because he would suddenly start playing the air guitar and get everyone kicked out. Andy is the type of person to think that a eulogy is a stand-up, and he will 100% eat someone’s lunch at a budget meeting. His mind always comes up with the most dumb and hilarious situations, and Andy has no qualms about acting them out. Unfiltered and untamed, he is one of the funniest TV characters, and there is no point in arguing with him, as he will just make the situation worse.


5. Moira Rose

One of the most theatrical and absurd yet funniest TV characters, Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek lives up to her name. Moira is someone you do not want to go to any serious event with, as she will break into a theatrical eulogy and get you kicked out. From her need to add dramatic flair to any situation and thinking that it is Shakespearean to her pronunciation of bébé, Moira is one of the best comic characters that you don’t want to hang out with in a serious situation. Her vocabulary alone could get her banned from council meetings, and it is no wonder that the people of Schitt’s Creek have tasted her medicine. Further, she loves to attend every meeting as if she is in a gothic fashion week and can create chaos by performing a monologue. Therefore, she is one of the funniest TV characters.


6. Peter Griffin

Family Guy is full of comic characters who can get one into trouble in serious situations and the Griffin family patriarch comes out as the foremost contender. Peter Griffin lives in a world of his own and has some of the dumbest solutions to problems. He is a character who can always be found in questionable yet hilarious circumstances and he will make sure that you are also caught up in it. From Peter attempting to breastfeed Stewie after becoming sensitive to the plight of women to creating his own country, Petoria, when he discovered that his home is technically not a part of the US, Peter is the person you do not want to be with in any given serious situation. Audiences might love his ability to get into a new trouble every single day, but he is one of those funniest TV characters that you want to look at rather than be with.


7. Chandler Bing

One of the funniest TV characters from Friends and the one that has no limits to being naughty, Chandler Bing is a young boy in an adult male body. He is the resident funny guy and the blueprint for many other characters on television. There is no limit to the sarcasm that Chandler has in his mind, and it is no wonder that he can spew them out in any given situation, even if it is a serious one. From cracking jokes at his own job interview when asked about his duties to stealing cheesecake from neighbors, Chandler loves to get into trouble every day and is therefore one of the funniest TV characters that you do not want to be with in any serious situation. From his bromance with Joey to his musings on relationships and careers, Chandler has no filters.


8. Titus Andromedon

With a name like that, it is no wonder that Titus Andromedon is one of the funniest TV characters in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. It is easy to guess from his name itself that Titus loves the dramatic and the chaos. He is not the person one wants to be with in any serious situation, as it is a surety that Titus will break into a song or wear a fiery costume for the occasion. Titus does not believe in being the silent and humble character, and he knows how to make his presence known—and that too, loudly and visibly. From over-the-top expressions to over-the-top antics, Titus never cares for a dull moment and forgets to control his antics in a serious situation. He is therefore one of the funniest TV characters but cannot be taken to a formal event. He is fabulous but hilariously unstoppable.


9. Dennis Reynolds

Smug and narcissistic, Dennis Reynolds is the worst person that one can be with in a serious situation. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has some of the wackiest characters, and Dennis is one of them. He is not just inappropriate; he is entirely unhinged. One of the most annoying yet funniest TV characters, Dennis could be in a funeral and ask the corpse if it died from being boring. The ego is at an all-time high, and Dennis sincerely believes that the world is his stage and everyone else is just furniture. From devolving into monologues about his mind, body, and soul in a meeting to flirting with a therapist mid-session, these are just some of the antics that one can be prepared to deal with when one is with Dennis Reynolds. He is therefore one of the funniest TV characters that one should not be with.


10. Mr. Bean

One of the funniest TV characters that needs no introduction, Mr. Bean from Mr. Bean is someone who raised an entire generation with his antics. Without saying a single word, Mr. Bean has made sure that he gets into trouble every single day. He is not the character one should be with in any serious situation, as he will immediately make light of the event and not even understand why his mannerisms are causing trouble. From wrecking an entire department store during Christmas to causing embarrassment by blatantly cheating during an exam, Mr. Bean is one of the funniest TV characters who is always ready to wreak havoc in any given situation. Therefore, being with him is a one-stop ticket to being kicked out of a serious situation, and the best part is that he will not learn anything and continue to do his antics. One of the funniest TV characters for a reason.
