Steve from Blue’s Clues
Steve Burns was the host of the hit children’s show Blue’s Clues. He’d help audiences solve puzzles using clues left behind by Blue – though he sure had a hard time finding the clues. In each episode he wore the same outfit, making his green striped rugby shirt just as memorable as his blue spotted companion.
22 Jump Street
Morton Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Greg Jenko (Channing Tatum) are back as a blundering cop team in 22 Jump Street. They are assigned to go undercover and this time they go back to college to track down a drug supplier. Not only does this mean they get to go back to fraternity parties and college girls but best of all, they get to back to spring break.
Sherri and Terri
Sherri and Terri are twin sisters in Mrs. Krabappel’s class that nobody, not even their parents, can tell apart. They like to give others, especially Bart Simpson, a hard time. Like many twins, they speak a secret language and wish they could combine into a single body.
Carrie “Big Boo” Black
Big Boo (Lea Delaria) is a tough-talking, crude, and sarcastic inmate in Orange is the New Black, who uses her size to intimidate other prisoners. Though she may act and look tough, she has a soft spot especially for her dog, Little Boo.
Carey Mahoney
Carey Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg) is a repeat offender who’s forced to join the police academy as punishment in the Police Academy film series. Though he mostly wears a police uniform, his first outfit is quite memorable, especially the short shorts.
Yvonne “Vee” Parker
Yvonne Parker (Lorraine Toussaint), better known as Vee, doesn’t let jail stop her from dealing drugs. She’s conniving and easily manipulates those around her into doing her dirty work. But when she doesn’t get what she wants, she has no problem getting physical – too bad Red didn’t learn this lesson the first time around.
John “Bluto” Blutarsky
John “Bluto” Blutarsky (John Belushi) plays a drunk, seventh year college student in National Lampoon’s Animal House. He’s famous for his impersonation of a popped zit but despite his antics he somehow ends up as a U.S. Senator.
David Wooderson
David Wooderson (Matthew McConaughey) is a 20-something-year-old who still hangs out with high schoolers in Dazed and Confused. But for him that’s “alright, alright, alright” because even though he gets older, the high school girls stay the same age.
Mr. Larson from Happy Gilmore
Mr. Larson (Richard Kiel) is an imposing character in Happy Gilmore not only because of his threatening T-shirts but also because of his ability to bend golf clubs with his bare hands. So Shooter McGavin shouldn’t take his threats idly especially when Mr. Larson tells him that “you can count on me waiting for you in the parking lot.”
Baywatch
Baywatch focused on the work and personal lives of the LA County Lifeguards. These lifeguards not only dealt with drowning swimmers and shark attacks but also dealt with serial killers and nuclear bombs. The show launched the careers of many actresses like Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra – their outfits probably had something to do with that too.
