23-plus. The many faces of Roger

This was the main one I wanted to see on the list. Kinda surprised there wasn't any South Park though, like Professor Chaos or Mysterio.

Roger is genius. It would be difficult to pick a favorite persona, but the episode where he pretends to be Dog the Bounty Hunter is one of my favorites.

That one was great (and also one of the best episodes, where Stan and Roger get high). "STAN! Damn you and your one outfit!"

I also like his rookie cop persona where he joined the police force and with Stan's help became the top cadet. He then becomes the most corrupt cop in the precinct less than an hour after graduating.

I'm confused. Why would you even have a list when this one alone blows every single one of the others out of the water?

No Chuck Finley?
I'm surprised I'm the first on Fark, considering Bruce Campbell's legendary status around these parts.

Sorry, but the word "best" doesn't belong in the same sentence as anything from Seinfeld, unless the sentence is, "Seinfeld is the best example of a shiatty show, about shiatty characters, that ended up being loved by millions of brain damaged people who have no taste."

Chuck Finley and Grandmaster B need to be on this list, agreed.

Mugato		2013-02-20 10:38:06 AM

I catch Seinfeld whenever I come across it (it's not hard since it's on like 40 times a day) and I've never seen that "burning the Puerto Rican flag" clip. Is that too controversial for syndication or something?

You can stuff your "Sorrys" in a sack, mister. Last night I saw the episode where Kramer doesn't trust doctors, so he goes to a vet for his cough. The bit they did with Kramer starting to act like a dog was funny enough to keep me laughing for 5 minutes.

There was a lot of controversy when it first aired, NBC apologized, and it was not shown in syndication for a while. After it was released on DVD it began to be syndicated, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is infrequently aired on purpose.

I think the longest sustained laugh I ever had was the episode where Kramer gets the set of the Merv Griffin show. Being English I don't even know who he is, but him acting like a talk show host and interviewing everyone was absolutely hilarious.

True, I forgot Rusty Shackleford. Another great alt.

My other favorite Roger alter-ego is Scotch Bingington, King of Spring Break!

I laugh like an idiot whenever I see that episode.

I believe the article was about the greatness of Parks and Rec and that one Arrested Development episode. Save your long-term developed alias to hide from the federal government with later learned to be a real person's identity. Clearly Seinfeld was the only show capable of making a fake name into a long running gag.

...or at least that's what I got from the article.
