   Dash Baxter
2. Samurai Jack
   Stickybeard

Remember "Codename: Kids Next Door?" Stickybeard is their biggest enemy because he's thirsty for their candy. His arch-nemesis is Numbuh Five, although he respects her enough to offer her a job. Needless to say, she dips out on that!

   Miss Martin
2. Candy Barbarian
   Marceline the Vampire Queen

Remember the "Clifford" books, about a big red dog the size of a house? Well, there's also a Clifford cartoon — PBS aired it between 2000 and 2003. It was about Clifford and his owner, Emily Elizabeth, a girl whose love transformed Clifford from undersized to dummy enormous!

1. Dave Barbarian
   Ron Stoppable
2. T-Bone
   Grim

"The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy" had no more relatable character than Grim, a grim reaper who's forced to be best friends with two odd little kids. Because they won a bet with him, he's forced to put up with their nonsense, but that doesn't stop him from being hilariously savage.

   Dee Dee
2. Kuki Sanban
   Candy Barbarian

On "Dexter's Lab," an Emmy-winning cartoon that ran on Cartoon Network from 1996 to 2003, Dee Dee is Dexter's older sister. A heckin' curious ballet dancer, Dee Dee messes up many of Dexter's experiments. She doesn't do it on purpose; it's just that she's a normal kid while Dexter can't stop adulting.

1. Alice Bridgette Nimbletoes
   Emily Elizabeth Howard
2. Kim Possible
   Marceline the Vampire Queen

A Disney show from the 2000s, "Kim Possible" was all about Kimberly Ann Possible, a high-school kid who spends her free time saving the world. She's helped (and sometimes hindered) by her sidekick Ron Stoppable, a cutie who's unfortunately mediocre.

   Ashley Spinelli
2. Kim Possible
   Marceline the Vampire Queen

1. Monkey Fist
   Shaggy
2. Fred
   Ralph Wiggum

Generations of kids know who hippie Shaggy is because "Scooby-Doo" shows have been in production since 1969. Baby Boomers know him from the original series, while younger kids know him from "Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!," which ended in 2018. Wherever you know him from, Shaggy is relatable as heck!

1. Miss Martin
   Candy Barbarian
2. Dee Dee
   Emily Elizabeth Howard

Were you a little in love with your pre-school teacher? If she was anything like Miss Martin, we bet so! On "Caillou," Miss Martin is a lovely and cheerful pre-school teacher. Since she works with kids, she gets to wear overalls every day. Can you say #goals?

   Dash Baxter
2. Morty Smith
   Tommy Pickles

Chuckie Finster, a redheaded lil imp, is Tommy Pickles' best friend. Together, they're the main characters of "Rugrats," which follows their post-punk baby adventures. Although Chuckie usually thinks Tommy's ideas are bad, he goes along with them anyway. (We can relate!)

1. Dash Baxter
   Reaper
2. The Crimson Chin
   Donnie Thornberry

Dash Baxter is a villain from "Danny Phantom." He bullies Danny and the other students but gets away with it because he's good at football. However, he's sort of tragic because he seems to know that his high school years will be the best ones of his life. Sad!

1. Susie Carmichael
   Alice Bridgette Nimbletoes
2. Sam Manson
   Kim Possible

One of the best characters on "Rugrats," Susie protected the younger kids from Angelica, one of the show's main villains. Angelica's bullying never slowed Susie down. Smart, talented and multi-lingual, Susie has many friends and few enemies.

   Didi Pickles
2. Candy Barbarian
   Kim Possible

"Dave the Barbarian" ran on the Disney Channel in the early 2000s. One of its most fire characters was Candy the Barbarian, a Valley Girl who can't even. She's great at fighting monsters but would rather be shopping.

1. Alice Bridgette Nimbletoes
   Ashley Spinelli
2. Marceline the Vampire Queen
   Didi Pickles

Tommy and Dil's mom on "Rugrats," Didi is a low-key icon. Her style is fresh, she holds down a job as a Home Economics teacher and she's a loving, conscientious mother. We're impressed!

2. Kimiko Tohomiko
   Velma

A young monk who becomes a Xiaolin Warrior, Kimiko Tohomiko is currently the Xiaolin Dragon of Fire. Bae and brave, she's kind but also has a hot temper. Don't sleep on Kimiko — she may be short, but she's dangerous!

