I suppose I didn't even factor 'legacy' into my reasoning, which is pretty important.

Yeah, the pastas that spawned so much crap and enforced so many cliches (Jeff and SS) deserve a place on this list.

Hell, even I'm guilty. My pasta Hartley's Friend Takes a lot of inspiration from Squidward's Suicide and 1999.
