Anyone here on SiF care to share their favourite TV show characters?
Choose a favourite or more from any kind of show you like, whether it be a cartoon/animated series, live action, TUGS, Thomas and Friends, Supermarionation, etc. And just to note that there is also honesty involved here, so you may post even a character or characters that I or any others personally dislike or simply don't care much about. So don't be coy now.

Badger in Bodger is my most funniest character ever who makes me laugh because of his loving of mashed potatoes. Other favourite characters of mine are Budgie The Little Helicopter, Nellie the Elephant (with Lulu's voice), Faline in the Bambi midquel and Chef in South Park.

Hubert J. Farnsworth from Futurama. I love many from this show but he's always good for laughs in any scene, bless Billy West. Uncle Iroh & Toph from Avatar, likewise pretty humorous but also sagely. The Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (87). Other iterations may be more threatening but James Avery is THE Shedder in my book, could watch his plans fail around him forever! Batman (The Animated Series). The voice casting on this show was great but Kevin Conroy is Batman, nuff said. Prince Valiant from the Legend of Prince Valiant. Efrem Zimbalist Jr as King Arthur and Alan Oppenheimer as Merlin are also good in this mostly forgotten show but like Kevin Conroy's Batman Robby Benson as the titular role model just has an air about him despite not always being perfect. The name might not be well known but you'll recognise his voice as Beauty & The Beast's Prince Adam and of course Beast, but it's a little distorted. Hank Venture of The Venture Bros. There's a lot about this show I love especially once it found its groove but Christopher McCulloch's character is just comedy gold. Dr. Drakken & Shego from Kim Possible. Great comedy duo act brought to life by the well known voice actor John DiMaggio and Nicole Sullivan. Only know her from a minor role in Scrubs and a few other bit parts but feel she deserves more voice acting roles. Dale Gribble from King of the Hill. Another for comedy gold as there's just no conspiracy theorist quite like Johnny Hardwick's character and so many quotable lines come from him. Louise and Gene Beltcher from Bob's Burgers. These two barely qualify being on a top list in terms of just their characters but Kristen Schaal and Eugene Mirman really inject a lot of energy and you never quite know what's going to come out their mouths. Apocalypse from The X-men (90s). I didn't realise he was played by multiple voice actors till just now but John Colicos & James Blendick really gave the immortal gravitas and you knew things were going to be tough whenever he entered the plot. I don't hate the Evolution or even the movie version like some but even so neither can hold a handle to the talkative tyrant.
In terms of live action I could name a few like Patrick Stuart's excellent speech giving Jean-Luc Picard from Next Gen but animation set ups usually allow for characters to be that much larger than life. I know video games don't make the criterion but if so would add Kain from the Legacy of Kain series. It's hard to picture anyone but Simon Templeman voicing the indomitable vampire and it's a great shame we never got a conclusion to the well written saga.
