Riding the crest of the nerd-slob intersection, "Booger" Dawson is a lady-charmin’, pot-smokin’, guitar-and-nose-pickin’ anti-hero.
Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski
He’s unemployed, he loves bowling and he spends half his life in a bathrobe; yep, Jeff Bridges’ The Dude is a slob for the ages.
Zach Galifianakis in The Hangover
Chubby, beardy, scruffy, weird—Zach Galifianakis’s Alan is the unpredictable, slumming-it wildcard of The Hangover.
Seth Rogen in Knocked Up
He may be an ass-scratching, directionless, perma-stoned illegal immigrant, but he’s also the father of Katherine Heigl’s child. Shudder.

Half octopus, half obese drag queen, Ursula wants to be queen of Atlantica. But you can’t help thinking she’d be happier with her feet up polishing off a chocolate bar.
Ted in Ted
If you thought Paddington Bear was lazy, meet Ted the dope smoking, foul-mouthed stoner with a sex drive unbecoming of a cuddly toy.

Walter Matthau in The Odd Couple

Slimer in Ghostbusters
How many of the slobs on our list wish they could be this guy: floating around, literally legless, stuffing his face with hot dogs and winding up a bunch of snooty squares.
Richard E Grant in Withnail and I
