Below is a list of the characters in order from my favourite to least favourite, and the reasons why I like/dislike them. When referring to Peach, Rose, Brunette, and Grey, I am generally referring to their VCR Game characters.

1. Ms. Scarlet. My all-time favourite Clue character, always has been, always will be. Although her movie character has fewer funny lines than Peacock, Scarlet is generally the most tasteful and mysterious of all the characters. She usually has the best outfits, the best lines, and best roles. I like Miss Scarlet in the Clue book series best.

2. Mrs. Peacock. Though she tends to have a grumpy old lady role, Mrs. Peacock can be one of the most hilarious characters ever to grace the Clue scene. Her role in Clue: The Movie is absolutely hysterical; Peacock in the Clue books is pretty funny, too, as she constantly accuses everything and everyone of being rude. Her character in the first VCR Game is also pretty cool, though in the second VCR Game she turns into this hyper, feisty old lady, which is actually rather freightening.

3. Mrs. White. Indefinitely one of the best characters of Clue, and in the books, one of the funniest. Although she wears a baby bonnet in the Clue, Jr. books, and in an unlikely manner looks out for Mr. Boddy in Clue Mysteries, Mrs. White has a remarkably refreshing role in the movie, since she is a guest and not the maid. My third favourite.

4. Col. Mustard. I don't feel like he should be fourth best, but when you really think about it, he's a pretty cool character. He appears as a rather dense but comical womanizer in the movie; in the VCR game, he plays a likeable spy. Mustard is also amusing in the books, perpetually challenging the other guests to duels, and appears as a very attractive, dignified man of war in the SNES game. Pretty cool, through and through.

5. Mr. Green. I have to say, over the last few years, Mr. Green has grown on me. He has plenty of funny roles and witty lines in the books and movies, though admittedly not as many as Scarlet or Peacock. In the books, Green appears as Boddy's whacky, shady business partner, and he probably has the most important role in the movie, where Michael McKean's acting ability really shines through. I don't, however, really care for his role as a reverand; perhaps it's simply because I grew up knowing Mr. Green as a Mr., and not a reverand.

6. Professor Plum. I believe his Swiss name is "Doctor Dunkel", and that, to be perfectly cruel, might as well be his Canadian/American name, too. Plum indisputably has few favourable roles. In the VCR Game he's fretful and sort of silly; in the movie he's somewhat of a pervert (though Christopher Lloyd plays him very well); in the puzzle sets he's a gym teacher (ugghh); and though his role as a very forgetful professor in the book series is unique, his terrible role in the Clue, Jr. books balances it out.

7. Ms. Peach. I like her in the VCR games, though with the French accent, she is (I agree with Peacock) very much intolerable. She has lots of funny lines, and appears to be hip. I like how in Murder in Disguise, when faced with having to get a job, she says, "I've never learned how to do anything legal!"

8. Madam Rose. Again, if Madam Rose was a main character, I probably would have a higher opinion of her. Her VCR game role is positively hilarious, I find it funny the way she converses with the teddy bear and tells it how she will kill all the guests. Otherwise, there really isn't anything else I like about Rose, besides her obvious insanity.

9. Sgt. Gray. Insane, though, in my humble opinion, not at all funny. His VCR game actor doesn't know how to act, and as a whole, he just isn't likeable. He basically serves as a puppet in Murder in Disguise, where the other guests just take advantage of his amnesia by using him and pushing him around.

10. M. Brunette. A corny French-wannabe con-artist who is otherwise known as the "lawyah" (from Ms. Scarlet). Everyone in the first VCR game despises him because he is an obstacle before the will, and I despise him because he has a bad character development. He's even worse in Murder in Disguise, where his character just seems to appear because he has to — he makes no significant contribution to the storyline at all.
