I think it's pretty obvious that Mike hasn't got much of a brain, lol, regardless of his shape! As you pointed out, Mike IS funny-when bad stuff is happening to him. I'm not so much fascinated with his one eye, as that incessantly-running MOUTH! He comes off as a typical loud-mouth who wants everyone to think he knows it all, when it's so obvious that he doesn't know much at all, and that makes him a funny, yet irritating, character-the sort that Billy Crystal perfected on "Saturday Night Live" before he really got into movies. Still, Mike's clear dislike of Randall, for no other reason than simply who and what Randall is, rather than for anything he's done up to that point, make it very difficult for me to like him, as does his brow-beating and put-downs of his best friend, without whom he'd really be nothing. I hope Celia Mae can straighten him out some; if she can't, no one can, but she's got her work cut out for her, that's for sure!

Everyone's going to kill me for this... I picked *gulp*, Mike.
OK, OK! I have this facination with his one eye! I don't know, it supposedly draws my attention (except for the scenes which Randall's in, my eyes are focused on him then).
I also seem to like his voice, provided by the perfect choice Billy Crystal. The scenes where he's nasty to Randall, I don't think are funny at all, but I think it's humourous when he gets stuck inside the bin in the apartment scene and that stereo speaker slams down ;D.
One of the funny things I discuss with my friend about Mike is how many organs will be able to fit inside his extremely small body. I mean his brain must be tiny! Plus his eye and mouth take up half of his body!
