TV Character

Dwight Schrute

Dwight Kurt Schrute III is a character on NBC's The Office, portrayed by Rainn Wilson and based on Gareth Keenan from the original UK version of The Office. His character is one of the highest-ranking salesmen at the paper distribution company Dunder Mifflin, although the series expands on his character as bed-and-breakfast proprietor at Schrute Farms, a beet plantation, and as the owner of the business park enclosing Dunder Mifflin. He is notorious for his lack of social skills and common sense, his love for martial arts and the justice system, and his rivalry with fellow salesman Jim Halpert. He has at times risen to the position of Branch Manager of the Scranton branch, but often serves as a second or third in command as Assistant Regional Manager. In the final season, Dwight is finally offered the position of Manager.

Some of our favorite fictional characters are so wonderful and relatable because they represent a very specific part of the US. The best fictional characters from every state speak to American&nbsp;truths at large while simultaneously embodying the quirks, mannerisms, and twangs of certain regions. Whether the most famous fictional character in every state is from a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-famous-book-from-each-state/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">book</a>, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-famous-movie-from-each-state/mason-weigel" target="_blank">movie</a>, or <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-famous-tv-show-from-each-state/zack-howe" target="_blank">TV show</a>, they entertain us and make us proud (or sometimes embarrassed) to call our state of residence &quot;home.&quot;From characters like Dwight Schrute of Pennsylvania serving up a twisted take on farm life&nbsp;to Ace Ventura acting crazy like Floridians are wont to do, these famous fictional characters from every state do a fantastic job of reppin' their state while contributing significantly to the melting pot that is American fiction.&nbsp;

List of TV's most memorable characters, of all time, chosen by the Ranker community. What makes a character live on in the public's memory, even years after the original run of their respective TV programs? In some cases, it's the amount of depth that the show's writers, actors and other creators were able to bring to the character over the course of many years. For many of the greatest TV characters of all time, audiences feel like they get to know personalities like Dexter Morgan from &quot;Dexter.&quot; Even after the show leaves the air, they may not want that relationship to end. (Thankfully, they don't have to, as many shows live on for years after their cancellation on DVD and in syndication.) The best TV characters are ones that you feel like you know and that you'd want to be friends with.TV has brought many famous characters to life who have been extremely compelling, even if they are not entirely likeable. Viewers may not wish to know dangerous, shadowy figures like Tony Soprano, Vernon Schillinger, and Omar Little in reality, but following their exploits safely from the comfort of your living room can be appealing. Likewise, people who might be aloof or downright unpleasant in real life - think &quot;Mad Men's&quot; Don Draper or Al Swearengen of &quot;Deadwood&quot; - can prove charming, even admirable, when seen at a distance, with the subtext and intricacy that a top long-running TV show can provide.Who is the greatest TV character ever? This list contains the names of the greatest, most fascinating, and most enduring fictional characters from TV of all time.

What do we talk about when we talk about love? Perfect, sickeningly sweet, often unhealthy couples in film, TV, and other media who set up impossible standards to which our real-world flesh & blood relationships will never live up. Let's dissect 'em.

Love on Screen

Entertainment

List of the best will-they-or-won’t-they couples in TV history, current or past. These ‘will they or won’t they?’ couples have added romantic tension to the best television shows and given viewers a reason not to miss an episode -- after all, no one wants to say they missed the moment when a will-they-or-won’t-they TV couple finally did or didn’t. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes sweet, the best will-they-or-won’t-they couples viewers have enjoyed are on this list, from early television to currently-running series.&nbsp;The ‘will they or won’t they’ trope is nothing new to TV shows, and the list of problems that can keep seemingly destined-for-each-other couples apart is nearly endless. One half of the will-they-or-won’t-they couple might already have a boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband (think Pam and Jim) or the two may appear not to get along, even though viewers can sense the underlying romantic feelings. Other common problems for will-they-or-won’t-they TV couples are location, job or social position, or the unwillingness of one half to commit (think Carrie and Mr. Big). &nbsp;Sometimes a will-they-or-won’t-they couple causes problems for a TV series. If the biggest appeal of a show is whether a couple will get together, will viewers still tune in after they do? On the other hand, the ‘will they or won’t they?’ storyline can become too drawn out, leaving viewers irritated. Of course, will-they-or-won’t-they couples have also caused some of the most touching and most heartbreaking moments in television. The first kiss or a marriage proposal after a drawn out will-they-or-won’t-they storyline can even bring a tear to the eye.&nbsp;If you’ve lived every tension-filled moment with the best will-they-or-won’t-they TV couples in history, then you understand how powerful TV can be. Enjoy this list of the best will-they-or-won’t-they TV couples and vote your favorites up.

