ComingSoon.net sluggishly browsed through a handful of films in order to relate to a bunch of underachievers or slobs. Check out our picks in the gallery below!
No one really enjoys being responsible and clean. Do they? There’s something extraordinarily liberating about through your clothes on the ground, spilling your drink and being late for work. This is probably why some of the most beloved characters in cinema do not have their shit together; slobs are just a reflection of the grimy loser inside all of us.
The charismatic slob is a world-renowned archetype; the overweight best friend, the messy roommate, the lost protagonist. For those of us aimlessly wandering through life with stains on our shirts due to an intense pizza-eating movie marathon the night before, here are some characters on that same page—ones who are just a mess.
12 of The Biggest Cinematic Slobs
-
Ted, Ted (2012)
Everyone's favorite washed up talking teddy bear; the alcohol, drugs, foul language a cornerstone of endearing, yet slobby behavior.
-
`The Dude,' The Big Lebowski (1998)
Your classic middle-aged bachelor with an affinity for weed and bowling.
-
Bill and Ted, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)
An ambitious pair actually, they just lacked the tenacity and focus to follow through—or so it would seem. These slackers (and their music) turned out to be the main reason for the creation of a Utopian society.,,although they still barely passed high school.
-
Floyd, True Romance (1993)
A lot of stoners on this list, we're definitely not stereotyping, this iconic Brad Pitt character was just waiting for them to get him some cleaning products.
-
Bill Murray, Caddyshack (1980)
Everyone's favorite gopher hunting wild man.
-
Lester Bangs, Almost Famous (2000)
This character's cynicism just makes him seem like an underachiever always bitter that he missed his shot; but he didn't. Slob vibe.
-
Ben Stone, Knocked Up (2007)
The ideal baby daddy.
-
Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
As characters introductions go, confidently sailing in to shore on a sinking ship is hard to beat—pretty much sums up the character.
-
Fat Bastard, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999)
Obese, disgusting, overtly sexual, with a heart of gold.
-
Annie, Bridesmaids (2011)
Not necessarily a slob, just a lovable character whose life is a mess.
-
Alan, The Hangover (2009)
All this guy wanted was to make friends and have a hell of a time. Deplorable approach with even messier results. Alan has no idea what he is doing.
-
John Blutarsky, Animal House (1978)
The quintessential, legendary, master of all slobs.
