* Even people who don't know what a video game is have likely heard of [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] at least once before. There's even a legitimate debate to be had over whether Mario or Mickey Mouse is more iconic.

Not sure if something this subjective should list examples, but here are some more that are famous enough to qualify.

Added DiffLines:


[[AC:Anime and Manga]]
* ''Manga/DragonBall'' is a good contender for most famous anime of all time. If you asked someone with zero familiarity with the medium to name you one anime, chances are it'd be this.


Added DiffLines:

[[AC:Comics]]
* Creator/DCComics' Franchise/{{Batman}} and Franchise/{{Superman}}. Even if you've never picked up a comic book or watched a movie in your entire life, you still know these characters and what they look like.

[[AC:Live-Action Film]]
* ''Franchise/StarWars''. ''Everyone'' knows the famous opening theme, and at least the most superficial details about characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Yoda.

Reviewed definition for Merchandise Driven, unsure if it applies here


* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' is one of the most well-known works of fiction (let alone video games) globally. It helps that it is the highest grossing franchise in the world, and that it is so MerchandiseDriven that you're almost certain to see at least some product or another bearing the ''Pokémon'' brand at supermarkets, toy stores and gift shops.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]

!!Examples:
[[AC:Arts]]
* ''Art/TheLastSupper'': Website/TVTropes may be able to find more story in [[PinballTropes Pinball]] than in {{Art}}, but even we know what ''Art/TheLastSupper'' is. Besides ''Art/TheMonaLisa'' (also painted by Creator/LeonardoDaVinci) and the Art/SistineChapel's ceiling fresco (by Leonardo's rival Creator/MichelangeloBuonarroti), it may just be the most famous {{painting|s}} of all time.

It may seem that a list of these would be the sort of thing that Wiki/TVTropes [[Administrivia/ShouldWeHaveThis should have]], but the truth is that it's not. What one person may perceive as the most common subject of conversation in the world may be seen as rampant FanMyopia to anybody who hasn't heard of it (and yes, there's somebody who hasn't heard of it for ''everything''). This list already exists for each individual that visits this site: it's your household. Ask for names, and type them into that Google form above this post. Use your browser's bookmark capability and mark down the ones you come back to the most.
