The comic relief character is one of those old staples of TV drama; a figure the camera can cut to for a quick quip or a comedy pratfall to brighten up a dark moment. Sometimes these characters can represent the audience and say what we’re all thinking (Lost’s Hurley) and other times they’re just dumb as a sack of spanners (True Blood’s Jason), but they can inevitably squeeze a chuckle out of us.
But who provides the best comic relief in dramatic shows? The poll below has a handful of answers suggested by our good readers, but if you have a favourite who isn’t in the list, leave a comment with your vote! Just remember – this is limited to shows currently on TV. Read on for the poll…
I voted Hurley. Poor Masuka, though!
