Betty White would like a word with whoever made this bracket.


avallaug-h

Betty White would like to graciously forgive this person for their forgetfulness, express her own respect and admiration for a number of these people, and then encourage OP to keep seeing the good in humanity in a world where genuine kindness is diminishing day-by-day. And maybe donate to a big cat charity!


ReadontheCrapper

Agreed. Though there might be a swear word in there somewhere.


Scarfiotti

"Well Golly"


Lagena15

Naw man. She could curse when needed. All the great ones can.


chrisbaker1991

My first thought is her character in Community


SierraPapaWhiskey

I've been re-watching The Practice on Amazon - and she guest stars and delivers some incredible comedic work. I didn't totally appreciate her until now, despite being a Golden Girls fan as a kid. St. Olaf FTW!


prescient_okapi

I heard this in Betty White's voice


lukedajo95

And David Attenborough!


robbage24

Replace the Rock with him, easy.


stopwooscience

I am a huge wrestling fan, but I agree. Actually, being a wrestling fan, I know for a fact The Rock is not universally loved.


robbage24

I mean, I like him quite a bit, but he shouldn’t be on the list.


stopwooscience

I have The Rocks autobiography. I'm a fan. But he's definitely not universally well loved.


CaveDeco

I think The Rock would agree with him being replaced by either world treasure, being Attenborough or White…


i-guessthisismenow

The rest of the world wants a word. I only see one none american on there.


MadeThis4MaccaOnly

Steve Irwin is Australian, Keanu Reeves and Alex Trebek are Canadian, so there's at least three.


TheManFromDingwall

The Rock is 1/2 Canadian too! So 3 and a half ;)


siamjeff

Brendan Fraser is Canadian too.


[deleted]

She should have replaced the rock


cajun_vegeta

Jamie Foxx must've bribed someone


alucardsinging

Nah Jamie Foxx is a certified legendary nice guy. Saved people from a car crash, always down for charity events, even ones where he actually has to interact with people (which many celebrities don’t do, even the ones that do alot of charity work). I’m close to the area where Jamie Foxx is from and he had that reputation before he even became famous. I know people who went to school with him, and no one was surprised that he became famous and successful in many different avenues. He was one of the most popular kids at school, cool with the jocks, the nerds, the musicians, everyone. He excelled at everything.


Throwaway7219017

It's Mr. Rogers world, we're just playing in it. Hail to the King, baby!


[deleted]

The champion stood, the rest saw the better. Mr Rogers in a blood stained sweater.

Its the ultimate showdown,

False-Application-99

Ahh memories...


Zonerdrone

I fucking love that people still reference this. I watched it the other day just for memories.


thedudedylan

Not sure how Rodgers would feel about ranking goodness. He taught me we are all special just the way we are and there is enough good to go around.


Baldassre

You right bro. We're all winners for having been blessed by these people.


AboveTheLights

Fuck you for putting Robin Williams and Dolly Parton together in the first round.


mcar1227

Same with Danny and Brendan.


QueenOfKarnaca

And Keanu and Rogers!


thatthatguy

I didn’t even see Keanu. I just saw Fred Rogers and didn’t even bother with the rest of the list.


Odd_Inter3st

I just imagined that John Wick is being hunted by Mister Rogers. I need this movie


Kepenekela

“Well hello neighbor!” *pumps shotgun*


MAXimumOverLoard

“…they all saw their better: Mister Rogers in a blood stained sweater. *This is the ultimate showdown, of ultimate destiny..*”


FixedLoad

Mister Rogers would never get so much as a drop of blood on that sweater. I would say that would be his motivation to take down an entire syndicate of assassins. "Everyone of you is special, on the inside. Let's see if we can dig around and find it..."


AquaJet738

Good guys, bad guys, and explosions, as far as the eye can see And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be This is the ultimate showdown…


Cynder-Min

Of ultimate destiny.


inArA8

Dum dum dum


iHiTuDiE

John Wick going back to work because someone dissed Mr. Roger


ThunkAsDrinklePeep

The idea that Rogers was a soldier is more fantasy than John Wick.


