Swedish Chef
Mr. Bean being so low in the list means you don't have any idea how iconic that character is
Didn't like that as well
Totally agree!
That's the problem with these lists: there's seemingly no established criteria, and the placements seem arbitrary because of it.
@@chaddon7685but wtf u expect for the list like oe these . What if these ranks are not actual ranking as in comparing these characters infact jus acknowledging these characters which is what they are doing ? How tf are they gonna narrow down best characters out of sea of good characters out there and leave up to your expectations?
@itsbonkerjojo9028 What are you rambling about? Creating a set criteria of factors makes it easier to objectively generate a list like that. It's not, "these are our FAVORITE characters" but "GREATEST." Something like that requires a modicum of objectivity.
Cultural impact, how humorous, effectiveness of drama, fan appeal, etc. Honestly, I don't even care what categories, just something we can consider to kind of guess why people are where they are.
I'm sorry if this obviously innocuous desire of mine magically offended you.

o ok
I swear they think breaking bad is the best Walter is maybe like top 50
You’re a good man
Jax Teller should be on the list.
Rick Grimes as well
Michael Scott not making it into the top 100 is insane. Dwight deserved a spot, but you could’ve had two for The Office like you did for GoT. I also think Matthew McConaughey’s Rust from True Detective is a masterpiece of a character.
I can't believe Rust didn't make this list.
Yeah... Mike not making it over everyone else seems to ignore the show quality after he left. It became obvious how much he carried the show as a character.
Yes, I love these mega long lists. Abed is definitely one of my favourite characters of all time, and I'm looking forward to seeing him in the upcoming movie.
Six seasons and a movie!
That show's gonna last three weeks!!@@quinnhurst3472
We can debate this list for days. I'm still shocked that out of 100 characters, Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes didn"t appear on this list. He didn't even receive an honorable mention :(
Suck it up
For me, Annalise Keating from How To Get Away With Murder is one of my favorite television characters. Her morally questionable actions come from her own experiences, and is definitely not afraid to get her hands dirty to get her job done. Viola Davis absolutely killed it in that show.
Omg she’s hilarious. I personally think she’s an awful person but it makes her more lovable and interesting. The way she frames everybody and defends guilty people 😂
@@BK-is5fj agreed
Some of my personal favorites, in no particular order:
Rick Grimes(The Walking Dead),
Daryl Dixon (The Walking Dead,
Frasier Crane(Frasier),
Niles Crane(Frasier),
Dr. Green (ER),
Dr. House (House),
Dr. Sheldon Cooper(The Big Bang Theory),
Sam and Dean Winchester (Supernatural),
Jadzia Dax (Deep Space Nine),
Spock (Original Star Trek)
Uncle Phil(Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire)
Absolute banger list. Rick is an underrated legend. The scene where he bites a chunk of that guys neck out to stop another guy from raping Carl…that scene stuck with everyone.
I agree with Jadzia
you havent watched breaking bad then
Spock
@@jprice6419Yes, how did they miss Spock?
Thank you for including The Doctor and ranking him/her so high
I can’t believe Olivia Benson was so far down your list! She’s one of the best characters on a police procedural ever, and the show has been on for nearly 25 years.
The thing that really gets me about Mariska Hargitay is how she has completely taken her job to heart. She started The Joyful Heart foundation in 2004, an educational and advocacy organization for victims of sexual assault, child abuse, and and domestic violence.
She even took on police force and governmental issues with testing backlogged rape kits (that just sit there, completely untested). The foundation is working to gain legislation to get the backlog tested and to make sure it never happens again.
Her character is amazing, as is the actress herself.♥️♥️
What number was she
@@williebelcher9303She was only at 96. I agree that she should have been higher on the list.
@@williebelcher9303 They put her in at #96…🙄
I know what you mean but I’m just glad Marissa made the list. She’s so awesome
A few honorable mentions:
Spider-Man - various
Leroy jethro gibbs - NCIS
Smurfette - the smurfs franchise
Ahsoka tano - various
Michelle tanner - full house
Optimus prime - transformers franchise
Michaelangelo - teenage mutant ninja turtles franchise
Dolores Abernathy - Westworld
Slappy - goosebumps
Oliver queen - arrow
Merlin - merlin
Tina belcher - bob's burgers
Alf - Alf
Garfield - Garfield franchise
Good list I loved watching Merlin save Arthur and Oliver as the arrow “you have failed this city”
Chef - South Park?
@@PCMan8922 he's number 27 in the video
@@ethancullen7702, Yeah, I Thought Eric Cartman Wouldn't Be on This List, But When I Saw Him, I Edited To Chef.
