Some of our favorite fictional characters are so wonderful and relatable because they represent a very specific part of the US. The best fictional characters from every state speak to American&nbsp;truths at large while simultaneously embodying the quirks, mannerisms, and twangs of certain regions. Whether the most famous fictional character in every state is from a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-famous-book-from-each-state/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">book</a>, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-famous-movie-from-each-state/mason-weigel" target="_blank">movie</a>, or <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-famous-tv-show-from-each-state/zack-howe" target="_blank">TV show</a>, they entertain us and make us proud (or sometimes embarrassed) to call our state of residence &quot;home.&quot;From characters like Dwight Schrute of Pennsylvania serving up a twisted take on farm life&nbsp;to Ace Ventura acting crazy like Floridians are wont to do, these famous fictional characters from every state do a fantastic job of reppin' their state while contributing significantly to the melting pot that is American fiction.&nbsp;

Who Is The Most Famous Fictional Character From Your State?

poll

List of TV's most memorable characters, of all time, chosen by the Ranker community. What makes a character live on in the public's memory, even years after the original run of their respective TV programs? In some cases, it's the amount of depth that the show's writers, actors and other creators were able to bring to the character over the course of many years. For many of the greatest TV characters of all time, audiences feel like they get to know personalities like Dexter Morgan from &quot;Dexter.&quot; Even after the show leaves the air, they may not want that relationship to end. (Thankfully, they don't have to, as many shows live on for years after their cancellation on DVD and in syndication.) The best TV characters are ones that you feel like you know and that you'd want to be friends with.TV has brought many famous characters to life who have been extremely compelling, even if they are not entirely likeable. Viewers may not wish to know dangerous, shadowy figures like Tony Soprano, Vernon Schillinger, and Omar Little in reality, but following their exploits safely from the comfort of your living room can be appealing. Likewise, people who might be aloof or downright unpleasant in real life - think &quot;Mad Men's&quot; Don Draper or Al Swearengen of &quot;Deadwood&quot; - can prove charming, even admirable, when seen at a distance, with the subtext and intricacy that a top long-running TV show can provide.Who is the greatest TV character ever? This list contains the names of the greatest, most fascinating, and most enduring fictional characters from TV of all time. Be sure to vote for your favorites, and if some of your favorite popular characters aren't represented, go ahead and re-rank the list to contribute to the discussion.

Characters We'll Never Forget

Most Annoying

You know them. You hate them. Honestly, who knows&nbsp;why these characters even exist. Did someone think they were funny? Maybe adorable? Seriously? Like fingernails on a chalkboard, these annoying characters take teeth-gritting perseverance and expert channel-switching to avoid. Usually an attempt at comic relief, these are the characters you can&#39;t even love to hate. You just hate them. There are even some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/whiniest-heroes-movies/ashley-reign" target="_blank">movie heroes whose incessant whininess</a> is enough to drive us all crazy.

Who is the most annoying movie or TV character of all time? We may never know. But this list will help us get a step closer (and let you know which movies and shows to avoid). Do annoying movie characters like Jar Jar Binks make Star Wars not worth watching? Maybe not. But we definitely won&#39;t be seeing any spinoff sequels starring the annoying little guy.

Is Barney the most annoying TV character ever? Or do you hate Screech more? No one can blame you for finding these characters obnoxious and terrible, but to crown the worst offender, you&#39;ve got to make your voice heard. Vote for the MOST annoying characters, rank them as you see fit... and be sure to add any that are missing.

Is Gromit from Wallace and Gromit the coolest dog sidekick on our list, or is it Jake from Adventure Time? Scooby Doo himself has his own stoner sidekick, Shaggy, but is Garth Algar from Wayne’s World a better loadie sidekick? When the rubber meets the road, there’s no better brother in arms than James &quot;Rhodey&quot; Rhodes from Iron Man... unless it’s Nick “Goose” Bradshaw from Top Gun, or Chewie from <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-characters-in-the-star-wars-universe?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Star Wars</a>.

