As already written by a few others: Geoffrey, Berta and Florence are missing. But speaking of Niles (which def. is #1), also C.C. herself was a rather brutal burning hero.

Unfortunately, it appears that everyone has forgotten Murphy Brown, and the titular character portrayed by Candice Bergen. Truly, the Queen of sass.

Red Forman is a glaring omission....but I love that Niles is on here 😅

Kaley Cuoco played Penny so well!

OMG..,I'm so glad Dr. Cox from Scrubs made this list. He is truly one of the underrated best!

Dennis Finch from Just Shoot Me! I believe should've been an honorable mention 🤣💕

Where was Julia Sugarbaker? The woman is loyal to a fault to her friends and loved ones but a "Terminator" to those who get on her bad side. Her entire "Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" soliloquy defending Suzanne to an upstart beauty pageant contestant was so classic--and brutal--that it was the first NON-musical lip-sync challenge on RuPaul's Drag Race (obviously, in an All-Stars season, but still . . . ). Julia could put more brutality in a simple "No" than almost any of the characters in this list could do in all their "criticisms" in an entire series run. Granted, she did a lot more in terms of sermonizing and speechifying but if you survived Julia's wrath, you knew better than to cross her a second time.

Fred G Sanford was also a savage when it came to Esther, Lamont and pretty much everyone else.

Amazing video ms mojo,fantastic job.

Sal and Lily's rivalry is always so funny that little "ill go to your next one" scene is soooo funny for me never gets old. all these are on point!

Darlene Conner from Roseanne

I think Benita Lopez from the Lopez Show should have gotten an honorable mention. But I do agree that Niles is the of his class in being savage with burns

Cats don't guard they watch and judge the best savage salem quote

Missed Brooklyn Nine-Nine, there were a number of savage characters in the precinct. Capt. Holt, Gina, and Diaz being the ones that immediately come to mind.

Mona Thorne (Half n Half) 6. Wilson (Home Improvement) 7. Andell Wilkerson (Moesha) 8. Samuel (Mike and Molly) 9. Nick Miller (New Girl) 10. Alex Russo (Wizards of Waverly Place)
