What the lists say

Raised on the 2000s

Most favorites land in one decade's sweet spot, from Scrubs and The Office to Superbad, Wedding Crashers, and Kingdom Hearts.

Raunchy comedy, served loud

Crude, quotable comedy shows up everywhere, with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The League, American Pie, Sex Drive, and Superbad all ranking high.

Chosen ones on big quests

Young heroes with destinies carry a lot of these picks, like Naruto, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Kingdom Hearts, and The Fellowship of the Ring.

Crime, cops, and moral rot

A darker streak runs through stories about corruption and violence, including The Wire, The Departed, The Dark Knight, and American History X.

Nintendo childhood, anime adolescence

Early Nintendo classics sit beside the anime that followed, pairing Super Mario 64 and Pokémon Red / Blue / Yellow with Fullmetal Alchemist and Naruto.

Sincere hearts under the jokes

Earnest, feel-good stories balance the cynicism, from Ted Lasso and About Time to Remember the Titans and Coach Carter.
