In all of the discussions about the heroes, the villains, and the ladies, sometimes we forget that there are some hilarious comic roles in the plays by Shakespeare.  When I think comedy, I instantly think of Dogberry from Much Ado!  Talk about just a fun, funny role!  His malapropisms are just about the funniest to listen to, and I swear I catch new ones every time I see the play!  One of my favorite of his lines is, "Thou wilt be condemned into everlasting REDEMPTION for this!"  Also, "Write down Prince John a villain.  Why, this is flat perjury, to call the prince's brother villain!"

So, who is your favorite comic role, either male or female, in Shakespeare's plays?  Share your thoughts, characters, quotes, scenes, etc.! :)
