If you think about it, a character that's labeled as an icon in less then a decade is very impressive. Considering the legendary company on that list, that are older than 25 years old
@@jojoke9356 I mean it was and I know that, but within the 2000's, Spongebob was already considered an icon, or at least very recognizable, which of course marketing and merchandises played a huge role, but still.
And even Optimus Prime from the Transformers franchise when he is a toy as well as Alvin and the Chipmunks when this is a band. But she stated comic books, not comics in general is excluded off the list. Good point, anyways. When this is for original cartoon characters that originally appeared in short films and TV shows, when Charlie Brown was originally in a comic strip (not a Cartoon, but comics).
@@EgyptianChiefKeef You mean every character that originally appeared in a comic book issue published by DC Comics and Marvel Comics are comic book characters.
@@LooneyCartoonMan yes Spider-Man Iron man Captain America Thor The avengers Storm Venom and pretty much any other marvel or dc character is a comic book character

SpongeBob was only really good for his first 5 years, (1999-2004). After that, they should have quit making episodes because since then, or possibly 1 or 2 years after, they've all sucked.

Jenny Akers I disagree. Bugs is just much more enjoyable to watch, micky just has no humor nor charisma compared to bugs. And if they would battle it out micky wouldn't have a chance.
"I hope we never lose sight of one thing. That it was all started by a mouse." -Walt Disney Mickey Mouse always was, and forever will be the best cartoon character ever conceived.
Yely Harmony what makes a great cartoon is not simply just whether or not it’s funny. Cartoons can serve many purposes. They can evoke different emotions. It’s not all laughs. Knowing this, it’s not even a fucking debate that Mickey Mouse is the best of all time. Not even close.
JDreamz transformers has had cartoons too dumbass. More cartoons than Spongebob will ever have. Sure Spongebob has way more seasons than any of them but there will only ever be one cartoon. No one will ever do a remake or a new cartoon of Spongebob in the future once his show has ended, but I bet that there will be Transformers cartoons still being made.
In fairness, I would give Mickey, and Bugs a tie simply because their evenly match as far as cartoon icons go, but I would give the slight edge to Bugs mostly due to his wit, and devious ways of outsmarting his opponent.
@@normanpopcultureboy8563 In my opinion. I wouldn't put Tom and Jerry put of Hanna Barbara even though the founders created the show. I say that because Tom and Jerry was part of MGM. In my opinion

Seriously? Had you no childhood man!? Never mind me being pissed for Homer makin it to no. 3 (let it be known I hate the Simpsons), but like Lemi here said b4 me, It's fucking BUGS BUNNY! the fucker help raise me!
+Justin Daubon yeah but at least he's on this list. i always knew the show would be successful back when it started in 1999, BUT i didn't know he'd get THIS far which makes me very happy.
Betty Boop - Absolute Classic Spongebob Squarepants - OH GOD, NO! Optimus Prime - KICK ASS 80'S! Charlie Brown - A loser you want to route for. Tom and Jerry - BRILLIANT (Should be higher) Scooby Doo - Probably would have been higher if it hadn't been for Scrappy. Fred Flintstone - Classic Angry Hot head! Love him! Homer Simpson - Seasons 1-13 FUNNY Seasons 14-Onwards ANNOYING Mickey Mouse - Truly Classic Bugs Bunny - CALLED IT!!!!!
even though i dont like the show Spongebob deserves it has been on for 15 years and still draws in its old fans from time to time plus its the only 90's show still on from the original days
true but he is a cartoon that has passed a milestone no other childhood cartoon of the 80's or 90's has made it that far without a reboot or something else skinned over it . . . . well fairly odd parents but that stopped being more "mainstream"
***** yeah and i was 8 years old still apart of my childhood aired right there with rocket power cat dog and the good stuff lol i count it as a 90's show
Honestly, I think they're equally awesome. There probably isn't anyone who doesn't know Mickey Mouse, but the same can be said for Bugs Bunny. Bugs and Mickey are my definitely in the top spots of my favorite cartoon characters, but Tom and Jerry was probably my favorite cartoon when I was a kid.
When I was a kid Mickey was a toy who happened to be on TV once or twice. Bugs was all over the place, I saw so many of his cartoons! In my mind Bugs has a more pervasive presence in our society. Has anybody seen the mickey cartoons on TH-cam? I really don't get how anybody could argue that they're funnier than Bugs' stuff.
Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny is like Marvel vs. DC or Disney vs. Warner Bros. You're never going to satisfy anyone. Though personally I perfer Bugs Bunny.
Lol totally agree and I am fan off Marvel, DC, Disney, Warner Bros, Bugs and Mickey. But where I like Marvel and Disney more, I love Bugs Bunny. He's one of my favourite cartoon characters ever.
I think that 1-3 are irreplaceable, Spongebob Squarepants Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse in no specific order. 4-10 can be anything with a good argument, but some very valuable mentions are Scooby, Homer, Peter, Snoopy, Tom & Jerry, Courage (a lot of dogs lol), Fred Flintstone, Goofy, Zim, Timmy Turner, Fin, Yogi Bear, the Smurfs... I could go on and on, I APOLOGIZE if I missed some larger ones, and I tried to include more 2000s shows because you gotta give them credit.
Mickey Mouse revolutionized the animation industry since 1928 and his ears alone is more recognizable than Bugs lol and he is a world icon and the world stopped for Mickey's 50th birthday that never happened to Bugs right.
FunkyHonkyCDXX no im asking your opinion bro lol I can see how they would be but for me they werent apart of my childhood as much as like angry beavers hey arnold or AUGH real monsters so im wondering
@@m56214 they definitly aren't iconic on the degree of the characters in this list. And Ren and Stimpy wasn't really a kids cartoon it was just shown on kids programing and bordered the line between dumb enough for kids but smart enough for adult humor
Bugs will never be more iconic than Mickey. Mickey's ears alone are more known than Bugs lol The world stopped for a moment just to celebrate Mickey's 50th Birthday. Bugs? Nope.
It doesn't matter who's better known or who was first...Bugs Bunny is way funnier than Mickey and that's all that matters...Why would I want to watch an iconic cartoon that's not even funny?
Of course Bugs Bunny is number 1, he is the big bang of cartoon popularity. Furthermore, Cartoon Network still shows his cartoons, some of which date as far back as 1949.
Wow, Mickey at number 2? I'm very surprised, he's practically a worldwide symbol for American culture. I'm gonna guess Bugs Bunny is number 1. Am I right? I'll find out in two seconds...
Bugs Bunny rules! Sadly I think most kids today aren't very familiar with Bugs. Mickey Mouse is still a household name after all these years, but Bugs seems to have drifted away. I guess that's cause the Disney characters are more kid-friendly compared to the slapstick violent-prone Looney Tunes. That, plus the fact that since the Back in Action movie flopped at the box office more than a decade ago, the people running Warner Bros. these days think the Looney Tunes are ancient history.
21. Optimus Prime 20. Garfield 19. Shaggy 18. Goofy 17. The Smurfs 16. Alvin and the Chipmunks 15. Ash and Pikachu 14. Tweety 13. Mickey 12. Popeye 11. Peter Griffin 10. Mr. Bean 9. Rick 8. Fred Flinstone 7. Donald Duck 6. Homer Simpson 5. Buggs Bunny 4. Pink Panther 3. Scooby 2. Spongebob 1. Tom and Jerry
No way Peter Griffin is more iconic or a better character than Optimus Prime. Transformers is at least 10 times more popular than the garbage fire Family Guy has become. It's not even a close call, Peter is in top 50 on a good day but Optimus is in top 10 for sure.
I think he was left off because he originated in children's books and not in animation. Fun fact: I was obsessed with Winnie the Pooh for some years when I was little, and began to lose interest when I was about seven or eight, in part because I was becoming more interested in other cartoons (especially Pokémon), and also because it was around the time that Disney started marketing Pooh to babies, toddlers, and girls. (Gender roles, how I hate you.) If only I could've seen how popular My Little Pony has become with teen boys and young adult men... (Disney, are you reading this? I think I've found your next merchandising campaign to counter Bronies.)
10. Whinny the Pooh 9. Pluto 8. Tom and Jerry 7. Scooby Doo 6. Charlie Brown 5. Snoopy 4. Goofy 3. Donald 2. Bugs Bunny 1. WHO'S THE LEADER OF THE PACK WHO'S MADE FOR YOU AND ME M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E MICKEY MOUSE MICKEY MOUSE MICKEY MOUSE!!!
