2. Dwight K. Schrute (Rainn Wilson)The Office, NBC 2005 - present
The perfect mix of egomania, insecurity, eccentricity, arcane knowledge and gullibility, Wilson’s hilarious, socially inept paper salesman almost always steals the show—quite a feat with such a stacked ensemble cast.
“In the wild, there is no health care. In the wild, health care is, ‘Ow, I hurt my leg. I can’t run. A lion eats me. I’m dead.’ Well, I’m not dead. I’m the lion. You’re dead.”


What a tough choice. Tobias could have easily been picked, but probably GOB the right decision.
Kramer at #4?!
I love Dwight and Gob but in terms of sitcom characters, there is Kramer and then there is everyone else.
And where the hell is Fox Mulder?!
I second that sentiment... where the hell is Fox Mulder! I was concerned he wouldn't make it into this list as I saw who was emerging each day... Also Jerri Blank from Strangers With Candy was missing. I'd take her over GOB any day.
AD deserved to be number one spot. The only question was which ONE of their characters?
Excellent pick, Paste!
i'm really disappointed you have no 'it's always sunny in philadelphia' fans in paste, cus if there were charlie kelly would be on there no doubt. beats the mom from gilmore girls anyday. seriously start watching the show.
there are some good choices here but in my opinion Dana Scully and Smoking Man from The X-Files are the best TV characters ever.
Dana Scully is for me by far the best tv character ever created!!!!
