Without Tex Avery we’d have none of our favorite cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny, Droopy, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and a host of others. We’d also be years behind in the “do anything” department of animation. The crazy antics, cartoon physics, and quantum anomalies that are abound in cartoons may have never been realized if it weren’t for Tex Avery.

George Carlin was a king among comedians. He wasn’t afraid to tell the truth, no matter how offensive it was. We miss him dearly every day and we can only hope that someday someone with a glimmer of the genius that George Carlin possessed comes along to entertain us once again.

The Golden Girls was an epic win for being able to be so hilarious, while also being socially poignant, interesting, and thought provoking. They frequently talked about things like sex, AIDs, homosexuality, etc., and they did it all while being four older ladies, which most people didn’t expect. There’s something just inherently funny about three old ladies standing around a department store talking about condoms.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids was an Epic Win with its huge sets and props, like the huge cookie they found in the yard, or the ant that behaved like a pet horse or dog and allowed them to ride it. It also had an epicly bad soundtrack.

“Don’t mess with the bull young man, you’ll get the horns.”

Sixteen Candles was more of a girly flick, but The Breakfast Club could be appreciated by both genders. There was a little something for everyone to appreciate about this movie. Of all the John Hughes movies this one was the most accessible to the largest audience. It also seems like this was the one most frequently played on television on Saturday afternoons.

“Could you describe the ruckus sir?”
