For me it's Bobby Briggs - he's hilarious in most of his scenes, in the first season with the Major and in many other scenes.  His mannerisms are hilarious and over-the-top and when he loses his temper it's an absolute blast.  I laughed so hard at his scene with Mr. Pinkle, and especially at his -

"AFRAAAAAIID!?!  AFRAAAAAAAIIID?!?!?!?"

- before Laura's funeral. 

And he's also a highly likeable character too IMO.  He's youthful, full of energy and life, has initiative and good intentions for Shelley...

The only time I didn't like him was in the pilot and the first episode, in which he just seemed like a jerk.

There was a fiish..iinn the percolatrr!

For me it's Ben Horne... Never a dull moment with Ben onscreen, and I have fun with him even in serious scenes. It's that Shakesperian-crazy way Beymer says his lines, his expressions and gestures...

That scene with Hank ("You're out, Ben") is a total riot of Beymer awesomeness, for example...

For me it has to be Audrey Horne. It was never boring to see what she was up to, and she made subplots like Ben's fantasy war and the romance with that guest BEARABLE. Not to mention she was some great candy for the eye.

Leland was kind of funny but also extremely tragic in a couple of episodes but I have to agree with the guy from Barcelona. Ben Horne is funny almost all the time, I wonder how he looked when he was with Laura...? Probably like this board has stated  before; like a little boy (wo)manhandled by her.. pleading and begging.

Anyway my favourite scene has to be when he moves his mouth, the w a y he moves his mouth talking to Lucy on the phone. That´s my definitioin of scorn; Lucy the local, stupid girl and grand waste of Ben´s oh so precious time vs. Ben King (Nothing). Or something.

Let´s tip their power balance, tear down their crown,

For me it's Ben Horne


 

Ben:  "We've laid in a gala reception for your fair-haired boys tonight.  All of Twin Peaks' best and brightest."

Jerry: "We're holding it in a phone booth?"

Ben Horne. His "You're out, Ben....Ben, you're out......" and laugh is amazing.

Leland Palmer when go crazy - singing and dancing with the cane.

And of course Pete Martel  - all the time.

Faster and faster. For a long time you wouldn't feel anything. Than you would burst in the fair... forever. And the angels wouldn't help you. Because they've all gone away...

no love for the Log Lady? Shut your eyes and you'll burst into flames!

Er, would you like some lemonade? I also have some saltines and some apple butter. Or would you like to wash your hands?

Killer BOB for sure - he's the main reason I watched the show. I really love the way he mocked Cooper after he trapped Josie in the doorknob.

All good suggestions...  What about Major Briggs?  I was always on the edge of my seat when he started talking.

I also like the Mayor Milford when he asked Dr. Hayword if he check for witchcraft when he did Duggy's authopsy; when he said "I don't wanna talk, I wanna shoot!" and " Is this thing on?Is this thing on?" when he used a microphone

I'd agree with Ben Horne, but include his interaction with Jerry. Cooper can be quite fun and witty as well. Love the scene with Albert in the hotel "Your making a joke". He beats Albert in his own game but with a potion of gentleness.

I love most of the people, but at the moment CATHERINE MARTELL seems to be most funniest!   Piper Laurie really is an great actress.
