20 TV Neighbors So Weird, We Actually Do Want to Live Near Them

Imagine living next door to Lucille Austero

Unless it’s some kind of one-man character study, probably starring Jon Hamm, the setting of a series can be just as important as the primary characters. The people around them give them context, whether they’re less or even more bonkers by comparison, and in the case of home-based TV shows, that’s neighbors. In fact, a well-written TV neighbor can be more compelling than the protagonist.

According to Redditor faceless_slenderman, that’s the truly irrepressible Titus Andromedon of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. As many Redditors pointed out, he’s Kimmy’s roommate, so they’re a little more than neighbors, but aren’t all roommates also neighbors? Do we not share walls? Common areas? Differences of opinion over the maintenance of those areas?

They then asked r/Sitcoms, “Who’s the funniest ‘weird neighbor’ in sitcom history?” and a bunch of figurative knocks at the door quickly followed.
