Ah, another top ten list. As refreshing as the morning dew. This week's list will attempt to rank the top ten funniest characters currently on television. One of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to this rabid list making that has infected our culture is how vague the parameters are for each list. Some strict rules need to be set. So, just like last week, here is the rhyme behind my reason:

• These are current television characters, who have been on the air within the last couple of months. Jerry Seinfeld or Sam Malone aren't eligible, funny as they may be.
• Rankings are based on current levels of humor. Homer Simpson probably would have topped this list ten years ago, but now will struggle to break the top ten.
• I have included one real person playing himself on a reality show. This person is an exception because, a) I believe that he is actually playing a fictitious character, not being himself, and b) He is really funny.
• I've only allowed myself to include one character per show. I think this is fair, especially given the personal biases when it comes to comedy. I could've filled this list with half Office characters and half South Park characters if I needed to.

With all this said, I encourage you all (after reading the list, of course) to submit your own top ten list of funniest TV characters in the comments section down below. Each member of the list is accompanied by a video clip to give a clear example as to why they have been given the incredible honor of being included on my prestigious list.
