5. Mr. Bananagrabber\nSure, he might not be much of a recurring character, but this brainchild of Gob (along with Mrs. Bananagrabber and Baby Bananagrabber) is impossible not to love. A Segway-riding, whistling banana that steals and consumes other bananas? Gob never should have given up animation rights.
4. "STEVE HOLT"\nEven before pairing up with his estranged father, "STEVE HOLT!"'s enthusiasm is infectious. Things only get better after his encounter with Gob at the statue of "a boy that found a severed hand," as he first accompanies his dad on a "son-son trip" into the woods and then teams up with "UNCLE MIKE!" for the triathlon. As much as we love George Michael, we can see why he lost his high school election to "STEVE HOLT!"
3. Annyong/Hel-loh\nThough he may have only become a Bluth because Buster didn't finish his yogurt, Annyong quickly becomes not just Lucille's favorite son, but also the audience's. Despite his incessant interruptions and smaller stature, Annyong provides a worthy adversary for his new brother, Buster "Fatty" Bluth. It's a shame he has to end up at the Milford Academy to be taught a lesson - though we forget what, but his vengeful return provides one of the series' most entertaining surprises.
2. Franklin\nWhether he's providing crucial testimony for the Bluths during the mock trial, causing Gob to be savagely beaten outside a night club in Torrance, or shocking the nation with the bold assertion, "George Bush doesn't care about Black Puppets," Franklin Delano Bluth is easily one of the most memorable characters to appear on the show. Even though he and Gob never broke down racial barriers or scored a crossover hit with "It Ain't Easy Bein' White," his street-smarts and dramatic close-ups ensure him a special place in the pantheon of beloved puppets. Too bad about the accident with the washing machine.
1. Mrs. Featherbottom\nHailing from Blackstool, England, Phylidia Featherbottom provides Tobias with the role of a lifetime. Though he/she fails to enchant the rest of the Bluth family with his/her Mrs. Doubtfire/Mary Poppins antics, he/she ultimately proves a dutiful and hilarious nanny to the Bluths. Always ready with a "banger-in-the-mouth" or a merry tune, Mrs. Featherbottom tops the list of our favorite supporting characters.
