Sitcom Characters Who Quietly Stole the Show

 Guess what? We’re diving back into sitcom talk again!


We are all aware that sitcoms produce unique, quirky and unforgettable characters. They carry the heart and humour of the entire series. We recognise certain characters by just the mention of the show names. Yet, all these shows are filled with some underrated characters who silently carried the show. Let's dive into the list of underrated sitcom characters.


Schmidt (New Girl)



Twenty-noineeee! I can literally hear his voice. Schmidt is one of the best characters in the show, and if he is not in one scene, you tend to miss him. Strong characterisation is an important factor when it comes to sitcom characters. Schmidt is a character with multiple layers. His obsessive cleaning, His unique no-boundary dynamic with Nick(his best friend) and his childhood flashbacks are hilarious to watch. On the other side, he loves Cece Parikh (wife) with all his heart, and he never gave up on Nick, no matter what. Though this show is based on Jessica Day( Joey Deshcanel), the new girl herself, Schmidt steals the show. 


Doug Judy (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)



Hands down, one of the underrated yet iconic characters in this show. He is not a series regular in the show, yet he shines within a strong set of characters. Though he is a criminal in a cop show, His every guest appearance is an unskippable episode with his unexpected entries. The ironic friendship between Doug Judy( a criminal) and Jake Peralta(a cop) is the main attraction of his episodes. also, Rosa.. rosaaa.


Jacob Hill (Abbott Elementary)



He is a politically informed yet innocent and unapologetically weird character who caught viewers' eyes amidst many iconic characters. Abbott Elementary is a sitcom that takes place in an underfunded school among teachers. Jacob is the only teacher who accepts sarcastic comments from students and keeps going like nothing happened, which makes him hilarious and oddly pure. It also shows that he always puts his students first in all situations. His dynamic with Gregory needs a special mention.


Jay Pritchett (Modern Family)



Phew! This is the hardest choice to make. But I have to go with Jay Pritchett. I always love watching the arc of flawed characters changing themselves as the seasons go by. Jay Pritchett is the patriarch of the house. He is shown as an emotionally closed character in earlier seasons, who changes into an amazing father, husband, and grandfather as the season progresses. He always puts his family first and shows his love in his own way, which makes viewers attach to this character. 


Judge Gen (The Good Place)



Yes, Janet and Jason are underrated characters, but Judge Gen steals every scene. It is played by the iconic Maya Rudolph. Need I say more? She is hilarious and adds to an already amazing cast of this show. She’s a cosmic being in charge of dividing people into the Good Place and the Bad Place. Her delivery, timing, and total randomness make her one of the funniest parts of an already brilliant show.


There are also some special mentions like Gunther from Friends, Winston and Coach from New Girl and so on. Honestly, it will be a never-ending list.


Who would you add to this list?

Let me brainwash you into watching sitcoms

  “I declare bankcruptcyyyy”  If you read that in Michael Scott's voice, then you are one of us, a sitcom lover. I started watching Sitcoms when I was in University. A Friends scene popped up on my YouTube recommendations. Ironically, I watched the finale first. But it was so funny and oddly comforting that I went back and binged all the seasons. Since then, I’ve fallen deep into the sitcom rabbit holes.  There is something about watching sitcoms which creates a safe and calm feeling. It will give you an instant feeling like you are included in something warm and pleasant. I believe this is the reason for people to rewatch the same sitcoms many times. Let me give you a few more reasons why you should start watching sitcoms. They are relatable I believe everyone has the urge to feel included, and sitcoms are best at doing it. Remember when Monica asked, “Do you have a plan?” and Phoebe responded with, “I don’t even have a pla ...”? It was hilarious and validating. It remin...

Tengah healing ke tu? A needed escape to Gunung Jerai

Sometimes all we need is a different perspective.  We often get caught up in routines and forget why we push ourselves so hard. At the core, it’s to live the life we dream of. And that takes effort, discipline, and sometimes, a bit of healing. I recently took a long-planned, but impromptu trip to Jerai Hill (Gunung Jerai), which allowed me to relax and stay mindful in the present moment.  To be very honest, I just wanted to escape from the scorching hot weather recently. Malaysia is filled with famous hill stations, and Gunung Jerai is an underrated one. Let me just walk you through everything I loved about Gunung Jerai.  Buckle up! (No, really) Like any hill destination, you need to drive through the beautiful greenery, which makes you think about what else is beautiful you haven't witnessed yet in life. The roads are well-maintained, and there are clear horn signs along the way. It’s a drive that asks you to be both careful and present, watching the road while soaking i...
