YMMV / Tad, the Lost Explorer

• Adorkable: Tad, a naïve, impulsive, daydreaming construction worker who wants to be a famous archaeologist like his idol Max Mordon.
• Designated Hero: Our titular protagonist is no better than Max, as both lie to the female lead (Max admits to it while Tad’s too busy celebrating his discovery to apologize to her), steal (While Max was only interested in stealing ancient relics, Tad and friends actually steal things that are used by other people for a living) and even kill, not to mention puts his coworkers in danger when he's "working."
• Esoteric Happy Ending: A minor example - everybody sure seems very happy at the end, but strangely, no mention is made of the fact that Tad is still unemployed.
• The Woobie: The Mummy, in the beginning and the end of the sequel. There's also his (and the other guards') backstory, having to leave everything he has ever known to protect some pieces of his culture and possibly escape the inevitable invasion and/or slavery of the Spaniards.
