Historical Figures

The heroes and villains of history expressed themselves in myriad ways. Some raised armies. Others fought for social change. Some paid the ultimate price.&nbsp;

But while they all accomplished great (or infamous) things&nbsp;during their lifetimes, what would they do today with the power of social media at their disposal? How many more could they influence?&nbsp;

Jonah Hill

Jonah Hill got his big break in the 2007 comedy Superbad and hasn't looked back, continuing to take on comedic roles as well as more dramatic (yet still funny) ones like The Wolf of Wall Street.&nbsp;Fans who have followed Hill for years know that he has branched out both in roles and his look, shedding plenty of pounds since his early days in Hollywood. His recent requests for people not to comment on his body really resonated with some, who felt it was about time that someone called out the image-obsessed media. Others have shrugged that perhaps he should learn to take a compliment and just shrug off the inevitable attention that comes with fame.&nbsp;Either way, vote up the Jonah Hill qualities you think most fit the man. Vote down any statements that feel unfair or uncalled for.&nbsp;

Comedy

The late George Carlin once said, &quot;I think it&#39;s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.&rdquo;

Comedians have always struggled to find the balance between&nbsp;satire and offensiveness. But in today&rsquo;s climate, crossing the line&nbsp;- however it is defined from week to week, month to month, or year to year&nbsp;- can inspire controversy and&nbsp;consequences.&nbsp;

Let&#39;s take a look at some of the comedians who have pushed the envelope and ask the big question: Did they go too far?

Did These Comedians Go Too Far?

Marvel Comics

Of all the TV shows to come from Marvel&#39;s deep bench of characters, a Hit-Monkey series premiering on Hulu on Nov. 1 has to be one of the most unexpected title to emerge from the House of Ideas. Hit-Monkey&#39;s first appearance came just over a decade ago, and while the macaque assassin doesn&#39;t have the cachet of long-stannding heroes like the Punisher or Elektra, that doesn&#39;t make him any less of a force.

There&#39;s a reason why Hit-Monkey&#39;s origin story is getting its own <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-marvel-comic-book-television-show/ranker-tv" target="_blank">Marvel TV show</a>. Based on his victories and exploits, Hit-Monkey has a case to be made as one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-powerless-superheroes/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">most powerful non-powered characters</a> in the Marvel Universe. There&#39;s a lot to learn about this unexpected antihero and his blood-soaked path through the Marvel underworld.

Madagascar Franchise

The filmmakers who came up with a hypochondriac giraffe voiced by David Schwimmer&nbsp;and a kingly lemur voiced by Sacha Baren Cohen in the&nbsp;Madagscar&nbsp;movies paid attention not only to the hilarious menagerie on screen, but also to extra little creative details. In the original <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dreamworks-fan-theories/joedonley" target="_blank">DreamWorks</a>&nbsp;animated&nbsp;film&nbsp;Madagascar, followed by its sequels Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa,&nbsp;Madagascar 3: Europe&#39;s Most Wanted, and&nbsp;the spinoff&nbsp;Penguins of Madagascar, the creators managed to sneak in a few almost-hidden details you probably missed.

Film fans with eagle eyes, however, noticed a few things you probably missed the first, second, or even third time around.

Given how many food fights break out in film, you&#39;d think they&#39;d occur more regularly in real life. In that way, they&#39;re like neighbors that never knock or concussions that leave no lasting injuries: enduring film and TV tropes that will simply never end.&nbsp;

Many filmic conflicts&nbsp; begin the same way: <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-dinner-scenes-in-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">characters will be having a pleasant meal</a>&nbsp;together, someone will lob an entree, or pie, and after a moment of surprise, someone else will scream, &quot;FOOD FIGHT!&quot; Hook&#39;s food fight,&nbsp;Animal House&#39;s food fight, and even&nbsp;Bratz&#39;s food fight all follow these conventions. And it looks like the actors have a blast doing it.

The Most Underrated Quotes From 'The Office'

Quotation

Catwoman (DC Comics)

Through the years on screens big and small, Catwoman&#39;s usually skintight black costume, no matter how much it covers&nbsp;(which in the case of Catwoman&#39;s Halle&nbsp;Berry is not much), along with her accessories, manages&nbsp;to reveal&nbsp;her body, mind, and spirit, just as the character&#39;s ensemble does&nbsp;in the DC Comics. The Catwoman costume history suggests that from the original Catwoman&nbsp;attire in the 1960s TV series Batman, through the spinoff shows and films that followed, the character&#39;s slinky suits, tail, and masks reflect&nbsp;her sleek, slippery, femme fatale persona - and profession as a cat&nbsp;burglar and Batman&#39;s sometimes nemesis.

The talented&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actresses-who-played-catwoman/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">actresses who&#39;ve portrayed Catwoman</a>&nbsp;in live-action films and on TV - Lee Meriwether (Batman: The Movie), Julie Newmar (Batman TV series), Eartha Kitt (Batman TV series), Halle Berry (Catwoman), Michelle Pfeiffer (Batman Returns), Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises), Camren Bicondova (Gotham), Lili Simmons (Gotham), and Casey Elizabeth Easlick (Birds of Prey&nbsp;TV series)&nbsp;- have all worn the character&#39;s attire well, whether it&#39;s Newmar&#39;s strategically placed belt, Pfeiffer&#39;s full head mask and self-stitched suit, Hatheway&#39;s stilettos with serrated edges, or even&nbsp;Berry&#39;s barely there but industrial-strength&nbsp;bra.&nbsp;&nbsp;

And although every Catwoman had memorable pointy ears, only Hathaway&#39;s served a real purpose: they could turn into night goggles.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Joker first appeared in the debut issue of Batman in 1940. He has been wreaking havoc throughout the universe of DC Comics ever since.