Spider Man In my opinion optimus should have been number 1 but I'm a child of the 80s so transformers where the best thing in my life at the time cause my father died and I was sad but transformers cheered me up when I saw it come up on TV
Mr21Daytime The title of the video is "Top ten Iconic Cartoon Characters" I really do believe that Mickey Mouse has been more of an Icon to the modern age.
#10: Betty Boop #9: SpongeBob SquarePants #8: Optimus Prime #7: Charlie Brown #6: Tom & Jerry #5: Scooby-Doo #4: Fred Flintstone #3: Homer Simpson #2: Mickey Mouse #1: Bugs Bunny Honorable Mentions: - Alvin and the Chipmunks - Popeye - Rocky and Bullwinkle - Garfield - Stewie Griffin - Eric Cartman
Hey guys, I just realized Batman would have been perfect for honorable mentions list or at least the bottom half. Every animated series he was in was iconic and the holy grail 90s animated series was award winning and arguably the greatest animated show (definitely top 5) of the 90s 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇 Like this comment for the Bats 👍
I know them, but I dont know why lol. Its just one of those things you just know. I Remember I used to watch them, when I was little, but I cant even remember
Thorus Zwolf I think they're looking specifically on screen,, not overall cultural impact. If it was overall cultural impact you'd be right. But Looney Toons is so much bigger than any tv production disney put out with mickey mouse.
bugs bunny is my favourite. i do also like spongbob and the simpsons. but this list is about most iconic characters, i would put mickey mouse at the top
I know this video is a year old but still... How is Winnie the Pooh not here? I mean, I know he originated in books, but as a character he pre-dated Micky Mouse and has been in numerous cartoons over the years.
Bob Bobman True.. true.. :^) And I've just read (payed attention to): "I know he originated in books" and "pre-dated Micky Mouse", I see.. I honestly thought he was a Disney-original..
Arab Katib Actually Disney bought all rights to the character in the 1960's but he'd been around for a while by then. So he's not really 100% a "Disney" character.
thats true and a good point. Im not disagreeing bugs should be on there, i grew up with him and love him! But mickey is known world wide. you can find more merchandise that you would ever know what to do with online and other just from his iconic ears. He also has his iconic theme song. SerbStar2011
SerbStar2011 I agree about that, but Mickey is older and he is the face of cartoon, he's the first thing we represent when thinking about cartoon... And America's not the center of the world, Mickey is by far more known worldwide than Bugs Bunny...
WayneAnime Why would you think that? Charlie Brown, Archie, Casper the Friendly Ghost... They're all comics. It's not remotely obvious that they define "comics" as specifically superhero comics.
I thought they said no comics (such as Batman). However, Charlie Brown and Garfield both started out in comic strips. Garfield wasn't animated 'till years later.
I would make say my own top ten but then it would be quite biast. Nearly (if not all) the list would be Looney Tunes chracters. P.S. Bugs Bunny should be 1 to all people who disagree. Much more entertaining than Mickey Mouse.
Joe Horne This isn't the top 10 most entertaining cartoon characters. This is the top 10 most ICONIC cartoon characters. Do you honestly think Bugs Bunny can compete with THIS? cliparts.co/cliparts/pio/A6p/pioA6pxoT.png
TheFinalChapters yes, Bugs Bunny can compete with this, and still win. While Mickey may be more iconic than Bugs, Looney Tunes as a whole are WAY more iconic than the Disney Cartoons.
+Joe Horne This is not about entertaining. This is about the massive impact they have had in our culture, let alone society. And Mickey Mouse, without a doubt, had that charm by miles over Bugs.
no chip and dale, no popeye, no winnie the pooh, no gummy bears or care bears, no smurfs... there were a couple of the characters on the list that shouldn't have been there.
GamingTV. like betty boop... maybe she was a big thing... but i don't see her like an ICON now... optimus prime... i'm not sure he is top 10.. top 20 for sure, top 15 - probably. but not top 10. spongebob... i'm not sure either. is he iconic? he is pretty new. very famous for sure, but iconic? probably, probably not. who knows after 15 years what his status will be? look i like those characters too, but i just think there are other that are more ICONIC than them and deserve more to be in the top 10 Iconic Characters
jesus christ That doesn't keep him from being ignorant, does it. Maybe isak just had this feeling that Filip is ignorant without really referring to his post^^
10.) Felix The Cat 9.) Rocky and Bullwinkle 8.) Popeye 7.) Woody Woodpecker 6.) Snoopy 5.) Scooby-Doo 4.) Optimus Prime 3.) Tom and Jerry 2.) Mickey Mouse 1.) Bugs Bunny Honorable mentions: - Papa Smurf - Spongebob - Betty Boop - Fred Flinstone - Garfield - Casper The Friendly Ghost

Honestly, I think they're equally awesome. There probably isn't anyone who doesn't know Mickey Mouse, but the same can be said for Bugs Bunny. Bugs and Mickey are my definitely in the top spots of my favorite cartoon characters, but Tom and Jerry was probably my favorite cartoon when I was a kid.