Television is fun, but some TV characters are just the worst. For every beloved character on television, whether it be Mary Tyler Moore of The Mary Tyler Moore Show or everyone&#39;s favorite resident of the Seven Kingdoms, Tyrion Lannister, there is an equally and adamantly <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-deserved-tv-villain-ends/jack-rogers" target="_blank">disliked character</a> on the tube (hi, Joffrey and Cousin Oliver!!). This list ranks the worst of the worst, including all the most terrible television characters and most hated TV characters of all time.

Yes, it&#39;s true that not everyone is going to like every character on a show, just as not everyone will like every person in real life. However, you will find that there are some characters that are so universally detested by everyone that no one bats an eye when they learn they&#39;re near the top of this list of awful TV characters.&nbsp;Have you ever stopped watching a show simply because one character annoyed you so much? This is a list about those guys and gals.

The list includes some of the most vile TV characters. They aren&#39;t necessarily vile because they are bad or evil, but simply because every time they come on the screen, you wish they&#39;d just go away. &nbsp;In other words, they&#39;re not characters you &quot;love to hate,&quot; they&#39;re unpopular, disliked characters you just absolutely can&#39;t stand.

Vote up the worst TV characters in all of television history that you dislike the most, add any other bad television characters that aren&#39;t already listed here, among the worst.

What were you watching during TV's greatest era?

'90s TV We'll Never Forget

Who were the best TV characters of the &#39;90s? From Frasier, Friends, and Married With Children all the way to kid favorites like Clarissa Explains it All, Doug, and Saved By the Bell, these shows greatly impacted 90s culture and made it the memorable decade it was. This list has the best television characters from all those classic 1990s TV shows.

It was the decade we met Bart Simpson, Cosmo Kramer, and Frasier Crane. The top TV show characters of the 90&#39;s included family-focused favorites like Tim &ldquo;The Tool Man&rdquo; Taylor, the obnoxious but lovable Steve Urkel, and Fresh Prince Will Smith. Nineties TV introduced many children&#39;s characters as well: Tommy Pickles, Batman, Doug.

This decade had an air of innocence and lightheartedness. The top characters of the &#39;90s were, for the most part family-friendly, uplifting, and hilarious. Who will ever forget the girl-next-door <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-happened-to-danielle-fishel/crystal-brackett" target="_blank">Topanga Lawrence</a>, and the importance of having an older, wiser soul rooting for you, like Mr. Feeney? The innocence of Clarissa Explains It All, Family Ties, and Blossom, reinforced family values, and other top &#39;90s shows like Friends, Roseanne, and The Cosby Show, left us feeling like we were never alone in the world.

Vote up your favorite 1990s TV characters below and think back to when these guys came into your living room once a week. Then go find yourself a Seinfeld rerun. You know there&#39;s got to be one on.

Villains and Bad Guys

The best TV villains of all time rank among some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-tv-characters-of-all-time">greatest TV characters of all time</a> as well as some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/creepiest-characters-on-television">creepiest TV characters ever</a>. While some TV villains exist to make the lead characters appear more heroic, some of them are just plain old, nasty jerks. Regardless of their motivations, the top TV bad guys make us want to bust into the TV and kick some butt, fictional style.

Many of TV&#39;s greatest greatest villains didn&#39;t start that way; some of these men and women started out as virtuous people who took a skid into the darker ways of the world. Think of Breaking Bad&#39;s Gustavo Fring, a legitimate business man turned meth trafficking d-bag. Or Dexter Morgan who started out killing only bad guys and then went and got tangled up with killing people as a CYA offensive action. Of course, there&#39;s also people like&nbsp;Joffrey Baratheon of Game of Thrones&nbsp;and The Simpsons&#39; C. Montgomery Burns who seem to get off on tormenting people. They are the worst kind of awesome bad guys.

List of the greatest geeks in TV history. The <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-nerd-characters-movies/jodi-smith" target="_blank">best nerd characters</a> ever to hit the tiny screens are ranked here in order of greatness. Sure some of the characters might have annoyed us, but we never changed that dial once they appeared onscreen. These men and women are absolutely hilarious and absolutely awesome -- oh, and absolutely nerdy. It usually happens on TV when the door knocks and the dad is really disappointed to see who is on the other side. Like the way Carl Winslow looks when it&#39;s revealed to be Steve Urkel on Family Matters. TV nerds of all genders are ranked, ranging from sexy geeks like Liz Lemon to neurotic nerds like Adrian Monk. Who studies dinosaurs better than Ross Geller? Who knows more Pawnee history than Leslie Knope? These geeks made us smarter and sillier, like Lisa Simpson and Willow Rosenberg. While Willow was always the best friend and Dwight Schrute is just one of the employees, people like Larry David and iCarly (yes, both geeks) got shows to their geeky selves.