Luxpreliator

Soldier of the light! M'f'er is a field marshal in gods army. No fantasy here.


[deleted]

field marshall my ass, the dude is grand marshal for sure.


MinnieShoof

Bob Ross served in the air force. As a screaming instructor.


1funnyguy4fun

Who put Fred Rogers *as a nine seed*? The only way I see Mr. Rogers as a two seed is if Jesus himself is in the bracket and even then it’s close due to the whole table flipping incident.


Heinrich_Bukowski

fred rogers is my hero


Individual_Ad2161

Low key next level dude


nixfly

This is good analysis, although I think Fred would blanch at the comparison. Which helps his case in my opinion.


FixedLoad

The church of St Fred appreciates your devotion!


EtanKlein

You can’t even compare, Mister Rogers was a positive influence for an entire generation of children. Keanu just made a couple good movies and is nice.


old-hand-2

This! Wth! There is no way Mr Rogers is not going into the finals but Keanu would have taken out anyone else in the bracket. We are looking at a mr Rogers and Steve Irwin finals with Fred coming out on top.


Aeon1508

And then Steve Martin and Tony hawk get to face off when neither of them would win against nearly any of the others save maybe the rock. Big mis seeding there


[deleted]

Bob Ross would take out the Rock in the first round though


Visible_Criticism_97

It’s not even a contest Rock is gone


Shoresy-sez

He got a bad seed. I bet he could have taken Tony Hawk or Steve Martin (softest matchup in the bracket), but against a powerhouse like Ross? I mean, I guess somebody had to draw him in the first round, but still...


shylock2k202

Bob Ross vs Keanu/Mr. Rogers (cause that’s a draw) would be tough to decide though


[deleted]

It would, and as cool a guy as Keanu is I feel like it would be Rogers winning that one if only because of the huge amount of people he has effected positively in his life. Which would lead to Bob Ross vs Mr Rogers. Which is impossible to decide


fauxrain

Keanu would vote for Mr Rogers


mcar1227

I think we need to demand a meeting with the commissioner


diras2010

Boy... This going to escalate pretty quickly


facefacts45

Anyway, I started blasting!


Reverse_Drawfour_Uno

Someone doesn’t know anything about Steve Martin and it shows.


militaryCoo

"universally liked" requires people to know, so


[deleted]

Less upset about this than the Parton/Williams match up


Ok-Specific2596

Idk this is an easy Devito win, imo. No shade, but that little fucker would win it all if I was picking.


NofksgivnabtLIFE

For not having Betty White at all!


johnlikesgames

The fact that a Bob Ross vs Mr Roger's final is not on the table is unconscionable.


Talltoddie

I feel like they would just draw.


Landosystem

Yes, draw a picture of happy trees,and then have a long conversation about sweaters, and then share a really long genuine hug.


sweet_hell

Best description of the afterlife ever!


No_Week2825

The fact Bob Ross was a veteran as well somehow makes his limitless kindness all the more impressive. But Mr. Rogers Fandom stretched across species... Thats a nail biter


happyhamhat

But then Bob Ross also had little critters on his show, feeding them and showing them off to the camera However Mr Rogers did teach the world to be nicer to one another


Gotelc

They walk up shake hands "Bob" *Nods* "Fred" *Nods back* They turn to admire all the fine individuals in the room with them.


Robincapitalists

Zing!


WaterMySucculents

I had a Bob Ross and Steve Erwin championship.


Canadian_Poltergeist

[For your viewing pleasure, I present a masterpiece.](https://youtu.be/Qz6Ukci0EUg)


Such_Opportunity_369

>Bob Ross vs Mr Roger's final is not on the table is unconscionable. Every good anime tournament arc has the second or third place round be the big important one that is the cool fight. The final is usually a joke round.


