7. Brock Sampson (Venture Brothers)- 111 points
( 8 of 18 lists. Highest ranking - #6 GBeenie) Brock embodies the 'strong, but silent' stereotype, usually speaking in a low, gravelly murmur and maintaining a casual aura. He speaks in an oddly calm manner in anything short of the most urgent circumstances, and his level voice is often at odds with his perpetually-crazed expression. However, he also has a hair-trigger temper which can cause him to snap at the slightest provocation, including a friendly touch on the shoulder at an inopportune moment. When he is engulfed in a fit of rage, he exhibits near super-human strength, a facial twitch, and is apparently capable of enduring almost any kind of physical punishment imaginable, and his "normal" endurance is nearly as impressive. Brock's ability to endure pain is matched only by his ability to dish out pain to others, which he does with great enthusiasm. He possesses a license to kill, and has proven himself quite capable and willing to kill anyone or anything at a moment's notice, in a manner that is as grisly as it is creative. He is also known to be quite thorough in ensuring that a threat is completely eliminated. In combat, he scorns firearms, instead preferring bladed weapons (particularly his serrated Bowie knife), blunt objects, or his bare hands. He does, however, appear to make an exception for certain projectile-based weapons. In addition, he honors one of his mentor's only rules: to never kill women or children, only subduing them with nonlethal means when necessary. Brock has an odd relationship with Dr. Venture. He doesn't always take the man seriously, yet dotes on him when he's hurt or ill. The two sometimes reminisce about their past escapades with fondness and even camaraderie and laughter. Brock even obeys Dr. Venture's rule that he can't smoke inside the compound, and helps with domestic chores. Brock has an avuncular, if not paternal, relationship with the Venture boys. He seems especially fond of Hank, who idolizes him in turn. Samson shows greater concern for their well-being and development than Dr. Venture ever has, expressing concerns over Hank's sanity and Dean's effeminacy (though he never expresses the latter in such blunt terms), and also gives them useful advice on their first big date However, Brock has been slightly annoyed by Hank from time to time. His relationship with Venture and the boys has matured to the point that he refers to them as his family, and it is suggested that he prefers being their bodyguard to the "weirdness and moral ambiguity" of his former life. <![CDATA[<a href="http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=8819123,t=1,mt=video" target="_blank">http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=8819123,t=1,mt=video</a>]]> |

6. Wall-E - 113 points
(7 of 18 lists. Highest ranking - #3 Mr. Baseheart & The Queen!) Ben Burtt produced the 'voice' of WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class), the titular character and protagonist of the film. WALL-E is a sentient, 700 year old, solar powered mobile trash compactor robot, and is presumably the only functional robot on Earth. He is designed as a small compactor box with all-terrain treads, 3-fingered shovel hands, binocular eyes, and is equipped with a cutting laser between his eyes. He is a very curious, lonely, innocent looking, and sweet being; and always puts others, namely EVE, before himself on his journey to win her heart. <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/UblUO0LjPUg&hl=en&fs=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/UblUO0LjPUg&hl=en&fs=1</a>]]> |

4. Bender Bending Rodriguez (Futurama) - 135 points
(9 of 18 lists. Highest ranking - #2 AnaisJude) “Well done meatbags..” Bender serves as a member of Hubert J. Farnsworth's delivery crew, being the chef for the often long trips through space, to deliver goods for Planet Express. He is one of Fry's closest friends, though the relationship is often one sided. Bender is a heavy drinker, smoker, and gambler and has been known as "pure evil". He has a mostly voluntary morality and constantly steals, ranging from the petty theft of wallets to much higher crimes like kidnapping Jay Leno's head due to their long feud and stealing Fry's blood. Bender is a robot built by Mom's Friendly Robot Company at its plant in Tijuana, Mexico, circa 2996. He is a Bending-Unit 22, serial number 2716057, and chassis number 1729. He weighs about five hundred and twenty five pounds. He was created for the task of bending metal girders for the construction of suicide booths As a state-of-the-art bending unit, he has bent some rather impressive objects. This includes enormous steel girders marked "UN-BENDABLE", the Professor's spine (both ways) and even a level brick wall. And he has shown incredible feats of strength, such as breaking through solid concrete walls, surviving incredible amounts of gunfire, pushing the Planet Express ship's exhaust to one side, managing to survive at the very bottom of the exact center of the Atlantic Ocean, and diving into magma. Bender is shown throughout the series as having a secret desire to be a folk musician that only manifests itself when a magnet is placed on/near his head. Bender is also fascinated with cooking, being the Planet Express ship's chef, though he is shown to have no sense of actual human taste. Bender's constant drinking stems from the fact that he needs alcohol to power his fuel cells; the process generates waste gases and heat, which he often expels as a flaming belch. Bender is known for his catchphrase "Bite my shiny metal ass", which he uses nearly every episode throughout the series and sometimes varying the phrase. Bender also has the catchphrases "Boned" and "Cheese it!" <![CDATA[<a href="http://player.hulu.com/embed/myspace_viral_player.swf?pid=0yrIahotCKoCFVvThccDLjbCcpuK5lH7&embed=true&videoID=53536905" width="425" height="372" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"" target="_blank">http://player.hulu.com/embed/myspace_viral_player.swf?pid=0yrIahotCKoCFVvThccDLjbCcpuK5lH7&embed=true&videoID=53536905" width="425" height="372" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"</a>]]> |

