Homer and Fry are dumb, but in a charming way (I never watched the other two shows). On the other hand, characters like Screech from "Saved by the Bell" or Constable Goody from "The Thin Blue Line" are just annoyingly dumb.

1. Homer Simpson (Simpsons)
2. Father Doogle (Father Ted)
3. Joey (Friends)
4. Fry (Futurama)
5. Baldrick (Blackadder)
6. Alice (Vicar of Dibley)
7. George Bush (2DTV)
Oh yeah, Blackadder. In that case, you should add Percy (volumes I and II), Prince George (volume III) and Lieutenant George (volume IV). What a bunch of thickies (played by only two actors)!
There's also the kid Corky from "Life Goes On", but I don't know that we should count him.

Thats a tough one. The dumest in my opinion is split evenly between 3 characters.

2. Homer Simpson(THE SIMPSONS)
3 Fry(FUTURAMA)

why does everyone call him doogle? it really bugs me seeing as his name is DOUGAL.
spell it right before i get reeally pisst off because father ted is the greatest sitcom eva!
i think he's the stupidest. eg:
Ted: i looked in the mirror this morning dougal and i saw a middle aged, grey haired man staring back at me.
Dougle (unsarcastically): who do you think that was ted?
