we can’t help but applaud every time one
of these scene-stealers storms on screen
hey hey hey a new machine all right
clear the field
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
supporting TV characters that stole the
show how’d she get into my house he left
you back door open although I have to
tell you Eddie will always find a way in
she has a bug up her ass about this
house always has for this list we’re
taking a look at side characters in
television series that frequently
outperform the main characters I come
from this something called a blood feud
comprendes number 10
Schmidt new girl lionfish the Laughton
new girl is full of fun characters that
outshine the sunny Jessica day the most
entertaining and eccentric of the
roomies has got to be Schmidt though
doing this sure now I’m not sure what
I’m doing
I’m not actually quite sure how to stop
this this is definitely real fire I’m
very apologetic I think everyone should
leave an obsessive cleaner an obsessive
lover and just obsessive all around
Schmidt strives for perfection in every
facet of his life I’m squirrel your
manat winter’s coming a mystery him a
cheek girl please Lee his neurotic
nature stems from his fear of
abandonment eating disorder and various
other anxieties I’m gonna have to run
all the way home and my slippiest
loafers on the perfect blend of
egotistical and insecure Schmidt
accumulates a ton of laughs and dollars
in the douche bag jar cute give us a
second I just gotta
gotta talk my boys my boys is not at my
bro’s okay douche bag jar number nine
Walter Bishop fringe excuse me dr.
bishop
you have a visitor not now and you see
we’re working on something very
important a sci-fi series like fringe
simply wouldn’t be complete without a
mad scientist and dr. Walter Bishop
impeccably fits the bill
where is he Walter can we talk to him I
guess that would depend on whether he
has succeeded in killing himself or not
Walter’s brain isn’t quite all there
no we literally mean it’s not all bear
as fractions of his brain were removed
as a result his memory can be scattered
and his personality can be immature for
his age he couldn’t complete it I tried
to help him solve it went in and he came
at me with a plastic spork his
over-the-top quirks of course amount to
delightful comedy but Walter is truly
brilliant in his own unique way
flannel pajamas huh rainbows and my
latest project
singing corpses no matter what timeline
it’s always intriguing to pick his mind
why not bring a little life to the dead
I say number eight Daryl Dixon The
Walking Dead I won’t beat your ass
nearly pretty much every zombie story
follows the same basic plot there’s an
outbreak and humans attempt to survive
a show like The Walking Dead is truly
distinguished by its characters the fan
favorite being Daryl Dixon Davis is
better and better on this scene stealer
has become much more than a
stereotypical redneck over the years
emerging as a loyal companion a caring
friend and his own breed of badass
that’ll always come through for the
group he’s afraid of nothing
whether aiming his crossbow at walkers
or at the viewers heart you can count on
Darrell to hit a bull’s-eye stay off the
main roads bigger the road the more walk
there’s more assholes like this one I
got him
number seven
Roger Sterling Mad Men Oh my father used
to say this is the greatest job in the
world except for one thing the clients
despite his white hair and multiple
heart attacks the co-founder of Sterling
Cooper Draper Pryce does not act like
he’s a day over 25
throughout Mad Men remember done when
God closes a door he opens a dress
sharply dressed and always ready with a
witty one-liner
Roger Sterling is like an older Don
Draper with less emotional baggage you
were the one do you work while not the
best father figure this notorious ladies
man is often the life of the party and
the workplace you know my father used to
say being with a client is like being in
a marriage sometimes you get into it for
the wrong reasons and eventually they
hit you in the face he’s the kind of
person that you’d love to hang out with
over a drink and smoke or LSD if you’re
interested in experimenting you always
say never taking any we’re number six
Saul Goodman Breaking Bad it’s show time
folks
Saul Goodman is a true diamond in the
rough he presents himself as a tacky
lawyer that’ll use any below-the-belt
defense to get his usually guilty
clients off and yeah he kind of just is
a tacky lawyer so if you want to make
more money and keep the money that you
make better call Saul at the same time
though Saul is much smarter and more
resourceful than he’d have you think I
can see how upset you are and even on a
good day you and logic ER in addition to
injecting Breaking Bad with some needed
humor Sall proves himself to be the most
cautious and reasonable of his
associates you’ll be lucky if they let
him bust glue sniffers at the hobby shop
the kids paging dr. Phil my daddy’s a
drug dealer and my mommy turned him in
this helps him to make it to the end and
live again in better call Saul does does
a steaming pile of crap screen payday to
you huh the only way that entire car is
worth 500 bucks is if there’s a $300
hooker sitting in it number five to buy
a spew Kay Arrested Development excuse
me
