former Commodore shall we
number 10 Bruno gay hard Bruno ich was
going to be the biggest Austrian
superstar since Hitler with Sacha Baron
Cohen’s second mockumentary project
based on – Ali G show characters
expectations were extremely high so my
name is Bruno I was born in clogging fog
I’m 19 years old
and of course you’re know me as the host
of funk inside when news broke that he
would bring his extremely flamboyantly
gay fashion reporter Bruno to the big
screen fans were worried at first I was
oh hey I’m in Towson fuck off but fans
and critics were shocked to find that
Cohen had more to say about homophobia
in the world and was less concerned with
making an empty stereotype filled
character great fantastic news we have
chosen your baby to be dressed as a Nazi
officer pushing a wheelbarrow with
another baby as a journey into an oven
into an oven that is not to say that
each prank isn’t pure hilarity and
over-the-top camp that’s not the baby’s
name is it no I gave him like a
traditional African name so what’s the
baby’s name Oh Jay Cohen has made an art
form out of freaking regular
unsuspecting people out with his
eccentric characters
and Bruno is truly a prime example how
do you spot the homosexual very hard to
do number nine
Ruby rhod the Fifth Element winter
ladies with us he’s gonna set the world
on fire idea from bottom you know the
then little-known Chris Tucker wrote the
book on scene stealing in this sci-fi
comedy action mashup and became
Hollywood royalty overnight how could
you not notice him
this boy is few like fire it’s not
melting ladies because the boy is hotter
than happy hot in a film that is itself
eccentric flashy and indescribable media
darling and Guide to the Stars Ruby rhod
will leave you stunned and breathless
and we’ll leave probably more than a few
people annoyed to remove the bomb the
lounge will go off of all the hotels
have mom depict this perhaps telling us
more than we care to admit about where
our culture of media loving paparazzi
glamour and bizarre fashion is headed in
the future Ruby rhod stands out even
among his extremely bizarre co-stars
leaving number 8 Albert Goldman The
Birdcage I woke up feeling so good huh
now all of a sudden I feel so funny this
comedy a remake of a similar French film
is full of eccentric characters from
Hank Azaria’s flashy foreign made to
Robin Williams subdued but at times
outrageous drag club owner Armond I’m on
why don’t you let me be in the show come
on aren’t you afraid of my watermelon is
your what but no one can top Nathan Lane
as Williams drag queen by night partner
indifference is the most awful thing in
the world Armand whether he’s sporting
leopard print a floppy hat or a sensible
pink skirt suit albert also known as
starina also known as mrs. Goldman also
known as mrs. Coleman and always the
center of attention Here I am oh please
please forgive me for being so late but
the traffic was unbelievable hilarity
ensues when they try to tone down their
extravagant and eccentric lifestyle in
order to welcome the very bland
soon-to-be in-laws hide your feather
boas number seven Caesar Flickerman The
Hunger Games franchise
science fiction and fantasy epics are
breeding grounds for eccentric
characters and The Hunger Game series is
no exception and try you will although
Elizabeth Banks Effie epitomizes the
capital’s excess in fashion and greedy
lifestyles and may the odds be ever in
your favor no character is more
larger-than-life than Caesar Flickerman
that was quite an entrance that you made
at the tributes parade the other day
played with an almost psychotic
exaggerated serial killer smile by the
great Stanley Tucci Caesar stands as the
voice of the nation thank you thank you
for being here tonight on the eve of the
75th Hunger Games he is an extreme
version of reality show host as he
spends time interviewing the doomed
contestants of upcoming Hunger Games
with style and a creepy and unsettling
charm what a night let’s hear it number
six
Austin Powers the Austin Powers
franchise yeah baby yeah everyone knows
him as the greatest spy 1960s swinging
London had ever seen and we will avoid
using any of his catchphrases do I make
you horny
Randy you all make you horny baby yeah
the loud and colorful clothing the
over-the-top accent and unavoidable
teeth and chest hair might make him
stick out like a sore thumb by today’s
standards and therefore make him a
terrible secret agent
but back in his own time he fit right in
one crazy getup you got there fellow hey
thank you he wouldn’t even be a
hilarious eccentric and memorable
character had he not been frozen in time
chasing dr. evil and woken up at the
turn of the century irresistible to
women
deadly to his enemies a legend in his
own time number five the Joker Batman
and the Dark Knight
tell you what I’m thinking about sweetie
he might dress like a clown paint his
face like a clown and laugh like a clown
but the Clown Prince of Crime is no
laughing matter
impossible to fit in the Joker is often
portrayed in bright purple clothing neon
green hair and very often cackling and
covered in someone’s blood
I believe whatever doesn’t kill you
simply makes humor stranger Batman’s
greatest nemesis and Freudian
counterpart takes everything about Bruce
Wayne’s brooding dark shadowy world and
turns it on its head
even to a guy like me that’s cold never
losing steam The Joker has been a
psychotic and perverse fashion statement
for decades now he turns to me and he
says why so serious
number four jerath the Goblin King
labyrinth what’s sad is sad but I didn’t
mean it the 80s were a strange time full
of excess and flamboyant evil characters
especially in the bizarre fantasy films
of the time go back to your room
play with your toys and your costumes
forget about the baby the only way you
can top that is by casting the most
eccentric rock star you can find No
with David Bowie’s star power including
hair metal-look and Jim Henson’s bizarre
imagination labyrinth became a weirdly
entertaining cult classic as the Goblin
King David Bowie spends his time wearing
fancy robes stealing babies and playing
with crystal balls that wasn’t enough
cue the Goblin dance number
number three dr. Frank N Furter the
Rocky Horror Picture Show seimetz my
faithful hand
is he a scientist a vampire an alien or
just a sweet transvestite
hard to tell underneath all that makeup
and lingerie but one thing is for sure
he is one hell of a lover
Tim Curry’s now iconic portrayal shocked
audiences in the 70s not only because of
how it redefined what over-the-top could
mean but also how it defined a
generation by being simply otherworldly
I see you shiver with anticipation and
it made both men and women uncomfortably
attracted to him but tonight is the
night and my beautiful teacher is
destined to be boy Frank broke all
stereotypes and put them back together
to create a new monster Oh Rocky
whatever happened to fairy number two
Willy Wonka Willy Wonka and the
Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory good morning Starshine
the earth says hello
as if Gene Wilder’s classic role as the
famous chocolatier wasn’t eccentric
enough Johnny Depp comes along decades
later and Tim Burton’s it up my name is
Willy Wonka although both actors brought
the perfect amount of creepiness to the
great Willy Wonka the secluded and
secretive genius who finally opens up
his factory doors looking for a
successor Johnny Depp decided to ham it
up with ever-changing bizarre outfits
and creepy musical numbers
might be a step up in the flamboyant
scale from Gene Wilder slightly
psychotic and rage suppressing inventor
invention right here and is 93 percent
perspiration six percent electricity
four percent evaporation and two percent
butterscotch Ripple either way try not
to cross either of them before we lift
the velvet curtain for our top pick here

rageous and eccentric characters such as
the previously mentioned Willy Wonka and
Edward Scissorhands to name a few

attitude cadence and mannerisms that

the huge success of these films see this
