FortuneCookie 07/19/20 10:53:29 AM #1:	Puss in Boots from the Shreck series began as a parody of Antonio Banderas's role in the Zorro movies. He's since gone on to have more appearances and, by Antonio's own admission, is the character people most associate him with when they see him or meet him. Weird Al Yankovic's White & Nerdy was more popular than Chamillionaire's Ridin'. A bit of an inversion, Dr. Hibbert from The Simpsons became more popular than Bill Cosby when Cosby's popularity justifiably imploded after details about his personal life came out.
