== [[Literature]] ==
* Victor Tugelbend is the hero of the [[Discworld]] novel ''[[Discworld/Moving Pictures|Moving Pictures]]'', who puts an extraordinary amount of thought and effort into being lazy. He finds the student life at [[Wizarding School|Unseen University]] very cushy so he studies extra extra hard to get exactly 84% on all his exams. 88% is the minimum passing grade for UU, and he has to get at least 80% to keep his trust fund. He's also in very good shape, so he doesn't have to waste energy hauling around excess body mass.
* 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]].