Ash Ketchum- Pokemon franchise
Agumon- Digimon franchise
Tim Taylor- Home Improvement
Al Bundy- Married... With Children
Mo Howard- Three Stooges
Lonnie Jamison- In the Heat of the Night
Mr. T- The A-Team
Ben Matlock- Matlock
Harry Stone- Night Court
Mike Brady- Brady Bunch
Luke Duke- Dukes of Hazzard.
I think the entire muppet cast of Sesame Street are iconic. From the likes of Big Bird, Elmo, Telly, Bert & Ernie, Grover, Zoe, Cookie Monster, Abby, and more.
Agreed
Agreed but big bird the best
Mr. Snuffleupagus, Oscar the Grouch...
@@chrisrj9871And Herry Monster
Soooo glad you had both Sam AND Dean Winchester (even if they were all the way at 99 lol) Supernatural is easily one of my all time favorite shows of ALL TIME
Hate the placement and them combining the two distinctly different characters into one. That's just personally, of course."
@@chaddon7685 Right, I would've DEFINITELY had them much higher, and they both deserve there own spot of course, but considering that this is Watchmojo and they could have easily just been left off entirely (and I honestly thought they might've left em off before I watched, Supernatural often gets overlooked) I'll take it.
Also I just want to throw this out there. It's a crime that both Rick Grimes from TWD and Michael Scott from The Office weren't even on the list. Both of them MADE there respective shows. They deserve a spot SOMEWHERE in the top ONE HUNDRED without a doubt. But eh whatever, I know Daryl was on the list to represent TWD and Dwight for The Office, but still.
I can’t believe Andy Griffith or Barney Fife weren’t on this list and up near number 1.
13:16 86. Homelander
24:40 50. Eleven
27:40 42. Stewie Griffin
31:40 31. Thomas Shelby
34:40 22. Saul Goodman
35:05 20. SpongeBob SquarePants
40:35 15. Gregory House
55:13 01. Walter White !!!!
Honestly just happy to see Abed on the thumbnail
Me too!!!
Alright, Avatar Aang! He might be a child at the age of 112 years old but he’s a cool character. The voice actor is amazing
Number one is absolute the number one!
It's always tough to come up with any list having to do with the top TV characters of all time so there are bound to be snubs. For example, Dan Fielding of Night Court, Jack Tripper of Three's Company, Mr. Rogers, Dr. Perry Cox from Scrubs, George Jefferson of The Jeffersons, Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati, Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers, Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap, etc.
For me Walter White is definitely the best,his transformation from shy school teacher to ruthless and cunning drug kingpin is one of the best things i have seen on tv shows.Great that you Homer and Tony Soprano in top 5,really great characters
Without tony soprano there would be no Walter white. So no.. he's the best Tony soprano is.
Virgins combined
@@Stormtrooper-oc4vnboth are fantastic characters. Hard to pick two objectively better than those two. My personal top five favorites are Dexter Morgan, walter white, homelander, elliot alderson, and joe Goldberg. Other great characters that aren’t necessarily in my top five-ten favorites are cersei Lannister, Jamie Lannister, bubbles from the wire, tony soprano, paulie from sopranos, Polly grey, raven rayes, tony soprano, Don Draper and roger sterling, Logan roy etc… there’s so many great tv characters
So , They just made him a better character with soprano as the base , and the only thing that walter white has in common with soprano is that both of them are anti heroes , that's about it .@@Stormtrooper-oc4vn
Sideshow Bob is the best character in the Simpsons for a villain
Awesome as always🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
This was a great list. The biggest disappointment for me, though, was that Mads Mikkelsen's Hannibal wasn't on this list. Such an amazingly complex character and one of the best performances by an actor I've ever seen on TV.
How the hell is Mr bean only number 72!!!!! He should be at least in the top 50
Great List Nice
Since my dad was a kid, he La-La-La-Loves Bugs Bunny. It’s his childhood while his mom likes Daffy Duck
I love this list!
THANKYOU! My boy Greg House finally ranking in a place he deserves!
Rick grimes being not included is the biggest crime imaginable. I was so shocked at him not being top 3😅.
Some other Honorable mentions/ people who should have been included, i randomly thought of
Jerry senfield
Bart Simpson
Phillip J fry
Micheal Scott
Bender
Unlce Jesse (full house)
Snoopy
Popeye
Carlton ( fresh prince)
Shawn Spencer (this is probably very bias)
Alan or Charlie from two and half men
Louise Belcher (but maybe Tina or Bob instead)
Morty Smith maybe
Tom and Jerry
Peter griffin
Jessie pinkman
790: I’m SO HAPPY that Stewie Griffin is on this list. He’s my favorite character from Family Guy
Woulda loved to see Patrick Jane somewhere on here. As well as either Clark Kent or Lex Luthor from Smallville.
