What fictional character is portrayed as lovable but would be fired, arrested or unfriended irl?
reddit user @peppersteak_headshot asked "What fictional character is portrayed as a lovable scamp, but would be fired, arrested or unfriended in real life?" and here are some of the answers, you can read the whole thing at the source.
- Willy Wonka basically fired all his employees out of fear of his secrets being discovered and brought slaves to work for him for "beans". They can't even leave the factory. And in the original story, they're black and he brought them from Africa against their will.
- Gina Linetti from Brooklyn Nine-Nine would've been an HR nightmare irl. Bullying Charles, sexually harrassing Terry, not to mention some of the outright hateful things she had said to her co-workers.
- Will Schuester (Glee) would not only be fired, but forbidden by law from coming within 1,000 feet of a school.
- The man in the yellow hat. Don’t be bringing your goddam curious monkey with you everywhere. He’s always causing chaos and a shit ton of damage. Do you even have a real job? Nobody likes you.
- Top Gun's Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. Nearly every single thing the character does in the movies would result in (to quote the Legal Eagle episode on the movie), "At minimum Dishonorable Discharge. At most Court Martial with the possible Death Penalty."
- Every single doctor on Grey's Anatomy. From the little I’ve seen of the show, they’re all unprofessional as hell and terrible.
