I did Joey from Friends and Ray from Everyone Loves Raymond.
It asks enough questions so if it didn't guess who i was i'd be worried.

I don't believe that. One of the questions is "Do you run a hotel?"

In no way is it only US sitcoms - it can get various characters from The Office and got Alan Partridge.

In my experience of it the main reason it does not get characters is that us punters get a question wrong because we don't know enough about the characters.

There are a lot it does not know and even more it does seem to know - some after only a handful of questions!! Overall I would give it 8 out of 10 for being pretty smart so surprised anyone here beat it

Rannoch

PS The reason I don't think it gets Boddicea is that there are so many different spellings so it is not correlating the answers.

Well, I win this round. You are player number 9 to pick Oz Osbourne from Auf Wiedersehen Pet, and what a clever choice it was! You almost had me for a while, but you let your guard down. Don't worry, it happens to all of us sooner or later. Please play again, and next time I'll be ready for you, Oz Osbourne from Auf Wiedersehen Pet.

Not a US sitcom, I believe

See:

I win again! You are player number 427 to have chosen Albert Arkwright from Open All Hours. I knew you were Albert Arkwright from Open All Hours from the start, but I strung you along for a while to make it seem more sporting. I hope that one day you will overcome the powerful sense of humiliation that you now feel. Until then, good luck.

I find all sorts of things funny, not least some of the fecking idiots that seem to infest this place (along with the odd bright spark of course )

But if I was to think of "some fcukwit off scoobynet who doesn't even seem to know what a sitcom is" I doubt it would get that either, rendering the entire exercise more futile than it already is.

Looks like my 3 years of studying his character at Her Majesties Sitcom College all went down the pan then

How was I to know that he once had a pet shrimp called Simon long before the shows inception, but who was once mentioned in passing by a smaller than usual water vole called Larry who didnt have an equity card but got his voice on camera in an outside broadcast on scene 3 of episode 1 series 2???
