Top Six Movie Dorks
Then buzz it up
March 25th, 2008 at 14:45 by David Schwartz
It's time someone stood up for dorks. Not blessed with the brains of a geek or a nerd, they are usually given a rough ride in movies.
Backward, smelly and dim-witted they may be, but on many occasions they make a movie special. And we don't mean special as in 'needs'.
So it's time to give them their due and recognise the greatest among them.
6. Brick Tamland from Anchorman
The dim-witted weatherman has an IQ of 48, technically making him 'mentally retarded'. He is also the funniest member of the Anchorman crew. Forget The 40-Year-Old Virgin or The Office, this is Steve Carell at his finest.
5. Napoleon Dynamite from Napoleon Dynamite
His dancing skills alone make him a must.
4. Fogell/ McLovin from Superbad
We watched this recently and loved it. All three of the main characters are great, but oddball Fogell is the standout star in this movie.
3. Milton from Office Space
Without doubt the best character in Office Space. Why, we're not sure. If you actually had to work with him you'd hate him, right? He's the joke of the office, he mumbles throughout the whole film and is obsessed with his stapler. Yet we love the fact that he ends up as the hero of film. Very odd!
2. Chuck Sherman from American Pie
"I'm a sophisticated sex robot, sent back in time to change the future for one lucky lady." We thought about many other characters in American Pie, but this quote seals the deal.
1. Chunk from The Goonies
Jeff Cohen gives a superb performance as a mouthy, fat brat in this 1985 film about a bunch of kids looking for treasure and adventure. The Truffle Shuffle remains one of the finest moments in cinema history.

March 25th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Um, this list is kinda lame, I mean only six when
the other lists get ten? It’s hardly even a list, but
more like a small group or something. Also you forgot:
Charlton Heston from Ten Commandments
Charlton Heston from Planet of the Apes
Charlton Heston from Soylent Green
Milton from Office Space
Charlton Heston from that Charlton Heston Movie
and Charlton Heston - see? That’s ten right there,
dork

God damn it!! Milton is in!!!!
You guys!!!
Actually, I should have put Mr Sweetchuck in from Police Academy
March 25th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
David, honestly, there’s no need to take the Lord’s name in vain. It’s no biggie that Milton from Office Space was left off your list.
However, you really effed it up by not including Napoleon Dynamite.
March 25th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
I’m surprised Sweetchunk from Police Academy didn’t make it in…good list though
:):):):):P:):P
March 25th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Really David, this list is ok, but clearly you’ve never seen one of the great comedies - Office Space. If you had, clearly Milton would have been included.
Other than that glaring omission, the only other one I would add to the list is Steve Gutenberg in 3 men and a baby. What a dork.
March 25th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Hey I didn’t read all these but has Milton from Office Space been mentioned? What a funny little guy.
I don’t know about a dork, per se, becuase a dork is literally a whale’s p*n*s. YEAH I KNOW, GROSS RIGHT??
Still, I like it when he talks about his stapler. THATS MY STAPLER, yeaahhh, we’re just gonna have to take thaaaattt….OH WHAT ABOUT LUMBERGH??? DOrk OR WHAT? (ACTUALLY A WHALE P*NIS*)

That dude who liked to listen to his radio while collating was a total dork, shame on you for missing him off. Him and the nerdy one out of Predator.
