Echo de menos a Mr. Bean, pero supongo que no cuenta como personaje de serie al uso.

Larry David haciendo de sí mismo y quedando quinto, eso tiene mérito.

Basil Fawlty primero es indiscutible. Cada vez que le pega al coche con la rama me muero de risa.

Alan Partridge segundo... fuera de Reino Unido casi nadie lo conoce y aquí es una institución.
