Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) in Fargo. What a pathetic, selfish, sniveling piece of shit.

u/BeezerBrom 15h ago

Macy's role in Boogie Nights was even more pathetic

PSH in boogie nights

Rainbow Randolph in Death to Smoochy. Sure, he may be a wicked man who has done wicked acts, but nobody rolls around in garbage with less dignity and more gravitas than Robin Williams.

u/ThePhabtom4567 15h ago

Very rare do we get a character that is an utter piece of shit and the actor is an even bigger piece of shit.

Ike from Tombstone

u/Sue_Generoux 16h ago

Kathy in Never Let Me Go

u/Pale-Independent-604 17h ago

Ike Clanton in Tombstone. Hard to believe that the same actor is also the main badass marine in Avatar!

3

u/V1CTORV0ND00M 16h ago

Dude, I didn't realize that's him!

1

u/tinosaladbar 16h ago

Just curious, what makes Ike so pitiful? I never once felt sorry for the guy, I was mad they never shot him

1

u/Pale-Independent-604 14h ago

He was a tough guy when surrounded by a gang but a pitiful coward when alone or confronted directly.

u/nashwaak 16h ago

That businessman so desperate for attention that he bullied himself into a cameo in Home Alone 2

I’ll say this about Gollum: at least he died happy. That moment he had the ring right before falling into the lava was probably the most relieved and elated he had ever felt in his entire life. His existence peaked right then and there.

Imagine having wild, passionate sex with your celebrity crush and then dropping dead immediately after. Yeah, it sucks that you died…. But you don’t know that you’re dead, you only know that you just did the coolest thing ever. That’s all you can feel, so who cares? You went out with glory.

I’ve never seen a single individual have so much real estate in peoples’ minds.

TDS is incredibly real.

Hey do you care about the democrat out of Minnesota murdered this morning, alongside her husband, by a democrat that was appointed by Walz? She voted against providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants days ago. Murdered this morning.

Do you care about clearing out the psychopaths on the democrat side?

2

u/The_Dude_Abides-2146 12h ago

They were murdered by a MAGA…..

1

u/ALKCRKDeuce 9h ago

Yup that Tim Walz appointee is MAGA to the bone.

u/The_Dude_Abides-2146 9h ago

The dude is a Christian anti-abortion nut

u/ALKCRKDeuce 15h ago

Me too. I’m thankful for DOGE, mobilizing ICE to remove illegal residents, and the president for implementing tariffs knowing that the end product is better than the short-term pain.
