Soemtimes we like different things, in fact I doubt any two of us like exactly the same things, so this little look at my favorutie 10 tv characters probably will be seen as stupid by many of you, but thats the different between you and me. I like cartoons, and silly humour, you might like the seriousness of something like The Wire or 24, which are both shows I never got into.

The fat ass himself, who could well fill up a list of top 10 quotes by TV characters himself from that great sweary kids show South Park let me introduce to you Eric Cartman, the fat boy who hates hippy's, swears, eats to much and well....acts like a spoilt brat, what more could a character be? Badass, a Bigass, a Bigot and best of all...so hateable that you just have to love him...awww wee Eric, you will respect mah selection!
And as you're now aware I'm not gonna hide the "cartoon" characters, as some of them are beauts

Despite not being totally conveinced by Tim Allen in Wild Hogs, as Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor, he couldn't help but get a laugh, the guy was just so brilliant, shame his career has pretty much falted from then on, but still, he can tell his grand kids "One of my characters made an 'iamasadlittleboys'' top 10 list". The tool man, who I only caught on ABC1 when it was shown on freeview basically epitomised the sense of DIY madness of the mid 90's.

Maybe unfairly only given 8th spot, a character that should make everyones top 10 with out anyone, Del boy Trotter, of course from Only Fools and Horses, the short wide eyed cockney boy, wiv 'is free van and Rodney by his side, never failed to giv' us a laugh when we was younger. Sorry I went into attempted Cockney mode there and fell on me arse. Del boy is again a perfect example of what a TV character should be, just about believeable, but also surreal.

Sorry guys but heres another cartoon character for you, Bender from Futurama oh boy, where do we start with the robot programmed to bend girders for suicide booths, who becomes a country singer near magnets...and...well basically is one of the few legendary charcters of modern day cartoons, he has Fry as a friend (who would have made a top 25 list himself) and the mis-adventures from joining the mafia to falling in love with a spaceship...I could go on all day.

Back to real life and the oldest of the characters, Sgt Bilko (and out of manners, I'll stick Topcat in), I guess we could say the original Del Boy, a conman of the highest order and with Phil Silvers
