    I like ken Marino in the other things iv seen him in. 99 and eastbound and down, so I would say I would like him in that.

    But if there's one thing I am sure of in this world, it's that I love dick.

    Dick, because who doesn't love John Lithgow (though his best character is in a non-comedy show imo)

    Dexter?

    I choose Dick too because I like Dick.

    Newman!!!

    The actor is Wayne Knight and his 3rd Rock character was Officer Don, but his greatest roll was of course Newman on Seinfeld!


    Working my way through Seinfeld atm. On season 3, I look forward to seeing him as I always thought he was a good comedy actor.

    Seems like you lot can't get enough of Dick who is the first character to earn a place in Round 3, with a 7-0 washout as Party Down's Ron Donald takes a final bow

    Match 2

    Slightly tougher choice here as the King of Wonderful Speeches taking on the King of Women's Shoes in this next one...

    Jeff Winger (Community)

    Al Bundy (Married... With Children)

    He shows up in Season 3 for the first time and then becomes more and more of a recurring character. Season 3 is when Seinfeld starts getting really good.

    Al Bundy cos he's a better CHARACTER than Jeff

    Ah here, Winger was a decent enough character but Al Bundy blows him out of thhe water.
    If Jeff knocks out Al after dispatching Kramer then the world really is broken.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    If Jeff knocks out Al after dispatching George Costanza then the world really is broken.

    ***Checks Notes***

    It was Kramer that Jeff took out in Round 1. George lost to Laszlo from What We Do In The Shadows... It still hurts to say that... :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,369 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    I dont watch many sitcoms but Al Bundy I always thought was a good laugh. He gets my vote

    :P My ninja editing skills just aren't up to speed.


    Everyone who votes for Al Bundy gets a free NO MA'AM T shirt :pac:

    Al bundy. Didn’t care about being PC


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Al Bundy, i think i prefer community as a show but al bundy is a far better character


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,498 ✭✭✭Yester


    Al Bundy, he was the best thing about the show by far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,288 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Al Bundy, tv's unpc unfriendly dad


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Winger fails to put up much of a fight and it's the great Al Bundy who progresses to Round 3 in spectacular fashion with a 7-0 sweep

    Match 3

    The first of our Secondchance Showdown winners makes an appearance here with the Janitor. Will he be voted out again straight away or will he destroy Penny's Happy Ending...

    The Janitor because he did his best to put J.D. in his place.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,997 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    The Janitor. He was unlucky to lose his first match last time and should have a decent run imo.

    Very funny character in a funny show until the last few seasons.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Easy peasy - the Janitor is da bomb!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,288 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Janitor as Penny could be annoying

    The Janitor - The star of Scrubs

    The Janitor, he was at his best at the beginning when he wanted to kill JD for no reason.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Unsurprisingly, The Janitor's popularity following a whopping victory in the Showdown yesterday carries him across the finish line here to with a 6-0 result at the end of 45 minutes, and we must bid adieu to sweet Penny Hartz

    Match 4

    Two legends of '80s sitcom go head-to-head here, but will it by the politics obsessed Alex or the beer guzzling Norm who wins the bout...

    Alex P. Keaton (Family Ties)

    Alex. Norm was really just a one-joke alcoholic. At least Alex had some characterisation.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,498 ✭✭✭Yester


    Norm. He was a constant throughout the show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,369 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    I will vote Alex mainly for his starring role in argueably the best movie trilogy ever.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,997 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Norm. About the only character I actually liked from Cheers tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,288 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Alex, charming, cute and funny


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    Norm. Him and Claven were a great comedy tag team.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭eldamo


    Alex, Michael j fox had great comic timing. It's a shame he got Ill, he could have been huge for years.

    A back and forth match there, but the winner by 4-3 at the end of 45 minutes is Alex P. Keaton and even though everybody knows his name, Norm leaves the competition

    Match 5

    A clash of era's here as two popular characters face off...

    Hawkeye Pierce (M*A*S*H)