3. Daffy Duck - 165 points
( 10 of 18 lists. Highest ranking - #1 Johnny Unusual) Daffy Duck is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. Daffy was the first of the new breed of "screwball" characters that emerged in the late 1930s to supplant traditional everyman characters, such as Mickey Mouse and Popeye, who were more popular earlier in the decade. Daffy is known as the best friend and occasionally self-imagined rival of Bugs Bunny. Virtually every Warner Brothers animator put his own spin on the Daffy Duck character, who may be a lunatic vigilante in one short but a greedy gloryhound in another. Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones both made extensive use of these two very different versions of the character. Daffy was #14 on TV Guide's list of top 50 best cartoon characters, and was featured on one of the issue's two covers as Duck Dodgers with Porky Pig and the Powerpuff Girls <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/42Lf7yNhdtk&hl=en&fs=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/42Lf7yNhdtk&hl=en&fs=1</a>]]> |

2. Homer Simpson - 165 points
( 12 of 18 lists. Highest ranking - #2 Imrahil) "WOOHOO!!" Homer is the boorish father of the Simpson family. With his wife, Marge, he has three children: Bart, Lisa and Maggie. As the family's provider, he works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Homer embodies several American working class stereotypes: he is crude, overweight, incompetent, clumsy, lazy and ignorant; however, he is also fiercely devoted to his family. Despite the suburban blue-collar routine of his life, he has had a number of remarkable experiences. In the shorts and earlier episodes, Castellaneta voiced Homer with a loose impression of Walter Matthau; however, during the second and third seasons of the half-hour show, Homer's voice evolved to become more robust, to allow the expression of a fuller range of emotions. He has appeared in other media relating to The Simpsons – including video games, The Simpsons Movie, The Simpsons Ride, commercials and comic books – and inspired an entire line of merchandise. His catchphrase, the annoyed grunt "d'oh!", has been included in The New Oxford Dictionary of English since 1998 and the Oxford English Dictionary since 2001. Homer is one of the most influential fictional characters on television, having been described by the British newspaper The Sunday Times as "the greatest comic creation of [modern] time". He was ranked the second greatest cartoon character by TV Guide and was voted the greatest television character of all-time by Channel 4 viewers. Castellaneta has earned three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance and a special achievement Annie Award for voicing Homer. In 2000, Homer, along with the rest of his family, was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/DhrfhjLd9e4&hl=en&fs=1>" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/DhrfhjLd9e4&hl=en&fs=1></a>]]> |

1. Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes) - 276 points
(13 of 18 lists. Highest ranking - 6 #1's... Gbeenie & Courtney & Tyrant & Imrahil & The Queen! & Pak-Man) "Nyah who were ya expecting Doc? Humphrey Bogart? " Bugs Bunny is a fictional character who appears in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated films produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, which became Warner Bros. Cartoons in 1945. In 2002, he was named by TV Guide as the greatest cartoon character of all time. Currently, he is the corporate mascot for Warner Brothers, especially its animated productions. According to Bugs Bunny: 50 Years and Only One Grey Hare, he was "born" in 1940 in Brooklyn, New York, created by Tex Avery (who directed A Wild Hare, Bugs Bunny's debut) and Robert McKimson (who created the definitive Bugs Bunny character design), among many others. According to Mel Blanc, the character's original voice actor, Bugs Bunny has a Flatbush accent, an equal blend of the Bronx and Brooklyn dialects. His catchphrase is a casual "What's up, Doc?", usually said while chewing a carrot. His other popular phrases include "Of course you realize...this means war" and "Ain't I a stinker?" <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/CUYZYJ7XueI&hl=en&fs=1>" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/CUYZYJ7XueI&hl=en&fs=1></a>]]> |

Ah, that's good list right there. Very happy Wallace and Gromit, Bender, and Wile E. Coyote made it so high, and props to WALL-E (not the Pixar character I chose, but still good). Ended pretty much how I expected, since really, how could Bugs not be first? And LBeria gets a big high five for the Goodfeathers  I'll post my list later today. |