Names

Talking about the real names of fictional characters looks&nbsp;like a silly thing on the surface. After all, does a fictional character possess a&nbsp;“real” name, anyway? But fictional characters are&nbsp;just like you! Meaning, fictional characters with dumb names get just as embarrassed of their parents' decisions as you do. The legal names of fictional characters&nbsp;range from the strange, to the bizarre, to the downright embarrassing. In most cases, these poor fictional characters&nbsp;received a ridiculous name not once but&nbsp;twice, from their real-world creator and then again from their in-universe parents. Mom and dad, trying to buck the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/fictional-characters-named-john/reference" target="_blank">fictional John name trend</a>, instead decided to name you Veritably; naturally, you'd go for any other name in place of it, even if it were as simple as &quot;Mr. Clean.&quot;Some of the silly names of fictional characters&nbsp;provide a level of embarrassment to those unfortunate enough to wear such monikers. Others are hidden completely, and then revealed in a dramatic and humorous fashion. Occasionally, the real names of characters won’t even be revealed in universe, leaving fans scouring instruction manuals and appendices to find them. Did you ever catch the Monopoly Man's real name, or even Jughead's&nbsp;real name for that matter? It's okay, they never wanted you to know anyway.

18 Fictional Characters With Really Stupid "Real Names"

List of the greatest talking animals in television history, as ranked by television critics, historians, and fans. Throughout the years, television has seen its fair share of speaking animal characters, each with their own personalities as unique as they would be if they were human characters. These characters come in all sorts of species, from a household dog to moose that stands on two legs. Although a vast majority of these characters are animated, there are a few which are live action. The live action talking animals, such as Mister Ed or the storytelling dog Wishbone, are impressive because the show runners needed to use a mix of real, cooperative animals, voice actors, and special effects. While many of the TV talking animal characters on this list speak and act as if they were human beings, a few talk with speech impediments and act very much like animals, such as Scooby Doo. Characters like Brian Griffin from Family Guy act completely like humans in animal suits, while characters like Winnie the Pooh act completely within their animal’s nature.Who are television’s best talking animals? This list features a wide array of animals who talk from generations of television, made by live action and cartoon creators alike.

What's Old Is New Again

Then And Now

It comes as no surprise&nbsp;the longest-running&nbsp;primetime scripted television series&nbsp;in history is a cartoon. After all, the characters in The Simpsons never age out of their roles! Though they appear as&nbsp;immutable generational entertainment, cartoon characters&nbsp;change over time, improved upon by&nbsp;new animators and writers as well as&nbsp;developments in technology. This ability to constantly improve and innovate a cast of static characters allows many of&nbsp;these series <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-favorite-cartoons-of-all-time">to remain favorites to this day</a>.Sometimes, the changes are barely noticeable, while at others,&nbsp;the new cartoons or characters look&nbsp;almost unrecognizable from the originals. As much a reflection of time as they are of advancements in animation, the series below will undoubtedly continue to evolve over time&nbsp;and, based on the changes seen already, in ways you may never see coming.

Gendered clothing is an age-old concept, but thanks to the global phenomenon of&nbsp;RuPaul&#39;s Drag Race -&nbsp;and an overall increase in LGBTQ cultural visibility&nbsp;-&nbsp;the notion of subverting those clothing norms has&nbsp;rapidly expanded within the mainstream like never before.&nbsp;Impersonating another gender&nbsp;is a <a href="http://time.com/5188791/rupauls-drag-race-history/" target="_blank">key&nbsp;cornerstone of queer culture</a>&nbsp;- drag is not only a high art form&nbsp;but is also a valuable tool for dismantling&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/third-genders-around-the-world/rachel-souerbry" target="_blank">gender binary</a>.&nbsp;Outside&nbsp;of these circles, however, drag and gender-bending&nbsp;attire have never been taken particularly&nbsp;seriously.

From Some Like It Hot to&nbsp;Tootsie to&nbsp;She&#39;s the Man, gender-bending is a frequent trope in romantic comedies because it often harvests an easy laugh from those unfamiliar with the practice. Similarly, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/gay-cartoon-characters/hannah-collins" target="_blank">cartoons</a>&nbsp;and children&#39;s entertainment have done the same for decades. From&nbsp;The Simpsons&nbsp;to&nbsp;SpongeBob SquarePants, there&#39;s a very high chance that many of your favorite childhood characters have dressed outside the typical gender norms at least once, and for a lot of LGBTQ kids, this slim glimmer of representation may have been a formative experience.
