Hello, everyone, and welcome to my Top Ten Lovable Douchebags in Video Games. So, what makes a character a douchebag. Well, they have to do a bunch of horrible things, and feel no remorse. But, what makes a lovable douchebag. simple. Its the same thing, but their antics are so great, you can’t help but like them. So, today, I present the ten douchebags we can’t help but love
#10: Luis from Resident Evil 4 - The first time you meet this guy, all he wants is a cigarette. Yep, he’s funny already. And, if you were stuck in a village filled with insane, murderous villagers, would smoking be your first priority? You see this guy a few times in the game. He is just so hilarious, as he seems to be looking at Ashley because there is……. “Something” about her Luis likes. The only reason he is number ten is, one, he isn’t as big a douchebag as later characters on this list, and, two (Spoiler warning) he dies on the first disc. Tragic.
#9: Creepers from Minecraft - Now, what is the one thing you do not want to happen once you finish a large building you were working on? Have it blown up. That’s Creepers for you. These little bastards just love to walk up to you and kamikazi your hard work, along with you. So, why are they lovable? Well, we can’t help but enjoy their antics, especially on the internet, and they are just so annoying, that, its actually good to see them blow stuff up… Just try not to stay up at night. It’s not a good idea.
#8: Groose from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - Now, this guy may seem unlikable, but its his cowardly personality that makes him lovable. He is always trying to be better than Link, but he only gets yelled at by Zelda. It is hilarious. Also, he is always asking Link to save him because he is just such a wimp. And, later in the game, he says how both Link and Zelda will be a part in The Legend of Groose…. No, I am not making this up. He actually says this. I sense a new internet meme coming.
#7: Wario and Waluigi from Super Mario Tennis/Mario Kart/ Mario Party/ Mario Golf/ Mario Super Strikers - Now, even though these guys are not in the main series, they are still real funny. Being the alter-egos of both Mario and Luigi, instead of being generous, kind, and helpful, Wario and Waluigi are greedy, rude, and always want to win. They may seem like jerks, but they are really just a couple of idiots, who always lose due to their sheer stupidity. Heck, even when they are working with Bowser, they still find a way to screw every up. They may be jerks, but we just can’t help but love their antics. Also, Wario has his own games. Why not Waluigi?
#6: Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising - My god, is this game over the top. And that’s why its great. Sure, it’s no Snake Eater or Guns of the Patriots, but it is still good fun. Senator Armstrong proves it VERY well. Seriously, this guy just can’t make any sense. While he is beating the crap out of Raiden, he is talking about how he attended the University of Texas, played college football, moves around in some of the oddest ways possible, and even when he kicks Raiden across the arena, you hear an invisible crowd cheer. My god, this guy is just hilarious in so many ways. And, he has spawned the newest meme. I’m sure you all heard it. Nanomachines, Son. That is going to be my reason for everything. Why hate Trixie? Because Nanomachines. Actually, nevermind…. That’s kinda dumb
#5: The Spy from Team Fortress 2 - Now, this Frenchman acts all suave and sophisticated. Doesn’t really seem like a douche, right. WRONG! This guy actually sleeps with Scouts mother, and proceeds to tell him about it, and, he loves to kill people by stabbing them in the back, and even disguising himself as the opposite sides team members to kill them. Also, he is just a total sadist. Yet, all of his cruel insults are comedy gold. Sure, everyone in Team Fortress 2 has hilarious quotes, but none of them are real douchebags. None except The Spy that is
#4: Travis from No More Heroes - Now, this guy tries WAY too hard to be cool. He always acts like a calm cool headed guy, with sunglasses, spiked hair, and a red jacket. But really, he is just an anime fan who lives in an apartment building, always goes to video stores to rent porn, and the only reason he wants to earn Rank 1 in the first No More Heroes was so he could sleep with Sylvia Crystle. It’s just funny how he just seems to be okay with killing dozens of people. Also, his reactions to most of them are just hilarious. And people say the Wii is for kids
#3: Michael De Santa from Grand Theft Auto 5 - I’m sure most of you thought Trevor would make this list. Well, really, he is more of a lovable psychopath, rather than a lovable douchebag. Michael however, is definitely a douchebag, and that’s why we like him. This guy has to be a bigger douche out of the other three. He has no trouble insulting anyone in some of the meanest ways possible, he hates everyone, he loves to shove his accomplishments in others faces, and he probably says the word “Fuck” more then any character in the entire GTA series, which is saying a lot.
#2: Glados from Portal - Now, how did Glados only make number 2. Well, she had some stiff competition, but, unlike number one, her douchebaggery only made it to two games. Anyway, she is just a sadistic robot that loves to watch the main character suffer as she is used for a test experiment, while she says a whole bunch of hilarious things. She goes from throwing you into an incinerator, to asking you to marry a sewage pipe, to……… turning into a potato….. I am not making this crap up. She actually turns from a deadly robot…… to a potato………. HOW IS THAT NOT FUNNY!!!
#1: Dante from Devil May Cry - Oh my goodness, this guy has to be the biggest smartass in all of gaming… and that’s why he is awesome. This guy has no trouble fighting of evil demons, giant monsters, and evil demigods, and he loves doing that. He even has to go around making fun of each of them with his cocky attitude. He will go and mock the form of a god to even out acting a man who is so overdramatic, he will act as if he is in a Shakespeare play, with Dante acting along with him. I mean, my god, Dante is just such a lovable douchebag, and he is the best lovable douchebags in games…… UNTIL NINJA THEORY MADE HIM AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC EMO IN DMC, WHICH IS AN ABOMINATION FROM HELL!!!!! Other than that game, Dante is awesome
And so, there is my list. Did you agree with it. Was there a character you wanted to see here. Let me know. With that, I will see you all next time.
#10: Luis from Resident Evil 4 - The first time you meet this guy, all he wants is a cigarette. Yep, he’s funny already.
