39. Gob Bluth from Arrested Development

hmph.

some men enjoy the feeling of being owned (acoleuthic), Wednesday, 2 June 2010 17:41 (thirteen years ago) link

Actually love Gob, so I'm into that.

Mordy, Wednesday, 2 June 2010 17:42 (thirteen years ago) link

problem is Homer is the only character who's actually been around for 20 years and never gone away. who else is in that category? a few UK soap characters

and Clegg from Last Of The Summer Wine somehow

based on my limited hulu sampling, mustache-guy from parks & recreation should have been an option. he's funny!

the 'hmph' was at GOB being at 39 rather than 1 where he belongs

I think some of these choices are great, particularly:
96. Bernie Mac from The Bernie Mac Show
84. Dr. Gregory House from House, M.D.
82. Tracy Flick from Election
76. Tyler Durden from Fight Club
75. David Brent from The Office (original version)
56. Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mothe
51. Omar Little from The Wire
39. Gob Bluth from Arrested Development
34. Cher from Clueless
18. Sue Sylvester from Glee
14. Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski from The Big Lebowski
4. Tony Soprano from The Sopranos

Characters, who in my mind, totally nailed ways of being / personalities in really interesting or innovative ways. A lot of their other choices seem really bland to me.

Also don't know how they missed Charlie Day.

The most criminally omitted characters on the EW list are Hank and Artie from Larry Sanders. Two of the best characters of the 20th Century, forget the last 20 years.

SNEEZED GOING DOWN STEPS, PAIN WHEN PUTTING SOCKS ON (Deric W. Haircare), Wednesday, 2 June 2010 18:13 (thirteen years ago) link

Also, Kramer was the worst character on Seinfeld.

Mordy, Wednesday, 2 June 2010 18:14 (thirteen years ago) link

91. Hancock from Hancock

really????????
