-> ''"That's the thing about Basil; [[{{Jerkass}} he's an absolutely awful human being]]. [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist The strange thing about comedy is that if an awful character makes people laugh, people feel affectionate towards him]]. It's insane because if they had to sit next to him for five minutes at a dinner, they would absolutely not be able to cope with him. They would loathe him. But because he makes them laugh, they think, [[DracoInLeatherPants deep down, he's alright]]."''

->"But Trump is objectively a piece of shit!" you say. "He insults people, he objectifies women, and cheats whenever possible! And he's not an everyman; he's a smarmy, arrogant billionaire!" Wait, are you talking about UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump, or [[ComicBook/IronMan this guy]]?\\\
[[YouBastard You've never rooted for somebody like that]]? Someone powerful who gives your enemies the insults they deserve? Somebody with big fun appetites who screws up just enough to make them relatable? Like [[Series/{{House}} Dr. House]] or [[Series/BreakingBad Walter White]]? Or any of [[CowboyCop the several million renegade cop characters who can break all the rules because they get shit done]]? Who only get shit done ''[[TheUnfettered because they don't care about the rules]]''?
