Well not really sad, but more along the lines of depressing. Kind of in the same vein as Norm from Cheers. Sure he makes funny one liners and is featured in a comedic sitcom, but in the big picture, he's just a guy stuck in a dead end job who tries to drink his troubles away every night. Who are some similar characters?

Michael Scott- He really has no actually friends, his girlfriend thougt he would make such a bad gene donor that she was artificially insemenated and he has little understanding of the world around him. But he tries so hard and he is a nice person that just trips himself up.

On a similar note Frank Burns (on the tv show): He's a bad doctor, a cowardly person and he needs to hold on to his limited authority to have any meaning at all.

You forgot he was molested by the way. God that guy is depressing. |

I'm going to go ahead and continue the MASH stuff and say Henry Blake. You watch a lot of the episodes with him...and he's a goof and doesn't get any respect and cheats on his wife and all sorts of other stuff...but he's really lovable. Then you see episodes where his wife is cheating on him and you see him get all torn up over it...and you feel bad for him...still in other episodes you see his wife send him video from his little girl's birthday with the heartbreaking "I Love You" mouthed by his wife...
...And Henry Blake doesn't make it back home. He's a fictional character, and yet I find myself crying for Henry Blake!

Michael from Arrested Development is kinda sad. His wife died of cancer, leaving him to raise his son by himself. He has to repair the damage his father did to the company. His mother doesn't respect him as the future(the argument could be made that he is present, in the timeline of the show) patriarch of the family(or at least doesn't show it). His siblings(and brother-in-law) are idiots who mooch off of him. He doesn't have the best of luck with the opposite sex(which is something even his two idiot brothers were able to accomplish), and he often tries to overcompensate for others' mistakes/shortcomings, which often times brings him more trouble, and very little reward.
Plus, he lives in a shoddily-built model home.

I always end up feeling bad for Charlie, so much so that sometimes it kills my enjoyment of the show. You forgot he was molested by the way. God that guy is depressing. he wasnt actually molested, that was just the McPoyle's trying to scam money Yeah, he was just going along with it at first only to expose the McPoyle's scam. Oddly enough, while most of the Always Sunny cast can be considered "sad", Charlie is in my eyes the only likable one. Usually his heart is in the right place (even if he does get a bit obsessed) and not many of the bad things that happen are his fault (unless you count sniffing too much glue), whereas the rest of them deserve to have bad things happen to them in some shape or form. |
