Some phones help form part of our lasting impression of a character. For example, Pee-Wee Herman’s picture phone is a regular part of the show and adds texture to Pee-Wee’s whimsical world. In the film, Juno, the title character is a relaxed teen with a quick wit, who uses a phone shaped like a hamburger to add a sense of humor and childishness to otherwise serious conversations.
Here are some more examples that appear on the chart:
- TARDIS from Doctor Who
- Clear Conairphone from Clarissa Explains it All
- “Show Me the Money!” Flip Phone from Jerry Maquire
- Neo’s Cell Phone from The Matrix
- Shellphone from Spongebob Squarepants
- Glass Case of Emotion from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
