The Simpsons


              This lovely family in Springfield always has something interesting going on in their lives. Whether it be Homer injuring himself, Bart playing a hurtful prank, or Lisa showing off her saxophone skills. Homer is the dad in the family, however seems to be the least responsible. On several occasions Homer has severely injured himself to the point it's a surprise he still remains alive. Bart has always been the antagonist, and enjoys humiliating others. It is very often that Bart sets Homer up to be hurt or humiliated. Lisa (oldest daughter) is the "good kid". She most often does what is right, gets good marks in school, and is adored by adults.

The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club


         This is one of my favorite movies of the 80's. It's about 4 students at the same high school who get in trouble and have to stay in detention Saturday morning. Each one of the students are different and pertain to different "cliques". John (top left) is the stereotypical bad kid that has drugs and always seems to do the wrong thing. Claire (bottom right) is the "rich girl" that has it easy in school because everyone  treats her like royalty. Andrew (top right) is the stereotypical "jock" that is on the wrestling team and would never hang out with this group. Brian (center) is known for being a "Geek" or "Loser", has little friends and the ones that are his friends are of the same social status. Finally Allison (bottom left) is a "basket case" and seems to be very weird and is a pathilogical liar. Through the entire movie these teenagers have arguments with each other as they begin to learn more about each other. By the end of the movie they all become friends, but the friendship ends the moment they leave detention, because nobody else at school would understand it. They just promised to always remember each other.

Seinfeld


          This popular show from the 90's is called "Seinfeld". It stars comedian Jerry Seinfeld with his three friends in New York and depicts all the antics they get into. In this show the characters have so many relationships with unimportant one-time characters, that you can't even begin to count. The reason these friends have had so many relationships is because they always manage to find one small insignificant flaw in a persons personality, and they can't get passed it. They have ran into so many situations where someone has caused them into a small inconvenience and they can't let it go; they will continue to fixate on this one small discrepancy until it blows up on them, leaving them with less dignity than they had before. Kramer (top right) is the only one that meanwhile being a goof, still manages to have things work out for him (mostly).

South Park

            You must have heard of this show before, because if you haven't, you must live under a rock. This is the hilarious t.v. show called "South Park". It stars four young boys in South Park Colorado that get into very tough situations in their seemingly small quiet mountain town.

This guy on the left is Eric Cartman. Cartman doesn't have and cannot understand the concept of morals. Cartman is always thinking of himself and has no problem with doing things that are considered morally wrong. Most people would say he doesn't have a conscience, and the only thing holding him back is his fear of some consequences.
There have been many situations when Eric would be considered evil. One example being when he tried to rally a group of supporters for "The Passion" (movie) and turn them into Nazis.
This boy on the right is Kenny. Kenny always has his big orange coat on (except for rare occasions in a few episodes) which blocks nearly everything he is saying. The audience cannot understand his sentences, however the characters in the show can. Kenny is most iconic for dying on numerous occasions and somehow coming back to life in the next episode alive with no explanation. Whenever Kenny does die, it is followed with Stan saying "Dude! You killed Kenny!", followed by Kyle saying "You Bastards!". The creators of the show made a funny episode when Kenny died and all the characters were sad for him, which brought irony to all  of his seemingly unimportant deaths. At this point they left Kenny dead for many episodes until he was brought back again later in the season.
