In Character

Darth Vader: Vader was one of the most sinister villains to go on the big screen, and is still known by most people for his deep, raspy voice through the known mask. Vader was so fascinating at that time period because it was something that no one had experienced in a movie theater. He was one of the most important parts of the series and to the fans who obsess over Star Wars.

Eric Cartman: Cartman is a well known character throughout the world for his explicit outbreaks and crude acts on the show South Park. With characters like him, the creators seen to use him for telling their feelings on different subjects or celebrities. I seem to think why Eric is such known attribute to the show is because he is such an antagonist in each episode. Some people love the fact that this character is speaking about real politics and real events, which lets the viewer relate to the show and to Cartman himself.

Peter Griffin, from the show Family Guy, is one of my personal favorite characters on TV because of his sheer stupidity and sense of humor. He is an important asset to the young culture by performing immature acts and profane gestures that bring attentions to how the real world is. An example would be one episode where Peter and Brian (his dog) go back in time and changes the real life. Along with politics and television shows. When they begin talking, they realize that Gore had became president rather then Bush. How Gore cured cancer and crime rates have dramatically plummeted since Bush's resignation. Peter is important to our culture because he expresses what the creator is thinking, and is completely correct.
