Steve Urkel (Family Matters)

Steven Quincy Urkel is a fictional character on the ABC/CBS sitcom who was portrayed by Jaleel White. Originally slated to have been a one-time only character on the show, he soon broke out to be its most popular character and gradually became its main protagonist. Due to the Urkel character's off-putting characteristics and the way he is written to stir up events and underscore the plot or even move it along, he is considered a nuisance by the original protagonist's family, the Winslows, though they come to accept him over time.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is an a silly and nerdy character, he can be obnoxious and annoying but still lovable.
 * 2) Steve and Laura both have amazing chemistry.
 * 3) He had catchphrases uttered after some humorous misfortune occurs, including.
 * 4) * "I've fallen and I can't get up!"
 * 5) * "I don't have to take this. I'm going home."
 * 6) * "Did I do that?"
 * 7) * "Whoa, Mama!"
 * 8) * "Look what you did!"
 * 9) In the season two episode "Life of the Party", he called The Urkel Dance
 * 10) Jaleel White does a good job portaying Steve.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) While indeed comedic, he eventually took over the show as its main protagonist, thus making him a creator's pet in a way. Especially given that he was originally supposed to be a one-time character.

Trivia

 * He reference to famous catchphrase of the LifeAlert commercial from late 1980s and early 1990s
