Kano steal the show in the 2021 flick ,   and   his common lyric and hilarious revilement carried the movie , as one of the plebeian unfavorable judgment of the   flick   were the flat character line drawing .   And a Kano spin - off could be one of the manyMKmovies Warner Bros. is working on .

Les Grossman - Tropic Thunder

Tropic Thunderis one of the clever and most forrad - thinking comedy of the twenty-first hundred , as it both parodiesApocalypse Nowand urinate fun of everything related to the movie diligence . One of the way it satirizes Hollywood is with the studio apartment executiveLes Grossman ( Tom Cruise ) ,   one of the bad on - screen bosses .

Sparklejunk200loves the character reference and   claims that " he startle me every time . " The character run low to show that Cruise is n’t afraid to look silly .

Neil Patrick Harris - The Harold & Kumar Series

The lapidator movie , and the whole serial for that issue , sees the worker make random appearances as himself ,   only   he   play a theatrical role so unlike his magical real - life self .

Throughout the series , Harris can be seen steal , doing drug , and assaulting hoi polloi , and he even murders Santa inA Very Harold & Kumar Christmas . The character does n’t have a severally redeem quality and no character spark , he ’s simply a complete jerk , and that ’s what makes it so suspect , especially as it ’s such a decided divergence from the material - life-time actor ’s personality .

Walter - The Big Lebowski

The Big Lebowskiis one of the funniest flick of the 1990s , and what makes it so keen outdoors of the lapidator - detective narrative is the fiber . Vietnam War veteran and avid plug hat Walter is one of the funniest lineament , and when it make out to his human relationship with Donnie , DaddyIsAFiremanclaims that   " never did anyone ever have a worse friend . "

However , while the character is definitely a short - tempered and selfish jerk , he is n’t such a bad friend as the Redditor posits . Walter isThe Big Lebowski’sfunniest lineament ,   but between the fashion he stand from PTSD and is genuinely a bully protagonist , he ’s so much more three - dimensional than most other movie jerks .

Ellis - Die Hard

FF_in_MNreckons Ellis is the honorable pic jerking and simply quotes one of the type ’s most iconic line ,   " Hans … razzing - bee , " which is read when he ’s trying to get on the   Hans ' good side .

Even though Ellis appear out for only himself , he ’s still so entertaining , even when he ’s attempting to help Hans capture , John McClane .   He ’s   just as dumb as he is a jerk , as he incline back on his chair , drink a Coca - Cola , and thinking nothing can go wrongly when he ’s rubbing shoulder with terrorists .

Guy Trilby - Bad Words

Randylikecandypoints toBad Words ,   one of the most   reprehensively underrated 2010s comedies , for its jerk protagonist .   The picture show was directed by Jason Bateman , and the movie is unsurprisingly full of everlasting comedy timing and compelling dramatic play .

Bateman also plays the principal reference , Guy Trilby , who   fall in a internal spelling bee competition   through a loophole to get retaliation on his Church Father . His father , who is the founder of the spelling bee , abandoned him , and while Guy clearly want his revenge , he put down dozens of small fry ’s hopes and dreams by doing so .

Howard Ratner - Uncut Gems

Uncut Gemsis a New   masterpiece , and it ’ll be consider a classic in 20 years ' sentence .   No pic has managed to be so heart - racing and anxiety - inducing from start to finale , as Howard ( Adam Sandler ) makes one mistake after another . However , even though he ’s such a dork , it ’s hard not to sympathise with the character reference .

ButDrTriagethinks otherwise , arguing that   " it was n’t enough when he got shot in the side . " Howard ’s fate was written on the paries from the very beginning , and it was never going to end well , but it ’s still oddly heartbreaking for most viewers when he gets killed in his store .

Blake - Glengarry Glen Ross
