11 Garbage Pail Kids That Have the Same Names as Real People
When I was a kid, I was all about Garbage Pail Kids. I was susceptible to many '80s fads (He-Man, neon colors, the California Raisins, Swatch watches, Nintendo, doing crack)... and Garbage Pail Kids were right up there.
Today I found myself deeply lost in an incredible Garbage Pail Kids website (that's hosted on Geocities... quite possibly making it the last useful remaining Geocities website in the world)... and I knew I needed to make a GPK 11 points list.
As I went through the old cards, I realized that there are plenty of Garbage Pail Kids that, coincidentally, have the same names as real people (or, at least, real movie characters). So I decided on a photo essay list, comparing the real person and the corresponding Garbage Pail Kid side-by-side.

- Hairy Carrie Cubs win!
- Mean Gene "Let me tell you something, Mean Gene!"
- Large Marge Tell 'em Large Marge sent ya!
- Al Catraz Obscure references from recent and contrived episodes of "The Simpsons" are always going to be a part of this website.
- Barb Wire Never seen this movie, actually. Seems pointless.
- Ned Head "Phil? Phil Connors? ... Hey now, don't you tell me you don't remember me 'cause I sure as heckfire remember you... 'Needlenose Ned'? 'Ned the Head'?"
- Rappin' Ron He was a sort-of underground rapper. Consult your local library for more information.
- John John Aww.
- Ultraviolet Never saw this movie either. But I'm sure it's tremendous.
- Mad Mike Like five or six years ago my roommates and I went through a HUGE "Pimp My Ride" phase... and no one is more iconic than Mad Mike. Not even Xzibit.
- Tommy Gun A double finale! A "Rocky" reference AND a porn star reference! Those are two things every single male in my generation can relate to.