Rest In Peace Adam west
But he will go down in TV history as the best Batman ever.
Olivia Benson and Barney Stinson were both WAY too low. Both are incredibly iconic.
I’m surprised a lot of characters from other shows were not mentioned at all. I kinda expected characters like
Elmo - Sesame Street
Bob - Bob’s Burgers
Gibbs - NCIS
Gir - Invader Zim
Hank Hill - King of the Hill
Bones - Bones
Mr. Feeny - Boy meets World
Uncle Jesse - Full House
Al Bundy - Marriage with Children
Norman Bates - Bates Motel
Courage - Courage the Cowardly Dog
Samurai Jack - Samurai Jack
Pikachu - Pokemon
Wilt - Foster’s Home of Imaginary Friends
Tom the Cat - Tom and Jerry
Bender - Futurama
Chucky Finster - Rugrats
Dexter - Dexter’s Laboratory
Etc etc.
The iconic SpongeBob is Number 20! He’s the staple of my childhood mixed with Tom & Jerry and Popeye
I legitimately predicted the top 50. But would include much more characters from mid 20th century shows
Make the Top 100 Greatest Movie Characters, Video Game Characters, and Fictional Characters of All Time.
Am I tripping or did I not see Rick Grimes on this list?🤔😭
Tony Soprano should have been #1. Without him Walter White would not exist and Gandolfini's acting and character depth was quantum leaps ahead of Cranston's
I disagree personally. I love both characters and shows but the performances are at a very similar level. Perhaps Tony's depth just edges Walter's though
There is no comparison; Walter just had the advent of social media and Netflix on his side upon the release of Breaking Bad. @@jordanharrison8454
The fact that Andy Sipowicz is not even on the list, when he should have been in the top five means you have not done your homework.
Great List
Tony Shalhoub's Adrian Monk (from the series Monk) better be on this list.
EDIT: Yay, #52!
No Rick Grimes is wild
Why are Spock from Star trek, Norm from Cheers and Karen Walker from Will and Grace not on this list?
Not having Prince Zuko on here is INSANE. He had the most emotional backstory out of everyone in Avatar, and the way he slowly developed into the character that he did was nearly as good as Walter White.
how does Raymond Reddington never get a mention for these lists - always will be number one greatest character in my eyes
Nice List
Ooh… this is gonna be exciting!
Excelente Video 🙊🤯💖🤩👌💝💐🌟🥇🏆
I love that when I started this Barney from how I met your mother popped up and it’s on my tv now😂
My mom loves Tommy Shelby in Pleakly Blinders. It’s one of her favorite shows
You missed a few remarkable characters. Dr. Reid from Criminal Minds, Jessie Pinkman from Breaking Bad, Michael Scofield from Prison Break , Michael Weston from Burn Notice, and Raymond Reddington from the Blacklist. All of these characters are a lot more pivotal to their show than a lot of characters on your list. These characters provided a large portion of the heart, sound and critical development necessary for the shows they were part of to allow for each show’s longevity and endurance with the spectators of each show.
Saying this before I watch, the Doctor better be top 20 at least
Did you make it to the top 10?
BoJack at 85 is criminal. top 25 at LEAST.
You guys left out both Wilson AND Mr. Feeny?
I get that you can only put so many TV personalities into a list, but these two characters are legendary sage neighbours that hugely helped the plot of most of the episodes of their respective shows. At least include one of them
True
My dad loves SpongeBob SquarePants. We watch the show together from DVD.
Mickey Mouse should’ve been a part of this list 😢
Mostly happy with this list. Walter White being number 1 is awesome, Don Draper and Tyrion Lannister being high up is great. Sam & Dean Winchester being on the list at all makes me sooo happy (Supernatural is one of my favorite shows and it often gets overlooked on lists like this)
But a few things I can't believe: No Michael Scott, No Frank Castle (The Punisher), No Jax Teller, No Hank Hill... but the biggest one honestly is NO RICK GRIMES!? I actually can't believe that, he MADE that show!
Yup! I don’t even know why I watch Watchmojo! I have never agreed with a list from the 6-7years I have been subscribed lol
Like the list, but it missed Al Bundy, Basil Fawlty, Edmund Blackadder, Richard Richard, Simon Adebisi, Vic Mackey and Al Swearengen.