When I was a kid Mickey was a toy who happened to be on TV once or twice. Bugs was all over the place, I saw so many of his cartoons! In my mind Bugs has a more pervasive presence in our society.
Has anybody seen the mickey cartoons on TH-cam? I really don't get how anybody could argue that they're funnier than Bugs' stuff.
Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny is like Marvel vs. DC or Disney vs. Warner Bros. You're never going to satisfy anyone. Though personally I perfer Bugs Bunny.
I agree. Except I don't
Lol totally agree and I am fan off Marvel, DC, Disney, Warner Bros, Bugs and Mickey. But where I like Marvel and Disney more, I love Bugs Bunny. He's one of my favourite cartoon characters ever.
Superman Clark Kent ❤
Bugs and Mickey should be the other way round, no one in the western world doesn't know who Mickey is!
Who is bugs?
Bugs bunny
Plus he is the face of the worlds biggest animation companies.
Yeah, the most recognisable character in the world should probably have been number one really.
but he does´t have any personality trades, he is just animated and that's it, Bugs on the other hand
I think that 1-3 are irreplaceable, Spongebob Squarepants Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse in no specific order. 4-10 can be anything with a good argument, but some very valuable mentions are Scooby, Homer, Peter, Snoopy, Tom & Jerry, Courage (a lot of dogs lol), Fred Flintstone, Goofy, Zim, Timmy Turner, Fin, Yogi Bear, the Smurfs... I could go on and on, I APOLOGIZE if I missed some larger ones, and I tried to include more 2000s shows because you gotta give them credit.
SB smashes the top 10 but not the top 3 I reckon
Even though there great cartoons Courage and Zim aren't really iconic
Fr
Tom and Jerry no.1
SpongeBob should have been up a few more places. He's just so amazing.
You are out of your mind, it sucks...
@@CainNuke spongebob is that show
The 1999-2004 ones are Golden
What why say it sucks
I hate spongebob squarepants,because he sucks
Da faq? SpongeBob at #9?! He's....SPONGEBOB!!! Oh, come on!!! I CALL BULL-BULL!!!
Watchmojo is ruining our Childhoods by putting it at #9.
+Chestosneako Inc
How could they?! ;_;
And Optimus Prime at #8! Come on he's like one of the most popular characters in science fiction
It could be because of the post-season 3 episodes.
I love your profile pic nalu!!!! yeah!
Seriously? Betty Boop, but not Popeye? And how can Bugs be better than Mickey? I demand a recount!
Also Pink Panther and Winnie The Pooh
And woody woodpecker

zafjaf bugs handown but mickyvmouse was racist cartoon when it came out
@@zafjaf Pink rules!!
1 bugs 2 mickey 3 homer 4 spongebob 5 Charley brown in my opinion... Mickey is not known as a character as much as he as known as more of a brand
Mickey Mouse revolutionized the animation industry since 1928 and his ears alone is more recognizable than Bugs lol and he is a world icon and the world stopped for Mickey's 50th birthday that never happened to Bugs right.
Homer Simpson should not be in this list. He’s an adult cartoon character! That should be in a different list.
@@Mrcharles. How??
2 notable omissions: Ren & Stimpy and Chip & Dale.
but how are they iconic ?
If you don't think that Ren & Stimpy were iconic, then I feel very sorry for you.
FunkyHonkyCDXX no im asking your opinion bro lol I can see how they would be but for me they werent apart of my childhood as much as like angry beavers hey arnold or AUGH real monsters so im wondering
@@DxReaper120 They were big in the 90's they probably still would be if Nickelodeon still did reruns of the show
@@m56214 they definitly aren't iconic on the degree of the characters in this list. And Ren and Stimpy wasn't really a kids cartoon it was just shown on kids programing and bordered the line between dumb enough for kids but smart enough for adult humor
Bugs will never be more iconic than Mickey.
