I have no idea why I’m such a thread killer. I don’t mean to, honestly.

Jame Gumb is from Silence of the Lambs. I’m surprised I’m the first one to get that, since I’m not even a fan of that series… I heard about Jame Gumb because Jay mocks his dance in “Clerks II.”

Someone’s gotta know who Lord Kane and Papa Joe are…

Ah, I was thinking of The Duke from “Escape from New York,” although his proper title was “The Duke of New York.” Add to that, “number one” if you happen to be the President of the United States of America 😛

And since when did Vic Mackey become a villian? He’s just as much a hero as Al Sweringen.

My addition, a henchman who got his well deserved comeuppance in a great film noir - Chester.

**The New and Improved Superman** and **muldoonthief** are both correct.

No, it’s a different “Big Daddy.”

It’s not the [British wrestler](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Crabtree), either.
