If you want to know the answer, simply post the wrong answer on an internet forum. The correct answer will magically appear.

But a rocket is not a racoon

If you watch the latest Guardians, Rocket does come to the realization (and acceptance) that he is, in fact, a raccoon.

I think the joke was to quote Rocket

Rocket... The Trash Panda?!

What about the racoon that tried to wash cotton candy, only for it to be absorbed, leaving him with nothing but sadness and confusion.

Let's not leave El Diablo out, or Little Baby Pudding Snatcher.

While technically it is not a real racoon, there is even a superhero.

Clearly from not "Canada in the late 80s"

Or that more decent dead one everyone left offerings to in Toronto

There was a whole show about Raccoons in the late '80s & early '90s. I still remember Bert Raccoon's name so he must have been at least somewhat famous. I admit I didn't remember the other raccoons' names without looking them up, but it has been a while.

Looks like many episodes are up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@runwithusproductions/videos

Also, I'm surprised no-one's said Tom Nook, even though he's technically a tanuki, not an actual raccoon.

What about the raccoons from that show The Raccoons?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Only Canadians of middle age will remember them.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Can’t think of any famous raccoons? Has he even played doughnut county?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

A great indie gem! Highly recommend it.

Rocky Raccoon and Bullwinkle Moose.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Iz it not moose and skvuirrel, comrade?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I always figured that was Russian Disinformation. But today I think I'll blame... The Beatles.

Someone doesn't know about Rascal the Raccoon.

That expression has a completely opposite meaning depending on whether we're doing the limbo or doing high jump.

Franklin is famous. So is The Kid.

No love for Rambley the Raccoon?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I think I just found my spirit animal

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Only raccoons I know are the ones who trashed my parent's garage and this guy
