Funny names thread for fictional comedy names that are funny

[The Mollusk]

No way to dress up that title and make it sound less pathetic is there?

Anyway LOVE A BIT OF THIS DON'T WE, funny names? I genuinely do. I'm serious.

PhoneShop has some great ones. French Connecky Becky makes me laugh for how on-point it is. There's another episode where they mention a guy called Trevor which is met with confusion until it's clarified "Trevor Trevor" which I love.

Ideal: Big Darren, Little Darren and the later reveal of Flu Strength Darren. And of course Amanda With the Weird Eyes.

Could write a book of all the good ones in Chris Morris' work but the simplicity and wispy delivery of Eugene Fraxby is the one that pops into my head the most.

What else? Oh yeah, of course, Artie Fufkin.

[Utter Shit]

The best I've ever heard was Ken Theft. Armando Iannucci just casually threw it out in an interview once, it's perfect.

The Carry On films were great for names.

Ron Shelf might be my favourite Morris name. Leonard Hatred also very strong

[Hobo With A Shit Pun]

Further love for Ideal from this corner, and surprise that Clem Fandango et al from Toast hasn't been instantly mentioned.

Viv Stanshall gave us Blind Ben Quakebuttock, for which I am grateful.

The best ones don't try too hard.

[BeardFaceMan]

Dr. Willseeyounow is hard to beat.

[Shaky]

It's not big or clever, but the revelation in Big Beacon that Alan knows someone called Richard Juice - formerly "Dick" Juice until some women complained - had me in absolute hysterics.

[Gurke and Hare]

Immoral Timothy

Dr. Willseeyounow is hard to beat.

Dr Notthenineoclocknews

I frequently mix up Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling and Grytpype-Thynne, but they're both excellent names that instantly evoke a particular kind of posh bastard.

[The Mollusk]

Helen Mucus

[bgmnts]

Python had some worldies:

Mr. Ken Verybigliar
Mrs Entity
Anne Elk


And yeah for Ideal I do find the name Cartoon Head funny.

[BeardFaceMan]

Suckmaster Burstingfoam

I'm amazed that F&L managed to get Ted Cunterblast past the censors back in the late 80s, and Hugh really leans into that first syllable of the surname too. And in (I think) the first sketch of the first show of the first series. Not bad.

[Gulftastic]

Professor Lilloman from High Anxiety

Filton Kingswood from Harry Enfield's Playboys sketch

[BeardFaceMan]

Immoral Timothy

Im sure Guy Ritchie got his ideas for gangster names from Ralph Filthy.

[Des Wigwam]

Pat Butcher

Eastenders - no reaction
Ghosts - funny every time I think about it

Roger Prentiss the apprentice dentist

[iamcoop]

Always loved the simplicity of Ray Purchase.

Arthur Mathews always had a great ear for a funny name.

[Russ L]

I like real names that sound like a comedy name that you can't quite work out.

Teddy Pendergrass
Trent Reznor

(Probably a massive overlap with the "why do Americans have stupid names" thread).

[Cold Meat Platter]

Form Blackadder:

Mr (and Mrs) Ploppy (not related)
Mr Pants
Kevin Darling
General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett

[The Mollusk]

General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett

Sir Denis Eton-Hogg is another from Spinal Tap that I really like. Bobbi Flekman is oddly perfect for the character too.

[Twonty Gostelow]

Suckmaster Burstingfoam

Frigme Popplehate-Fresharse from the same sketch.

Also Gelliant Gutfright for Fry's sinister Lustgarten/Dahl-style presenter is just perfect.

[Brundle-Fly]

Barry Cryer said the original name for Kenny Everett's drag act character was 'Mary Hinge' but the BBC deemed it far too rude, So he went back with 'Cupid Stunt' and the execs passed it as ok.

It's never occurred to me until now. If Cupid Stunt was the name of a drag act character why did they have a boy's name? The new spoonerism was funnier, but Mary Hinge makes more sense.

Reporters Caramel and Waffle
Gary Cheeseman (aka Sniper's dream)
