Talk:Upcoming ERB suggestions/@comment-25702350-20141201190335/@comment-26209006-20141201192526

If you asked a person on a street, they're more likely to know Napoleon Dynamite rather than Rick Grimes. 17.3 million compared to the 316.1 million people living in the united states (from 2013, likely to have increased), and Napoleon Dynamite was released worldwide. Goku is popular in both Japan, America, and many, many other countries. 17.3 million people isn't even remotely high when talking about the population or people who know others.

I can, very easily, say that I had no idea who Rick Grimes was until ERB, but that's just me.

TV Shows are much more obscure than movies, so it's very, very safe to say Rick Grimes is the most obscure character ERB used.
