What are your favourite minor characters in sitcoms that make you laugh just as much as or sometimes even more that the main character? My personal list would be:
UK:
Manuel (Fawlty Towers)
Baldrick (Blackadder)
Grim, Gladstone and Goody (The Thin Blue Line)
Brian Topp (Spaced)
Tim and Keith (The Office)
Magda and Marty (Lead Balloon)
US:
Butters (South Park)
Dwight Schrute and Kevin Malone (The Office)
Ron Swanson and April Ludgate (Parks and Rec)

I wouldn't call Grim a minor character, more like a second lead. But I agree he's great.
My list of (really) minor characters:
Mike, Denzil, Trigger and Boycie (OFAH)
Char wallah (IAHHM)
Colin (Brittas Empire)
Finch ( The Office)
Annie Hacker (Yes Minister)
Bunny Warren & McLaren (Porridge)
Victor's neighbours (deayton & the other one )in OFITG
Bishop Brennan and Father Noel
Dick Head (Bottom)
The old major in Fawlty Towers
