7 Of The Best Comedy Side Characters

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winthrop chapter.

Comedy shows have the best leading characters: Micheal Scott, Leslie Knope, Jessica Day, and more. We all know and recognize how funny they are, but there are so many supporting characters that make the shows infinitely better.

Here is a list of my favorite side characters from my favorite funny shows!

 

The Office

Kevin Malone

Kevin’s character is constantly funny. Every time Kevin is on screen something hilarious happens, and I lose it! 

 

Dwight Schrute

Dwight is one of the weirdest side characters on TV. From his beet farm to his survival skills, Dwight is a hilarious character.

 

Parks and Recreation

Tom Haverford

His infamous line: “Treat yo self.” has been used by thousands of people around the world to justify their behavior. Tom is a gif legend.

 

Andy Dwyer

Andy, and his alter ego Burt Macklin, is way too funny. He is by far one of the best side characters to ever exist.

 

The Mindy Project

Morgan Tookers

Morgan is the inner weirdo we all are. From talking about living with his grandmother to doing Mindy’s laundry, Morgan is the best. 

 

Community

Abed Nadir

Abed is the side character who makes sure the plot keeps going. His character is constantly breaking the fourth wall, which is super fun for fans.

 

New Girl

Nick Miller

Nick is the spirit animal of every college student. He loves watching TV, drinking excessively, and doesn’t trust authority.

 

Scrubs

Hausmeister

Scrubs has been around forever, and it would be a crime not to mention Hausmeister. His constant torment of JD from the very first day is the best. 

 

These are just a few of the many hilarious characters I love. All of these shows are incredibly funny, and there are so many more characters I love. Are there any characters I missed? Comment below and let me know what you think! 

Winthrop University is a small, liberal arts college in Rock Hill, SC.
