Pop Culture's Top 5 Fictional Mayors

cracked.com — Who among us hasn't found themselves in the voting booth wishing that instead of choosing between interchangeable mayoral candidates who want to "improve our school," the choice was between a talking hamburger and the guy who played Batman in the sixties?

  • lexf, on 10/10/2007, -20/+9Dugg because the list mercifully didn't included John Mayer, who while obviously not technically a "mayor," would be much better off if he were fictional.
    • FlintJ, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1Amen.
    • unicronband, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18I wish Giulianni were fictional.
    • Konstantino, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4Buried for being completely irrelevant.
    • Kauzman01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1So far, the burying seems to look as tho people don't mind John Mayer.
  • CaptainNoPants, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Hey baby, you wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
  • thegreeneyedkri, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I'd vote for the pro pickle platform anytime.

    Vote Mayor!
  • Smiley09, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I never knew Haggar was mayor. Then again I was around 10, more concerned about putting quarters in the machine to continue than reading some scrolling text giving me a background story before I actually started the game, and it didn't/doesn't help that I was/am illiterate.
  • Scrappy1850, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I was NOT expecting that. piledriving politicians FTW. Haggar was much better than those two skinny ***** anyway.
    • crackedplastic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2But not much better than his Russian doppelganger, Zangief.
    • kevin45, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Well unless you had the rare Final Fight on Sega CD, I don't think Guy was available anywhere but the arcade.
      • IndigoMoss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I'm not going to digg you down, but he was actually available in Final Fight Guy and Final Fight 3 for the SNES. My personal favorite is Final Fight 3 from the series, Dean ftw!
  • Piedramente, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Hamburger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • doig007, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2What about Mayor Larry Vaughn from Jaws? He's one of the few politicians -- real or fictional -- to have the guts to stand up for what he thought was right against the hysteria of the crowds. (Yes, he was wrong, but surely the chances of shark attack on Amity weren't much more than those for an alien invasion.)
    • Hunterville, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2See what happens when you worry more about tourism dollars than the safety of your children. That's right Robert Shaw dies and you have to listen Richard Dreyfuss do a ***** W.C. Fields impression.
      • Hunterville, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I don't have to take this abuse very much longer.
  • Bigspike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Mayor Quimby is/was the shia
  • quickdickdean, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Dugg because Cracked finally managed to put something on one page.
  • lalanis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Adam Weeeeest...Adam Weeeest!
    I'll come out when they are all gone!
  • Nougat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5"... as well as the rise of the insidious "Chicken Fries," which stand as an affront to both God and Man."

    QFT
  • khorbin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Oops... I shouldn't type without thinking. Comment withdrawn.
  • lita16, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Before I clicked on it the first thought that came into my head was the mayor from Buffy, althought Mayor Quimby and Mayor West makes sense too.
  • rspeed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Because Mayor McCheese isn't nearly as cool as Big Mac...

    Steve-Dave: Will this administration ever bring the Hamburglar to justice?
    Big Mac: No... Yes. Look, does anybody have any questions about the virus that could kill us all?
    Reporter: Can the virus kill the Grimace?
    Big Mac: Nothing can kill the Grimace. All right, we're done here.
  • volitor8555, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Anyone remember the mayor from Doug. They guy that always said Vote for Me.
  • busby2, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0The Mayor from Tom Goes to the Mayor isn't on the list? For shame.
    • DangerMouse9, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0You think he's as well known as the others on the list?
    • Nerevar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That show is so ***** dumb
  • zubaz91, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3dugg for final fight reference +awesome video
  • pipedreambomb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Bah, I only clicked on the article because I thought it would have to include the mayor in Spin City, I miss that show.
  • ace386, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Pretty good list, all I'd change is Quimby to #1 and West to #2 "my, good, chum...."
  • Mearn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1No Mayor from Doug? :(
  • jmdajr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1hahah. I was actually thinking about Hagger when I clicked the list, and he was number 1! (lol)
  • Homunculiheaded, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I can't wait until cracked puts out the top 7 esoteric lists list.
  • ImOscar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2When there's a tie for third the next place is not 2nd, it's 1st. These are the top 6 mayors.
    • thegoldenavatar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Wrong. When there's a tie for 3rd the next place is 2nd, the previous becomes 5th. You can't have 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th but you can have 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th.
  • lostmongoose, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2wtf? Mayor C. Randall Poopenmayer not on the last? it's an outrage!
  • mstachiw, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0where's Mayor Vaughn from Jaws?
  • DangerMouse9, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The Noid isn't an obscure pop culture reference. If you watched TV at all during the 80s (in the US) you'd have come across the lil' feller from Domino's. They also had a crappy NES game made starring him.

    For the rest of you here's the list:
    5) Adam West (Family Guy)
    4) Mayor McCheese
    3) The Mayor (Powerpuff girls) *TIE*
    3) The Mayor from Buffy the getting laid slayer *TIE*
    2) "Diamond" Joe Quimby (Simpsons)
    1) Haggar (Final Fight)
  • Nickface, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Vote for Mike Haggar in 2008!
  • cyberwiz01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3No Mayor Goldie Wilson? Buried.
  • weakinduhknees, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1who gives a *****
  • SwedishNinja, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2What? No Mayor Milo Minderbinder?

    Uncultured swine! *scoffs*
  • Slayerdude51982, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0This could of easily made a top 10 list and not just 5, but no surprise Joe Quimby is on there at number 2, my pick for number 1 actualy lol. I'm really happy though to see Richard Wilkins III, he was one of the best things on during season three, along with Eliza Dushku....So hot! Anyways his quirkiness made me laugh all the time. Wish they would of used a better clip though.
  • MrTulip, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1srsly: why not make an extra "last page"-frontpage where all the "funny" stuff and all those offbeat news and five year old internet memes go? not to forget the top whatever lists.

    because that article is everything but news. it's not even interesting or anything...

    tulip
  • wraithlabs, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0ADAM WEST consider it dugg btw mayoradamwest.com (shameless plus)
  • Cyberen, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Not included: The sinister Mayor from Action League: NOW!
    I consider him funnier than Adam West because it isn't just a blatant cameo forcing out non-sequitirs.
  • z008, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Vote Wilkins, why take the lesser evil?
  • mandarin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This is..... stupid...
  • csellyn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Don"t make a list cause you make a category. If so, how about small flat headed virgins with no gag reflex?
  • godzilla808, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1What about the Mayor from The Nightmare Before Christmas? "Jack, please, I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself!"
