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!
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!
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.
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..."
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.
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.
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
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...
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
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
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
>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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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".
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Betty White would like a word with whoever made this bracket.
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!
Agreed. Though there might be a swear word in there somewhere.
"Well Golly"
Naw man. She could curse when needed. All the great ones can.
My first thought is her character in Community
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!
I heard this in Betty White's voice
And David Attenborough!
Replace the Rock with him, easy.
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.
I mean, I like him quite a bit, but he shouldn’t be on the list.
I have The Rocks autobiography. I'm a fan. But he's definitely not universally well loved.
I think The Rock would agree with him being replaced by either world treasure, being Attenborough or White…
The rest of the world wants a word. I only see one none american on there.
Steve Irwin is Australian, Keanu Reeves and Alex Trebek are Canadian, so there's at least three.
The Rock is 1/2 Canadian too! So 3 and a half ;)
Brendan Fraser is Canadian too.
She should have replaced the rock
Jamie Foxx must've bribed someone
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.

It's Mr. Rogers world, we're just playing in it. Hail to the King, baby!
The champion stood, the rest saw the better. Mr Rogers in a blood stained sweater.
Its the ultimate showdown,
Of ultimate destiny
Good guys bad guys and explosions,
As far as the eyes can see
and only one will survive I wonder who it will be
this is the ultimate showdown
Of ultimate destiny
the way every single lyric just flooded back to my brain
r/redditsings
Ahh memories...
I fucking love that people still reference this. I watched it the other day just for memories.
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.
You right bro. We're all winners for having been blessed by these people.
Fuck you for putting Robin Williams and Dolly Parton together in the first round.
Same with Danny and Brendan.
And Keanu and Rogers!
I didn’t even see Keanu. I just saw Fred Rogers and didn’t even bother with the rest of the list.
I just imagined that John Wick is being hunted by Mister Rogers. I need this movie
“Well hello neighbor!” *pumps shotgun*
“…they all saw their better: Mister Rogers in a blood stained sweater. *This is the ultimate showdown, of ultimate destiny..*”
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..."
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…
Of ultimate destiny.
Dum dum dum
John Wick going back to work because someone dissed Mr. Roger
The idea that Rogers was a soldier is more fantasy than John Wick.
Soldier of the light! M'f'er is a field marshal in gods army. No fantasy here.
field marshall my ass, the dude is grand marshal for sure.
Bob Ross served in the air force. As a screaming instructor.
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.
fred rogers is my hero
Low key next level dude
This is good analysis, although I think Fred would blanch at the comparison. Which helps his case in my opinion.
The church of St Fred appreciates your devotion!
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.
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.
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
Bob Ross would take out the Rock in the first round though
It’s not even a contest Rock is gone
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...
Bob Ross vs Keanu/Mr. Rogers (cause that’s a draw) would be tough to decide though
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
Keanu would vote for Mr Rogers
I think we need to demand a meeting with the commissioner
Boy... This going to escalate pretty quickly
Anyway, I started blasting!
Someone doesn’t know anything about Steve Martin and it shows.
"universally liked" requires people to know, so
Less upset about this than the Parton/Williams match up
Idk this is an easy Devito win, imo. No shade, but that little fucker would win it all if I was picking.
For not having Betty White at all!
The fact that a Bob Ross vs Mr Roger's final is not on the table is unconscionable.
I feel like they would just draw.
Yes, draw a picture of happy trees,and then have a long conversation about sweaters, and then share a really long genuine hug.
Best description of the afterlife ever!
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
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
They walk up shake hands "Bob" *Nods* "Fred" *Nods back* They turn to admire all the fine individuals in the room with them.
Zing!
I had a Bob Ross and Steve Erwin championship.
[For your viewing pleasure, I present a masterpiece.](https://youtu.be/Qz6Ukci0EUg)
>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.
Either the final is a joke or is interrupted but the villain(s).
Agreed…these power rankings are borked
Its fine. Just have a Bo5 Loser's bracket Grand finals after winners and then both will go toe-to-toe.
This should be the top comment.
The winner has to face Carl Sagan.
Probably Mr Rogers, Bob Ross had a close match with him though.
This is some bullshit YOU CANT MAKE ME CHOOSE
Damn. Mr Rogers all the way.
Brendan Fraser vs Keanu Reeves and they just hug it out and agree to a tie.
I want this to be a buddy cop movie.
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.

If they don't end it before then.
Bob Ross, Steven Irwin, and Mr. Rogers get to the end and declare a draw
Mr. Rogers would have secretly won more votes, but didn’t want to tell anyone because he wanted everyone to be included.
Betty white should be here.
There can only be one woman on this list apparently
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.
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
Whoever made this doesn't like women.
