__TOC__
== Astronomy ==
* Pluto, the former planet. The outrage when it was downgraded to planetoid was unprecedented.
== Creators ==
* [[Voice Actors]] are quite possibly the biggest example of an Ensemble Darkhorse when it comes to actors. The Animation fanbase online quite often love various Voice Actors for all the work they do in Animation (and to a lesser extent Video games) and are often guests in various conventions. Unfortunately often enough they are generally the only audience that these people truly have. Which the fact that often enough they get little pay and companies often seem to see them as nothing more than cheap disposable labor is considered all the more disheartening. But sadly if you talk about Voice actors to normal people chances are they most likely will have no idea what you're talking about. (The only exceptions are generally folks who either used to be/[[Celebrity Voice Actor|still are]] well known for screen acting.)
** Unfortunately it doesn't help that often enough many [[Vocal Minority|vocal]] fans of Voice actors are young adults [[Periphery Demographic|who are often not the Target Demographic of the shows they watch.]]
*** [[Mel Blanc]] came from the Golden Age of American Radio, where it was possible to become famous based solely on voice work. He also got a lot of his fame in front of the camera playing comedic characters and guest starring on variety shows. [[Lucille Ball]], Orson Welles, and Jimmy Stuart also first became famous in radio. Even voice actors who weren't able to make the leap to the camera had fans with the older generations who remember the radio era. With that last group, it's less about being an Ensemble Darkhorse, and more about being a fading star as time marches on.
** [[Names to Know in Anime|Japanese-wise]], the darkhorse seiyuu would be [[Norio Wakamoto]]. When seiyuu these days about the younger people, especially those catering to the more [[Moe]] archetypes, there's this old school [[Cool Old Guy]] seiyuu who stockpiles about classic and awesome villain roles. Thanks to his epic hammy performance, he's still viewed as one of the greatest seiyuu in business despite being not really the norm of this age's seiyuu (a man and old), and a [[Memetic Badass]] (and Real Life [[Badass]] too).
== Politics ==
Line 25 ⟶ 34:
* During the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, Australian comedians H.G. Nelson and Roy Slaven, unimpressed with the games' mascots, unveiled their own mascot, Fatso the Fat-Arsed Wombat. Fatso became more popular than any of the official mascots.
* David Freese had some [[So Okay It's Average|fine, if not outstanding]] seasons for the St. Louis Cardinals before [[Took a Level in Badass|going absolutely nuts]] in the 2011 MLB playoffs, culminating in hitting the [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|game-tying triple in the 9th]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|and game-winning home run in the 11th]] during Game 6 of the World Series (with his team one strike away from elimination in the 9th, at that).
== Theme Parks ==
* From [[Disney Theme Parks]], Figment is undoubtedly the most popular character at EPCOT, and the Hitchhiking Ghosts have become the unofficial mascots of ''[[The Haunted Mansion]]'', despite only showing up near the end.
