Line 284:
* Wile E. Coyote, in ''Road Runner'' cartoons. The sheer unfairness of the clever, inventive Coyote always losing to an idiot bird capable of exactly one act in the most bizarre of ways makes it physically painful to watch. According to Chuck Jones, the "rules" of Road Runner cartoons are actually built to keep this theme lighthearted—the major one being that the Coyote [[Determinator|could give up at any time but doesn't]], making it partly his own fault.
** [[Chuck Jones]] seemed to have a perverse fondness for Chew Toys: his version of Daffy, Wile E Coyote, Claude Cat, the nameless and hapless guy in ''[[One Froggy Evening]]''...
** Sylvester the Cat is usually one of these, even his luck got much worse on [[The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries]].
** Porky Pig can be this at times, mainly when pitted against Daffy whenever he’s a screwball or Charlie Dog.
** Then there’s Snafu from the ''[[Private Snafu]]'' shorts who has died a lot of times due to his carelessness and obliviousness.
