Who do you think is the dumbest character in TV history??

I think its gotta be Homer Simpson, with doogle (from father ted) following close behind.

1. Homer Simpson (Simpsons)
2. Father Doogle (Father Ted)
3. Joey (Friends)
4. Fry (Futurama)

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.

Updated:

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.
1. Peter Griffen(FAMILY GUY)
2. Homer Simpson(THE SIMPSONS)
3 Fry(FUTURAMA)

SPONGEBOB!

Joey (Friends),homer simpson. BUT THEY R ALSO THE FUNNIEST CHARACTERZ

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?

chelsea from that's so raven.
my fav part is when raven and chls are running from raven's archnemesis and they decide to hide in a broom closete.raven goes in fisrt, followed by chelsea who then a ttempts to close the door but doesn't she's pushing the door and pushing,then raven says"hey chels,YOUR FOOT!" chelsea looks down to find her own foot not letting the door close!!!!!

peter and brian griffen from family guy . he says "i can say all 50 states in a Quarter of a second,"
then he lets out a loud high pitched sound

Kelso from That 70's Show! hes so hot though...

I just came in this thread to say peter griffen too..haha you beat me to it! peter is so dumb i just can't believe it,to funny though!

he lied to the make a wish foundation about chris and showed them his disease which were pepperonis on his chest then he ate them right in front of the make the wish people!

Chris and Peter Griffen have to be the two dumbest.

how can you be mad at other people's spelling when you can't spell yourself? "pisst" "eva", EDIT

Homer obviously...

Peter Griffen was just a wanna be Homer...

Homer defanitly.
I'm starting to get annoyed with Major Healy from I Dream of Jennie too.

Homer
Peter + Chris Griffon
Kelly Bundy
Michael Kelso
Fry

I don.t really watch enough TV I am more of a DVD or sports guy

Todd from Scrubs

Timmy from South park

How dare you say Peter Griffin is a wannabe Homer!!!!!!!!

Peter Griffin is just as cool as Homer Simpson.

Also - what about Kenan and Kel? Especially Kel.

There's also Nick from My Family.........

Is that your list?

there are soooo many dumb tv shows...the list is too long

Dumbest tv show character ever = Sponge Bob. as well as the show.

ima say the top is Homer.

OMG CHANGE YOUR SIG^^^^^^^^^^^

thats sooo nasty

erm.no. If this thread refers to dumb as in dumba^^ id say Sponge Bob, but dumb as in stupid probably have to go with Homer too.

^^^ Yes, change your sig - thats just plain wrong

No Punker, as it said at the top, it was just a partial listing of the many dumb TV characters on many different shows; an example of how most sitcoms have an obligatory airhead or two (just like most message boards).

Screech from Saved By the Bell

I'd go with Cat from Red Dwarf.

i'd have to say either joey or pheoby from freinds...but probably joey!!!!

jack o'neill, stargate sg1

Pter griffin and joey and chris

dougal...no question

Spongebob is annoying, but I like Fry!

I hate every single character from king of the hill!!!!!

Al Bundy - Married with Children...actually, most of the cast from that show.

homer simpson

Homer Simpson hands down.

I would have to say the simpsons and homer was the dummbest lol

lol

god knows ... josh in sabrina . or /apu in the simpsons / pauline fowler out of Eastenders AAAAAAAARRRGH

I gotta agree that Homer is stupid, but I gotta note that no one has mentioned Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

i have never watched that ... ?

Can't forget..."Get Smart"....the whole cast!!

Ramd from the Real World San Dieago. He thouught he was soo smart with the speaches he made but he was SO F***ING STUPID

Homer Simpson, Al Bundy, Shake, Steve Urkell, Michael Kelso, and Leo from the 70's Show, that dude is always drugged out

on british tv its got to be between
Frank Spencer-some mothers do have em
and
Trigger-- only fools and horses

Random, I know, but I love Jeffree Star.

Peter Griffin certainly has an edge in stupidity over Homer Simpson.

Yeah I agree.

I'm surprised no one said Ralph Wiggum.

Kel actually has a very high IQ believed it or not.. even higher than Kenan's.

I'd say Fry is dumber than Homer.... His stupidity is so too much his brainwaves are of a different wavelengths. But their both really funny though

Gilligan....by far.

Meatwad

Baldrick you nutters.

Peter Griffin he is "PETARDED" HIFTY:

peter griffon or homer simpson...,if you even consider them to be separate characters.

Joey from Blossom.

Or Nikki Cox in that Married With Children rip off, or Married with Children show in general (outside of Bud)

Meatwad is dumber than both Homer and Peter.

Kelly Bundy!

Angie McAlister (Britt Robertson) - Under the Dome
Norma Bates (Vera Farmiga) - Bates Motel
Oliver Queen (Stephen Amill) - Arrow
Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) - The Following
