I finally started watching Ted Lasso, and Jason Sudeikis clearly carries the whole show as this character who is virtually impossible to not root for. If I could think of any character from a show or movie I would most enjoy having as a friend in real life, Ted would be close to the top of the list. It seems that a lot of shows, even iconic comedies (Office, Seinfeld, Friends…) have witty dialogue and funny situations, but not always individual characters you might consider "likable" in the sense that you would love to go grab a beer and hang out with them if they were a real person.

What do you think? What are some of the most likable ones out there (based on however you choose to define that characteristic)?

Am I crazy if I say Dwight Schrute? Dude just wanted to progress in his career and get some ***** from the tiny blonde chick in the office.

Kim Wexler from BCS comes to mind first.

Nacho from the same show not too far behind.

I have not watched Walking Dead in a few years but Daryl from there was obviously a fan favorite. Not sure if he still is.

Detective Bobby Simone (NYPD Blue) also comes to mind.

I could sit at a bus stop with Forrest Gump. Probably one of the most wholesome characters that comes to mind.

Nick Miller is my spirit animal:



But really, Ryan Reynolds, Paul Rudd, or Nick Miller (Jake Johnson) are generally always likeable for me, no matter who they are playing.

Funny to me how much more likable Turk is vs JD

Peralta/Terry from 99
Andy from parks and Rec
Nick/Winston from New girl
Maybe Jim from Office
I don't think a single character in IASIP has any redeeming qualities.

I always liked Lem from the Shield. Seemed to always be trying to do the right thing in the terrible situation he was part of.

Doug Heffernan from "King of Queens." Everyman who drinks beer and loves football.

Ann Marie from "That Girl." She just could not be any cuter.

Reuben Kincaid from "The Partridge Family." Loveable curmudgeon.

Kevin Malone.

Nice guy who never engaged in any petty office snobbery or backstabbing; solid drummer, mean chili recipe. And I think he owns a pub now or something in addition to having a band.