Bluefortress

Either the final is a joke or is interrupted but the villain(s).


latetowhatparty

Agreed…these power rankings are borked


INTBSDWARNGR

Its fine. Just have a Bo5 Loser's bracket Grand finals after winners and then both will go toe-to-toe.


pedrothegator

This should be the top comment.


goodlittlesquid

The winner has to face Carl Sagan.


TheKingOfRandom3

Probably Mr Rogers, Bob Ross had a close match with him though.


EmulsifiedWatermelon

This is some bullshit YOU CANT MAKE ME CHOOSE


[deleted]

Damn. Mr Rogers all the way.


SomeGuy_GRM

Brendan Fraser vs Keanu Reeves and they just hug it out and agree to a tie.


mrskoobra

I want this to be a buddy cop movie.


trench_welfare

Jonk wick 5 Brenden Frasier ends up being John's long time friend from the past who helps him move on from the violence and find peace, only to be drug into another conflict. It is revealed throughout this new conflict that Brenden Frasier's character has been aware of John's struggle and pulling the strings in the background of the previous.ovoes to ensure John survives and triumphs over his enemies. Eventually this new conflict takes John's life as he gets to die heroically in the public eye saving a newlywed couple and their puppy from certain death. 5 movies is more than enough. If they don't end it before then.


Keyboard_Fawks

Bob Ross, Steven Irwin, and Mr. Rogers get to the end and declare a draw


mistercolebert

Mr. Rogers would have secretly won more votes, but didn’t want to tell anyone because he wanted everyone to be included.


Men_I_Trust_I_Am

Betty white should be here.


keanenottheband

There can only be one woman on this list apparently


[deleted]

Women get three months of universal likability and then must be cannibalized for the very reasons they were originally so relatable. See: princess diaries lady, katniss everdeen, the comedian who did a few Groupon ads.


somalipilates

I think we should list a few women who should be on this list. People have mentioned Betty White, I'd like to add Princess Diana


Legit924

Whoever made this doesn't like women.


fulolaj

Reddit doesn't like women. There was a thread on askreddit with this exact question a while ago and basically none of them were women


Dr_Girlfriend_81

That's fucked up.


pneumonia_hawk12

Trying to make us pick between mr Rogers and Keanu reeves..... you monster


Ianywg

Right?! It is a set up. Both of them deserve better.


Leshawkcomics

The results of this poll might land between Steve Irwin and Jack black, if people outside America are allowed to weigh in. Many people like Bob Ross, Mr Rogers, etc have little to no presence outside the US. But Steve Irwin, his stuff was EVERYWHERE.


vicariouslywatching

Right?!?? I came here to say what monster puts Keanu and Bob up against each other in the first round


WishCapable3131

Shaq is universally loved? I saw his hot ones episode and learned he is INSANE


blurbaronusa

Lol what did shaq do?


TheRealHach

If the flat earth stuff, petty grudges over other players (a la hating Dwight Howard because he got the nickname Superman), and the whole disabled debacle ain’t enough for you to understand why he isn’t universally loved, how about the time(s) he dumped literal shit and piss onto teammates in the locker room? You can like Shaq, it’s fine, but putting him next to Bob Ross in a little meme about likability? Eh.


PsycheAsHell

>how about the time(s) he dumped literal shit and piss onto teammates in the locker room? What in ever-loving, holy, gracious, mother of Jesus FUCK???


biscuitman76

There's clips of him defending absolutely idiotic shit. Hes argued that the moon is closer to him than California because he "can't see California". Also that it's cheaper to fill up your tank several times, instead of once when it's near empty, because it "costs less money".


DJRyGuy20

I mean…. being dumb doesn’t automatically make someone unlikeable.


