The Top Ten

2 Bugs Bunny Bugs Bunny is an animated cartoon character, created by the staff of Leon Schlesinger Productions (later Warner Bros.) He is one of (if not) the most famous cartoon characters, and he is in the show Looney Tunes. His famous quote is "What's up doc?". He is a gray colored bunny with big teeth and big feet.

In terms of being iconic, nobody can compete with Bugs.

Bender is the coolest character in Futurama. Bite my red hot glowing shiny metal ass!

4 Homer Simpson Homer Jay Simpson is the main protagonist of the American animated television series The Simpsons as the patriarch of the eponymous family.

Homer J. Simpson. The J stands for Jay. That's why we love Homer Simpson. He's the American everyman.

12 Donald Duck Donald Duck is a cartoon character created in 1934 at Walt Disney Productions. Donald is an anthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He typically wears a sailor shirt and cap with a bow tie.

Much more iconic and famous than the likes of "Minnie Mouse", "Porky Pid", "Taz", and (I can't believe is even in the top 10) "Tweety". And he deserves to be in the Top 5. HANDS DOWN!
