I love T.V. I get way too emotionally invested. It's stressful. Main characters plot lines are important, obviously. But sometimes those background characters just make a show, you know? They seem so unimportant, trivial even. But Nostalgia! So I made a list my top 8 favorite underrated background characters...
1. Tinny Tim, Futurama
"You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir. Bravo!"
2. Hotdog Princess, Adventure Time
"That's a distress flare from my other Hot Dog Knights! It says Baby...Us...Trouble...Time"
First of all, Hot Dog Princess is by far the most adorable of the Adventure Time Princesses. But even though she’s royalty, homegirl hangs out in her modest little kingdom, a doghouse
inside a run and cohorts with her subjects on the daily. So down to earth!
3. Brett Bunson Buckley, Archer
"God DAMMIT Archer/Lana/Pam/Cheryl"
Brett Bunson gets shot in every episode he appears in. But he recovers through the physical trauma and PTSD that comes with that and makes it back into work every time. The emotional strength that must take is astounding!
****Spoiler: Brett may have met his end in the Season 5 Premiere, But with the ongoing theme of bionic/human hybrids, I think we’ll see Brett get shot again*****
4. Fake Real Doors Salesman, Rick and Morty
You’re just gunna have to watch this one for yourself.
5. Gayle, Bob’s Burgers
My cat was right about you!
An artist, a poet, musician in a band, creator of fantastic board game “Gayle Winds” (which I would really like to learn how to play.) Plus, an animal lover! Why don’t men appreciate Gayle’s creative mind!? She’s a catch.
Stay true to your(clone)self, girl!
DO YOU GET IT! BECAUSE OF THE RADIATION POISONING AHAHA.
Anyways. She doesn’t conform to societies standard of beauty, but she doesn’t care. She’s a just following her passion - dancing.
7. Joey Jeffy and Jamie, Daria
This is one of the only gender role reversed instances of the Bechtel Test I’ve ever seen. Male characters that only exists to talk about ladies. Specifically Quinn. Way to challenge gender norms, guys!
8. Mayor Bee, Family Guy
Mayor Bee! Mayor Bee!
Mayor Bee will do anything to achieve his dreams, or die trying. And he does. That’s dedication.
Honorable Mentions:
-Snuffles/Snowball, reformed dictator, Rick and Morty.
-The Grand Midwife, Entrepreneur, Futurama.
-Regular Sized Rudy, overcoming chronic disease/upholder of justice, Bob's Burgers
