10 Best Comedy Movie Characters Of The 21st Century

10. Shaun - Shaun Of The Dead

Horror/comedy films are notoriously hit and miss. For every good flick, there are five dreadful attempts. Thankfully, in the hands of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, Shaun of the Dead had no chance of being a dud. The 2004 film was a financial and critical success, making five times its budget and winning multiple film awards.

Shaun of the Dead is centred around the titular character, a man stuck in a dead-end job and dull routine. He, at first, seems like the least likely person to take a leadership role in a zombie apocalypse, yet that is what he has to do as he tries desperately to save his friends and family.

The film acts as a redemption story as he proves to everyone that he isn’t the lazy, good for nothing loser everyone thinks he is.
