Welcome to another fantastic article that will no doubt enrich your life further. Well.... probably not. This is a list of some of the most epic modern television characters. I specify "Modern" because I'm not going to include anything that's older than the 90s. I know there's plenty of great and memorable characters from previous decades, but this is for us younger folk.

Cosmo Kramer from the long-running NBC sitcom Seinfeld.

"Power, man. Power."

Just about everyone knows who Kramer is, but for those that don't, he was the zaney and often spastic neighbor of Jerry. Watching Seinfeld ranks up as one of the first TV shows I ever remember seeing.

Dr Rockso from the [adult swim] late night show Metalocolypse.

"I DO COCAINE!"

Dr Rockso is a Rock N' Roll clown, he does cocaine. A LOT of cocaine. That's about all you need to know.

Wilson from the 90s ABC sitcom Home Improvement.

"Wilson, are you naked?"

Wilson was the somewhat fatherly character that, throughout the duration of the show never revealed the lower half of his face. He often would give bits of advice and wisdom to the other characters when they encountered problems, as well as make remarks that could possibly be taken more than one way. This show is one I remember watching while growing up, right alongside Seinfeld.

Brak as seen on Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

"So I went to the grocery store, and I went to get some milk...DAH DAH DAH DAH"

How can I forget Brak? How?

Michael Scott from the hit American NBC version of a British sitcom The Office.

"That's what she said."

Michael Scott is the worlds best boss, he's also got little to no self-awareness.

Bob Fossil from the Brit comedy The Mighty Boosh.

"I'm your boss man, but I'm also your friend, but I'm not your wife, but we have made massively violent love. Wait, did I say that out loud?"

Bob Fossil is only a minor character in the show, but still manages to be one of my favorites. He also has the tendency to lick his fingers and rub his nipples whilst dancing to various songs from the 70s.

Howard Moon, man about town. Also comes from The Mighty Boosh.

"...I was deep in the juju then. I was chasin' the train."

I'd be a fool not to put Moon on this list. The guy is a jazz master, he's got the moves, he throws shapes, he's got it all.

Carl Brutananadilewski from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

"I'm still bald, still single, still lovin' it!"

Carl is the bald, somewhat obese glutton of a neighbor to Frylock, Shake, and Meatwad. He dies or gets seriously injured in most episodes as sort of a running gag. Try saying his last name three times fast.
