History PlayingWith / BrilliantButLazy

** Bob sleeps 23 hours a day and solves Taylor Series in the hour he's awake.

** The "lazy" part of his personality hurt someone directly or indirectly (insults or DisasterDominoes that [[ForWantOfANail could have been prevented]] had he gotten off his lazy rear end one second earlier, or for one second at all, for example). [[RageBreakingPoint Someone]], as a result, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge has decided Bob is better off lazing off in an ICU bed]], if not [[DeadlyEuphemism in a morgue's]].

* '''Straight''': Bob would rather sit on the couch than do any work - but when he works, he works better than anyone else.

** Bob is highly intelligent, but has genuine difficulty concentrating and getting work done, possibly due to ADHD or a similar condition, which makes him come off as this.

** Bob is deeply depressed, either [[UsefulNotes/{{Depression}} clinically]] or [[HeroicBSOD from trauma]] or both. While brilliant, Bob can barely perform basic self-care let alone get his work done as he is. From the outside, though, this appears as [[DramaticIrony simple laziness or indifference]].
* '''Reconstructed''': Realizing that hard work is valued by society, Bob works his ass off... to get into a position where he can safely ''get away'' with being lazy again, as a ProfessionalSlacker
** Bob's laziness, pragmatism, or resourcefulness leads him to find [[MundaneSolution solutions that work involved with less effort, better efficiency, or simpler tasks.]]

* '''Downplayed''': Bob likes to sleep in late, but he's the cleverest out of his group of friends.

** Bob's laziness leads him to find [[MundaneSolution solutions that work with minimal effort.]]

Wake up and head back to BrilliantButLazy

** When Bob puts his mind to a task, he tends to get the job done very quickly. As a result he has a ''lot'' of free time in between his jobs.

** [[DumbButDiligent Bob is of below-average intelligence, but makes up for it by being incredibly hardworking and determined]].

** Bob literally sleeps all day, but when the other characters need him, he wakes up only long enough to mumble the correct plan of action.

** Bob is a LazyBum and TheDitz that [[DumbassNoMore Took a Level In Intelligence]], but his personality remains the same no matter how smart he gets.

** Bob's incredible laziness essentially sticks him in a dead-end position. He may be brilliant, but the higher-ups want someone who's dependable.
