== Real Life ==
* Alec Fleming (discoverer of penicillium mold) was one of these. In fact he shared the 1945 Nobel prize with two others, Ernst Chain and Sir Howard Florey, who ended up doing almost all the real work after he gave up on it. Fleming was so charismatic that Chain and Florey have been largely forgotten.
** Chain and Florey perfected the large scale synthesis of the drug.
* Joel McHale is a big one. He's already got you watching ''The Soup'', but he will promote his show ''[[Community]]'' (Thursday nights at 8PM on NBC!) as well as his own stand up shows. Also his Twitter feed is nothing but urging people to watch ''[[Community]]'' and and to go to his shows. This can be forgiven as Joel Mchale is extremely funny.
* As the photo indicates, Jack Layton
* There is a reason you've heard a lot more about Thomas Edison and [[Isaac Newton]] than Nicola Tesla and Robert Hooke; the former were much better at self promotion.
* [[Dan Schneider|Danwarp]]
* The career of independent film producer Brian Flemming was arguably destroyed when he couldn't stop promoting his documentary ''The God Who Wasn't There'' and his atheism.
