By clicking on this link, you probably already have an idea of who is on this list. Here, we've got cartoon characters, movie stars and world-famous athletes.

That being said, you might be surprised by some of the people that appear on this list.

The list is based not just on the resemblance between the two "characters," but also on how corny and peculiar both of them are.

And, as you can see on the lead picture, we feature Stan Van Gundy and Ron Jeremy, two "talented" men who satisfy our "creative" appetites, especially Jeremy.

No. 10: Denver Nuggets Head Coach George Karl and Actor John Lithgow

Note: I don't actually believe that Cribbs' face looks at all like Predator's, but, when wearing his helmet with the dreadlocks hanging out, Cribbs certainly does resemble the evil villain.
