Definitely T. rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Velociraptor (in the JP sense), and Brontosaurus are popular. Can't forget the "pterodactyl" which in most cases is a Pteranodon, if not any other pterosaur then its namesake, but of course that's probably because most of the general public don't understand what pterosaurs are beyond that one word, let alone them not being dinosaurs. Ditto with Dimetrodon here for the same reason.

Tyrannosaurus,Brontosaurus,Triceratops and Stegosaurus were the most famous dinosaurs,then after 1993 the movie adaptation of Jurassic Park added Velociraptor to that list. :)
Don't you hate it when you legitimately compliment someone's mustache and she gets angry with you?

Actually, I'm quite tired of seeing Tyrannosaurus rex everywhere all the time. When I was Young, I could see animals in books and figures we don't see very often anymore: Lystrosaurus, Protoceratops, Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus), Iguanodon, Polacanthus, Megalosaurus... today, it's just T-Rex, T-Rex and T-Rex. Gosh.