Spike and Willow from Buffy should have also earned a place. Their growth and development over the seasons is even better than that of Buffy, I'd argue. Good people who get corrupted by evil and then eventually find their own way to redemption.
I'm so glad Sam and Dean made it on here!!
Some HM:
Jonathan and/or Clark from "Smallville"
Bones and Booth from "Bones"
Walker from "Walker, Texas Ranger"
Sgt Greg Parker from "Flashpoint"
Uncle Jesse from "The Dukes of Hazzard"
Danny, Jesse, and Joey from "Full House"
Laura and/or Charles Ingalls from "The Little House on the Prairie"
Dan Conner from "Roseanne"
Clair Huxtable from "The Cosby Show"
Uncle Phil from "The Fresh Prince"
Frank Reagan from "Blue Bloods"
I truly loved this list, but I can think of a few awesome characters you left out , Jackie Gleason, Mallory archer, captain Kirk, al Bundy just to name a few other than that really good list 😊
Good List
Honorable mentions:
Popeye the sailor: A mumbling spinach-eating muscle bound oldie but goodie.
The Eds: Ed Edd n Eddy. No matter which one you pick, you're guaranteed to get some laughs
Chowder: A purple hungry chef's apprentice who is relatable in more ways than one.
Wander and Sylvia: Wander over yonder. A cheerful friend and a rock hard fighter make for a fun duo.
Bender: Futurama. Those who disagree can bite his shiny metal a$$.
Tony Soprano and Omar Little and Don Draper are tied for #1 for me.
And the authors for all 3 series give them all unbelievably amazing charzcter defining moments. Tony has his trip to the desert where he screams “I GET IT” at the universe. Omar has the scene where Bunk tells him that kids are glorifying the legend of Omar little and it makes them both kinda sick. And don has the scene where he drops the act and tells everyone his maternal figure was a prostitute and the only memory he has if Hershey’s is stealing money from Johns and buying one at the store. All are truly 11/10 characters. For me my top 3 are Probably Jimmy Mcnulty from the wire, Riener Braun from attack on titan and Uncle Iroh from The last Airbender
Don's great but I'd trade him for Walter but otherwise spot on
The ranking of him is a disgrace 😅
But Walter White is great, too 🙏🏻
f I were to make additions to this list, I'd have LOVED seeing *DEMONA* from Gargoyles! She's probably the most developed and unique character and still has a fan following!
Can you do a movie character version of this as well?
Nice 👍 Eleven is my favorite. Stewie, Homer and Scooby-Doo are also good
Sonny Crockett and Tubbs deserved a spot simply for how culturally significant they still are.
John Reese from Person of Intrest.
Raylan Givens from Justified.
Jake Peralta from Brooklyn 99.
Dave Chappelle from Chappelle's Show.
Last but not the least, Tom & Jerry.
I agree with Raylan Givens
I knew when I didn't see Tony Soprano in the first 90 I knew he was in the top 10.
I haven’t watched Columbo in years… but that, “Just one more thing” always made me smile. Gotta go back and find it…
All of the Downton abby cast deserve to have the top spots. That is by far thw best show out there.
I didn't realise this video is 56 min long even though she is counting down from 100
Ralph and Alice Kramden and Edward Norton from The Honeymooners. Edith Bunker. Amanda Blake from Gunsmoke. Marion Lorne and Agnes Moorehead from Bewitched. Carol Burnett. Julia Louise Dreyfus from Seinfeld.

Great list, despite the presence of Beavis & Butthead, Spongebob, and the kid from South Park, and despite the fact that the other animated characters deserve their own list on which King of the Hill and Speed Racer would also be represented.
With all that being said, my own Top 100 would include Buffy Summers, Gregory House, Lucy Ricardo, Olivia Benson, Jack Bauer, Fonzie, Gilligan, Archie Bunker, Columbo, Sabrina Spellman, Maxwell Smart, Hawkeye Pierce, and Don Draper from the original list, plus the following equally-deserving names:

Would have loved to see Susie Myerson on the list. Alex did such an amazing job with that character.
My 2 favourites are Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad and Michael Scofield from Prison Break.
Michael Scofield is amazing so badass
Glad you had Captain Picard on this list, but Mr. Spock should have been on here as well.
I don't even watch Star Trek, yet I expected Mr. Spock to be in the Top 30!
Will Smith (51) and Omar Little (7)....And that's it...out of ALL of TV History
Interesting list indeed,..
Homer Simpson better be in the Top 5
I think he will.