Joker: Gotham's Nightmare

Joker (DC Villain)

On-screen live-action costumes for DC Comics&#39; the&nbsp;Joker have been as varied as his backstories and the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-joker-actors/ranker-entertainment" target="_blank">actors who have played him</a>. But certain sartorial and style aspects of Batman&#39;s nemesis are unmistakable: the wild hair (usually green), the pasty painted white face, the bright-colored suit (from Cesar Romero&#39;s 1960s original Joker costume in slick purple, to Joaquin Phoenix&#39;s 2019 red duds), and the ruby lips distorted into a demented smile.

A lot of thought went into these live-action Clown Prince of Crime ensembles.&nbsp;Lindy Hemming, for example, who designed the costumes for Christopher Nolan&#39;s&nbsp;Batman&nbsp;trilogy, including the look for Heath Ledger&#39;s Joker, told <a href="https://darkknightnews.com/2018/02/23/dkn-exclusive-interview-lindy-hemming-costume-designer-dark-knight-trilogy-wonder-woman/" target="_blank">Dark Knight News</a>: &quot;A joker or jester is a medieval character. An entertainer for the courts, and for the masses. I tried to base our Joker on a rock star, who is probably our modern-day equivalent.&quot;

Mark Bridges, costume designer for Phoenix&#39;s 2019 red-jacket Joker, told <a href="https://www.inverse.com/article/60087-joker-costume-designer-interview-mark-bridges" target="_blank">Inverse</a>: &quot;I think it was written in the script that [the color for the suit]&nbsp;was terracotta. But I felt like a more 1980s color was maroon and terracotta is more typical &#39;70s. And it&rsquo;s not as strong. I think that reds are always more expressive. I think reds always communicate more emotion.&quot;&nbsp;

And although not everyone was thrilled about Jared Leto&#39;s brief stint as the character in Suicide Squad, a non-clothing part of his ensemble perhaps encapsulated the Joker&#39;s essence most perfectly: the word tattooed on his forehead,&nbsp;&quot;Damaged.&quot;

The girls in the Harry Potter movies are the best! They are some of the best characters in books and movies and they 100 times over deserve to be on the top of this list of the best <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/harry-potter-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Harry Potter characters</a>.

The finest Thanksgiving movies offer a welcome respite for anyone looking to escape the madness of the holiday. TV on Thanksgiving is mostly parades and football, but there are films with Turkey Day themes that fit. That's what this list is about: Thanksgiving films everyone can enjoy. Some are dramas and some are more family-oriented, but each movie on this list is either about Thanksgiving. Even if they're not about the holiday, they at least contain a classic Thanksgiving scene or two.Thanksgiving movies aren't nearly as plentiful as oh, say, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-christmas-movies-of-all-time">heartwarming Christmas movies </a>(or <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-halloween-movies-for-kids/ranker-film">Halloween movies for kids</a>, for that matter) but there are options. Some of the best include the always hilarious Planes, Trains and Automobiles, the Jodie Foster-directed Home for the Holidays, the super-heavy drama The Ice Storm, and even Addams Family Values, which throws down against the hypocrisy of Thanksgiving.

What are some of the strange things you've done on Ambien? Oh, come on, fess up now. We've all been there. Obviously no one should ever take an Ambien and then drive or do anything else that's potentially very, very dangerous. But some of us (ahem) have done some really freaky (and really funny) stuff while under the influence. That's what this list is about. Feel free to add any and all of the strange and hilarious things you've done on Ambien (that you can remember, of course). The thing about Ambien is, people often don't remember what they've done until they see evidence of it. I'm sure at some point I'll remember making this list, for example. I hope so. Some of the funniest and strangest things I've heard of that people have done on Ambien often involve food. Inhibitions get lowered and the diet goes right out the window. The next day, people are faced with the evidence: Half-eaten apple cores (hey, at least that's healthy!), empty cans of Spaghetti-Os, candy bar wrappers, open jars of olives/pickles/whatever else was in the side shelf, peanut butter, you name it. The aftermath of an Ambien food binge can be alarming, and really messy.Other bizarre things that some people (ahem) have done on Ambien include: watching horrible TV shows on Netflix, whole seasons of them, and then not remembering it until they see their "Recently Watched" lists, calling friends just to chat (in the middle of the night), downloading horrible books/movies/songs and certainly purchasing things on eBay. It really is like Christmas when the packages start arriving!So yes, it's time to come clean about the strangest things you've ever done after you've taken an Ambien (or a Lunesta, or any other kind of sleep aid). Sleep doesn't count, though that's definitely what all of us *should* be doing instead of oh, I don't know, applying for jobs, signing up for self defense classes, doing our taxes and Facebooking our exes.
