== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Lazy-Sensei]] from ''[[
* Genma Saotome of ''[[Ranma ½]]'' sits somewhere between subverting this and playing it straight. In the series itself, he [[Wants the Work Done for Them|almost never bothers to do anything]] besides loaf around, eat, and play shogi, leaving his son to handle any problem that pops up. [[Sins of Our Fathers|Even if Genma caused that problem in the first place.]] However, prior to the series, Genma willingly left his [[Supreme Chef]] wife and the comfort of his home to travel the highways and byways of Japan and China for over a decade, in order to help his son become a powerful martial artist, and in fact designed two schools of techniques (the Yamasenken and Umisenken) that are amongst the most powerful in the series, with near-perfect invisibility, [[Razor Wind|vacuum blades that can cut through steel like runny butter]], spine-snapping bearhugs, and more. He has also displayed mental sloth in regards teaching Ranma - for example, failing to read the [[Useless Useful Spell|Nekoken]] training scroll [[Now You Tell Me|all the way through]], or taking his son to [[Transformation Ray|Jusenkyo]] simply on the virtue that it sounded impressive, without bothering to find out ''why'' it was called "The Valley of Cursed Springs".
* Played with in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]''. [[Meaningful Name|Belphegor]] represents the sin of Sloth, but is a very hard worker. It's just that if she's the only one doing the work, it advances her vice. Still, when {{spoiler|Rudolf tricks her into a [[Duel to the Death]] in the third arc, she doesn't notice that her master, Eva-Beatrice, is in the line of fire until she only has time to [[Taking the Bullet|take the bullet]] (He apologizes to her, at least).}} As she puts it, ''"I was lazy ?!"''.
* Ryner Lute from ''[[The Legend of the Legendary Heroes]]'', who much prefers taking afternoon naps to fighting evil.

== [[Literature]] ==
* Victor Tugelbend is the hero of the [[Discworld]] novel ''[[
* Each of the villains in the ''[[Keys to the Kingdom]]'' series represents a [[Seven Deadly Sins|deadly sin]], with Mister Monday representing sloth. He has servants carry him around at all time and the waiting line for people seeking his approval to do something stretches into the hundreds of thousands. Seeing as he keeps an important part of the [[Celestial Bureaucracy]] running... Let's just say that in the ten thousand years of his reign, even some people remain unaccounted for.
* [[Older Than Feudalism]]: The Grasshopper in ''The Ant and the Grasshopper'', one of [[Aesop's Fables]].
Line 82:
** Most of these characters are [[Book Dumb]] as well, and it's hard to say if they really "don't test well" or if they're just plain lazy.
* The ''[[Dick Tracy]]'' animated series had the [[Ethnic Scrappy]] Go-Go-Gomez, a lazy Mexican detective who solved crimes from his hammock.
* Mr. Lazy from ''[[The Mr. Men Show
* Dodsworth the cat in a couple of Robert McKimson's [[Looney Tunes|Warners shorts]] (''Kiddin' the Kitten'' and ''A Peck o' Trouble'') in [[The Fifties]].
* Bird from ''[[Skunk Fu!]]'' fits this trope rather well. He also induces this on Ox as well.
* Beezy on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' literally schedules his sloth.
* ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball
* Experiment 625 in ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]: [[Recycled: the Series|The Series]]'' is every bit as powerful as Stitch... but he has no interest in using his abilities, and would rather make sandwiches. He does get to work to help Lilo a few times, though.
** In the [[Grand Finale]] movie, ''[[Leroy and Stitch]]'', in addition to finally getting his own name, Reuben, he gets a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when he successful repairs Gantu's crashed ship, something Gantu had been unable to do all series.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
