10 People Who You Only Wish You Were Friends With As A Kid In The 80s And 90s

Here are 10 fictional characters that would have made life a whole lot better as a kid.

The Genie

I don't know about you, but I think having my very own genie would have come in handy. It's just such a shame he can only grant 3 wishes.

Ernest P. Worrell

Alright, he's annoying and let's face it, a bit on the dumb side. The great thing about this guy, though, is that he is loyal and always somehow manages to save the day. Not a bad guy to have in your group of friends.

Optimus Prime

This guy is more than meets the eye. Ha, yes I totally just did that. Another loyal ally. And he can transform into a truck. That's just freakin cool.

Splinter

He was more than just a talking rat. He taught you to fight and also makes funnies. Cowabunga, dude.

Yoda

Many things learn will you from this master of the force. Also, you have to admit, he is adorable.

Falcor

How could you go wrong with a luck dragon? That's right, you can't.

Mr. Miyagi

Another master of the martial arts. Good to have. Can also kill flies with chopsticks and heal you by simply rubbing his hands together. This guy would stand behind you and always believe in you no matter what.

Rufus

I am not going to lie. This guy is just bad ass. Journeying through time in a phone booth to do your history reports would have been most excellent.

Doc Brown

Time travelling dude again. Only this time, in a cool freakin car. You may not understand everything he says but he invented the flux capacitor so as long as he knows what he's talking about, this is not an issue.

The Goonies. All of them.

Ok, so this is more than one person but whatever. Having all of the other folks in your life would have been fantastic, but you need some good pals closer to your age to experience it all with! So here you go: the best pack of friends to go on any adventure with. Enjoy.
