* Creator/WilliamShakespeare's:
** Sir John Falstaff is known popularly as this. However, it is subverted in that he is canonically a strangely likeable SmugSnake, who goes around ''pretending'' to be a Boisterous Bruiser.
** Gratiano in ''Theatre/TheMerchantOfVenice''. Even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Bassanio.
* Rooster Johnny Byron of ''Theatre/{{Jerusalem}}'': a larger-than-life raconteur who lives alone in the forest, [[FriendToAllChildren shelters kids who want to get away from their parents and have a little fun]], and regales them with stories about meeting honest-to-goodness giants. Arguably deconstructed, as the reckless, daredevil attitude that makes him so entertaining is shown to have a habit of pissing off everybody, even those closest to him.
* The Pirate King from ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance''.
