Line 29:
** Jango is actually two celebrities in one—his mannerisms are clearly based on [[Michael Jackson]], but if one looks closely, his face actually better resembles [[Aerosmith|Steven Tyler]] than it does Jackson (minus, of course, the heart-shaped eyes, as revealed in a manga omake).
** It goes on. [[Word of God]] says that Franky is based off [[Jim Carrey]]. Each of the Three Admirals is based off a famous Japanese actor known for playing gangsters. [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Trafalgar Law]] looks like ''The Pickup Artist'' of all people. It's practically a [[Running Gag]] at this point.
*** Mr. Bon Clay is also based on Carrey, specifically his role in ''[[Dumb and Dumber]]''.
** Vice-Admiral Garp's right hand man is based off Humphrey Bogart. He's even called Bogart.
** Sanji is based on [[Steve Buscemi]], specifically his role in ''[[Reservoir Dogs]]''. But with blonde hair.
* The dub of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' mines the ever-loving hell out of celebrity impersonations, especially for Duel Spirits. Neo-Spacian Ground Mole is Art Carney; the Ojama Trio (Green, Yellow and Black) are an approximation of the Three Stooges, Crystal Beast Emerald Turtle is essentially a really poor [[Woody Allen]], and Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth is possibly the worst [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] the world has ever heard.
** It's present in the original series, too. Pegasus' love of Toon monsters is easily explained when you consider that his favorite movie appears to be ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]''? (Check out his email avatar sometime!)
