number 10 johnny english the johnny
english franchise
rowan atkinson is renowned for playing a
similarly clumsy character
in mr bean but in the case of the
titular johnny english
he actually manages to put those
pratfalls to good use
johnny english may be a secret agent but
he's incredibly accident prone
and not terribly good at his job however
as often as his mistakes in pratfalls
land him in embarrassing or dangerous
situations
english also manages to luck into saving
the world or
at least the uk on a regular basis
although a spy like this in real life
would be a disaster
johnny english makes for a funny and
entertaining fictional one
number nine inspector jacques clouseau
the pink panther franchise
in a similar vein to our last entry
inspector jacques clouseau may be an
investigator but his deductions are not
so much brilliant as they are
lucky with a brain nearly as thick as
his accent inspector clouseau's cases
are usually solved through no
intentional effort on his part
oh you also know the falling on the bed
with the arm on the floor ploy
very interesting you've been shot dead
you idiot don't you call me an idiot the
comically inept police officer blunders
his way through life
blissfully unaware even of his own
commissioner's rampant hatred of his
[Music]
success
we doubt clouseau would even notice his
manservant cato's attacks on him
if it weren't he who instructed the guy
to attack him in the first place
convinced of his own brilliance and
hilarious throughout his films
except maybe the steve martin ones
inspector cluso is a classic
accidental hero i would like to buy a
hamburger i would like to buy a
hamburger i would like to buy him burger
number eight frank drebin the naked gun
franchise
nice to meet you mr dreven frank
greben i believe i've used some of your
restrooms
i'm sure you have arguably the best of
the buffoonish investigator trope
sergeant frank drebin detective
lieutenant is a majorly incompetent
police officer
at first glance he seems like a
hard-boiled detective but that only
makes it funnier when he does or says
something incredibly silly or stupid
whether he's exchanging weapons with the
villain or gunning down a production of
shakespeare in the park
frank's not the sharpest knife in the
drawer or a suspect's back
yes well when i see five weirdos dressed
in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of
the park and full view of 100 people
i shoot the bastards that's my policy
that was a shakespeare
in the park production of julius caesar
you
he always manages to save the day
though even if he has to do it by
tripping into it
literally in some cases
look you did it
number seven gary king the world's end
depressed and looking to accomplish
something gary king gets his old friends
together in their hometown
to complete a pub crawl they once failed
to complete
good evening raymondo the prodigal sons
return
hi who's on the guest list tonight come
again the guest dales
we sir are doing the gold mile and you
have the honor of drawing first blood
however he and his mates soon discover
that many townspeople have been replaced
with android duplicates by aliens
gary and company managed to fight the
blanks and remain under the radar fairly
well
considering how progressively buzzed
they get however it's gary's drunken
rant to the alien intelligence's leader
that finally convinces them to leave
earth for good just what is it that you
want to do
we want to be free we want to be free to
do what we want to do
yeah we want to get loaded yeah and we
want to have a good time
and that's what we're going to do then
again whether gary truly
saves the world may be a matter of
debate since the aliens take all
advanced technology with them when they
leave
it could be the lesser of two
apocalypses
number six anakin skywalker star wars
episode 1
the phantom menace even as a young boy
anakin skywalker is a gifted pilot
in part due to a strong connection to
the force
[Music]
still one of his first big victories
happens through little skill of his own
during the battle of naboo anakin who
was brought to a war zone for some
reason
goes to one of the starfighters to hide
and ends up activating the autopilot
trying to i don't know where the trigger
is
oops wrong one maybe this one
nope wait here it is
this takes him into battle and lands him
in the heart of the droid control ships
above
anakin accidentally destroys it from
inside which leads to all the droid
soldiers down below getting deactivated
effectively saving the planet we didn't
hit it
now this is pod racing number five
forrest gump
forrest gump forrest gump is a simple
man he's not clever and even lacks a lot
of common sense but he's got a good
heart
and he has a single-minded determination
to see through whatever is asked of him
[Music]
through no intention of a zone forest
ends up doing a lot of incredible things
from being a successful football player
to helping open relations with china
somebody said world peace was in our
hands
but all i did was play ping-pong however
easily his most heroic moment happens
when he manages to rescue his lieutenant
and many other soldiers while searching
for his friend bubba after they're
separated
i can't leave the platoon i told you to
leave me there gump
forget about me get yourself out forrest
didn't set out to save them all
but he did it while doing what he does
best running
number four baby groot guardians of the
galaxy vol 2.
baby groot is adorable and occasionally
kind of frightening when he gets angry
but at the end of the day he is still a
baby
spit it out spit it out come on that
means he doesn't always understand
what's going on
nor is he able to follow directions well
whether he's munching on candy during a
crash landing
or coming back with someone's toe
instead of what rocket asked for
it's clear that little groot has a hard
time staying focused on his objective
tell me you guys have a refrigerator
somewhere with a bunch of seven human
toes okay
then let's just agree to never discuss
this this becomes a matter of galactic
importance during the final battle with
ego
as baby groot has to push one of two
buttons one of which will start a
countdown
and one of which will detonate a bomb
immediately don't
push this button because that will set
off the bomb immediately and we'll all
be dead
now repeat back what i just said i am
good
uh-huh i am good that's right
no now that's the button that will kill
everyone luckily he chooses correctly
[Music]
number three a rat avengers end game
sticking with the mcu calling this one a
hero might be a bit of a stretch
but at least it's not a villain that
counts right
following thanos snap ant-man is trapped
in the quantum realm
the shrinking superhero is only released
from it after a rat crawls across his
van's dashboard
and accidentally presses a button that
brings ant-man back
and because ant-man returns he's able to
gather the avengers together and give
them the quantum technology that allows
them to travel back in time to get the
infinity stones to revive
everyone killed in the snap okay so the
how works
now we got to figure out the when and
the where
almost everyone in this room has had an
encounter with at least one of the six
infinity stones so half the universe owe
their lives to a rat
number two dorothy gale the wizard of oz
as a protagonist dorothy gail isn't
exactly the most proactive
her arrival in oz is by complete
happenstance and by pure luck
she lands on the wicked witch of the
east new witch has just dropped a house
on the wicked witch of the east and
there's the house
and here you are and that's all that's
left of the wicked witch of the east
the munchkins are happy to give her the
credit though this ends up backfiring
given that the witch's sister blames
dorothy too but just try to stay out of
my way
just try i'll get you my pretty
and your little dog too after following
the yellow brick road
dorothy is eventually captured by the
witch and while she's being rescued by
her new friends
she tips water onto the green villanese
of course h2o happens to cause her to
melt it seems like dorothy only gets
things done in the movie by following
basic directions and coincidentally
causing the deaths of evil witches
she did you killed her i didn't mean to
kill her

number 1 han solo star wars episode 6

rogue who has saved the day

or perhaps infamous victories happens by
accident
after being frozen in carbonite by boba
fett han is unfortunately blinded after
he's taken out of it
who are you
someone who loves you as it turns out
this temporary status turns out for the
best
jabba the hutt is about to throw han
luke and chewbacca into the sarlacc pit
when a fight breaks out
while luke engages with boba fett han is
alerted to the bounty hunter's presence
and swings
wildly he blindly hits fett's jackpack
causing it to malfunction and sending
him into the pit
great shot hand that was one in a
million
great shot kid that was one in a million
