After much consideration, I am changing my list. These are the three best sitcom characters of all time. There shall be no more discussion:

Selina Meyer
GOB Bluth
Laszlo Cravensworth

However, I am willing to hear arguments for Tobias Funke and Roger Furlong.

Non-stars
Niles Crain (great all around but brilliant at physical comedy)
Ted Baxter (MTM show) 
Kramer 
 
Nailed it with Niles. This is my favorite scene ever. No dialogue

Tough choices  I think you have to pick main characters, which eliminates bit part guys like Earnest T Bass and Tobias Funk.  

1. George Costanza

2. Luci Ricardo

3. Homer Simpson

I did not think we should pick the main character since that is just asking what is your favorite sitcom?  Exception: Seinfeld.

Listing a Cheers character over Diane is criminal. Shelley Long was incredible in that role (admitting Kirstie Alley is one of the best casting decisions in TV history).

Also give me

Michael Scott and (edit: going with Niles).

Let’s play another sort of game. 3 worst sitcom characters. Off the top of my head: 

1) Simon Moon on Frasier

2) The Englishman on Seinfeld’s The Dog episode.

3) Ted Mosby on How I Met Your Mother.

Manny from Modern Family

Craig from Parks and Rec

#3 doesn't matter because no one will touch those two

Billy Eichner is a national treasure. He was miscast on Parks and Rec. Just not right for that type of show.

No argument on Manny. College Station native. Enough said.

I know about Cousin Oliver despite not watching the show.  A character that became the trope makes the list.
