Darn, I actually found and almost guessed Brian Butterfield multiple times. Good job, Jamie!

Clarification: do you mean "television show or movie" for "show"?
Recasting the question: Is this person the main character in the thing they are in?
Thanks for your post, Jamie!

I think the answer is "no", if we put emphasis on the word "the" before "main character" - I don't think the thing this character is in is centered on that particular character. But I haven't seen too much of the thing that this character is in!
I was very happy that you were participating in this round.

I had been introduced to the Brian Butterfield Diet Plan many years ago. I didn't realize there were more Brian Butterfield skits until I discovered that he once was a Theatrical Ghost.

I'm guessing the clue is in the phrases "Guess now" and "Ask now". No idea what that means though.

A close examination of this page of the thread should help.

Okay, this has gone on for a while. My apologies - I went for an outside-the-box pick, and I guess it didn't really work.

Anyways, a couple of more comments:

- The show that this character originally appeared on was definitely not one oriented for children, but the question asking this didn't use "originally appeared" or "introduced".

 I think it must be a character from a sketch comedy show (like Little Britain or Mitchell and Webb), and I don't know those well enough to pick one character from the dozens.
Guess now.

 I suppose we might as well keep asking as long as we haven't been cut off

Did this show run for 5 or more seasons prior to this character being introduced?
No, the character was introduced in the first season of the show in which he was introduced.

 I don't think we're looking for a comedy show. I think we're looking for a show that is inadvertently funny (and silly) to Spartaculous. I was thinking of news or reality shows, but those don't have fictional characters.
Free hint: the show in which this character originally appeared was nominated (but did not win!) a BAFTA award in a category with the word "Comedy" in it.
Has this happened only once?
Yes, there was only one year in which it was nominated for that BAFTA award.

Considered but rejected:
Mrs Brown (Mrs Brown's Boys) - won Best Scripted Comedy 2012 and def not kid's show.
Any of the Little Britain characters - before 2008
Ken Thompson (Cuckoo) - clearly not a kid's show.

I can't think of any that would be a "pass" on the children's show question.

I think it must be a character from a sketch comedy show (like Little Britain or Mitchell and Webb), and I don't know those well enough to pick one character from the dozens.

I think I'm stumped.

 The problem I'm running into is that there are a lot of potential shows, and therefore characters, that could potentially fit, but not having seen the vast majority of them, I can't tell which characters would qualify as "silly" choices for this game.

Does the show this character was introduced in appear on this list?

No.
