Maybe I would if I knew what one was!
They are characters from Blackadder (obviously), The League of Gentlemen, Mighty Boosh, Green Wing and Spaced.
They aren't necessarily my top 5 of all time, but if I'd just posted up yet more pics of Basil Fawlty this thread would have been a bit samey. 
Glaucomic Old Masturbator?

I'm not a fan of On The Buses, but I love Stephen Lewis's character, what can I say? "Get those buses out!"

Why?
Quote: Aaron @ July 10 2009, 10:57 PM BSTWhy?
Because she is funny. And nice. And clumsy, and insecure. And I think she's a lot like me (except for the funny and nice bits.)
Which, believe me can feel like a f**king rarity among all the glamorous, confident, perfect looking women in sitcoms like Coupling, Not Going Out, Game On, etc whose main problems are not particularly believable 'insecurities' and romantic problems with men.
Does this call for an Ordinary looking Woman in Comedy thread?
Oh God, no.
