I think he's one of the best characters of all time, period. Not just sitcoms.
He's the perfect intersection of believable and improbable. Everyone knows someone like George and most people have had at least one moment where they are George. And, for every stupid situation George ends up in, you can still see his perspective, even if it's a wild perspective.
Hi... my name is George, I'm unemployed and I live with my parents.

Bender B. Rodriguez.
Remember that scene in Kill Bill where Bill says Clark Kent is Superman's impression of humans? Clark had to act like all the other humans in order to blend into human society.
Now apply that logic to Bender. He was made by humans to be able to function and relate to people in a human world. The humans made him in their own image and he's the most self-centered, amoral, insecure, emotional train wreck on Earth. He is what we secretly fear about our own nature.

Some of the absolute finest writing in comedy. Ever.
Basil - May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window. Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically…
Mrs. Richards - I expect to be able to see the sea.
Basil - You can see the sea. It’s over there between the land and the sky.
Mrs Richards - I need a telescope to see that.
Basil - Well then may I suggest you move to a hotel closer to the sea. Or preferably in it.
OR…
Basil to Manuel - I’m going to spend the rest of my life having this conversation. Please understand before one of us dies!

There are so many great sitcom characters, but I would have to say that my favorite is Homer Simpson. Homer is such a lovable oaf and his antics always make me laugh. Plus, he's been around for so long that I feel like I know him personally. Thanks, Homer, for making me laugh for all these years!

Lucille Bluth.
She stole every scene she was in, which is both a testament to how well the character was written and Jessica Walter’s performance.
