True, but if you're going that route, do many people outside the US know who Smokey the Bear or Uncle Tom are?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The question is really your definition of "influential". If by influential, you mean he was a catalyst for spotlighting and reforming social problems, then Archie Bunker wins. If influential simply means how many people have heard of you, then Dracula easily wins. Hell, I was born in the US in 1978 and didn't know who Archie Bunker was until I was an older teenager, but everyone knows Dracula.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That doesn't really matter, does it? The list just says "Dracula", not "Bram Stoker's Dracula".

Why are we arguing Dracula and Archie Bunker, anyway? They're both influential in their own way. The bigger question is, who did Buck Rogers influence, other than Daffy Duck?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Since when does the Boogeyman suck blood and mesmerize women with his eyes? Dracula's a step above your average ghoul because he's got style.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