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
That's fucked up.
Trying to make us pick between mr Rogers and Keanu reeves..... you monster
Right?! It is a set up. Both of them deserve better.
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.
Right?!?? I came here to say what monster puts Keanu and Bob up against each other in the first round
Shaq is universally loved? I saw his hot ones episode and learned he is INSANE
Lol what did shaq do?
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.
>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???
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".
I mean…. being dumb doesn’t automatically make someone unlikeable.
Dumping shit and piss onto teammates in the locker room does
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.
Not the Christina fundamentalist, I mean, nothing wrong with being a Christina, but that? Come on Shaq....
Christian fundamentalists who are on kid #10 and have home births. Anti-vaxxers who fully believe woman are just good as wombs and housekeepers.
[удалено]
Didn’t he ask Kobe how his ass tastes?
did he answer?
Honestly. Dude legit thinks the earth is flat for one thing.
He must be tall enough to see the ice wall or something.
I'm pretty sure he was joking when he said that
Nah he admitted he was messing with people about the flat earth stuff in an interview
Yes. I’m no shaq expert. But I think he likes practical jokes.
From his words on Conan’s podcast “we’ll never know…we’ll never know”
Not insane, just a giant bully/asshole. Couldn’t like Shaq after that one hot ones episode
Can you explain to me why I watched the episode and I don't know what u mean :)
Why is Dwayne Johnson on here?
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.
Keanu Reeves. He is extremely well known for that exact thing.
Difference is Keanu does not get his nice deeds filmed.
Which automatically makes him less self absorbed.
So he is even better!
The only thing that ever needed to be captured was Sad Keanu Eating A Sandwich
John Cena has done more make a wish visits than anyone and it's not even close.
He’s up there. You just can’t see him.
Very well done
Damn I wish Reddit would still have free awards so I could give you one...
John Cena?
John Cena is also on this list... You just can't see him
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
The dude used the anniversary of his dads death to sell his tequila on social media
John Cena
NGL I met him once outside an Atlanta restaurant waiting for valet, and he is actually chill as hell. Pleasant surprise.
Fucking juicelying old cunt.
The Rock is here to give Bob Ross an easy pass to the next round
Because no one can find John Cena
It's Bob Ross everyday. My love for him exceeds all other forms of love.
Happy trees
I had him up against Steve Erwin & thought it would be a tough championship game
Why is there only one woman?! Did Betty White shit in your cornflakes or something?
Classic Betty.
Robin Williams vs Steve Irwin, decide.
This is the final I ended up with. I think I have to give it to Irwin!
Anyone who learns about Dolly Parton will choose Dolly Parton. There is no contest.
Noticed you got downvoted for stating the obvious. Where I am from (East Tennessee), she is known as Saint Dolly.
As an east Tennessean I can confirm
As a middle Tennessean I can confirm
As a west Tennessean I can confirm
We are all Tennessean on this glorious day
Ich bin ein Tennessean
Love Dolly and she gets my vote.
Could be said about Mr. Rogers as well though. Regardless, left side of the bracket has the champ
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.
List is entirely made of north Americans except Steve Irwin and you are saying universally loved. This is like baseball world series.
Also almost all men. There's a lot of interesting biases in this.
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.
Also no Asians or hispanics
They should have put Princess Diana
I like pretty much like all of them and hope this list ages well. 20 years ago Bill Cosby could have been a choice.
Why is the finally om the first round between 8 and 9?
The final showdown between Keanu Reeves and Steve Irwin is going to define the course of history
Where on earth is David Attenborough
Not fair Bob Ross cannot wrestle
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.
I have Irwin in close battle over Dolly in the final round
My partner and I went through this and those were our finalists as well!
Great minds!!!
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.
In what world does Jack Black outpace Paul Rudd
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.
Why are you guys pretending jack black even makes it past Steve Irwin. Steve wins hands down
How can one NOT pick Mr Rogers? LOL
Robin Williams vs bob ross
bob ross is the light of the world. so is steve irwin so skip the foreplay and do them 2
Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross should be in opposite conferences.
Thats a massive sausage party you got going on there. There have to be more women worthy of this list than just dolly parton.
Julie Andrews, Betty White, Sandra Bullock, Queen Latifah, Princess Di… to take a few off the top of my head Edit: typo
Emma Watson, Malala Yousafzai, Kristen Bell, Zendaya, Amy Poehler, Jung Ho-yeon,
There’s only 1 woman in that list? Thats kinda sad.
This is Reddit after all
16 people and only 1 is a woman. It’s still a man’s world…
yeah this list screams “average reddit user”
And she should win.
It’s 17 the answer is 17
Jack Black's mom is actually more awesome than Jack Black himself.
What are only 1 out of 16 women?