Mickey's ears alone are more known than Bugs lol
The world stopped for a moment just to celebrate Mickey's 50th Birthday.
Bugs? Nope.
Bugs > Mickey
Mickey > bugs
@@Bolt_Craft no
It doesn't matter who's better known or who was first...Bugs Bunny is way funnier than Mickey and that's all that matters...Why would I want to watch an iconic cartoon that's not even funny?
Beerus but you will hear more people say “Ehh, what’s up doc?”
Here’s a question, what is Mickeys catchphrase?
I love everyone on this list, even the honorable mentions, but my personal favorite is Tom and Jerry.
Yay! Tom and Jerry FTW :D
Totally.
I’d expect spongebob to be number 3 at least wtf
Cole Taylor i agree
it's relatively new compared to others bro, give it like 20yrs and it will surpass all
They left out Fat Albert
@@tyliekinc. I'm sure it was deliberate.
Bugs bunny is wayyyy better than Mickey in my opinion
I totally agree
Of course.I Like Micky .but Bugs Bunny is my most favourite and of course the best.
But Mickey is more iconic...
thank you!
A real person
Mickey sucks.
I think Mickey is waaaay more popular than Bugs
Marina Gozalez than u live under a rock
Same here Mickey is my first favorite of toons galore
Marina Gozalez there are millions who do not like Disney at all and that includes everything about it
Bro is Mickey a meme no bugs bunny is big chungas think 😑😒👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Duh. There's. Disney Land.
People barely realize they can see Bugz at 6 flags.
Of course Bugs Bunny is number 1, he is the big bang of cartoon popularity. Furthermore, Cartoon Network still shows his cartoons, some of which date as far back as 1949.
The Golden Age Wabbit what is that?
The Golden Age awesome
Mickey Mouse is even older and still relevant though
Spongebob definitely should’ve been top 3 wtf
Mason Eavenson I guess it’s because he’s too young
It’s because of the longevity of the ones ahead of him
He definitely will be by now
@@ganonisking6609 2050 and its top 3
No by 2050 he might be number 1 and a lot of 2000s 2010s iconic cartoon character will come up
i thought spongebob would have been further on the list
No, sponge bob should be further in the list
***** well bugs bunny is really iconic, but yeah sponge bob should be really high up there
agreed.
MEME Lover SpongeBob is the best :D
Wow, Mickey at number 2? I'm very surprised, he's practically a worldwide symbol for American culture. I'm gonna guess Bugs Bunny is number 1. Am I right? I'll find out in two seconds...
Bugs Bunny rules! Sadly I think most kids today aren't very familiar with Bugs. Mickey Mouse is still a household name after all these years, but Bugs seems to have drifted away. I guess that's cause the Disney characters are more kid-friendly compared to the slapstick violent-prone Looney Tunes. That, plus the fact that since the Back in Action movie flopped at the box office more than a decade ago, the people running Warner Bros. these days think the Looney Tunes are ancient history.

No way Peter Griffin is more iconic or a better character than Optimus Prime. Transformers is at least 10 times more popular than the garbage fire Family Guy has become. It's not even a close call, Peter is in top 50 on a good day but Optimus is in top 10 for sure.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned Winnie the Pooh. Back at his peak he used to gross around 6 billion dollars a year, no joke.
Wow. Yellow bears back then.
He was originally a book character.
He only got a few show unlike the others but yeah he's iconic too
I think he was left off because he originated in children's books and not in animation.
Fun fact: I was obsessed with Winnie the Pooh for some years when I was little, and began to lose interest when I was about seven or eight, in part because I was becoming more interested in other cartoons (especially Pokémon), and also because it was around the time that Disney started marketing Pooh to babies, toddlers, and girls. (Gender roles, how I hate you.) If only I could've seen how popular My Little Pony has become with teen boys and young adult men... (Disney, are you reading this? I think I've found your next merchandising campaign to counter Bronies.)
Oh bother winnie the pooh in another top 10 iconic cartoon characters all of time

Spider Man In my opinion optimus should have been number 1 but I'm a child of the 80s so transformers where the best thing in my life at the time cause my father died and I was sad but transformers cheered me up when I saw it come up on TV
ROLL TIDE there's a difference between iconic and best
Your list sucks
This is bias to Mickey Mouse club house for sure
Should optimus prime change with winnie the pooh
my favorites are Popeye,Fat Albert,Ginger Foutley and Reggie Rocket!!
