32. Data (Star Trek series)
Who doesn't love Data? The guy is hilarious. It's so refreshing to see the writers take a character that honestly has no right being funny (a futuristic android) and not only making him comical via his naivete about how the real world of being human works, but also making him relatable and human by giving him the drive and desire to BE human like the rest of the crew. Admittedly, Star Trek: The Next Generation did tend to revolve around Data or Picard more often than not, but at the same time, it was okay because they didn't hog the screentime (it was the Nicaragua of Star Trek) and they were both interesting characters. I loved seeing Data interact with the rest of the crew, be it as a friendship with Geordi (who was often required to fix Data after something went wrong), or pissing off Pulaski via his very existence being a sin against God (I seriously don't get what her problem was), or just other general interactions with the crew, usually ending the episode with some profound yet naive quip relating the the episode's events (like how he felt human in his sadness over Tasha's death, not understanding why the funeral revolved around memories instead of mourning). By being able to mix the super-intelligence of a robotic mind with the naivete of a young human child, Star Trek really created a fantastic and well-developed character that has plenty of fans to boot.
