every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re taking a
look at animated characters that aren’t
necessarily household names yet but have
the potential to join the same league as
Sponge Bob and Homer Simpson we’ve
excluded any characters that officially
hit the scene before 2010 sorry Archer
showing love to me just once hi without
a blood transfusion number 10
Tina Ruth Belcher Bob’s Burgers my
porcelain horse porcelain legs broke
gotta shoot it while Archer didn’t make
the cut we can give some love to another
show featuring H John Benjamin’s voice
talents Bob Belcher runs this show’s
titular restaurant along with his
eccentric family this is ridiculous it’s
not a crime to make burgers there’s no
blood on our hands what’s all the
yelling about but if we had to single
out one member of the Belcher clan it
would have to be the scene-stealing
Tina Boyce – deadpan perfection by Dan
Mintz the eldest of the Belcher kids
speaks to anybody that felt awkward
growing up oh my god you think boyfriend
did I oh yeah I didn’t some don’t
entirely understand her fascination with
zombies and erotic friend fiction rather
than judging Tina though this show
ultimately embraces her unusual quirks
she reminds us why weird is the new
awesome cementing her place as a future
cartoon icon Jeff you tell me if you
were just a box right here just a box on
your on a date with the box oh my god
number 9 Pinkie Pie My Little Pony
Friendship is Magic Mary has to watch
your hair I forgot how to pick apples
why not be behind on her studies Vanessa
hit the books
traditionally the My Little Pony
franchise wasn’t exactly known for
character development however upon
launching the friendship is Magic series
Lauren Faust and company aspired to
create characters with distinctive
personalities Pinkie Pie in particular
has personality in spades dancer singing
telegram I hope you find well that
you’re invited to a party just to think
you’re really slow got me searching my
girls will help us celebrate the cake
will be delicious the Pacific peace
portrayed the embodiment of laughter
this Pony loves pranks pastries and
parties never too far away from her
party cannon she’s always ready to throw
an extravagant bash and put a smile on
your face pinkies good cheer and sense
of humor have naturally made her popular
among young girls however she’s also
become a fan favorite among adult male
viewers in that sense
pinky is a testament to the recent shift
in gender norms
parties are now picnic number eight PC
principal South Park you’re either on
board or you’re not PC principal is just
one example of how South Park has
remained fresh introduced in season 19
PC principal is a college frat guy who
takes political correctness to the
extreme let me ask you this
we’re in Colorado right where the
Hispanic kids huh where are the ethnic
and racial minorities since South Park
is notorious for its politically
incorrect humor PC principal often act
as an antagonist however he’s also had a
positive impact on the town influencing
them to be more accepting and adapt to
the changing world the problem is the PC
principal always forces his views on
others leaving no room for compromise he
encompasses both the good side and the
bad side of PC culture making him one of
the most relevant characters in post
millennium television so what retarded
is not belong in our school who is in
charge of the school paper
number seven Cora The Legend of Korra
what’s it take to impress this guy what
I said not bad as avatar Aang’s
successor Korra certainly had some big
shoes to fill
the newest avatar does admittedly get
off to a rocky start proving reckless
and temperamental what makes her such a
compelling character though is that she
continues to grow throughout the series
in addition to becoming more patient and
understanding she finds that failure is
part of any hero’s journey even when she
hits rock bottom
eventually manages to rise from the
ashes stronger than ever
what’s more Korah stands out for her
relationship with Asami becoming a
groundbreaking LGBT character in the
realm of Western family entertainment
that alone makes her a character that
will be remembered for years to come
I am so proud of you avatar Kong
number six Mordecai Regular Show okay no
matter what we’re going to stay up all
mordecai is the epitome of everything
generation y stands for like many other
millennials
this blue jay enjoys playing video games
watching nostalgic TV shows and kicking
back with a few drinks along with his
best pal rigby he frequently slacks off
and dodges responsibility all right
Benson we trust you awake now I’m taking
the trust I said you could have and I’m
throwing it away instead while his
priorities aren’t entirely sorted out
Mordecai isn’t without ambition he wants
a family career and something more out
of life
it just takes him longer than some to
move forward over the course of this
series Mordecai finds that he can do
