best Schitt's Creek character

There’s only one honest answer but I voted Gwen.

Bob constantly expecting Johnny to actually do work for his garage and constantly misreading things was another favorite element of this show.

i voted Alexis because I know Moira will win

ok y'all have convinced me to restart despite roland

(thanks!)

Roland is pretty unbearable in S1 but then somehow manages to become hilarious doing the same things after that

also, in orbit devastatingly otm about Stevie's inner life

"Roland, will you GET THE FUCK OUT?" = have never agreed with a tv character more

Gwen as a character was kind of forgettable but I love every story about her.

She's a wild lady living her beat life, but we mostly only get to experience that via Bob's grief

Am I the only one who likes Roland? I voted for Jocelyn though.

There's too much David in this show, is my challops. You can have too much of a good thing.

I enjoyed Roland! I especially like the way him & Eugene Levy played off each other

^^^ no

I liked Roland fine, but him winning would be a travesty. He's just there to fluster everybody

jeez calm down i voted for moira

lol i support your Roland defense!

Roland’s entire shtick as a character reminds me of when David Letterman would find something innocuous funny at the beginning of an episode, and keep on it throughout the night until it became a little funny, then irritating, and finally back to funny again.

The only example that comes to mind was when he decided the phrase “shetland pony” was funny and kept mumbling it between segments

Is 'Roland Schitt' a pun?

ooooh

Jaqueline = jack schitt? I don't know.

Roland Schitt! OMG!

Oh, I made up Jacqueline - it's Jocelyn of course.

Roll in shit
Jostle in shit
Mutt shit

Makes you think....

that's kind of amazing. was Mutt his real name? I don't see any other reference.

lol, feel like I would've noticed if they'd ever actually said the full name 'Mutt Shitt' on the show. That must've been a fun childhood.

Kind of an unpopular opinion but overall I found this show much more charming than I did funny. So much of the joke writing had highly telegraphed punchlines imo. A bit spoiled on the sharp wit bombardment stylings of say 30 Rock but not sure if cynicism is a sort of prerequisite for that approach, because this show was not cynical.

For me the laughs were less from the writing about more from hilarious line readings & mannerisms

for sure

I'M TAKING THE PEANUTS, CAROL

Rizwan Manji as Ray kinda does that same act in other roles he plays.

the Ted - Alexis farewell is making me all kinds of sad rn. folks are watching so I'm relieving S6.

This show has so much heart! It’s really special.

my mother is now actively making fun of Moira's affectations. it means she loves her

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

No votes for Eugene Levy seems harsh.

it does

Roland and Jake got more votes than him! Who votes Jake?!

Given my stance upthread I’m not surprised.

Who votes Jake?!

not to indulge vote shaming, but Jake represented positive attitude towards bisexuality and polyamory and was the hottest character on the show. who votes Roland?!

Ronnie also robbed of higher standing

Probably should have a “best supporting character poll” too so we can give the Ronnies and Twylas more love.

Not a bad idea though I will cop to voting for Bob in this one, even with the main cast eligible!

Jake represented positive attitude towards bisexuality and polyamory

isn't the point of polyamory that everybody knows they're in a poly relationship before they enter into it? because he sure didn't tell David and Stevie, both of whom reluctantly decided to continue with it once they realized what was happening, only for David to feel like he couldn't.

the issue with Jake wasn't so much the poly and more his lack of communication and setting of boundaries as a group. which is why things constantly got awkward

wasn't "at all" the poly I should say

Yes, Jake's lack of communication was atrocious.

isn't the point of polyamory that everybody knows they're in a poly relationship before they enter into it?

i think initially it wasn't a poly relationship but rather "dating 2 people at the same time with both of them knowing" scenario.
it was only later when jake asked both if they were interested in becoming a trio.

his lack of communication was part of the comedic device obv

moira is funny but c’mon it’s totally Dan Levy

Otm
