30+ Side Characters Who Stole the Show and Left the Main Characters in the Dust

You ever notice how binge-watching a TV show is like strapping into an emotional rollercoaster ride with the main character? You're there for the wild ups and downs, the plot twists, and the loop-de-loops. But every now and then, a curveball comes your way. Suddenly, it's the side characters that hijack your heart and leave you craving their next appearance.

They're like those sneaky garlic knots in your pizza order—totally 'unplanned', but now you can't fathom a pizza night without 'em. Think about Janice from Friends, with that unmistakable cackle and her constant "Oh. my. god!" She's forever etched in our memory. Or Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones—the wine-loving wordsmith who stole the spotlight from kings and queens faster than you can say "a Lannister always pays his debts."

So, next time you're knee-deep in a TV marathon, keep your popcorn radar tuned for those unexpected scene-stealers. They're the secret sauce that turns your binge-watching all the more delightful. Keep scrolling to see what side characters that Reddit users claim were better than the main characters.