whatever he sets his mind to whether
it’s being an artist or an astronaut
like the show itself he is anything but
regular Oh what give us back our burgers
no way these are the best burgers in the
world yeah get lost so we can eat them
number five Mabel pines gravity falls
chip backer but chip flavored crackers
tastes just like chip dipper pines
provided gravity falls with a grounded
center but Mabel was the sugary shell
that gave this series something extra
special
inspired by creator Alex Hirsch is
real-life twin sister this twelve year
old girl is a perpetual ray of sunshine
someone young wormy dance
we had to fast forward unapologetically
goofy and full of energy
Mabel has always lived in a world of her
own imagination of course in a town like
gravity falls imagination and reality
are virtually one and the same from this
moment forth I’m done just so many good
deeds on the stairs height and gravity
smog although the show’s ongoing mystery
hooked viewers in characters like Mabel
kept us coming back for more her
creativity wit and optimism helped make
gravity falls a truly unique experience
that won’t be forgotten anytime soon hi
there I love your headband bet your knob
I love your headband all right baby
man number four Steven universe Steven
universe what happened
wha Steven universe is a show with huge
stakes a rich mythology and deep themes
at the core of everything though is a
simple relatable main character living
in his mother’s shadow even sometimes
feels like he’s carrying the weight of
the world on his shoulders
[Music]
nevertheless that doesn’t stop him from
maintaining a playful spirit and a
hopeful outlook on life Stephens
infectious positivity makes him a
character that we want to follow to the
ends of the universe even if he does
screw up on occasion Stephens always
prepared to learn from his experiences
while Stephen has changed a lot since we
first met him he remains as lovable and
inspiring as ever do you want to take
the freezer with you number three
Bojack horseman Bojack horseman tension
hugs telling boring stories about
themselves Jesus are we at a 12-step
meeting
Bojack horseman is one of the most
complicated and tragic characters on
television earning comparisons to Tony
Soprano Don Draper and Frank Underwood
oh and did we mention he’s also a
talking horse well good morning to you
too
honestly it’s easy to forget about his
animal characteristics if he feels
incredibly human a former sitcom star
bull Jack wishes to reclaim his fame and
emerge as a serious actor whether he
succeeds or fails however Bojack always
finds that something is missing from his
life one minute you’ll find yourself
wanting to slap Oh jack for his
self-destructive behavior the next
you’ll want to give him a reassuring hug
in any case he’s certainly a horse of a
different color
Red Bull and vodka what are you 12
number two Rick Sanchez Rick and Morty
you will be boys the outside world is
our enemy morning this animated series
almost immediately accumulated a cult
following its fanbase is likely to only
grow bigger over time especially with a
character like Rick at the helm
seemingly burping between every other
sentence is drunken scientist is rude
and insensitive regardless he’s always
the smartest man in the room granted
sometimes there are multiple Rick’s in
one room but we digress now if you’ll
excuse me I’ve got pancakes back home a
syrup on top of them while Rick loves
his family he’s not above putting them
in the line of danger he frequently
drags grandson Morty along on hazardous
adventures involving aliens time travel
and Szechuan sauce yeah I’d like to get
a ten-piece McNugget
and a bunch of the Szechuan sauce as
long as Rick’s in the driver seat we are
always in store for something inventive
unpredictable and hilarious interesting
fun fact Moynihan and piece of toast
hate each other before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions if it falls into the hands of
evil forces the universe could be
destroyed hey how’s it going number one
Jake the dog and Finn the human
adventuretime cool depen light room many
have argued that Adventure Time set a
new gold standard for animated
programming the show wouldn’t be the
success it is today if it weren’t for
the dynamic between Finn and Jake time
to think of it
modern cartoons in general likely
wouldn’t be the same with their
happy-go-lucky attitude expressive faces
and genuinely kind heart you can
definitely see how Finn and Jake
influence some of the other cartoon
characters on this list oh dude I know
something totally rock and we can do
whoa what let’s use our imaginations man
these adoptive brothers perfectly
complement each other with Finn being
the determined hero and Jake being his
laid-back wingman years from now when
people look back at the current
animation Renaissance this endearing
pair will instantly come to mind whoa
wait a minute how can that be if are
still here kickin it with my main man