#4
Best Characters: Bart Simpson, Daffy Duck, Bojack Horseman, Summer Smith, Grover
I'm surprised you didn't include anyone from scrubs. Dr. Cox was such an interesting character who grew throughout the series.
WatchMojo never disappoints me with there incredible content. Some of my favorites that I hope make the list. Dr. Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds) and Dr. Perry Cox (Scrubs).
Homer Simpson is number 4. Yo, D’oh! I just started watching the show and he is fun and funny
Damn, no Klaus Mikaelson, not even Damon or Stefan.
I really hope BoJack Horseman will make it on the list(although he is clearly not a morally good character, he's one of if not the best written TV character I saw). And hopefully even Fry or Bender will make it on the list.
“If only I knew, the view from halfway down”
1. Tony Soprano
2. Archie Bunker
3. Homer Simpson
In my opinion
"I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange"-Dale Cooper-that quote feels applicable to so many situations lol.
Was just talking about my personal top 3 with a group of people recently:
³: "Dean" Craig Pelton • _Community_
²: Chrisjen Avasarala • _The Expanse_
¹: Gus Fring • _Breaking Bad_
Hopefully they're all on this list somewhere.
Awesome list! For me I would have Pierce Hawthorne in top 10😭
Here's my Top 10
1. Frank Underwood
2. Don Draper
3. Thomas Shelby
4. Littlefinger & Varys
5. Walter White & Tony Soprano
6. Tywin Lannister
7. Logan Roy
8. Tyrion Lannister
9. Cersei Lannister
10. Gus Fring
Honorable Mentions
Serlock Holmes
Saul Goodman
Jaime Lannister
Claire Underwood
Hannibal Lecter
I already approve because you have Littlefinger where he deserves
SpongeBob is going to be high on the list
Nope
Sipowitz, Spike, Spock, Ahsoka (CW), K.I.T.T., Kramer, Jack Tripper, Karen Walker (W&G)
I vote for Gracie Allen, Carol Burnette, Brian Kinney, Edith Bunker, The Honeymooners, Winnie The Pooh.
Depends whether we are talking only serious characters or comedy or both. Barney Fife was one of the most iconic TV characters in the history of television, so were Walter White, Dwight Schrute, Ron Swanson and Tyrion Lannister. I’m looking forward to seeing this list.
Given so many not well known or even liked characters in this list, where's each Blackadder? Where's Rene Artois or Otto Flick or Helga Geerhart or Michelle Dubois or Officer Crabtree or many others from 'Allo 'Allo? Where's Alf Stokes of You Rang M'Lord? Where's Alf for that matter? Where's Hyacinth Bucket, or Daisy or Onslow and the rest of the characters from Keeping Up Appearances? Where's Basil Fawlty of Fawlty Towers? Where's Jim Hacker or Humphrey Appleby of the Yes Minister? Where's the original Addams' Family's Morticia and Gomez of Carolyn Jones and John Astin respectively? Or the crew of Serenity, eg. Malcolm Reynolds by N.Fillion or River Tam by Summer Blau? Where's Rembrandt Brown from Sliders? Or Sam Beckett and Al Calavicci from Quantum Leap? Where's the whole A-team? Where's Jarod and Miss Parker from The Pretender? Or Douglas Fargo or Jo Lupo from Eureka? Or the Warehouse 13 agents? Where's Harold Finch and John Reese of Person of Interest? Or Richard Castle of Castle? Or the Solomons of 3rd Rock From The Sun? Or Michael Garibaldi or Londo Mollari of Babylon 5? Or Adam Quark of Quark? Or from animated world, where's Bender of Futurama, he easily rivals Simpsons or Family Guy characters, doesn't he?
Yes! I love these long lists!
I’m sorry but if Kevin Spacey has a spot on here, than Bill Cosby should be on here as well!! The Cosby show was ground breaking and it was one of the greatest sitcoms of all time!! Honorable mentions: Rachel Green, Kramer, Michael Scott, Marcia Brady, Zach Morris, Michelle Tanner, Arnold Jackson, Carlton Banks, Uncle Jesse, Rick Ghrimes, Dick Van Dyke, Lassie, George Jefferson, JJ Evans, Peter Griffin, etc.
I really needed Jack Tripper (Three's Company) and Rob Petrie (The Dick Van Dyke Show) to be on this list...
Emma Peel, Spock, Louie DePalma, Carl Kolchak, Jim Rockford, Sgt Phil Esterhaus, Robert McCall -- I am happily haunted by these ghosts from the 60s through the 80s, even if this list isn't.
