- Homer Simpson. The classic bumbling working man from the adult cartoon "The Simpsons", Homer is stupid, loving, drunk, and endearing. He obviously loves his family, yet often manages to mess something up, which he responds to with his iconic "Doh!"
- Mickey Mouse. On the opposite end of the cartoon spectrum, Mickey has entertained children (and adults) for decades. The classic TV cartoon character has launched an empire, and is possibly the most recognizable cartoon character in existence.
- Stan Marsh. From the naughty "South Park", Stan is a TV cartoon character who, though concerned with ten-year-old boy activities like video games and playing with friends, has a very mature side. Stan points out societal flaws and philosophical issues all while swearing at and insulting his buddies.
- Lois Griffin. While many would point to Peter Griffin from "Family Guy" as the more iconic character, Lois is a much more original character. Throughout the series she has been portrayed as kind, intelligent, naughty, brutally honest, nurturing, and cultured. She loves her bumbling husband, but at times she just has to sigh and wonder how she ended up married to him.
- Ren and Stimpy. Though created for children, the "Ren and Stimpy" show displayed a shocking amount of violence and gross-out scenes. This infamous show paved the way for similar programing, though since few children's shows rival its shock value.
- Turanga Leela. From "Futurama", Leela is a kick-butt space captain who is both kind hearted and sarcastic. The opposite of her friend Amy, Leela is a mutant tomboy who takes charge and outsmarts and outwits the boys.
- Hank Hill. From "King of the Hill", Hank is a TV cartoon character who is, as he says himself at his wife's former ranch, "complicated." This TV cartoon character is a redblooded American who loves beer, barbeque, and all things American, and he is also a very caring and concerned citizen.
- Lucy Van Pelt. From "Peanuts", Lucy is the sister you love to hate. Famous for her advice booth and for moving the football when Charlie Brown goes to kick it, Lucy is a sassy girl who is a cultural icon.
- Wile E. Coyote. While Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are more iconic, Wile E. Coyote represents the ultimate frustration (a Sisyphean struggle). This TV cartoon character spends all his time trying to bring down the Roadrunner, only to have every attempt dashed and end up extremely injured.
- Tigger. From "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" (and other "Winnie the Pooh" series'), Tigger just wants to have fun. In an always-moving, stressful world, Tigger shows that there is nothing wrong with good, old-fashioned fun.
