History Main / TheSlacker

* Dudley Landgrabb from ''The Sims'' console game and ''The Sims Bustin' Out''.
* Slakoth and Slaking from ''Pokémon''. They are known as the "Slacker" and "Lazy" Pokémon respectively. Their signature ability, Truant even makes them too lazy to fight every turn!

* In ''TabletopGame/CypherSystem'', every character chooses a Focus that makes them unique. One of the available Foci is called Doesn't Do Much, which means, well, ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. In practice, it gives the character a bunch of free skills since they have more time to pursue hobbies, and lets them recover health more quickly because of how chill they are.

* Creator/RyanReynolds has done enough of a lite version of these guys that even when he landed a role as TheAce, the Hal Jordan from ''Film/GreenLantern2011'' written for and played by Reynolds kind of turned into one.

[[JustForFun/DescribeTopicHere Huh — wha? Describe Slacker here? But it’s like, early…late… in the morning… evening… something like that, anyways, why don’t one of you do the job of describing for me so I can get back to training my Pokemon?]]

* [[MoeAnthropomorphism Seychelles]] of ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' is a rare female example, made even odder given how [[GenkiGirl energetic]] [[PluckyGirl she]] [[HotBlooded is]]. But at the same time, she's portrayed as being ''very'' carefree, putting off cleaning ([[{{Squick}} even when it's covered in ants]]), [[HeavySleeper and somehow falling asleep in the middle of her own character song.]]
** Latvia is also this; he doesn't work hard unless he's ordered (and threatened), normally by [[PsychopathicManchild Russia]]. The funny thing is that when he ''does'' actually try, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre he's amazing at things]]: For example, he (as an agricultural nation) managed to build an entire working railroad alone, at Russia's behest. Notably, according to one of his character profiles he ''might'' be ObfuscatingStupidity.

** Ron Stoppable is also this. Unlike his A-type partner and best friend Kim, he is content in kicking back, lazing around, and relaxing. While Shego and Kim are usually compared because they are both strong and intelligent women, Ron and Shego aren't that different in that both enjoy relaxing and prefer to follow their more driven partners.

* ''ComicBook/GastonLagaffe: Gaston has turned slacking into a lifestyle.

* A rare slacker girl is found in ComicBook/{{Incandescence}}. The title character is an unmotivated young woman, barely attending college and mainly going to rock shows to her father's chagrin. Though as the trope suggests, she does start making steps to change her life.
* Another female example – Mary Posa of ''Webcomic/{{Henchgirl}}''. She repeatedly draws the ire of her fellow gang members for her laziness and having a pesky conscience. She'd rather eat junk food, watch movies with her friends, and pursue the rookie superhero she frequently runs into. [[spoiler: An injection of PsychoSerum cures her of that bad habit, but even after she is captured and reforms, she'd rather be a security guard (and a lazy one at that) than a hero.]]
* Elixir from ''ComicBook/XMen''. Paired in an OddCouple with Prodigy, who is an overachiever.
* ComicBook/ScottPilgrim -- An unemployed 20-something who spends his time playing video games, hanging out, and playing in a band.
* Chase Stein from ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}''.
* Wylie from ''ComicBook/OneHundredBullets''. He's lazy, has no ambition or passion in life, and hates his job. His favorite pastime is to drink and pass out. When Sheppard visits him and says: "don't work too hard", he replies, "Don't worry it's against my religion".
* ComicBook/GastonLagaffe has turned slacking into a lifestyle.
* ''ComicStrip/{{Rudi}}'' and Freddy from the German comic; also, their punk buddy Heinz.
* In the German comic ''ComicBook/{{Werner}}'': Werner and his friends (except for when they're brewing beer or tuning bikes, then they're very industrious) %% This entry was added automatically by FELH2.

** Fry. Even after coming to the future, he spends much of his time sitting on the couch and drinking beer.

** Bender has turned doing nothing into an ''art form''.

* ''Manga/HimoutoUmaruChan'': The main character is one of the prominent female examples of this—she's a ''[[FunSize physically literal]] [[SuperDeformed chibi]]'' who lazes around at home, naps, plays games, surfs the Internet, eats junk food and downs Coke all day—and would do them all at the same time, if she could. Noted subversion too in that she's only like this ''at home''; at school, she has a regular-sized alter ego who's amazingly beautiful, smart, with perfect grades and yet is somehow still totally humble—in short, to quote ''Film/MaryPoppins'', "practically perfect in every way".

* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': Usagi Tsukino prefers playing video games, reading manga, eating junk food, and taking naps over studying for tests or doing her chores.

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'': Beavis and Butt-Head rarely attend school and spend much of their life watching TV while eating junk food. They also have a tendency of goofing off at work, rarely, if ever, performing their duties.

* Shikamaru from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''. [[CatchPhrase What a drag.]] Though he does fit the BrilliantButLazy definition of this trope.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheWombles'', out of Britain, gives us Orinoco. While his Womble peers are hard at work clearing Wimbledon Common of humans' trash, he's usually looking for an out-of-the-way spot to catch another [[CatchPhrase forty winks]]. Due to his love of sleep and BigEater tendencies, he's also the fattest Womble (although he'd claim he's just [[IAmBigBoned "cuddly"]]). Elisabeth Beresford, the [[WordOfGod creator]] of the Wombles, reportedly based Orinoco on her then-teenage son.