do these effectively hide my thunder
although job Bluth almost nabbed this
spot no character on Arrested
Development makes us blew ourselves like
Tobias whew Kay oh no no I’m not in the
group yet no I’m afraid I just blew
myself Tobias is known as many things
never nude Blue Man Group understudy and
an L were pissed okay Lindsay are you
forgetting that I was a professional
twice over an analyst and a therapist
the world’s first an al ripest yes and
you’re almost arrested for those
business cards yes no it did not look
good on paper what he’ll never be known
as is a satisfying husband competent
father or talented actor Tobias is
regularly oblivious of his surroundings
and what comes out of his own mouth the
man inside me for Lindsay my rock I
could not have done this without him
he’s everything that makes a great
unmindful fool with all of his actions
amounting to hilarious misunderstandings
there’s a fascinating man inside Tobias
just waiting to be discovered for
there’s a man inside me and only when
he’s finally out can I walk free of the
pain number four Ron Swanson Parks and
Recreation
am i interrupting something important
impossible I work for the government
Andy Dwyer immediately won us over with
his puppy-dog goofiness on Parks and Rec
but Ron Swanson is the comedic force
that really snuck up on us I’ll give you
that one but if you do it again if I do
what again what kick your ass how you
like you want me to just pout
Ron is often viewed as the father figure
of the parks department although he’s
reluctant to assume this role since he’s
not very passionate about government or
expressing emotions people who buy
things are suckers what he is passionate
about is carpentry breakfast and his
solitude wait wait I worry what you just
heard was give me a lot of bacon and
eggs
what I said was give me all the bacon
and eggs you have
that being said Ron is always there for
his friends and they’re always there for
him when he succumbs to his ex-wives the
thing I love about Tammy is she calls me
on my crap every guy needs that number
three Ari Gold
entourage you have until the end of the
day tomorrow to agree to be rebranded
mine while Vincent and his bros are off
living careless male fantasy lifestyles
Ari Gold is often left behind to clean
up their messes
since he’s constantly confronted by
conflict this movie agent soaks up a
good portion of the laughs on Entourage
you’ll hug it out no not really I hug it
out bitch Ari is only made funnier by
the fact that he’s foul-mouthed anxious
and prone to overreactions I’m so happy
Ari you’ve made me very happy I hope
you’re happy too do I look happy every
time this guy is on a cell phone you
have expect him to have a heart attack
and you always expect him to say
something hysterical tell her that I
still have the pictures from Cancun tell
her that I’m gonna start a website I’m
gonna take a full-page ad out in LA
Times advertising it tell her it will be
called I’m a Hollywood executive whore
calm and that no password or fee will be
required tell her I want a fucking
callback number two Cosmo Kramer
Seinfeld I’m out Cosmo Kramer may seem
like a kooky neighbor archetype but he’s
truly one of a kind
1/2 bumbling doofus and another half
cool hipster Kramer is notorious for
getting mixed up in Harebrained Schemes
that typically blow up in his face
what are we gonna do with him I guess
we’re just going to have to teach him to
wear the ribbon how he manages to pay
the bills with no source of income
remains a mystery although it’s likely
Kramer is solely getting by using his
own distinctive charm you’re never gonna
make it he’s such a charismatic presence
that you’ll always welcome him into your
apartment just remember to keep the
fridge stocked saddle up and ride you
wanna get something to eat first no I’ll
go before we shine the spotlight on our
top pick here are some honorable
mentions thanks right I’m sober and
crazy and I don’t know what I might do
don’t do it I don’t know what it is yet
yeah but how do you stop I think about
crying children with soggy diapers also
maggot that you were you were never fat
you were soft and round like a dumpling
no son of them Oh peed on my shirt took
my shirt out of the bag and peed on it
and you say the same person are we to be
friends then
we are allies my dad which can be a good
deal more effective number one Steve
Urkel
family matters while family matters
started as a traditional sitcom it might
as well have been retitled the Urkel
show after a while kid dog I think he
likes me despite not being officially
part of the Winslows Steve Urkel took
over their household like a destructive
tornado
hey Urkel to the rescue soon enough
every story line was written around this
nasally nerd whether he was trying to
win Laura’s affections or showing off a
new invention it’s my latest invention
you’re looking at the world’s first time
machine berkel didn’t just dominate this
show but the entire TGIF lineup to date
he’s still what comes to mind when we
think of Fridays and stereotypical nerds
face chemical compound will make me cool
did he do that yes yes he did
do you agree with our list oh there’s
nothing wrong who’s your favorite TV
scene Stiller
now I suggest that those wavelengths are
the key to success for more entertaining