Love Bugs Bunny. I think Daffy Duck also deserves to be in the list somewhere.
Or share the title. Bugs without Daffy is like Shonen Jump without One Piece.
Reiji Arisu Im sure you could have thought of a better example than that...
Reiji Arisu one piece is overrated
your example sucks
Mickey Mouse should have been #1
No spongebob
@@EE-co5xf no one watches the micky cartoon anymore they watch spongebob BUT i know technically micky is more popular
We all know that
@@harveybarton1612 fuc k slave Bob
Yes I agree
bugs bunny should be #2 and Mickey mouse #1
No, Bugs Bunny should be number 1, and Mickey Mouse not number 1.
Mr21Daytime The title of the video is "Top ten Iconic Cartoon Characters" I really do believe that Mickey Mouse has been more of an Icon to the modern age.
***** it ICONIC. not best.
No, Bugs is in his rightful place of number #1
King Harkinian If they allowed anime Pokemon Brock would be number1

- Stewie Griffin
- Eric Cartman
Am I the only one who is incredibly creeped out by Betty Boop's head?
Have you ever seen the real betty boop? well not her real name but look up Esther Jones
No, you're not the only one :O
Betty Boop is pretty perverted.
Good top!
But... where's the Pink Panther?
Popeye should've made the list!!!
Nah he was only relevant in the 20s-30s
+jayleazod no that ain't true. he encouraged kids to eat vegetables
Kha'len McCoy
No even listened to his bald head cancer lookin ass
@@WeenkerIV but popeye would beat everyone on this list i agree he should have been on this list my opinion don't hate
He is a comic strip character.
Hey guys, I just realized Batman would have been perfect for honorable mentions list or at least the bottom half.
Every animated series he was in was iconic and the holy grail 90s animated series was award winning and arguably the greatest animated show (definitely top 5) of the 90s
🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
Like this comment for the Bats 👍
how come popeye is not in the list and betty boop is there?
popeyd was so popular in 1938 he dethroned mickey mouse for a while. watch mojo states this in origins of popeye
+Aniket Bagchi I agree!
Popeye was an honorable mention.
JESSICA RABBIT COULD HAVE BEEN THERE SHE IS NOT ICONIC BUT SHE I JUST LIKE BETTY BOOP
Probably cos they needed to put at least one female charachter
Call me stupid but I don't know who Rocky and Bullwinkle are XD
Me neither. But then again, there were several characters I did not know of.
No, I wouldn't. Quick, go to Netflix now, and experience the wonders of... Rocky and Bullwinkle!!!
And friends
I know them, but I dont know why lol. Its just one of those things you just know. I Remember I used to watch them, when I was little, but I cant even remember
A lot of people don't know them, but they ARE really funny. Really, go watch them!
me too
Honestly this list was pretty good, but I think 1 and 2 should be swapped.
I like Buggs Bunny (AKA Efrum the retarded rabbit) more than Mickey, but Mickey is way more of an icon than Buggs is
Thorus Zwolf I think they're looking specifically on screen,, not overall cultural impact. If it was overall cultural impact you'd be right. But Looney Toons is so much bigger than any tv production disney put out with mickey mouse.
#1 mickey mouse,#2 bugs bunny this has to be swapped because mickey mouse is so iconic
bugs bunny is my favourite. i do also like spongbob and the simpsons. but this list is about most iconic characters, i would put mickey mouse at the top
In terms of cartoons, bugs, but in the case of worldwide influence, Mickey.
Thank God Bugs Bunny was number 1
I know this video is a year old but still... How is Winnie the Pooh not here? I mean, I know he originated in books, but as a character he pre-dated Micky Mouse and has been in numerous cartoons over the years.
Bob Bobman Dude, if you gana cram Disney characters in there? Snow White will beat Winnie the Pooh.. seriously.. That gal is well known even on Mars..
Arab Katib Well I would consider her more of a fairytale character than cartoon character.
Bob Bobman True.. true.. :^)
And I've just read (payed attention to): "I know he originated in books" and "pre-dated Micky Mouse", I see.. I honestly thought he was a Disney-original..
Arab Katib Actually Disney bought all rights to the character in the 1960's but he'd been around for a while by then. So he's not really 100% a "Disney" character.
