Line 9:
** The Villagers were also heavily implied to be just as bad.
** The Beast himself was one, too before [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|he learned to love]].
* Sid Phillips and Mr. Potato Head in the first ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'', Al and Stinky Pete in the second, and Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear (aka Lotso) in the third.
** Woody initially also had his moments with Buzz in the first movie.
* Biff Tannen, as well as [[In the Blood|his whole family line]] from the ''[[Back to The Future]]'' trilogy.
Line 16:
* Stretch, Stinkie and Fatso in the first ''[[Casper (film)|Casper]]'' movie start off as Jerkasses but are also later shown to actually be [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|loving and caring deep down inside]]. (Amusingly, they're ''proud'' of their reputations for being annoying, [[Insult Backfire|even saying "Thank you!" when the film's heroine calls them on their behavior]].)
* The bullies in ''[[Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown]]'', with Lucy and Peppermint Patty to a lesser extent than usual.
* A good example of comic-relief gone awry would be L.J. from ''[[Resident Evil]]: Apocalypse''. His obnoxious, stereotypical and totally inappropriate "street flava" nearly makes him a modern day [[Ethnic Scrappy]], and left many viewers wondering why the other characters didn't give the audience a break and [[Take That, Scrappy!|just shoot him in the face]].
** In the follow-up movie {{spoiler|he is killed off, but by then he'd dropped the [[Modern Minstrelsy]] crap and became somewhat sympathetic}}.
* Andy from ''[[Wet Hot American Summer]]'' lets multiple six-year-olds drown, cheats on his girlfriend (who might be a [[Alpha Bitch]] if she weren't so nice), and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|refuses to clean up his breakfast.]] It's never really made clear whether the rest of the counselors, save for Coop and Katie, are aware of his jerkass tendencies, or just see him as a [[Handsome Lech]]. Either way, he's bad news with a beautiful face and incredible body.
* Being the villain is a given, but The Kurgan from the first ''[[Highlander]]'' film takes it further with his more comedic [[Kick the Dog]] moments like frightening an old lady.
* In the same mold, Steve from the 2004 version of ''[[Dawn of the Dead (2004 film)|Dawn of the Dead]]'' is an unbelievably obnoxious jerk who never misses an opportunity to be snide and petty, no matter how serious the situation. Thankfully, the filmmakers were aware that the audience would hate him, and he ''does'' end up with a bullet in his head by the movie's end. Ahh...
** Not to mention he {{spoiler|causes the break in of the mall in the first place, by leaving his post and not opening the security door when the protagonists are trying to get back in after a rescue of Sarah. He does it out of spite, and even greets them with a grin and a "Hey, guys, where were you?!"}}
* The protagonist of ''[[40 Days and 40 Nights|Forty Days and Forty Nights]]'' is surrounded by Jerkass 'friends' and co-workers who take advantage of him at the drop of a hat. [[Black Comedy Rape|Not that that is the only problem with the film...]]
Line 46:
** It's not a remake, it's the new adaptation of the book.
** Out of place? He watched that Charlie was the only non-jerkass child of the group, and he felt sympathy for him when he knew he was poor and hadn't ate.
* In ''[[Snakes on a Plane]]'' one memorable character that ''oozed'' [[Jerkass]] was a snobby, self-absorbed bald guy who showed about as much human emotion and common sense as a tin cup and generally acted like Steve in the ''[[Dawn of the Dead (2004 film)|Dawn of the Dead]]'' remake only not funny or interesting. At least the villain had a kind of human pathos and the annoying Ethnic Scrappies showed courage and determination when they needed to, Bald Snooty Dude was just a douche for no reason at all, even going so far as to off-handedly insult a woman and her baby for having the ''nerve'' to sit by him. Of course he got his, after a literal [[Kick the Dog]] moment... [[Asshole Victim|he's devoured by a massive snake, and later his corpse is shot out of the plane after it decompresses]].
* ''[[American Pie]]'''s Steve Stifler. This was an important plot point in the 4th movie (''[[American Pie]] Presents: Band Camp'') when his younger brother Matt, who for most of the movie is trying to emulate Steve, changes his ways when he finds out that EVERYONE hated his brother. Because he was a [[Jerkass]].
** And in another movie even ''Steve'' admits he's a [[Jerkass]] and is glad that one of his relatives, the protagonist of that movie, isn't like him.
Line 104:
* Practically every cop and gangster character in [[The Departed]]: Billy, Sullivan, Costello, Dignam, Mr. French, Ellerby, and etc. And to a lesser extent, Queenan, Brown and Madolyn came close to this territory too.
* Let's face it, [[Godzilla]] can be a serious asshole if he wants to. One highlight is ''Ghidorah, the Three Headed Dragon'' where he seems to auidibly ''laughs'' at Rodan when Rodan gets attacked by Mothra. According to Mothra and her fairies, who can understand the kaiju, he is quite foul-mouthed as well.
* In [[
