We all watched our fair share of cartoons growing up, but now, as college students, we find ourselves just talking about how great these shows used to be. Whether you were a Disney kid, Nickelodeon fan, or Cartoon Network junkie, you probably had that one character you idolized and always tried to be. You may have have binge watched "Hey Arnold" or just casually watched "Recess" after running up the driveway when the bus driver dropped you off from school. With many of our 21st birthdays coming up, or some shortly passed, I have compiled a short list of the top five cartoon characters who would be likely to show up to the party and turn down for absolutely nothing.
5. Otto Rocket
This champ did it all: anything on wheels or water was mastered by Otto. Though skateboarding isn’t necessarily a good way to meet chicks in college, the kid had some serious swag as a middle schooler! Imagine what ten more years of learning from Raymundo would have done to his game! Impeccable! I'd take bets that this kid could charm the shirt off of Mona Lisa herself. Put Otto on the top of your guest list, girls will surely follow.
4. Donnie Thornberry
Donnie Thornberry is wild, so wild the show should have just been named Wild Donnie. Give this kid a bottle of goose; forget the Redbull and vodka, he’s already so hype the poor kid should be tied down. Donnie is the type of kid who, if you chant his name, he will jump off the roof through a table of nails just to get the party hype. He is literally the epitome of a party animal. Who wouldn’t want to have this kid on their Snap story?
3. Johnny Bravo
So we all have that one guy in our group that will say just about anything to anyone, and this guy does just that. Whether he’s spitting game at every girl that catches his eye, or ensuring that he has just the right amount of hair gel to wow the crowd, he's always trying to impress. With a bigger build, he might be just the type of guy that your Case Race team needs, or the anchor for your flip cup team.
2. Peter Griffin
Peter showcases his drinking abilities in almost every episode, whether he's already drunk or talking about it. He’s the only character (other than the next guy on the list) to be known in the cartoon series as an open alcoholic. Peter is the type of guy to be found hyping up other guys to do harmful drunken stunts like dunking the pong ball off a 10-foot ladder. Peter could easily drink circles around anyone in your crew and keep a steady stance, securing his spot at number two on the list.
1. Homer Simpson
Homer is known as the biggest alcoholic in the history of animation TV. It is actually more rare to find an episode where this man is sober. If I were in charge of the fraternity guest list, Homer Simpson would be on the list every time. Homer is like the uncle at every wedding who has been sneaking you beer since before puberty just to make sure you were ready for high school Friday nights. Who wouldn't love to watch this guy drunkenly throw insults to outsiders who try to come into your party? Homer is an easy lock at number one.
Now that you have a list of the top five cartoons to invite to a party, you can drink a few and dream that this were a true possibility. Whether you’re a weekend drinker or a nightly bar star, these guys would be a great addition to any group. So drink up, keep grinding and may dollar nights forever be in your favor.
