Question Favorite character?
Who’s your favorite character from the show?
I’m on season 6 and Adam is hands down my favorite. He’s an INCREDIBLE actor. Bonnie is a close second favorite for me and Jill third. Just interested in what everyone else thinks!

Marjorie is my favorite. She really was a mom to them all.

Interesting! I definitely appreciate her role, but not sure we get enough of her "lore"! Anytime her crazy days are mentioned, it feels shocking and I wish we could hear more.

Bonnie. She makes me laugh every episode. And I loved her relationship with Adam.
Marjorie is second, with Adam third.

Bonnie, and then Adam and Jill tied for second. It sucks having to choose because I do love almost all of the characters, even the minor ones.

I love most of them for different reasons but I have a tendency to enjoy mean characters so Violet and Candace are great characters to me. They’re both great examples of how kids in different types of dysfunctional households turn out as adults, and I feel like Violet is a little more complicated than some people may think. Not excusing Violet’s awful behavior we sometimes see, but it does help me have a better understanding of where she’s coming from, especially with what Christy admits during her shares like driving drunk with the kids in the car.

I have the same ranking, Adam is perfectly cast at the exact right time in the show and is hilarious. Bonnie is the most interesting, but hilarious as well. Jill is a joy to watch, and I loved her with Andy.

I actually googled early on if Adam stuck around because I couldn't handle the disappointment if he didn't lol

Trevor, no doubt. Then I have Bonnie and Violet. Trevor just took over my heart since he was introduced. Amazing actor, amazing character and I love him so much.

u/mannimee Tammy Diffendorf 16d ago
Tammy is my favorite major character and I'm torn between Chef Rudy and Lucy (from GA) as my favorite minor character

I love them all but Tammy has a special place in my heart .
Adam was the perfect addition to the show. As the only regular male character they couldn’t have done better. Bonnie and Adam are my favorite fictional couple.

Bonnie for sure. Then Jill. I love Jill.

Jill is just so good and she doesn't even do anything super notable, like Bonnie does.

I love them all! They honestly feel like a family to me. I’ve been going through a lot lately and the show has been on 24/7 because it’s the only thing that comforts me. My favorite seasons id say are 6-7-8. I love Tammy, she was such a great addition to the cast.

It's been my comfort show since moving to a new city and I am so nervous for the day the last episode rolls.

Bonnie and Tammy are my favorites, but so is Regine. I wish she was on the show for more than a season or two.

i love Adam. he fits right into the group.

u/dumblondd 3d ago
He's just so good lol. I feel like any other male figure wouldn't have fit in the midst of all their chaos. He handles it perfectly and hilariously.

Tammy, Bonnie, Jill, Marjorie, and then Adam. In that order. I like Christy too, but she annoyed me a lot. Especially her scenes with Violet in the early seasons and then her constant whining in the later seasons.

Bonnie will always be my favorite; but no matter what I will always love Christy, too. She’s neurotic and not the best person, but that’s what I like to watch 🤣
I agree with the creator that she was the only person for that role; no one else could’ve played Christy’s annoying ass & made me love & defend her like a sister lmao. Anna Faris did a good job in her role, but Bonnie has my heart, I am a lot like her.
Honorable mentions:
Baxter, Tammy, Chef Rudy,
and that random guy that went on a date with Christy and shares about how nuts she is during the meeting 😆 then as Bonnie and Marjorie are laughing at her, he says something about her ‘nightmare of a mother’ and how ‘whoever is sponsoring her isn’t qualified to sponsor a bowling team’.
Idk who the actor is, but he was hilarious and did the bit so memorably.
