* Mr. (Isaiah) Edwards from ''Series/LittleHouseOnThePrairie'' is this trope personified. The books made him that way too, using a variant of the folk song ''Ol' Dan Tucker'' as his theme.

The season 2 episode ("In The Big Inning") featured a huge brawl that broke out at the end of a baseball game, and saw Mr. Edwards gleefully taking out twice as many opponents as anyone else, taking the time to [[QuickNip chug a beer]] (or three) throughout the fight.

** King Robert Baratheon is a jovial, grumpy and rowdy example, although age has only left the party animal and taken the great warrior away. This idea is deconstructed, as it turns out that an appetite for drinking, eating, fighting, and screwing is actually pretty discrepant with running seven kingdoms.

* Prince Arthur from ''Series/{{Merlin}}'', as he often goes hunting or engages in quests with gusto, especially in the beginning of the series.
** To an extent, all the Knights of Camelot are like this, apparently.

("Well, they're a bit thick, aren't they?")

** Lord Flashheart.
** Creator/TomBaker's appearance as Captain Redbeard Rum in Season II is a mixture of this and CloudCuckoolander. So's Tom Baker himself, actually.
* Sam Axe, played by the immortal Creator/BruceCampbell, in ''Series/BurnNotice''. Semi-subverted in that Sam is actually just as smart as Michael and Fi, and his supposed dumbness is ObfuscatingStupidity.
