To bypass these issues he invented a wheelbarrow on legs that he rides in whenever he needs to move fast or go far. He also has a great disgust for people telling him to hurry, even declaring the word "hurry" itself to be the most offensive term he can think of. He's a brilliant inventor and tinkerer with numerous gizmos and gadgets under his belt, however, he outright refuses to move at a pace faster than a sluggish walk (with a couple of VERY rare exceptions where his friends' lives were in danger). Skalman the turtle from Swedish comic Bamse is this to a very literal degree.Several stories have played with the idea that his intelligence is fueled by all of the food he eats. Sometimes he is not even lazy, as he wins awards for his great marks. He is second only to Dilton in intelligence. Jughead Jones is frequently portrayed in this way in Archie Comics.Contrast Dumb, but Diligent, Nerds Love Tough Schoolwork, and High Hopes, Zero Talent (one who doesn't slack but never really gets there). May overlap with the Erudite Stoner, whose laziness comes from being under the influence, the Absent-Minded Professor, who may seem lazy because his intellect distracts him from everyday tasks, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and Deliberate Under-Performance. They should also beware of falling into the trap of Laborious Laziness if they find that their smarts and their desire to avoid doing work are, in fact, making them work harder at being lazy than they would be working if they just did what they were supposed to. This also applies to those who are secretly afraid they're not brilliant and hence refuse to exert themselves for fear they'll be exposed. Alternatively, they can be Weak, but Skilled, if they're very experienced (sometimes masterly) yet lack the drive to put any effort into their raw power.Īn obvious subversion here is the notable difference between someone who actually is Brilliant But Lazy and someone who thinks they're Brilliant But Lazy but is actually just Lazy.

#SLACKER MAGICIAN PROFESSIONAL#
When they try to be The Slacker, they usually turn into a Professional Slacker. If they're also rich, they may be an Upper-Class Twit. However, when it's crunch time, and the heroes need someone to come save them, guess who decides to give them a break? Expect them to be very sarcastic as well.Įxpect such a character to be indifferent, uncaring, and, at worst, obnoxious or self-centered. This character will likely Refuse The Call when it comes, feeling that, whatever's going on, it's not their problem. They'd rather relax and do nothing to help. Related to the Genius Ditz or the Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass, you have the Brilliant, But Lazy character, who is more than capable of taking care of any situation that the heroes have to deal with, but doesn't care.
