Pretty much everyone from Spongebob Squarepants (Sandy Cheeks, Gary the snail, even the obvious Mr Krabs)
Amber von Tussle, Prudence Pingleton, and the Turnblads from Hairspray

[Old Thrashbarg]

Gene Parmesan

Glorious. But it begs the question, did you feel nominating your own username would be too on-the-nose?

Other favourites from Arrested Development include Tobias Fünke, Barry Zuckerkorn and Larry Middleman.

Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan

[BJBMK2]

Our report now from Michael Philip Philip Philip Philip Annoyman.

Colin Occupantsofinterplanetarycraft

Ah well if we're doing those, got to have Colin Allstationstoharlowtownbishopsstortford-audleyendandcambridge.  Which was particularly joyous for me as that was my local line, and often my actual train, at the time.

Nice when you get an unexpected local reference. Remember watching Alas Smith & Jones and in one of their chat bits Mel Smith said "where did you read that?" and GRJ replied "the Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham News". Well we just roared.

There's a footballer called Stern John, which always made me laugh because it sounds like a friend of Immoral Timothy and Huge Simon.

Hiroshima Twinkie
Spodo Komodo
Henry Bigbigging

Soupy Norman

Tread Nevers was just a perfect name for an emo bard in one of the side campaigns of Not Another D&D Podcast.

In real life, I think I have mentioned Brenda O'Nions on CaB before.
Bending the rules a bit, I also remember a client who wouldn't provide his actual name so we had to log him on the database using his email - Smoochy Magician. There were discussions over whether "Dear Smoochy" was an appropriate way to start a response letter.

[The Mollusk]

Always felt like they should've gone with "Homer S. Jimpson" there.

[BeardFaceMan]

I remember an episode of Paul F Tompkins Spontaneanation where as they were setting the game up, PFT described a harp glissando effect for when a scene goes back in time. And then when the scene started, one of the comedians introduced himself as "Glissando, Dr. Harp Glissando", which is a great comedy name even without the little back reference.

[Shaxberd]

The mention of Paul F Tompkins reminded me, through a few leaps of mental association, to Bob Ducca's list of heroes:

I usually find Comedy Bang Bang a bit of a slog but damn those are some great silly names

[BeardFaceMan]

Key & Peele doing their American Footballer names, I think Cartoons Plural might be my fave.

[Minneapolis Fuckhat]