1. Kevin Levin
   Stickybeard
2. Rick Sanchez
   Mr. Burns

Oh, Rick. There would be no "Rick and Morty" without mean grandpa Rick Sanchez, and yet he's difficult-AF to like. Rude to his daughter as well as his grandchildren, Rick is A LOT. On the other hand, he does know how to bend space and time, so ... props?

1. The Crimson Chin
   Rick Sanchez
2. Samurai Jack
   Dave Barbarian

Although he's a war prince, Dave (of "Dave the Barbarian) is a lover, not a fighter. Tremendously powerful, he'd rather cook or do crafts than engage in battle, since he's very sensitive to pain. My dude, we can relate!

1. Morty Smith
   Dash Baxter
2. T.J. Detweiler
   Donnie Thornberry

One of the main characters on "The Wild Thornberrys," Donnie was raised by orangutans after his parents were killed by poachers. Even though he lives with humans now, he's still majorly high-key. Reminds us of our brothers!

1. Boris Kropotkin
   Mr. Burns
2. Stickybeard
   Rick Sanchez

Mr. Burns might be the most dangerous Big Bad on "The Simpsons," if it weren't for his hilarious weakness. Without his assistant Smithers' help, could he even cross the street? Nonetheless, we stan the time that Mr. Burns got booed but Smithers told him that the crowd was actually saying "boo-urns."

1. Sokka
   Aang
2. Jake Long
   Benjamin Kirby Tennyson

The Nickelodeon series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is full of memorable characters. One of the best of them is Sokka, a warrior and master strategist who lacks magic. Hilarious and practical, he's definitely #boyfriendgoals.

2. Emily Elizabeth Howard
   Prunella

D.W. Read is Arthur's little sister. Like all the aardvarks on "Arthur," she has a human appearance. Because she hates her full name, she forces everyone to call her by her initials. As she's fond of singing songs over and over again, she drives Arthur crazy, but we stan.

1. Dash Baxter
   T.J. Detweiler
2. Samurai Jack
   Ralph Wiggum

"The Simpsons" wouldn't be "The Simpsons" without Ralph Wiggum, son of Police Chief Clandy. Hopelessly dorky, Ralph is famous for his amazingly daft catchphrases, such as "Me fail English? That’s unpossible" and "Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a Viking."

1. T.J. Detweiler
   Donnie Thornberry
2. Morty Smith
   Tommy Pickles

Morty (of "Rick and Morty") has gone on a hecking wild journey. At the beginning of "Rick and Morty," he's an innocent high school freshman, easily manipulated by the brilliant Rick.

1. American Dragon
   Robin
2. Beast Boy
   Zuko

Garfield Mark Logan of "Teen Titans" is known as Beast Boy because he can turn into any animal. Although he fights crime when he has to, he'd rather be sleeping or eating. Same, Beast Boy!

1. Marceline the Vampire Queen
   Ashley Spinelli
2. Kuki Sanban
   Dee Dee

Hailing from "Adventure Time," Marceline the Vampire Queen is a kinder, gentler vampire than you might be used to. Instead of drinking blood, she eats the color red. Passionate about music, she plays the electric bass.

1. Alice Bridgette Nimbletoes!
   Ashley Spinelli!
2. Marceline the Vampire Queen!
   Prunella Deegan!

Prunella Deegan is a poodle from "Arthur," a PBS cartoon that's been on the air since 1996! Prunella is a poodle who goes to school with Arthur. Although she's in fourth grade, most of her friends are third-graders, perhaps because she's kind of a Felicia.

   Morty Smith
2. T.J. Detweiler

Sideshow Mel (of "The Simpsons" fame) is Sideshow Bob's replacement. After Sideshow Bob got caught framing Krusty the Clown and was sent to jail, Sideshow Mel took over as Krusty's sidekick. Educated at Cornell, Mel is overqualified for his position, which makes him bitter AF (is he a millennial?).

1. Ashley Spinelli
   Tico
2. Kuki Sanban
   Samurai Jack

A character from "Codename: Kids Next Door," Kuki Sanban is also known as Numbuh 3. Her low-key nature is surprising, given that she is a powerful operative with firebending powers.

1. Alice Bridgette Nimbletoes
   Angelina Mouseling
2. Prunella
   D.W.

Like all dancers, this lil mouse can be messy, but Angelina Mouseling is overall a delight! The star of British cartoon "Angelina Ballerina," she strives for success in the world of ballet, alongside her friends Alice Nimbletoes and William Longtail.
