Who are your 3 favorite sidekicks of all time?

Cafe Society
21

Actually I’ll go with Zorak.

22

Ed Norton
Rhoda Morgenstern
Barney Fife

23

So many to choose from.

Hermione Granger
Chewbacca
Nanny Ogg, if you can consider her a sidekick rather than a force of nature unto herself

Samwise Gamgee, Willow Rosenberg, and Susan Sto Helit are runners up. In fact, Death has a number of interesting sidekicks. I liked The Death of Rats and Albert as well as Susan. Mort and Ysabell were a little too bland to be among my favorites.

24

Actually not, because I don’t really care for them, but because they come in a three-pack:

The Wonder Twins and Gleek.

25

Sam Gamgee is a good one. I’ll go with him for #1.

Peter the Oakwood Estates town drunk emeritus, now sidekicking for Rex O’Herlihan, the Singing Cowboy will be #2.

Sky High Hero Support teacher Mr. Boy (who, as All-American Boy, sidekicked for The Commander) in the #3 slot.

(I might have tried a Doctor Who companion, but around here, that’s just asking for a holy war.)

26

Eddie Haskell – Wally Cleaver
Toto – Dorothy Gale
Francisco d’Anconia – John Galt

27

Baldrick, from Blackadder.
Morgan Grimes, from Chuck.
Cisco Ramon, from The Flash.

28

Dr Watson - Sherlock Holmes (surprised this one is getting more love)
Samwise Gamgee - Frodo Baggins
Chewbacca - Han Solo

29

I’m surprised Prof. Pepperwinkle didn’t mention Jack Larson as Jimmy Olson to George Reeves’ Superman.

30

Well, I should point out that he hasn’t returned any of my texts for literally years.

31

I thought about it, but I couldn’t decide between Leela or Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart.

32

Watson/Holmes

Don Knotts/Andy Griffith

Paul Shaffer/Dave Letterman

33

Damn … completely nin’ja’ed …

#4) Danny Madigan 'kicking for Jack Slater in Last Action Hero … “Wait a second, I’M the sidekick in this movie here for comic relief … why am I doing 80 mph on my bike down this hill ???”

#5) Lord Talmanes Delovinde 'kicking for Matrim Cauthon … “Yes, Mat, all nobility are stuck-up twits” … “Yes, Mat, all women twist men to do their bidding” … “Yes, Mat, nothing good comes from the One Power”

#6) Lil’ Ed 'kicking for The Master … hey, professional editors are few and far between anymore …

34
  1. Barney Fife - Andy Taylor
  2. Niles Crane - Frasier Crane
  3. Buddy Sorrell - Rob Petrie
    mmm
35

Mole (Wind in the Willows)
Samwise Gamgee (Lord of the Rings)
Arthur (The Tick)

36

I’ve always liked super-loyal sidekicks to evil characters for some reason. Smithers to Mr. Burns, for example. Or Kobayashi to Kaiser Soze, Owen to Zanatos, Wesley to Kingpin.

37

Gaston - Alphonse

38

Carl Reiner - Mel Brooks

39

Elwood => Jake Blues
The Waco Kid => Sheriff Bart
Penfeld => Danger Mouse

40

I’ll go with these two, as I like sidekicks who rival the person they’re sidekicking.

And I’ll go with the Jude Law version of Doctor Watson, a vast improvement over any previous Holmes sidekick I’ve found.
