Everyone’s got a TOP WHATEVER column. You know the type… a list of arbitrary best ofs, worst ofs, or does it really matter ofs. Well, TrunkSpace didn’t want to be left out, so we decided to come up with our own JUST ANOTHER $@!#*? LIST COLUMN. Whereas other lists on other sites may have a point, rest assured, ours will have none.

This time out we’re celebrating National Lumpy Rug Day with a list entitled…

This time out we’re honoring THE TOP WAYS POP CULTURE TAUGHT US HOW TO SAY HELLO.

Annyong
Sometimes the best joke is a reoccurring one. For the folks behind the beloved series Arrested Development, the Korean word for “hello” became a running gag that ran straight through our hearts thanks to the performance of Justin Lee as the adopted Annyong Bluth. Sure he was misunderstood, but at least he was polite!

Hellooooo! La, la, la!
“The Voice” premiered during the final season of Seinfeld in 1997 and has been quoted by childish folks like ourselves ever since. In the episode, Jerry becomes obsessed with using a cartoon voice that he has assigned to his girlfriend’s loud stomach. He eventually is forced to give up the voice, only to have it come back into play at the end of the episode, a formula that was worked masterfully into all great Seinfeld episodes.

How you doin?
Love him or hate him, Joey Tribbiani knew how to deliver a greeting. We’ve all repeated it at least once, either playfully with a possible love interest or to a very large sandwich, another passion of the actor playing an actor who once played a neurosurgeon named Dr. Drake Remoray.

Ollo
The movie was overshadowed (rightfully so) by the similarly-premised Despicable Me, but what Megamind had that the Steve Carell-starring vehicle did not is a snappy, memorable way to make an introduction. Despicable Me may have turned into a bonafide franchise, but does that billions of dollars in profit help the writers sleep at night knowing that they didn’t come up with an “ollo” of their own?

It probably does.

Hello, Newman!
We’re reoccurring on the reoccurring, including another Seinfeld reference in our list. Like Annyong in Arrested Development, this was a running gag that helped to establish the tumultuous relationship between Jerry and his neighbor Newman. We’ve included it on this list because we know a real-life Newman and that poor bastard has heard this line more times than Jerry has said it in syndication.

Annyeong
(That means “bye” in Korean)

This time out we’re honoring The Top Dog Dogs from the 80s.

Brandon the Wonder Dog
He kept Miss Brewster company and was one smart Golden to boot. His fashion sense wasn’t as 80s-tastic as Punky’s, but we can let that slide given that the dog who played Brandon also appeared in “The Watchers” alongside of Corey Haim. That’s some serious 80s cred!

Rowlf
Sure his voice sounded like he gargled razor blades after a 24-day cigarette binge, but his fingers? Well, now those could tickle the ivories like no canine before him or since. As a cast member on “The Jimmy Dean Show” in the mid-1960s, he was also the very first Muppet to pop the pop culture bubble. Trendsetter!

Einstein
With his unkempt adorableness, Einstein’s main mission in life was to be companion extraordinaire to scientist Doc Brown. He achieved those goals tenfold, but he also went on to be the world’s fist time traveler. Not too shabby for this shaggy dog!

Sprocket
Looking as though he could be Einstein’s Muppet litter mate, Sprocket also ran with a Doc and spent most his days in a workshop. That’s where the comparisons end though because unlike Einstein, this sheep dog was more interested in calling attention to Fraggles than Libyan terrorists.

Falkor
Technically he’s not a dog, but this Luckdragon was every kid’s hope for a (flying) four-legged best friend. Atreyu may have had to face The Nothing, but he didn’t have to do it alone!

And just for ships and Googles, here’s a song featuring Rowlf on piano!
