UPDATED 5/25/111 2:30 PM EST
No more Spikes please, I'm all spiked out. You can comment on it but I won't add it.
Obviously Spike of Power Rangers Samurai is NOT the first 'Spike' in pop culture, I wanted to do a fun post about all the popular Spikes in popular culture (TV, Movies, Celebrities, etc.).

Spike a.k.a. William the Bloody
Premiering in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he was to have a southern accent and only last season two but he quickly became a fan favorite and all thanks to James Marsters, who is not really British but a Californian boy. When Buffy ended, his character was sent to Angel, where he has appeared in both Buffy and Angel comic books. He has had his own comics as well.

Spike TV
I forgot what it used to be called but it was decided in the early 2000's that they'd change the name to Spike and there was a huge copyright thingy about the name.


Spike of Rugrats
Tommy Pickles' pet dog was named Spike, a mutt with two or three grey spots, he was loyal and mischievous.

Spike of Tom & Jerry
In the old MGM shorts, Spike was the name of the dog was often was the thirdwheel of the exploits of a cat and mouse named Tom and Jerry. Sometimes he had a son too.

Spike Spiegel
In Cowboy Bebop (1998 anime), Spike was the protagonist and bounty hunter, a classic badboy with a broken heart for the wrong chick at the wrong time.

Spike Lee

Spike Jonze
Famous filmmaker (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Where's The Wild Things Are) who started out doing music videos.

Spike of Land Before Time
I totally forgot! My childhood! Oh, Spike, you barely talked in the movies, that had mostly sequels.

Spike in Dinosaurs
For those that don't know, in the ABC series produced by Jim Henson company, there were anamorphic Dinosaurs. Spike was the bully and then friend of Robbie Sincliar.


Spike of My Little Pony
