Unfortunately, even though I like all of the main characters, I can't make a list, because I like different characters for different reasons; so ranking them against each other would be like comparing apples to oranges.The funniest character, in my opinion, is the Dean.The character I find most personable (i.e. the one I think I'd like the most if I met her in real life) is Annie. (She's also the one I find most attractive; so it's possible that her looks are affecting how I perceive her personality.)The characters I personally identify with the most are Abed and Jeff. (Perhaps because my own personality combines Abed's tendency to be stoic and geeky with Jeff's tendency to be laid back and not take anything very seriously.)   See 25 other replies

My faves have changed over the course of the show, due to character development and writing, I guess. Some people are kind of supposed to be irritating (hence, the mass Shirley-hate), but I find that some characters like Annie and especially the Dean are being overused and caricatured to the point of really grating on me. Their idiosyncracies are now just an "Oh, please, let your lines end soon." in my head.Abed's definitely my favorite; Jeff's second because he's like the Super Glue of the group with witty lines no one else gets to say; Troy is funny; Chang is funny sometimes; Britta and Shirley are purposely flawed and get dumped on too much; and Pierce is funny but should get dumped on more than Britta and Shirley for being such a jerk! Supporting players:
Starburns is funny in his micromoments; Micro-nips (Vaughn) was funny; Anthony Michael Hall needs to come back; Betty White was great; the elderly delinquents were funny; Leonard is 50/50; Professor Professorson; too bad Enver Gjokaj played a war criminal and thus was purposely unfunny (this show would ROCK with more Whedonites); Professor Statistics was boring, mean, and the triangle was an annoying soap opera; and Buddy, Todd (?), and the biology teacher were all unfunny to me.I end this rant (ha) by saying that really, my favorite character is "The Study Group".   See 25 other replies

All of them! I know it's the lazy answer, but I genuinely like every character that's been on this show. Even the much maligned "buddy". I think they're all funny in their turn. That being said, I do think that a big reason that this show works so consistently is Shirley. They keep her as the background straight-man most of the time. And wacky doesn't work when there's nothing with which to juxtapose it. But when she does get her jokes they're usually the most unexpected and funniest to me. I personally can't wait to see her get all pregnant and crazy. That could be very funny.   See 25 other replies
