315 pop culture figures to be identified – no google cheating

Many of the icons that we discuss here on this board; BTTF, Blues Brothers, Village People…..

http://dmctalk.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=6348&d=1319717509

To start, here’s my guess at the first three rows:

1. Pulp Fiction, Marx Brothers, ?, ?, Village People, Mario, ?, ?, Alice Cooper?
2. Batman, Simpsons, ?, TMNT, Che, ?, ?, Betty Boop, ?
3. ?, Terminator, Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummy, ?, Beatles, ?, ?, Sponge Bob

[Ron]

I can't believe you missed Elvis!

(Go work on you transmission dude! ;-)

[SamHill]

1) Marx Brothers

[Dangermouse]

I can't believe you missed Elvis!

(Go work on you transmission dude! ;-)

That doesn't help me if he is in the first 3 rows. If he's rows 4-15, I haven't got there yet. Give me a row and a neighbor

(i'm in a holding pattern for my trans....)

[DMCVegas]

Here's my guesses:

Pulp Fiction, Marx Brothers, Taxi Driver, ? Villiave People, Mario & Luigi, ?,?, Ozzy?
Batman/Joker/Two-Face, Simpsons, Sonic the Hedgehog, Ninja Turtles, Che Guerva, ?, ?, Betty Boop, ?
Fantastic 4, ?, Dracula, Frankenstien, Mummy, ?, The Beatles, ?, ?, Sponge Bob
Wallace & Gromit, ?, Charlie Chaplain, Spiderman, ?, Buster Keaton, ?, ?, Star Wars, Tron, ?, WALL-E
Star Wars, Magnum P.I.?, ?, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Carrabean
The A-Team, The Avengers, Kick Ass, True Grit, Scream, ?, Angry Birds, Looney Tunes
Jason, The Watchmen, Toy Story, ?, Daft Punk, ZZ Top, Demolition Man
Shreck, Blues Brothers, The Flash, Pacman, ?, ? Gorillaz, Ghost Rider, Easy Rider, ? BTTF, ?, Ronal McDonald
Harold Lloyd, South Park, ?, ?, Laurel & Hardy, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, Wizard of Oz, Mega Man
?, ?, ?, Marvin the Robot, Freddy Kruger, Space Ghost?, Scooby Doo, ?, ?, Adams Family
?, ?, ?, Jack Skellington, KISS, Pokemon, ?, Judge Dredd, Monchichis?, ?, Wonder Woman
Smurf?, ?, ?, Alex DeLarge?, ?, ?, ?, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, ?, Waldo, ?, ?
X-Men, The Big Lebowski, Gizmo, Moonwalker, Mickey Mouse, Futurama, ?, ?, ?, Ziggy Stardust
?, Guy Fawks, Robocop, ?, ?, Sylvester & Tweety, ?, ?, ?, ?
?,?, ?, Avatar, The Shadow, ?, ?, ?, Teletubbies, Braveheart, ?


I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand I feel old and out of touch. On another I feel used and conditioned as a consumer to recognize brands...

(i'm in a holding pattern for my trans....)Ah, ok...I figured that would be cheating ;-) 1st row, 2nd from last?

[Karin]

I can see the Ice Age characters and teletubbies at the last row.

[orbitron3000]

I think the second to last row, second and third from the right are Naruto (Yellow hair) and Altair (white hood)

I am so surprised the Stooges aren't on this. I would've recognized them right away. >.<

[DMC5180]

Row 1 second from the end is Not Elvis. I don't recall him being known for Sunglasses.

I'd say Roy Orbison

[Dangermouse]

4x5 The Bradys (Mike and Carol)


(Last two columns are clipped)

Alternative suggestion for 4x5 - starsky & hutch

Which I prefer, because if it was the Bradys surely they would all be there?


Oh , and very very last one - Metropolis

Dang you made me dig....
Could be...but Roy Orbison didn't have full length sideburns (if that's what that is), nor part his hair on that side. Speaking of parts, it actually looks like a honkey with a fro to me.

You don't remember the TCB sunglasses (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sugexp=kjrmc&cp=7&gs_id=m&xhr=t&q=tcb+glasses&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1024&bih=583&wrapid=tljp1319920078609012&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi#um=1&hl=en&biw=1024&bih=583&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=elvis++tcb+sunglasses&oq=&aq=&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=7d4f5fbd75404eec)!?!
In the latter years, I don't remember him off stage without tint much.

I agree.
