Parodies more well-known than their originators
>>154073487The Question is still pretty relevant compared to other Charlton characters
>>154073630but even normies know about Rorschach.
>>154073630Isn’t the question a girl now? And also a lesbian?
Deadpool
>>154073487though with Tokon coming out this might not be true for much longer
>>154073487Would've posted Orpheus but he's become more well-known since his debutHighly doubt any random off the street knows Dr. Druid though
>>154073904Good question
>>154073904Wait hold on I'm out of the loop with this wasn't lady question Myra?
>>154073487TMNT
>>154073487foghorn leghorn is a parody of some radio host from the 40s
>>154074452which one?
>>154073487
>>154074858Senator Claghorn was a character on the Fred Allen radio show
Barnacle Boy.
>>154073487They've definitely passed this threshold with younger Gen Zs right?
>>154073762Not really. Maybe back when the movie came out but normies would at best know the image they wouldn't really know the character
>>154073487The entire Flintstones were a parody of I love Lucy.
>>154073487Shaggy is actually based on Maynard G Krebs in the sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.
>>154073969Deadpool?
>>154073487the question sucked
>>154076731showbizz pizza bear isn't that old.unless IM old, which cant be the case, so clearly its still recent.
>>154073630Blue Beetle is really well known. Maybe because he is now connected to Booster Gold and a lighttower for bromance?And Captain Atom is still used, sadly most for jobbing.
>>154076984That fact leads to a sub fact.I hope a future Scooby thing pays this off, but if they wait too long I doubt it will land.
>>154078766Fred's brother died in the unreleased pilot episode
>>154073762Yeah but this is a comicboook board since 2006, so that normalfag stuff doesn't apply here. The QUestion is still more well known.
>>154078715>Blue BeetleSpeaking of, did you know the original had a radio show?
>>154078766This image is fucked up. It's reminiscent of that Stalin photo and how his aides are gradually removed with each new version until it's just Stalin by himself.
>>154076731Isn't Chuck E. Cheese well-known?>>154076977Aren't you confusing? I thought it was The Honeymooners?>>154079374I only remember that one with just one removed person?
>>154078766>Velma with a medallionCuuuuuuuute
>>154079348Yes.
>>154078715I wouldn't say Ted is really well know. His peak was a well done but niche incarnation of the League that had a few great years in the 80's. >>154079348>>154080459I think the ironic thing is that the first Blue Beetle is probably the most popular the character has ever been, and yet that original incarnation isn't even the one tied to the later ones. Charlton reworked him when they (dubiously) bought the rights, so the Dan Garett tied to Ted Kord and Jaime Reyes isn't even the actual original.
>>154078889>Yeah but this is a comicboook board since 2006,>The QUestion is still more well known.This is a HUGE stretch, a good deal of Question fans here just care about his JLU version and think none of his comic incarnations are good. Watchmen is one of the most consistent selling comics of all time, so even just measuring comic fans, that's sold way more than any Question comics.
>>154079931>Isn't Chuck E. Cheese well-known?Yeah, in the US. There are millions of people around the world who've never been to one but know FNAF. And I'd say even in America, animatronic mascot restaurants are a mostly bygone 80s/90s/00s kid thing so if you were born after that and had access to the internet there is chance you know FNAF but not Chuck E Cheese
>>154080897There is Chuck E. Cheese in other countries.
>>154074146Kek.
>>154082209Tons of old cartoon stuff falls into this.Most people don't realize Steamboat Willie is a parody of Buster Keaton's Steamboat Bill, Jr. (Although most people probably know about the house front falling around Keaton gag).
>>154080988Only in the Middle East and LATAM. And those are recent.
The pirates from Asterix
>>154073487homestuck is more well known than homestar runner, i only assumed homestuck is an homage to homestar because of the name but i don't actually know
>>154083681Bugs Bunny's Clark Gable reference memoryholed society so hard that people still think rabbits eat carrots.
>>154078766who is bro tf?
>>154074023I love Bonesaw!
>>154080521Ted is well known. He is constantly popping up. But i agree that he is a supporting character.Yeah, the first Blue Beetle was much more popular. At least thats what the radio show suggests.
>>154085379i dont
>>154076731FNAF is a weird case, because 9 times out of 10 the kids that tend to be passionate about this series also tend to be into animatronics in general. The series is practically built in such a way that you sort of need to know about the history of Showbiz Pizza/Chuck E Cheese just to make sense of the story of the games.I'm almost certain the push for practical effects and animatronic preservation in the modern era was kickstarted by fans of the series.
>>154078275No
>>154074948isn't that most Looney Tunes characters and HB ones too?
>>154089130>no double picklepuss(or whoever it was whose namecall was doubled)
>>154076731maybe inside the usa chuck e cheese is more well known, but, everywhere else in the world knows the fnaf characters over the chuck e cheese characters at this point
>>154074121Venture Bros. is full of pop and /co/ references and some of them are pretty obscure. It's practically cheating.
>>154085232Bugs also annihilated the reputation of a famous biblical king with a single sarcastic joke towards Elmer.