When a television show first starts, the writers of the program already have the star in mind. They write for the characters they think the audience will relate to and like the most and design the show around those characters. However, once the show hits the airwaves, the viewers don&rsquo;t always agree. Sometimes the true star of the show is the unlikeliest candidate. The breakout character is usually a character who was introduced as part of the supporting cast, but for one reason or another became a fan favorite. This list of the greatest breakout characters in TV history includes characters from both comedies and dramas and has been ranked by the community.

The breakout character on a TV show usually becomes the most discussed and most loved part of the show. He or she has the funniest lines, the best stories, and is portrayed by the favorite actor. After a positive audience reaction, these breakout characters suddenly start to get more screen time and story lines. Characters like <a href="https://groovyhistory.com/aaay-fonzie-happy-days-stories" target="_blank">Fonzie</a> and Ben Linus were never meant to be huge parts of their shows, but after their introduction, it was inevitable that they&rsquo;d become pivotal to the show&rsquo;s success. Some breakout characters, like Frasier Crane, even go on to star in their own series.

&nbsp;

Nothing beats a good <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-character-arcs/stephanroget?ref=search" target="_blank">character arc</a>,&nbsp;when heroes overcome&nbsp;the lies they&#39;ve believed and change&nbsp;irreversibly. Character development is the cornerstone of any good television series, and&nbsp;there&#39;s particular satisfaction in the arc of a villain turned ally. Who doesn&rsquo;t love watching someone become better?

Rather than villains who are introduced only to become <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/comic-villains-turned-superheroes/coy-jandreau" target="_blank">superheroes</a> or sporadic allies, let&rsquo;s look at characters who were introduced as antagonists, only to somehow become a beloved member of their series&rsquo; inner circle. We&rsquo;re talking Cordelia in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-144-buffy-episodes-as-ranked-by-fans/tvs-frank" target="_blank">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</a>&nbsp;or Vegeta from <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dragon-ball-z-mashups/stephanroget" target="_blank">Dragon Ball Z</a>: characters we truly hated when we met them, but who arguably end up more likable than the flagship hero (especially Vegeta in Dragon Ball Super).&nbsp;

So, take a trip down this list and decide for yourself which inadvertent rehabilitation was the most successful. Walter White&nbsp;breaks bad;&nbsp;these characters break good. (Be warned: Spoilers abound, so tread lightly on shows you haven&#39;t watched yet.)

Extroverts aren't all bad and sometimes their bold, outgoing nature is an asset to social situations and work environments. However, some extroverts can be a bit much,&nbsp;especially if you're on the more withdrawn, introverted side of the spectrum. Because quirky personalities and over-the-top characters sell, there is no shortage of annoying extroverted TV characters. Such characters have an insatiable&nbsp;need to relate to others, talk through their every thought, and constantly connect. Some fictional extroverts can be funny and charming,&nbsp;sure, but the worst of the bunch are emotionally needy and - frankly - just plain annoying.&nbsp;From&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-esfps/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">ESFPs</a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-entps/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">ENTPs</a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-estps/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">ESTP</a>s and onward, television runs the gamut of the extroversion. Sometimes, it gets old. Some fictional extroverts were fun at first, but their antics lost their appeal over the course of many seasons. Fans are increasingly fatigued with the endless quirkiness of&nbsp;New Girl's&nbsp;Jessica Day and - back in the '90s - Friends&nbsp;enthusiasts found Phoebe's boundless enthusiasm suffered from the law of diminishing returns.&nbsp;Other annoying TV characters that happen to sway to the extrovert side of the spectrum were abhorred from day one. Do fans of Petyr Baelish of&nbsp;Game of Thrones&nbsp;actually exist and wasn't Grey's Anatomy's&nbsp;Izzie Stevens&nbsp;always&nbsp;a little too holier-than-thou for the liking?&nbsp;Keep in mind, this is all a little&nbsp;subjective. Those of us with extroverted qualities may find these characters more relatable than annoying. But for introverts&nbsp;sensitive to the overhearing nature of extroverts, many of these characters are just too much.&nbsp;Which of these extroverted characters are the worst? Vote up the characters that drive you nuts and vote down the charaacters you find (mostly) tolerable.&nbsp;If you know of any <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-annoying-tv-and-film-characters-ever" target="_blank">annoying TV characters</a> who are extroverts,&nbsp;add them to the list!

Men have certainly received more than their fair share of diverse and complicated characters in the realm of television. Thankfully, now we&#39;re seeing more and more strong and complex women in mainstream entertainment as well. Elizabeth Moss, Viola Davis, Sandra Oh, Rachel Bloom, Kerry Washington, Robin Wright, and&nbsp;many others have been delivering powerhouse performances in recent years and stunning audiences with their immense talent. That being said, the industry still skews toward&nbsp;the preference for a &quot;leading man,&quot; and there are countless examples of men that represent every facet&nbsp;of masculinity.&nbsp;

So, what does it mean to be a man in America&nbsp;today? Is modern masculinity viewed&nbsp;as more reserved than in previous generations, or does it simply imply a level of openness and a different&nbsp;sense of responsibility? Or has masculinity stayed consistent over the years, and remained a constant as the world evolved&nbsp;around it? Vote up the tv characters that you feel most closely portray modern masculinity; vote down those that miss the mark.

