== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Lazy-Sensei]] from ''[[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu]]'', who enforces "siesta" time on his class purely to get himself more shut-eye. Nevermind that his students range in age from 9 to late teens, and are all past the need for naptimes.
* Genma Saotome of ''[[Ranma One Half½]]'' sits somewhere between subverting this and playing it straight. In the series itself, he 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.
