Young Michael Scott Shaking Hands from The Office
In The Office episode “The Carpet”, Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) reflects on being a friendly boss with his staff, and then reminisces about his old boss Ed Truck who was no-nonsense and no fun. The camera flashes to an old Dunder Mifflin staff newsletter photo where a young Michael Scott — mullet, fanny pack, and all — is shaking hands with Ed after receiving top sales honors.
Joker from Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
In Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, it’s the year 2040 and Bruce Wayne has retired from crime-fighting, passing on the mantle of Batman to high schooler Terry McGinnis. This is when Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill) resurfaces in Neo-Gotham City, taking over the Jokerz gang and going on a crime spree.
Jared Dunn from Silicon Valley
In Silicon Valley, Donald “Jared” Dunn (Zach Woods) jumped ship from Hooli to join Richard Hendricks at his startup Pied Piper. He’s Richard’s right-hand man, keeping everything in order, although Jared’s outbursts now and then hint at a much more chaotic and darker past. Any fleece vest will do, but go with Patagonia if you want full authenticity.

In Daybreak, Josh Wheeler (Colin Ford) is the leader of the Daybreakers. He forms the group while searching for his girlfriend Sam in the months following the explosion, making the Glendale Mall their home base. Surviving the apocalypse teaches him that he’s not an ordinary kid, but rather the hero he’s always read about in his comic books.
Freddie Mercury from Live Aid

Joker from Batman: The Animated Series

Joe Gardner from Soul
In Pixar’s Soul, Joe Gardner (voiced by Jamie Foxx) is a middle school music teacher who has a lifelong dream of being an onstage jazz performer. It looks like he’ll finally get his big break when he impresses other jazz musicians as an opening act when he has an accident, which causes his soul to separate from his body to get transported to the You Seminar, where he must help souls develop passions before being transported to newborns. Joe’s costume is drab and not too flashy, although his stylish hat hints at the passion brimming underneath.
