** Alhaitham is the Scribe (basically a file clerk) of the Sumeru Academia. He discribes himself as "weak, feeble scholar " but this couldn't be further from the truth, as he's a {{Hunk}} and TheAce, even if he's too lazy to possess many ambitions. At one point he's even [[spoiler:appointed as the Acting Grand Sage of the Sumeru Academia (basically the highest authority in the state, second only to the god of Sumeru)]]. He accepts the position and does a good job. He also immediately submits his resignation, because he knows the search for a permanent replacement will take some time and he wants to go back to his leisurely style of life as soon as possible.

* ''VideoGame/TheIdolmaster'' has Miki Hoshii as a justified example. She turns out to be naturally talented and easily picks things up that she never had any reason to really apply herself to anything, leaving her to grow up bored. And her father is only nurturing this viewpoint because he tells her that his political [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections connections can open her so many doors]], she'll never have to work a day in her life. Her route in the UsefulNotes/Xbox360 game revolves around her learning that improving as an idol does require her to actually buckle down and do some work.

** Tianyou Zhao from ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'' has everything that could make him a good leader for the Liumang... except an interest in being in charge. It makes him quite jaded about holding the position despite having the brains and the brawn to fill it. It's also one of the reasons why he respected his blood brother [[TheStarscream Mabuchi]], since he had both the talent and ambition to be boss but ultimately couldn't.

* [[BigBad Kale Vandelay]] from ''VideoGame/HiFiRush'' is a genuine genius capable of developing a highly advanced brainwashing AI like SPECTRA, as well as a good enough fighter to beat even [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower Korsica]], yet his plans for SPECTRA [[spoiler:don't go anywhere beyond [[MundaneUtility using it to make himself CEO and to keep customers loyal to the Vandelay brand]]]], and just seems to lack the general motivation to ''run'' the company, choosing to let his less competent and/or less evil directors take care of any problems for him, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain something that creates even more problems for the company that could be easily avoided if he were to just step in and take care of the situation himself]].

* Lisa of ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' is a massively powerful Sorceress and a well-respected member of the Knights Of Favonious. She is the most esteemed graduate of Sumeru Academia in the last two centuries, extremely well-read, and invented an automatic cauldron in her spare time. She is also very, ''very'' lazy. She prefers to foist any minor task onto other Knights so she can spend her days napping, drinking tea and basically living in the library.
->''How nice it must be to lounge away all day without a care in the world. Hmmm...W-what do you mean I already do that? You're getting quite bold these days aren't you cutie?''

* ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' has [[TheSlacker King Knight]], the WarmUpBoss of the other campaigns in his own quest, King of Cards: he is revealed to be an incredibly strong and persevering fighter who can beat the three most powerful kings with only {{Dash Attack}}s, but also [[GeniusBruiser a professional Joustus player]]. However, when his dream to become the king is fulfilled, he slacks off until [[TheHero Shovel Knight]] brings him back to his place.
