20 Best TV Comedy Characters Of The 21st Century

20. Abed Nadir - Community

Community is getting a much needed attention boost, now the show has been added to Netflix. Despite being produced by Rick and Morty creator Dan Harmon and the Russo brothers of Avengers fame, the show has always managed to stay under the radar. That being said, the cult hit has a large spot in fans hearts.

The show boasts an insanely talented cast, including Alison Brie, Donald Glover and Jim Rash to name a few. Yet it was Danny Pudi who truly shone as Abed Nadir. Acting as the binding to the show's storybook, Abed is consistently hilarious with his meta antics.

Abed is constantly struggling to be understood, something most people can relate to. His creativity provides a much needed outlet for him, but often gets him into trouble. Despite his confidence, when Abed's emotions get the best of him it can be catastrophic.

There is an implication throughout the show that Abed may have an Asperger's like disorder. Though this is never confirmed, the show often receives credit for portraying a character with Asperger's, without drawing direct attention to it.

Overall, it's Abed's personality helps him stand out as one of the best characters. His reality bending brand of humour entertains viewers while also making them feel like part of the show themselves.
