McHale is the king of snark, which made him the perfect choice for prickly, self-obsessed Jeff Winger. But here's the surprise: As Jeff continued to (however reluctantly) embrace his role as leader of the study group and Greendale in season 2, McHale matured into a genuine leading man who can make you laugh, swoon, then laugh again.

If Joel McHale's Jeff is the brains of the study group, Pudi's pop-culture loving Abed is its heart. That the character viewers relate most to is the one who's supposed to be the most socially awkward is a testament to Pudi's performance. He allows for robotic, meta Abed to be the gateway into the show's brilliant theme episodes, and to deliver lines that, in the end, cut through the charade.

Truthfully, after six seasons watching Day as lovable, mildly illiterate Charlie, most fans would laugh just looking at him. But that's been earned by years of acting out Charlie's most inane schemes and statements with a level of commitment that keeps a manchild who wields a rat stick for a living not only believable, but also someone you'd like to pal around with (like a puppy).

Good girls everywhere owe Brie a thank you for proving they can be cute and sexy ? at least if they have Annie's big blue eyes, ability to have chemistry with anyone (Jeff, sure, but Abed?), and let's just say it, boobs. With Brie, Annie's coming-of-age story hits the funny bone and the heartstrings.

The unsung hero of the FX comedy is one of TV's most fearless comediennes, transcending Sweet Dee from traditional sitcom straight woman to someone who's just as selfish and wrong as the wild and crazy guys. Her tongue is sharp, but she's also a master of physical comedy, which allows her to steal episodes -- like the season 6 one in which the gang bought a boat and she learned some amazing dance moves from an inflatable green man.
