The Drag Along: Difference between revisions

== Films ==

* ''[[Star Wars a New Hope]]'': This definitely describes how C-3PO acts, especially in the first half.

* Willie Scott in ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'' is a drag along from the beginning, and not shy about blasting Indy for it. Many fans of the series rate her as the least interesting of the women, and also because she screeches a lot.

* In the ''[[Lethal Weapon]]'' movies, Murtaugh just wants to retire and collect his pension for his time with the police, but Riggs is willing to kill himself if it will help get the bad guys. You often find Murtaugh saying, "I'm too old for this shit," eveytime Riggs eggs him into doing something crazy.

== Western Animation ==

* ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'': Iago, in the animated show, is the quintessential embodiment of this trope. He's more concerned with living in the lap of luxury and staying out of danger, and, as a Card Carrying Coward, is none too happy with being dragged along on some grand adventure every other day (which is understandable, since he's a bit of a [[The Chew Toy|pain magnet]]). True to form, he never stops complaining about it, also making him, as a parrot, a [[Snarky Non-Human Sidekick]]. Nearly half his quotes in the show could be page quotes for this, and he always had a bit of [[Genre Savvy]] about it. Case in point:

* In ''[[Captain Planet]]'', Wheeler was the one to fall into this role. In fact, a mini-series involved him actually walking away from the Planeteers, and then going into the future and finding out how horrible things were without five Planeteers.

* In ''[[The Magic School Bus]]'', Arnold never wants to go, and always ends up wishing that [[Catch Phrase|he'd stayed home that day]]. It's even shown in the opening: "''Please'' let this be a normal field trip!"
