Every, and I do mean every main character from "Only Fools and Horses", it's due to this show that I ask myself at what I'm laughing at while going through other shows because honestly every other show seems poor in regard of cast, and humor compared to what "Only Fools and Horses" has to offer. As for my favorite characters...
Derek Delboy Trotter - it's due to this role Sir David John is what he is today, a legend. It's near impossible, nay it's truly impossible to top his performance, he lived as, he is Delboy Trotter. Delboy may not be the brightest bloke, business however is where he truly shines, he would con God himself if he had opportunity for it.
Boycie - his laugh is national treasure is all there is to be said about this character.
Trigger - every show has that one "no way he's that stupid" character, but it all started with Trigger. Joey Tribbiani, Jazz, Waldo, Homer Simpson...are all stupid, thus funny, but you don't laugh at Trigger just because he's stupid, it's his appearance, behavior, habits, compared to formentioned characters he's original, and fresh.
To move a bit from Only Fools and Horses...
Gregory House (House MD.) - they say all brilliant men are crazy, House would be prime example. I love his crude humor, his sarcastic, "I don't give a damn" behavior, the way he looks at certain things.
Sir Edmund Blackadder (Blackadder) - Even though Rowan Atkinson is highly praised for his role as Mr. Bean, I find him to be way better as infamous anti hero The Blackadder. I love how he pretty much stayed the same through all four season even though setting, and story have changed drastically with every new season. I would also like to add Baldrick, bit disgusting by appearance but funny nevertheless. George as well, played by Hugh Laurie, it was kinda hard getting used to his somewhat serious role in House MD after watching this show.
I'll add more later...
