Talking Funniest character in a film??

I mean characters that are funny without trying to be.

For example, my choice would be......

http://www.thatsonpoint.com/articles/images/bennett.bmp

"bennett, I thought you were...." "dead??! you thought wrong.....".

"let off some steam bennett"

lol F$cking class.

Alot of these are characters that are designed to be funny. I mean characters that aren't supposed to be funny - but are.

bad example then with bennet, what director puts an overwieght 2 cent has been aussie actor in a chainmail vest up against captian corny ( arnie ), as a serious role?

bennet was always going to be funny, maybe this guy is more like it..

Gotta agree with Aliens

DRAKE: They ain't payin' us enough for this.

DIETRICH: Not enough to have to wake up to your face Drake.

DRAKE: Hey, Hicks...you look like I feel.

HUDSON: This floor's freezing.

APONE: Christ. I never saw such a buncha old women. You want me to fetch your slippers, Hudson?

HUDSON: Would you, Sir?

Or

BURKE: I suggest you study the disks Ripley has been kind enough to prepare for you.

GORMAN: Are there any questions? Hudson?

HUDSON: How do I get out of this chicken-sh*t outfit?

Simon.

Bare in mind th ough, MJ. This was 1985......20 years ago. Benneet, a well built, Aussie hard man with a metal string vest was considered "ard". Now, it's simply funy.

Watch Commando again, he was intended to be a nasty b&stard but actually was a comedic character....nowadays anyway.

bloody americans! I can't believe they even ripped off the bridge ending.

BTW, anyone that hasn't seen the original - WHY NOT!!!!
