idk where else to ask this, I trust you guys

I got into an argument with my friend at a New Year's party while playing charades, he didn't know who Dr. McCoy was and then went on to say that "more people know who Bib Fortuna is" and I think that's absolutely ridiculous, but a lot of my Star Wars nerd friends were like "yeah there's a lot more Star Wars fans than Star Trek fans so he's right"

what the hell

am I crazy

are they crazy

YOU decide

No, McCoy is more well-known

Star Wars is the bigger property but i guarantee you more people on the street are gonna know who Bones is than the seafood platter name of a Twi'lek

Like Dr McCoy is a decent Dr Pepper knockoff from the South, except it never launched in Texas for some reason and Bib Fortuna is an orange soda variant with a smiling orange with arms that have massive biceps for no real reason. That wears a bib.

I'm a relatively big Star Wars fan (probably not by the standards of this board and similar places but I have watched every OT movie like 3-5 times at least) who doesn't really care for Star Trek and I still find McCoy more recognisable than Bib Fortuna.

I think on a purely visual basis there's something in it. Like if you had pictures of both there's a chance more people would say Bib is from RotJ then the Doc is from Trek. Maybe.

But if you said to someone "who is Bib Fortuna" and "who is Dr McCoy" more people would know the latter for sure

I have no idea of the name Bib Fortuna but after a google image search I was like "oh that guy"

McCoy was obvious to me

Bib Fortuna, because I know the name, came to mind immediately.

The issue with McCoy is that his name isn't unique, so he doesn't jump to mind as immediately. Hell, even Bones as a name has been taken over by another character who is at this point more Bones than McCoy is.

Also, Star Wars as a franchise has lasted in a different way than Star Trek. I believe there are more people who have seen RotJ than have watched Star Trek TOS.

tl;dr, if someone has reason to know both of these names, Bib Fortuna is an easier to recognize name. If someone doesn't really know either series, then they won't really know either character.

More people probably know OF Bib Fortuna, but I'm guessing well over half of them don't know his name.

McCoy probably rings a bell with more people.

Yeah after reading the OP I was like "Bib Fortuna as a Star Wars guy, that sounds familiar"

I still didn't recognize "McCoy" at all until you mentioned Bones, at which point I was like "oh it's the doctor from charon's contest" (I still don't know him outside that contest though)
