re: Funniest character in Caddyshack

Watched a documentary a few years back on the making of this movie and a few of the actors actresses said they all partied hard late into the night during filming. They said Dangerfield was partying as hard as any of them. Said that Ted Knight was very very unhappy about this which was much like his uptight role in the movie.

Has to be Bill Murray for me.

Same for me. He's always been the funniest part of the movie for me.

Really, any time you have to swing a club-like sporting instrument. Baseball bat, croquet mallet, polo.

I'd add any athlete, in a big moment for them, at that time. From golf on TV to a junior high kid shooting a big free throw.

Ted Knight is one of the great straight men in comedy. In his Ted Baxter role from the Mary Tyler Moore Show he plays it just as straight. Insted of being super mean, he's a bafoon, but doesn't know it. No one is going to ruin it for the rest of the office. He's the funniest part of that show, but he plays it so straight. Like Judge Smalls, he had a high opinion of himself.
