I dunno, it just came up in the gif search. Living Colour the one with Jim Carrey?

That's it, Jim Carrey as an overly confident gay man Great sketch

Oof, tough draw for Sheldon.

But Dr. Cox is the winner here for me, and here's one of the (many) reasons why:

Omackeral

Dr Cox by a country mile. I fcuking despise that other heap of sh*te. God I hate it.

Yester

Sheldon. He was a unique character and even though he showed a lack of emotion he was still a more rounded character than Dr. Cox.

PsychoPete

Perry. For John C Mcginleys acting in the rabies episode

Part of me wants to vote for Sheldon because I think TBBT gets a lot more hate than it deserves; it's far from the greatest comedy ever but it's also far from the worst, it does have some very clever jokes in it and Jim Parson gives a terrific performance.

On the other hand, Dr Cox is too good to not progress. So Cox, please.

I prefer mini Sheldon so Dr. Cox for the win here

Citizenpain

Sheldon , just for fun with flags alone

the purple tin

Dr Cox. Sheldon has gone downhill since the writers tried to make him more normal.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Cox wins and Sheldon says a final farewell before exiting the competition after a 7-2 defeat



Will get started again at 11am tomorrow morning and we'll get through a fair whack of Round 2 by the end of the day

No. I almost put Max in as one of the Happy Endings characters, but already had Penny and Alex in it, and just didn't have the space for the three of them. Could easily have put all 6 of the Happy Ending characters in fairness, but the show isn't well known enough with the masses unfortunately.

I loved Max on that show, another for a rewatch

It must have been hard to narrow down what characters went in

It really was. I wanted to get as much of a spread of characters as possible to try and keep everyone relatively happy while still including a good number of characters from the shows that would have the biggest popular following, which is why I set myself a maximum of 3 from anyone show and at least that way some lesser known series would get a look in as well, even if the characters haven't fared so well.

It was hard to know exactly who to include, because you never know what people have or haven't seen. Schitt's Creek and What We Do In The Shadows, for example, are arguably 2 of the most popular comedies at the moment, but it would seem only 1 or 2 people taking part in the voting have seen them.

Hopefully there's enough characters in there that appeal to everyone who is voting anyway, and at the very least people seem to be inspired to watch one or two of the ones they were unfamiliar with as a result of the tournament, which is great!

quickbeam

Be interesting to run this again in 5 years when soem of those shows might have been seen by more people. Will they be as classic as Friends or Parks & Rec?

Yester

I must defiantly check out What We Do In The Shadows. I had never even heard of it until this comp.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Having a few technical issues. Will get going ASAP. Hopefully won't take more than a few minutes to resolve.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Sorry about that delay. A slight glitch in the Matrix.

Match 8

Tough decision to kick off Today as two of TV's favourite fathers face-off...

Hal Wilkerson (Malcolm In The Middle)


vs

Red Forman (That '70s Show)

Red for me. He'd put a foot in Hal's ass for being such a dumbass.

Hal isnt even Cranstons best character.

quickbeam

Hal. Great character, lots of funny scenes. Awful dad (but then Red was hardly going to win awards on that front!)

PsychoPete

I have to go with Red for his no bullsh!t carry on

Omackeral

Hal, a perfect foil for Lois

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I very nearly had to resort to using Edge to post that as Chrome was throwing a massive hissy fit...

I had even gone as far as to actually opening Edge. It was an awful experience.

Ficheall

Hal. It was great seeing him develop into Heisenberg.

davetherave

Hal is nothing without Lois. Red Forman is a all-round great guy. He pretty much adopted Hyde even though he was already doing a second job, or having to do part-time gigs with Bob at Christmas. He is loving husband who dotes on his wife and cares for his children more than he would ever admit. He hangs out with or helps the other kids when they really need it, even if he complains loudly while doing it.
And there was the scene in the final series where he gave Hyde back all of the rent money he had been paying over the years, for College or Bail.

Trigger

Hal, for this scene alone

Citizenpain

Red for me . Dumbass