Let&#39;s take a few minutes to&nbsp;give a shoutout to all the awkward people out there. While some characters on TV are all about being outgoing, these characters tend to constantly find themselves in uncomfortable situations. Whether they&rsquo;re introverts, quiet, or simply unaware of social norms, they&rsquo;re known for always saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Ross Geller from Friends&nbsp;probably quickly comes to mind for an awkward character list (perhaps telling a story about how the scent is added to gas), or the hilarious Gary Walsh from&nbsp;Veep. But who are the best awkward TV characters? Larry David from&nbsp;Curb Your Enthusiasm&nbsp;and Maurice Moss from the&nbsp;IT Crowd&nbsp;are also great contenders.

The best Dwight Schrute quotes chronicle the successful yet sometimes socially awkward life of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company salesman, manager, assistant to the general manager, and assistant general manager, Dwight Kurt Schrute III. Portrayed by Rainn Wilson on the NBC series The Office, Dwight Schrute is one of the most&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-saturday-night-live-characters-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">popular characters</a> on the comedy series, which also has starred the likes of Steve Carrell, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, B.J. Novak, and Ed Helms.

Modeled after Gareth Keenan of the original British version of The Office, Dwight Schrute thoroughly enjoys feeling superior to his co-workers and often expresses his feelings of his superiority. Between arguing over his title with Michael or simply <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dwight-schrute-best-moments-the-office/rachel-kollar" target="_blank">expressing his place in the food chain</a> (he&#39;s the lion), Dwight has few issues with self-esteem and the funny lines embody his confidence and gusto.

Despite his&nbsp;strong will, Dwight is often the victim of pranks and jokes from his <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/full-cast-of-the-office-cast-list-for-the-show-the-office/reference">office coworkers</a>, especially desk-mate Jim Halpert and general manager Michael Scott. Dwight has little sense of humor but often inadvertently provides humor to his office-mates by being gullible and naive, such as when Jim tried to convince him that the actual Benjamin Franklin was in the office.

Whether he&#39;s talking about Schrute Farms, his favorite series Battlestar Galactica, or his own superhuman strength, a benefit of absorbing his own twin while in the womb, Dwight Schrute never fails to provide some of the most&nbsp;memorable, funniest quotes on The Office.

Movie and TV Quotes

Dunder Mifflin paper salesman&nbsp;Dwight Schrute, played by <a href="https://theoffice.fandom.com/wiki/Dwight_Schrute" target="_blank">Rainn Wilson</a>, is an intense personality, to say the least. He&#39;s competitive,&nbsp;difficult, and uncompromising, and he causes trouble in the Dunder Mifflin Scranton office as often as he makes sales. At first, his best moments are presented as the yin&nbsp;to Jim Halpert&rsquo;s yang -&nbsp;Dwight is an antihero posing as a supporting character. He&rsquo;s characterized as the guy who gets left out and&nbsp;the weirdo no one relates to. However, he&#39;s also caring, dedicated, loyal, and relentlessly himself, which makes him one of the most lovable Office characters.&nbsp;

Over the course of the show, Dwight Schrute becomes&nbsp;synonymous with Dunder Mifflin and transforms&nbsp;into the leader he always wanted to be. He falls in love with uptight coworker Angela&nbsp;and develops genuine friendships with his coworkers, especially <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/compelling-evidence-jim-cheated-on-pam-in-the-office/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Jim and Pam</a>. Dwight Schrute&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/dwight-schrute-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">funniest moments and quotes</a> have become an unforgettable&nbsp;part of The Office. By loving Dwight, we learn to love ourselves and accept whatever makes us defiantly unique.

One of the staples (LOL) of The Office was the ongoing battle of escalating pranks and shenanigans between Jim Halpert and Dwight Schrute. One of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-office-running-jokes/ranker-tv" target="_blank">the best running jokes of The Office</a> was how thoroughly and consistently Jim messed with Dwight. Whether it featured words, practical jokes, or physical pranks, the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dwight-schrute-best-moments-the-office/rachel-kollar" target="_blank">Jim and Dwight rivalry</a> never failed to result in a humorous moment. 

Unfortunately for Dwight, when it came to pranks on The Office, Jim tended to have the upper hand the majority of the time, and these are the best of the best when it comes to pranks Jim played on Dwight. Vote up the ones that made you laugh the hardest and vote down any you thought were as lame as Michael on the basketball court.
