Although its main attraction is its celebrity roasts, some of Comedy Central’s scripted programming has been lauded among the funniest stuff on television. Ever since Trey Parker and Matt Stone legitimized the network with their wildly popular animated satire South Park, Comedy Central has been the home to some of TV’s most hilarious icons.

With both the main casts of sitcoms like Broad City and Awkwafina is Nora from Queens and recurring sketches on shows like Chappelle’s Show and Key & Peele, Comedy Central has provided a haven for some hysterical characters. These are the funniest characters from the network’s airwaves.

Meegan

Jordan Peele as Meegan

Played by Jordan Peele opposite Keegan-Michael Key as her boyfriend André, Meegan is the quintessential "annoying girlfriend."

If she doesn’t get her way, she storms out of the club and André follows her until they both starve to death in the middle of a desert.

Butters Stotch

Butters in South Park

In the early seasons of South Park, Butters was just a background character. However, he’s since evolved into the most childish and naïve kid at South Park Elementary. He’s constantly getting bullied by his classmates and grounded by his parents, but Butters has still managed to find himself at the center of some of South Park’s best storylines.

Nora

Awkwafina is Nora from Queens

As the title itself would suggest, the title character in Awkwafina is Nora from Queens is a fictionalized version of Awkwafina herself. The only difference is that Awkwafina is famous, so she can afford her own place.

Nora is a slacker approaching 30 who still lives with her dad and grandma. She’s a perfect example of a passive protagonist who’s constantly faced with obstacles. In the pilot episode, she attempts to move out, but accidentally burns down her friend’s house.

Tron Carter

Dave Chappelle as Tron Carter

Dave Chappelle played many great recurring characters in Chappelle’s Show, but one of the funniest was cocaine dealer Tron Carter, who pushes around a baby he bought with cash in a stroller.

Tron appeared on The Mad Real World, he showed up in a spoof of Law & Order, he was tortured by Method Man — he was used in all kinds of contexts.

Luther (Obama’s Anger Translator)

Key and Peele as Luther and Obama

Peele’s spot-on impersonation of Barack Obama (reported to be Obama’s favorite impression of himself) found its perfect comic match with Luther, his “anger translator.” Luther was created in response to Obama’s famously cool demeanor.

According to Luther, Obama does feel anger; he just doesn’t express it. So, Luther expresses it for him. Key appeared as Luther alongside the real Obama at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2015.

Randy Marsh

Randy in South Park

When Trey Parker and Matt Stone started making South Park, they were young and related the most to the core four boys, but as the series has gone on and they’ve gotten older, they’ve found themselves relating more to Stan’s dad, Randy Marsh.

Whether he’s getting into fights at his son’s baseball games or trying to run a Blockbuster Video in the streaming age, Randy is always one of the show’s funniest characters.

Rick James

Dave Chappelle as Rick James

In a series of recurring sketches on Chappelle’s Show called “Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Stories,” Eddie Murphy’s comedian brother tells stories about various celebrities he used to hang out with. While the sketch in which Prince annihilates Murphy in a game of basketball is hysterical, it’s not quite as iconic as the Rick James skit.

Chappelle’s impression of James was so beloved that it almost ended his career, as he was constantly being heckled during standup shows with his catchphrases, like “I’m Rick James, b**ch!”

Ilana Wexler

Ilana in Broad City

These next two entries are basically tied, because the stars of Broad City are as hysterical as each other. The fact that Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer are best friends in real life made their dynamic on the show ring a lot truer than the average sitcom.

Ilana drifts from job to job, doing the bare minimum to get her paycheck, and then spends all those paychecks on weed. Both she and Abbi are confident, but Ilana is easily the most extroverted of the pair.

Abbi Abrams

Abbi in Broad City

Ilana’s bestie Abbi is a lot more socially awkward. At the beginning of the series, Abbi works as a janitor at a gym called Soulstice and dreamed of climbing the Soulstice ladder. As the show went on, her ambitions grew as she tried to make it as an artist.

Abbi is technically two brilliant characters rolled into one, because she turns into her curious alter ego Val whenever she gets blackout drunk.

Eric Cartman

Cartman in South Park

Easily the most iconic character to come out of a Comedy Central original series is South Park’s Eric Cartman. Conceived as an eight-year-old version of All in the Family’s Archie Bunker, Eric has since evolved into a symbol of pure evil.

Starting with season 5’s “Scott Tenorman Must Die,” there has been no limit to the depths of Cartman’s evil – and he’s faced consequences for his heinous actions every time.