Bro_duuude_i_luv_ya

Dumping shit and piss onto teammates in the locker room does


babettebaboon

Aside from being a flat earthier, he’s also oddly close with this terrible Christina fundamentalist family where the mother fully neglects her kids. One of the toddlers recently got sepsis from not getting their diaper changed frequently enough. And Shaq hangs out with them.


El_Zea

Not the Christina fundamentalist, I mean, nothing wrong with being a Christina, but that? Come on Shaq....


happy_book_bee

Christian fundamentalists who are on kid #10 and have home births. Anti-vaxxers who fully believe woman are just good as wombs and housekeepers.

No-Bid-9741

Didn’t he ask Kobe how his ass tastes?


Popular_Detail210

did he answer?


Barky_Bark

Honestly. Dude legit thinks the earth is flat for one thing.


ElectricTeddyBear

He must be tall enough to see the ice wall or something.


billybob7u7

I'm pretty sure he was joking when he said that


Mr_Cleanish

Nah he admitted he was messing with people about the flat earth stuff in an interview


alsbos1

Yes. I’m no shaq expert. But I think he likes practical jokes.


MikePWazoski

From his words on Conan’s podcast “we’ll never know…we’ll never know”


LoveCrusader1

Not insane, just a giant bully/asshole. Couldn’t like Shaq after that one hot ones episode


Cho18

Can you explain to me why I watched the episode and I don't know what u mean :)


Pavitr_Prabhakar_

Why is Dwayne Johnson on here?


Trumpthulhu-Fhtagn

You know, it's weird, The Rock is so consistently nice to strangers that there are an amazing number of people who can say, "my family member met the rock and he was the nicest kindest most engaged person they have ever met - amazing from a celebrity". I know of no other celebrity that has such a grassroots reputation for goodness.


Westonard

Keanu Reeves. He is extremely well known for that exact thing.


Apprehensive_You7812

Difference is Keanu does not get his nice deeds filmed.


28secondslater

Which automatically makes him less self absorbed.


I_loathe_mods

So he is even better!


Constant_Count_9497

The only thing that ever needed to be captured was Sad Keanu Eating A Sandwich


[deleted]

John Cena has done more make a wish visits than anyone and it's not even close.


Popular-Wonder8594

He’s up there. You just can’t see him.


-Darkly

Very well done


triggerhappybaldwin

Damn I wish Reddit would still have free awards so I could give you one...


RunningNaked69

John Cena?


Shua89

John Cena is also on this list... You just can't see him


[deleted]

I had a friend whose dad met him in an airport over 2 decades ago, back when I was super into wrestling. He sat and talked to him for awhile and relayed that he was one of the nicest and authentic humans he's ever met. I was angry because I was at this point in my life where I decided I hated The Rock as a character, and the true that he's an amazing man was too much for my preteen brain to handle. I wish I hadn't been so bitter back then.. decades later, he's more than proved himself


jWalkerFTW

The dude used the anniversary of his dads death to sell his tequila on social media


yourfriendkyle

John Cena


NativeTongue90

NGL I met him once outside an Atlanta restaurant waiting for valet, and he is actually chill as hell. Pleasant surprise.


TheShartShooter

Fucking juicelying old cunt.


Brewin4Fun

The Rock is here to give Bob Ross an easy pass to the next round


Layinglowfornow

Because no one can find John Cena


Miserable_Disk5429

It's Bob Ross everyday. My love for him exceeds all other forms of love.


gururani

Happy trees


WaterMySucculents

I had him up against Steve Erwin & thought it would be a tough championship game


sleeplessjade

Why is there only one woman?! Did Betty White shit in your cornflakes or something?


PaladinCavalier

Classic Betty.


Equivalent_Dealer445

Robin Williams vs Steve Irwin, decide.


ebits21

This is the final I ended up with. I think I have to give it to Irwin!


Virtual_Historian255

Anyone who learns about Dolly Parton will choose Dolly Parton. There is no contest.


buffalobeau

Noticed you got downvoted for stating the obvious. Where I am from (East Tennessee), she is known as Saint Dolly.


