Some good contenders

Millhouse

Paul Pfeiffer

The two guys from Weird Science

benedict 06-09-01 06:17 AM

Aren't Millhouse and Pfeiffer the same person?

All nerds must have taped glasses and belong to the chess and/or computer club. Adenoidal or higher pitched/squeaky voices are also more or less mandatory.

STEVE URKEL

"Any cheese in the house?"

Jeraden 06-09-01 09:44 AM

The problem with Urkel was he always felt the need to be on various episodes as a non-nerd other character, as if he wanted to prove to the world he wasn't really a nerd in real life and was actually a 'cool guy'. For some reason that bothered me and kind of took away from the whole show.

Yeah, whatever. He's still nerd.

Anthony Edwards from ER! He was my favorite nerd from <small>Revenge of the Nerds. :D

(Milhouse isn't a nerd. He's a GEEK. Completely different thing.)

matta 06-09-01 04:14 PM

Yes, finally. I would like to return your quote-unquote 'Ultimate Belt.'
I see, do you have a receipt for that quote-unquote?
No, I do not have a receipt, I won it as the door prize at a Star Trek convention, although I find their choice of prize highly illogical as the average Trekker has no use for a medium-sized belt.
Whoa, whoa. A fat, sarcastic Star Trek fan. You must be a devil with the ladies.
Hey, I... Huh... Tha... Oh...
Gee, I hate to let you down Casanova, but uh, no receipt, no return.
I'll give you four bucks for it.
Very well. I must hurry back to my comic book store, where I dispense the insults rather than absorb them.

Original Desmond 06-11-01 02:23 AM

yeah Skippy from Family Ties was cool !

AndyCapps 06-11-01 11:26 AM

Either Alex P. Keaton or Doogie Howser M.D.

Red Dog 06-11-01 11:33 AM

Cliff Claven is a great candidate.

Not nerds. Boner and Horshack were more of the dork/spazz/dweeb type ... perhaps another good topic :)

And how could you forget Ernie Douglas! :) Thankfully Jan Brady has been purged from our collective memories, so I won't mention her.