I don't believe Winnie the Pooh shouldn't be part of the list so I think WatchMojo just forgot about him.Bob Bobman
MICKEY MOUSE #2 ????? Come on !!!! He's THE face of cartooon !!!! Bugs Bunny should be #2 !!!
totally agreed!!!!
thats true and a good point. Im not disagreeing bugs should be on there, i grew up with him and love him! But mickey is known world wide. you can find more merchandise that you would ever know what to do with online and other just from his iconic ears. He also has his iconic theme song. SerbStar2011
SerbStar2011 AND WELCOME TO THE JAM
SerbStar2011 I agree about that, but Mickey is older and he is the face of cartoon, he's the first thing we represent when thinking about cartoon... And America's not the center of the world, Mickey is by far more known worldwide than Bugs Bunny...
You guys probably won’t believe me but I’m related to the guy who plays Homer. He’s my great Uncle.
Wait seriously
Charlie Brown should have been excluded since, by Mojo's own explanation, the Peanuts "originated and are most closely associated with comics."
And Mojo shows Alvin & the Chipmunks as having run from 1983-90, but their first show ran from 1961-62 (as The Alvin Show).
WayneAnime
Why would you think that? Charlie Brown, Archie, Casper the Friendly Ghost... They're all comics. It's not remotely obvious that they define "comics" as specifically superhero comics.
WayneAnime Alright. I'll give you that. Comic strips and comic books aren't the same things. You win. ;)
WayneAnime You cleared it up for me too.
My Top 5
1. Bugs Bunny
2. Spongebob
3. Stewie Griffin
4. Scooby-Doo
5. Eric Cartman
I thought they said no comics (such as Batman). However, Charlie Brown and Garfield both started out in comic strips. Garfield wasn't animated 'till years later.

Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse should've been #1 and 1A. They're equally iconic.
Your telling me Optimus prime is more iconic than popeye?
Andy Walsh yes.
I would make say my own top ten but then it would be quite biast. Nearly (if not all) the list would be Looney Tunes chracters.
P.S. Bugs Bunny should be 1 to all people who disagree. Much more entertaining than Mickey Mouse.
Joe Horne This isn't the top 10 most entertaining cartoon characters. This is the top 10 most ICONIC cartoon characters.
Do you honestly think Bugs Bunny can compete with THIS?
cliparts.co/cliparts/pio/A6p/pioA6pxoT.png
TheFinalChapters yes, Bugs Bunny can compete with this, and still win.
While Mickey may be more iconic than Bugs, Looney Tunes as a whole are WAY more iconic than the Disney Cartoons.
Joe Horne "While Mickey may be more iconic than Bugs"
I'm glad we've come to an agreement. This is about Mickey and Bugs, not anything else.
+Joe Horne This is not about entertaining. This is about the massive impact they have had in our culture, let alone society. And Mickey Mouse, without a doubt, had that charm by miles over Bugs.
I was surprised when I saw Mickey Mouse at number 2. I thought for sure that he would take the top spot.
no chip and dale, no popeye, no winnie the pooh, no gummy bears or care bears, no smurfs...
there were a couple of the characters on the list that shouldn't have been there.
Like who
GamingTV. like betty boop... maybe she was a big thing... but i don't see her like an ICON now...
optimus prime... i'm not sure he is top 10.. top 20 for sure, top 15 - probably. but not top 10.
spongebob... i'm not sure either. is he iconic? he is pretty new. very famous for sure, but iconic? probably, probably not. who knows after 15 years what his status will be?
look i like those characters too, but i just think there are other that are more ICONIC than them and deserve more to be in the top 10 Iconic Characters
I know...no Popeye??
King Harkinian you don't know the Gummi Bears? here that's the intro: /watch?v=2HCjQbKowUo
IcoKirov I've never heard of, or seen that show before lol
I think Woody Woodpecker deserved at least an honorable mention.
YOU HAVE TO PUT SPONGEBOB HIGHER!
WHAT??!!!,Spongebob is only top 9.????and Tom & Jerry is only 6???(well at least they're on the list)
this list needed to be multiple lists separated by decades
2:55 How is Patrick not a worldwide meme already?
Well this aged well
This list is spot on for Americans only probably, so it's more of an "iconic american cartoon characters" ... :)
they didn't have to write that,who cares about anything else than america?
Filip Radić wow you ignorant fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't say that. I like most of these characters as well. But of course it is heavily influenced by Hollywood (and friends).
