Pachycephalosaurus. These guys headbutt you to death. Too cool.

Also have to mention Ankylosauraus.
My favorite as a kid. Loved the armor and hammer tail.

It's Therizinosaurus, the dinosaur designed by committee:
Huge? Long neck? Feathers? Beak? Teeth? Plant-eather? Largest claws in the animal kingdom? It's got it all, and more!
Acrocanthosaurus is pretty cool too:
Never really got a fair shake by pop-culture, either. Just as big as Tyrannosaurus, known from good remains, not a super duper recent discovery, got a cool fin or sail or hump or something on its back, and its skull is metal looking as hell. And it lived alongside Deinonychus.

Spinosaurus was pretty cool, with its mysterious history and destruction in WWII. But with the recent scientific discoveries, I think it's the most interesting carnivore that ever lived. I highly recommend the documentary, Bigger Than T-Rex, for insight into the new Spino science. Seeing the newest skeletal reconstruction featured in that doc in person blew my mind. Absolutely astonishing how massive that creature was.

It's just a shame about the smear campaign the incompetent boobs that made JP3 waged against it.

Tasty. too.

I agree, chickens are the best dinosaurs.

They represent our complete and total domination of the entire dinosaur population, and the earth.

I mean, Chickens basically exist for food. Dinosaurs were always destined to be the food.

damn.


but seriously, parasaurolophus is my jam

look at that beautiful crest
 
This is a boring choice since there has been so much focus on the sarupods, but im gonna say Argentinasaurus.


Can you even comprehend its size? This thing had to eat every moment it was alive to facilitate its size. This thing was so big, it could knock over a T-Rex with its tail.




And this thing.. For everything to grow so supersize. Imagine how hot it must have been. Imagine the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The entire ecosystem on massive steroids.

I bet a human being would probably be sick from just trying to breathe the air. It would be so hot it would be unbearable. What else can explain the sheer size? 100 fucking tons. Elephants are between 4-7 Tons, and they spend all day eating too. It's completely ouragous. Gigantic doesn't describe these fucking things.

Spinosaurus sure is cool, such a unique cross between a T-Rex and a crocodile, supersized. You're right, just an astonishing creature.

Yeah, the more I think about the Spinosaurus, I akin it to the Platypus in that that fucking animal just looks like a bunch of different animal parts got jumbled up and nature was all like, "Yeah, sure that'll do."
STEGOSAURUS, BITCHES

Well, people already mentioned all the coolest ones. At least I would like to mention Cassowaries. Not the best, but pretty cool. (and yes, modern day birds are literally dinosaurs)