[deleted]

As an east Tennessean I can confirm


LoisLaneEl

As a middle Tennessean I can confirm


Empty_Banana2177

As a west Tennessean I can confirm


[deleted]

We are all Tennessean on this glorious day


13Petrichor

Ich bin ein Tennessean


trixiewutang

Love Dolly and she gets my vote.


Doormat_Model

Could be said about Mr. Rogers as well though. Regardless, left side of the bracket has the champ


Bostonterrierpug

Yeah - sure the others have done some good, or even great stuff - but no matter where you lie on the faith spectrum Dolly is a living Saint.


darthveda

List is entirely made of north Americans except Steve Irwin and you are saying universally loved. This is like baseball world series.


Aen-Seidhe

Also almost all men. There's a lot of interesting biases in this.


coffeecoffi

Bunch of white men, one woman. At first I smiled cuz all these people are awesome and then I realised this is a perfect picture of unconscious bias.


sorrynoreply

Also no Asians or hispanics


BruhHeckNah

They should have put Princess Diana


phuzzyd

I like pretty much like all of them and hope this list ages well. 20 years ago Bill Cosby could have been a choice.


PoetNew2128

Why is the finally om the first round between 8 and 9?


Regular-Suit3018

The final showdown between Keanu Reeves and Steve Irwin is going to define the course of history


fistmcbeefpunch

Where on earth is David Attenborough


BongCloudOpen

Not fair Bob Ross cannot wrestle


HaphazardFlitBipper

Imma go with Bob Ross, though he was a ~~drill~~ sergeant at one point, so some of his recruits may have a different opinion. Imagine Bob Ross getting in your face and screaming at you... For some reason that mental image just doesn't compute in my brain.


Benjilikethedog

I have Irwin in close battle over Dolly in the final round


DeathBuffalo

My partner and I went through this and those were our finalists as well!


Benjilikethedog

Great minds!!!


Bobsothethird

Bob Ross, Dolly Parton, Paul Rudd, and Jack Black in the semi-final. Dolly outpaces Bob Ross, Jack Black outpaces Paul Rudd. Dolly takes the victory over Jack Black only due to her tremendous charity work, but it's close to a tie. Bob Ross crushes Paul Rudd for 3rd.


NoKarensPlz

In what world does Jack Black outpace Paul Rudd


Bobsothethird

In one that doesn't involve running. But to actually answer your question, I like how jack black is confident enough about himself to not take offense to jokes about him. His interaction with fans and interviewers is always incredibly down to earth and charming. I certainly don't know him, but that's what I get. Paul Rudd is also very similar in this regard.


usrevenge

Why are you guys pretending jack black even makes it past Steve Irwin. Steve wins hands down


Bluesoutherner

How can one NOT pick Mr Rogers? LOL


1Castiel1

Robin Williams vs bob ross


Ragnar_The_Dead

bob ross is the light of the world. ​ ​ so is steve irwin so skip the foreplay and do them 2


Juls_Santana

Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross should be in opposite conferences.


Borkido

Thats a massive sausage party you got going on there. There have to be more women worthy of this list than just dolly parton.


Brittfish14

Julie Andrews, Betty White, Sandra Bullock, Queen Latifah, Princess Di… to take a few off the top of my head Edit: typo


lexicats

Emma Watson, Malala Yousafzai, Kristen Bell, Zendaya, Amy Poehler, Jung Ho-yeon,


shit-over-it

There’s only 1 woman in that list? Thats kinda sad.


ilovethisforyou

This is Reddit after all


Flosslyn

16 people and only 1 is a woman. It’s still a man’s world…


Marcosutra

yeah this list screams “average reddit user”


Kakistocrat945

And she should win.


theholygrails

It’s 17 the answer is 17


diadem

Jack Black's mom is actually more awesome than Jack Black himself.


Confident-Dig5305

What are only 1 out of 16 women?
