Off the top of my head, I think Kit Cloudkicker (from Disney’s “TaleSpin”) has a nice ring to it.
Bob: “Actually I was going to stay in my office tonight and work on my law blog.”
Tobias: "Of course. The Bob Loblaw Law Blog.
Token on South Park always makes me giggle.
In the late 50s there was a cartoon on the Captain Kangaroo show called Tom Terrific. One of the characters in the cartoon had a name that made me laugh, then and now:
Isotope Feaney
You can’t mention Seinfeld without “Cosmo Kramer.”
“Growing Pains” had established that Mike’s long time friend was called “Boner.” Eventually it came out that his real name was Richard Stabone, and his father’s name was Sylvester.
Mike: Wait a minute. Your father’s name is Sylvester Stabone?
Boner: Who knew?
If we’re allowed to use Monty Python names, this is going to be a long thread…
I think Family Guy has some great names- Glenn Quagmire is one of my favourites. It’s odd enough to be a great “Joke name”, but serious enough to actually be someone’s name.
Futurama’s Bender Bending Rodriguez is also sublimely brilliant, too.
From 30 Rock, there’s Dr. Leo Spaceman, pronounced spa-CHAY-mun.
Howie Mandell’s Bobby Generic (pronounced gen-ER-ic)
Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent
Anastasia Beaverhausen.
It makes me giggle a little bit.
The long-ago superhero comedy Captain Nice, which starred a pre-KITT (and even a pre-John adams) William Daniels as Carter Nash* had a policewoman named Candy Kane.
And what about The Girl from U.N.C.L.E., April Dancer
Female operatives are a great source for James Bondesque cute names, like the eponymous Honey West
But, of course, you can’t beeat Emma Peel from The Avengers. Reportedly, she was chosen for her Appeal to a Male Audience (“M Appeal” = “Emma Peel”). don’t know if it’s true, but it’s cute.
His belt buckle had “CN” on it, so when he appeared “in costume” with it showing and was asked what it stood for, he came up with “Captain Nice”. Oh, well, ay least it’s marginally better than his competition (opposite him in the same time slot) – “Mr. Terrific”. He didn’t have an initialed belt buckle.
Some old guy who used to write for a lot of TV series in the 70s and 80s - I assume he was old, and that there was just one of him - got into the habit of naming supporting characters after forgotten 30s and 40s jazz musicians. I caught on after an ep of Murder, She Wrote where a Russian diplomat was named “Serge Chaloff”.
Doesn’t his ID card say Dwight Fart Schrute?
Tobias Funke
Maeby Funke (and her alter ego, Surely)
Gob
White Power
Ho Luk (“This must be my Ho Lucky day”)
Yu Wah?
Kim Possible.
“Doctor Bombay” has always rolled nicely off the tongue.
Rocket J. Squirrel, and every other cartoon character with the middle initial “J.”
Fat Tony.
tdn, don’t you mean “White Power Bill?”
Mentioned but never seen on Married with Children, Dadgummit the Mule from Al’s favorite show. Perfect.
Oops, yeak. And by Ho Luk, I meant Kim Luk. Man, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen MASH.
Especially when they mentioned (4th or 5th season?) that his last name actually is “Black”.
Also from South Park: Leopold “Butters” Stotch, and Professor Chaos’s sidekick “General Disarray”.
“Disco Stu doesn’t advertise.”
I got to thinking about this, and it reminded me of the movie Night Patrol. One of the female police officers is named Sue Perman. There’s a hilarious scene with her and the police captain (played by Billy Barty):
Captain: “… and I don’t want any of your crap tonight!”
Sue: “Oh, Captain… I feel… ill.”
Cpatain: “What’s the matter, Sue Perman? You don’t like those words - ‘Crap Tonight’?”
