- Fire Marshall Bill. Jim Carrey is this amazing blend of reactionary and physical humor that I truly believe speaks to children like few other funnymen can.
- Vera De Milo. OK, so remember when I said that In Living Color produced a bunch of bits that would probably never see the light of TV if they were to be pitched today?
- The Background Guy. It's a simple premise that was executed to perfection every single time it came out on the show: feature an otherwise mundane occurrence or situation, and put a weird dude who relishes in perpetuating tomfoolery in the background.
- Grandpa Jack McGee. While "Background Guy" is a very easy bit to pitch in the writer's room, I'd imagine Grandpa Jack McGee on "The Dysfunctional Home Show" was not.

- Fire Marshall Bill. It was Fire Marshall Bob that revealed the range and creativity of character. There is nothing more than a fire marshal who continuously blows and burns himself up.
- Vera De Milo. &list=RDcbbIG_w-tZQ#t=52. Vera De Milo was a character that was so repulsive that she was irresistible. Carrey brought this character to life in ways that seared an image into the minds of Americans that no matter how hard they tried, they could not un-see it, so they just learned to embrace.
- Grandpa Jack McGee. If you ever needed a picture of a dysfunctional home, the home of Grandpa Jack McGee was it. While this character was not featured in sketches as frequent as De Milo and Fire Marshall Bill, it was equally as hilarious.
- The Background Guy. Many people will probably not remember this, but this character may be the most brilliant work of Carrey during that time – primarily because it was Jim Carrey achieving optimal comedy as a minimalist.

Closing the ranks is Amy Fisher, played by Ali Wentworth, who officially joined the cast in 1993 after brief appearances in the first and second installments. Fisher was a fantastic portrayal of a New York City tabloid bad girl with her elegant performances on her skit on the show Super Bimbo becoming one of the most excellent performances in the s...
Cheap Pete is the ridiculously economical guy who appeared in the show from 1993 till 1994, embodied by Chris Rock. Rumor had it then that Rock was fired from Saturday Night Live when the producers learned that he was planning to jump ship to the ‘In Living Color.’ Sadly, the show was canceled shortly after he joined the cast, but his performance l...
Keenen, the creator of the show, usually let his talent take center stage to show off their skills and was mainly pulling the strings from behind the scenes. But that didn’t mean that he couldn’t put on his acting boots and step back in front of the camera when occasions called for it. He was particularly perfect as the good-looking French guy Fren...
There is that one person in the community who is friendly with everybody else and pretends to be the most caring person the world has ever known. Still, once you let them in on your secrets, they shamelessly air your dirty laundry in public without a care in the world. This hilarious character in this show was played by Wayans sister Kim who was al...
The memorable, extremely confident, facially deformed, sassy Wanda was a part that was made intriguing by Jamie Foxx’s performances that added an extra flair to the show making an obviously cringy moment into a hilarious one. The results were the creation of an iconic original character that was loved by many.
There are those few people in the black community who are such white supremacists to the extent that every single stereotype crafted about black people is true to them regardless of whether it’s based on facts. ‘In Living Color’ the Brothers Tom Brothers and Tom Brothers played by Damon and Keenen are the country-song duo who believe Black people b...
Again, embodied by Damon and Keenen, this duo poses as hustlers in a Home Shopping network parody. They come up with all sorts of creative ways to cheat their way into people’s money and shamelessly swindle the gullible masses in the most hilarious ways until, well, the long arm of the law catches up with them.
This show, of course, gave superstar Jim Carrey a head start into a highly successful film career. His portrayal of the always drunk, foul-mouthed, suicidal, hot-tempered grandpa Jack McGee who dared pass across jumbled-up editions of everyday home activities in his state, was astounding. His love for pork and beans, his behavior, and as well as lo...
Coming in at number seven is Anton Jackson, a role by Damon, who is one of those characters who will not only effortlessly make you sprawl on the ground with laughter but also cringe in disgust at the same time. He is a homeless man who likes enjoying the finer things in life, which is quite nasty as his presumed good life includes picking his nose...
Oswald Bates is that one person who thinks that he is so intelligent, while the fact is that he doesn’t know as much as he thinks and keeps using the wrong English words in the most hideous and unrelated contexts. He is an inmate who, if he weren’t an already convicted felon, then the inventors of the English language would definitely sue him for m...
