100 Greatest People of 2012: #80-71

This is probably one of my most eclectic groups.

#80 - Bill Simmons. One of the best guys at ESPN. He runs 30 for 30 and Grantland. In the 30 for 30 film 'Four Days In October' he chatted it up with Lenny Clarke in some very humorous banter about the 2004 ALCS. Including an awesome reaction to Dave Roberts' stolen base.

#79 - The Incredible Hulk. Otherwise known as Bruce Banner. Not only was he pretty hilarious in The Avengers, but that roller coaster at Universal Orlando is just fantastic. Mark Ruffalo and Lou Ferigno are the only one to portray him well so far.

#78 - Ballsy. The mascot of Wipeout! You can always see him squealing and frolicking around the course with merriment and glee. He's the mascot's mascot.

#77 - Paula Poundstone. I didn't understand the lube rack skit when I was young, but it's hilarious now. I met the comedienne in Ogunquit, Maine, she signed a cup for me.

#76 - George Lopez. ¿Sabes qué? George López merece ser reconocido en el idioma que habla con fluidez in Spanglish. Así que, ¿sabes qué? He had a great show and he did justice for Senor Conan.

#75 - Billy Mays. HI BILLY MAYS HERE! Sadly, he's no longer here. God, I miss him so. His pitches for Oxi Clean will live in broadcasting lore forever, though. What a man he was. He could advertise like no one else could. Unprecedented greatness.

#74 - James J. Braddock. Eh, it's the Cinderella Man! Russell Crowe does justice to him in the film 'Cinderella Man', which we watched after the Christmas Break in Social Studies in 8th Grade. He had one of the biggest upsets of all time against Max Baer. Right right left.

#73 - Joey Tribbiani. One of the funniest characters on Friends. He was dim with a good heart. Some of his best were:

Joey filling out Ross' hospital form: Joey: "Name."
Ross: "....it's Ross."
Joey: "I know Ross, but what's it short for? Rossell? Rostopher?"
Ross: "Just Ross!"
Joey: "It's pretty. Okay, occupation. Dinosaurs. Emergency contact?"
Ross: "Uhh...Rachel."
Joey: "Okay, relationship. Oohhh, this could take a while."

Joey: "Je de plee floo."

Joey: "It's a moo point."
Rachel: "A moo point?"
Joey: "It's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo."

Contestant: "You put this in your coffee."
Joey: "A spoon. Your hands. Your face!"
Contestant: "It's white."
Joey: "Paper. Snow. A ghost!"
Contestant: "It's heavier than milk."
Joey: "A rock. A dog. The Earth!"
Contestant: "Pass. You put this on a sandwich."
Joey: "Salami. Anchovies. Jam!"
Contestant: "It's white."
Joey: "Paper. Snow. A ghost!"
Contestant: "It's made from eggs!"
Joey: "Chickens?"
Contestant: "Pass. You put this on a hamburger!"
Joey: "Ketchup!"
Contestant: "Yes!"
Joey: "Relish!"
Contestant: "Stop."

#72 - Abed Nadir. The gentle one. Not Evil Abed. He's the soul of the Study Group on Community and he keeps them happy. He's got an innocent soul. He's cool. Cool, cool, cool.

#71 - The Swedish Chef. Urf gurndy. Geesh ga doo. Flurdy flip flip flip. Yurf Muppet furndy girf de shoof le floof de Cook the cheekens. Ya foof foof foff, pretty cool, no? Slurdy lurdy ya furf da loo fa loof foof foof, favorite. Mindeee gustee gosta gistt a doo.
