Twenty Five 'Misters' from Pop Culture

gunaxin.com — Being called ‘Mister’ is a badge of honor worn exclusively by those who truly deserve it. Whether you are a mascot, a person who’d rather remain anonymous, or even a toy, if you’ve earned the title, ‘Mr.’, you, my friend, are in the upper echelon of men.

  • analogkid01, on 10/14/2009, -0/+2Joe: "Here are your names: Mr. Brown. Mr. White. Mr. Blond. Mr. Blue. Mr. Orange. Mr. Pink."
    Mr. Pink: "Why am I Mr. Pink??"
    Joe: "Because you're a *******, all right?"
    Mr. Pink: "Why can't we pick our own colors?"
    Joe: "No way. No way. Tried it once, doesn't work. You got four guys all fighting over who's going to be Mr. Black. But they don't know each other, so nobody wants to back down. No way. I pick. You're Mr. Pink. Be thankful you're not Mr. Yellow."
    Mr. Brown: "Y-yeah, but Mr. Brown, that's a little too close to Mr. *****."
    Mr. Pink: "Mr. Pink sounds like Mr. Pussy! How 'bout if I'm Mr. Purple? That sounds good to me - I'll be Mr. Purple."
    Joe: "You're not Mr. Purple. Some guy on some other job is Mr. Purple. You're Mr. PINK!"
    Mr. White: "Who cares what your name is?"
    Mr. Pink: "Yeah, that's easy for you to say. You're Mr. White, you have a cool-sounding name. All right, look, if it's no big deal to be Mr. Pink, you wanna trade?"
    Joe: "Hey...nobody's trading with anybody. This ain't a goddamn *****' city council meeting, you know. Now listen up, Mr. Pink. There's two ways you can go on this job: my way or the highway. Now what's it gonna be, Mr. Pink?"
    Mr. Pink: "Jesus Christ, Joe, *****' forget about it...it's beneath me, you know? I'm Mr. Pink...let's move on."
    Joe: "I'll move on when I feel like it. You got the goddamn message? I get so goddamn mad hollerin' at you guys I can hardly talk. Let's go to work."

  • serif69, on 10/13/2009, -0/+2I was fully prepared to bury for not including Mr. Mister, but there it is. And now, I shall get "Kyrie" stuck in your head.

    KYRIE ELEISON DOWN THE ROAD THAT I MUST TRAVEL
    KYRIE ELEISON THROUGH THE DARKNESS OF THE NIYIYIYIGHT
    KYRIE ELEISON WHERE I'M GOING WILL YOU FOLLOW
    KYRIE ELEISON ON A HIGHWAY IN THE LIYIYIYIGHT

And me, I can stretch my body like rubber so we'll call me Mr. Fantastic.
  • lapointecharles, on 10/12/2009, -3/+2Mr. Potato Head can kick Mr. T's Ass any day!
  • inactive, on 10/13/2009, -2/+1Misleading, Mick Foley got the Mr. Socko idea from Beavis and Butthead/Mike Judge
  • rblancarte, on 10/13/2009, -18/+1Um, how about no.

    The dictionary definition of Popular Culture is "contemporary lifestyle and items that are well known and generally accepted, cultural patterns that are widespread within a population"

    There are very few things on this list that I would consider well known/generally accepted, here is my take on the list - no particular order:

    Mr. Mxyzptlk - Mister Sinister - Mr. Fantastic - Mr. (Joe) Fixit - Sure Mr Fantastic was in the Fantastic Four movie, but comic books, out side of a few big name characters are not well known. The other 3 are obscure (well Mr Fixit is Hulk, but his alter ego, hell, I collect comics and barely know about this character)

    Mr Mouth - HUH? Never even heard of this game. Hungry Hungry Hippos, sure. Connect Four, sure. This? No.

    Mr. Bean - British comedy, widely accepted in Britian, not so much in the US

    Mr. Socko - out side of Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant and The Rock, wrestling is not mainstream. Mick Foley was on the fringe, but Socko? Nah

    Mr. Salty - Mr. Pibb - Mr. Coffee - Mr. Clean - Mr. Bubble - Mr. Peanut - Logos, these are very much in the public eye, especially Mr Clean and Mr Peanut.

    That leaves the ones that I would call contemporary, which I broke down to 2 categories:
    Mr. Incredible - Mr. October - Mr. Wizard - Mr. Ed - Mr. Rogers - Mr. Spock - Mr. Potato Head - Mr. T - VERY mainstream, easily recognizable AND identifiable. People would see them and know exactly who they are.

    Mr. Magoo - The Mr. Men Series - Mr. Mister - Mr. Belvedere - Fringe mainstream. Show a picture to someone and they would probably say, "Oh yea, that's ... ?"
