50 Movie Characters Who Suck At Their Jobs

Elle Woods Legally Blonde (2001)

The Job: Lawyer

Why They Suck: There’s no glass ceiling at play ꦚher🐼e. If you leave your desk for hours on end in order to go looking for your dog, you deserve to get your P45. Sorry Elle.

Hoitz & Gamble The Other Guys (2010)

The Job: Police officers

Why They Suck: They’re the two most incompetent schmucks on the force, as demonstrated when a simple good-cop bad-cop r🐈outine degenerates into a horrendously unprofeꩲssional bad-cop bad-cop debacle. Shouting “America” as you crash a squad car also suggests they’re not taking it as seriously as they might.

The Job: Substitute teacher

Why They Suck: Finn only gets the job by impersonating his flatmate, and when he begins teaching, it soon becomes clear that he’s hopeless.

Maria Fiore The Wedding Planner (2001)

Hancock Hancock (2008)

The Job: Superhero

Why They Suck: Being drunk on the job is never a great idea, but when you’re in possession of some heavy-duty superpowers, it’s even more of a problem. If you wouldn’t drink when handling heavy machinery, think of the implications he🍃re...

Peter Gibbons Office Space (1999)

The Job: IT Programmer

Why They Suck: Gibbons isn’t so much bad at his job as he is totally disillusioned with it. Indeed, he eventually gives up going in to work full stop, in﷽ order to pursue his lifelong dream of doing nothing.

Slater & Michaels Superbad (2007)

The Job: Police Officers
