|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Homestar Runner | Tom Dover | Tom Dover is one of the three titular brothers from The Dover Boys at Pimento University, a 1942 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. A loose parody of the Rover Boys, the absurdist and distinctly animated short follows the brothers as they attempt to rescue their shared fiancée Dora Standpipe from "coward, bully, cad, and thief" Dan Backslide. Over the decades, the short has developed a cult following. The trio made cameo appearances in Animaniacs and Space Jam, while a 2018 fan production collaboratively re-animated the short. | Wikipedia article for The Dover Boys at Pimento University |
 | Coach Z | A Beastie Boy from the Intergalactic video | "Intergalactic" was the lead single from the the Beastie Boys' 1998 album Hello Nasty. The music video, a parody of Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot, interspersed footage of the group as Japanese construction workers dancing alongside a story of the trio piloting a giant space robot to do battle with an octopus-headed monster in Tokyo. | Wikipedia article for "Intergalactic" |
 | King of Town | Immortan Joe | Immortan Joe is a post-apocalyptic warlord and the primary antagonist of the 2015 movie Mad Max: Fury Road, portrayed by Hugh Keays-Byrne.

Due to unspecified injury or disease, Immortan Joe wears a distinctive skeletal breathing mask and a clear plastic carapace adorned with military insignia and additional medals made from scrap. | Wikipedia article |
 | Bubs | Jack Flack | Jack Flack a fictional action hero portrayed by Dabney Coleman in the 1984 movie Cloak & Dagger. He is the main character of the video game "Cloak & Dagger", but also appears as an action figurine and a figment of the main character, Davey Osborne's imagination as a friend and action hero mentor. Davey gets a cartridge of the game containing important military secrets and must protect it from various thugs. | Wikipedia article for Cloak & Dagger |
 | Marzipan | Penny | Penny is a claymation character created by Craig Bartlett and animated by Aardman Productions. She was originally created as shorts for Pee‑wee's Playhouse after Bartlett moved to Los Angeles in 1987. The premise of the shorts is that Penny will discuss various topics and express certain interests, while the animation would show literal depictions of the things she talks about. One of Penny's traits is that her eyes are made of two copper penny coins, hence the name. She also appeared on an anti-drug PSA in 1991. | Wikipedia article for Pee-wee's Playhouse |
 | Pom Pom | Billy Bob Brockali | Billy Bob Brockali was the mascot of ShowBiz Pizza Place, a family entertainment center and pizza restaurant chain. Appearing as a walkaround and animatronic character, Billy Bob could also be seen singing and playing bass in the house band The Rock-afire Explosion. ShowBiz Pizza merged with Chuck E. Cheese's in the 1980s, with all remaining restaurants becoming rebranded to Chuck E. Cheese by 1994. | Wikipedia article for ShowBiz Pizza Place |
 | The Cheat | E.T. Dressed up by Gertie | In the 1982 film E.T.: the Extra-Terrestrial, E.T. is an alien accidentally left behind on Earth who connects with a young boy named Elliott.

 | Homsar | Sgt. Deux Deux | Sgt. Deux Deux is the Inspector's sidekick from The Inspector cartoons.
