Line 24:

** Interestingly the first anime double subverts this. Sloth is portrayed as a beautiful woman who can turn herself into water. In her human disguise as [[Pride|King Bradley's]] secretary she's a very hard worker. But when in combat, she appears to be rather lazy, as it's been shown at least once that she can actually [[Making a Splash|turn her entire body into water and drown anyone and everyone around her]], but she usually just uses a small amount of her power (usually in her arms) and kind of just stands there in one spot while trying to hit her target.

** Both Sloths are also morally lazy. The anime Sloth tries to take the easy way out, killing the Elric brothers rather than psychologically coming to terms with the fact that she is {{spoiler|the reincarnation of their mother}}. Manga Sloth, in a similar vein, tends to use his [[Super Strength]] to go through objects rather than around them, and commits crimes because he simply lacks the willpower and drive to say no. In his case it's justified as he's the literal embodiment of the sin he's named for.

* In ''[[Tobacco Road]]'', Jeeter Lester believes himself to be a hard-working farmer who's not to blame if other people won't give him credit to buy seed cotton and fertilizer. His actions, or rather his inactivity, suggests otherwise.

* Bertie from ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (Literature)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'', who has [[Upperclass Twit|more than enough money to support his lazy lifestyle]] and dreads nothing more than losing [[The Jeeves|his valet]], [[Living Emotional Crutch|who runs his life]] [[Rich in Dollars Poor In Sense|and sees to it that he doesn't have to do a thing himself]].
