The 13 Biggest Movie Dickheads
6. Ted McGinley (left) as Stan Gable
Revenge of the Nerds, 1984His Look: Blond, tan, athletically built, teeth whiter than the sun
Why He’s a Dick: As the sweater-vest-wearing president of the Greek council and quarterback of the college football team, he torments a bunch of geeks just looking for peace, respect, and most important, a piece of ass.
Defining Line: “What are you looking at, nerd?”
His Downfall: Right after the nerds win the big interfraternity competition, Stan’s chesty sorority girlfriend dumps him for one of the nerds. Cue that obnoxious chortle.
You know the guy: that cocky, humorless, obscenely rich jerk-off. The blond-haired blue blood who no one seems to realize is a total douche bag. He’s got the beautiful girl (whom he flagrantly cheats on), and because of the dollar signs attached to his name, he has her father, too. He’s ungracious, undeserving, and unredeemable, a cretin who rejoices in making life hell for the little people. And yet you love watching him. Call him the Movie Dick—a staple of so many ’80s films and several in the decades to follow. And the reason we love him is simple: We know what’s coming to him.
