10 Actors Who Are Actually Much Better Than The TV Shows They're In

3. Patrick Warburton - Rules Of Engagement

Mcginley Patrick Warburton (aka Joe from Family Guy) plays a lead role in the frankly banal Rules of Engagement, which occupies the early, early evening slots on primetime TV (I mean really early). In it he's the manly man who's so manly that even manly stuff isn't manly enough for him. Did I mention that he was manly? Rules of Engagement is difficult to watch at the best of times. Although Warburton's character Jeff isn't so bad, David Spade is simply distasteful as the not-so-hot but still somehow successful ladies man, while the female characters have very little about them, and there's one other guy that doesn't do much. All in all, it's boring. But Patrick Warburton has shined in a range of other parts in far more respectable pieces of film and TV: everyone loves him as Joe Swanson in Family Guy and he was utterly hilarious as the nut-job at work who keeps having violent gay encounters that he doesn't remember in Ted. He's even shown up in a Disney film, voicing the comically inept and aptly named Kronk in The Emperor's New Groove. Sort it out, Joe - I mean, Patrick.
