After hearing the news that Roger Lloyd-Pack (Plays Trigger in Only Fools and Horses) has passed away it reminded me how awesome the show was and Trigger as a character.
Trigger would have easily been in my top 3.
As for other notable people,
Jack Sparrow
James Bond
John McClane
Alan (From Hangover)
Sheldon (Big Bang Theory)
Harvey Specter and Mike Ross (Suits)
Just a few that I can think of at the moment.
Rip Roger!
Definetely one of my best characters and one of the best tv shows (extremely popular in Eastern Europe). I was also sad today when read that he passed away. So nice to make a thread for him Matt. I think Charlie (Sheen in two and a half man) must be in top 10, also Jack Sparrow agreed! 
House
Ari Gold (Entourage)
Sherlock Holmes
Michael Scofield (Prison Break)
Barney Stinson (HIMYM)
Jack Bauer (24)

I think that is one of the funniest characters ever because there is so much brutal truth in it...
My wife HATES him, because she doesn't see the truth in it - just the ugly, meanness of it...
(... maybe I'm just an ugly mean person deep down inside...hmmmm)
