Vote for the biggest bumbler! (read post first)

[Gracie]

Alright, now...so there is no confusion, READ THIS BEFORE VOTING!

bumbler definition: Someone who makes mistakes because of incompetence; To bungle or botch; To speak in a faltering manner; To move, act, or proceed clumsily.

Most minions are bumblers, but these stand out more than others as being the WORST! Vote for the biggest bumbler from these 8 choices. I have listed a few things to state their defense in case you don't know who they are, don't remember them, or just never saw the movie.

• Creeper (The Black Cauldron)---His villain was The Horned King. He had an annoying voice, a big eye, and constantly grovelled at his master's feet. A famous line he constantly said? "It--it wasn't my fault!" Famous action? He was constantly strangled by his master.
  
  
• Snoops (The Rescuers)---His villain was Madame Medusa. He was a short, balding, fat man with glasses and a stammer when he got nervous, which was often. He always gave in to Medusa like a good little minion, was put in charge of the crocodiles Brutus and Nero-whom he was afraid of, and couldn't control Penny-the little girl they had kidnapped. Famous action? Being yelled at by Madame Medusa, most of the time "SNOOPS!!!!"

[/i]

[/li][li]Mister Smee (Peter Pan)---His villain was Captain Hook. He was a short, balding, fat pirate with small glasses, a stuttering problem when nervous or scared, and an often cheery disposition. He took everything the Cap'n said at face value, even when the Cap'n didn't say it and nearly shot him down once. He's hit his Cap'n in the head with a hammer, thought he shaved off the Cap'n's head, and bashed the Cap'n while trying to hit Tick Tock-the croc. Famous thing said about him? "You blithering idiot!" by Captain Hook.

[/li][li]Pain, Panic (Hercules)---Their villain was Hades. They were a couple of, well, demon-like creatures that could change into anything they want. They couldn't handle the simple task of making a god mortal and then killing him, even though he was only a baby. Their incompetance caused Hades to flare up repeatedly. A famous line? "WE ARE LIKE WORMS!" Famous action done to them? Hades squeezing their necks tight enough to kill them (if they could die).

[/li][li]Shenzi, Banzai, Ed (The Lion King)---Their villain was Scar. They were hyenas, two could speak, one couldn't. They couldn't handle the task of killing an itty bitty lion cub, and constantly fell over each other when frightened. A famous position for these guys? Huddled together.

[/li][li]Fidget (The Great Mouse Detective)---His villain was Ratigan. He was a peg-legged bat with a deep voice and an ugly face only a mother could love. He was sent to do errands for his master--one being to kidnap a little mouse--which he often messed up a bit. Famous line? "OW! My foot! My only foot!"

[/li][li]Molt (A Bug's Life)---His villain was his brother, Hopper. He was a heavy set grasshopper who stumbled his lines a bit. He went along with everything Hopper told him because he wasn't that bright. Famous lines said to him by Hopper? "I swear, if I hadn't promised Mother on her deathbed that I wouldn't kill you, I would kill you!" and "First rule of leadership: everything is your fault."

[/li][li]LeFou (Beauty and the Beast)---His villain was Gaston. He was a short, fat, frumpy, dopey looking guy with a ponytail and buck teeth. He followed Gaston around like a dumb little puppy, doing everything the guy asked him to do--including waiting in snow for Belle and her father to come home. Famous position for him to be in? Gaston grabbing him by the collar, then tossing him down.[/li][/ul]

I listed the bumblers alphabetically on the poll, so go ahead! Find your choice for the biggest bumbler and VOTE! (Please bear in mind this is NOT a favourites poll. You could be voting for a least favourite minion and still think he is/they are the biggest bumbler.)

Oh yes--and one more thing! Don't forget to post why you picked that minion.

LeFou because I just went and watched the movie and saw how clumsy, doofy, and well... bumbling he was. Maybe if I watch the other movies, I'll remember how bumbling they are... But no, LeFou takes the cake so far. Besides, when you think of the word "bumbling" - he just fits the image.

[Meg]

In all seriousness...I think Fidget. I was thinking of LeFou...but I dunno...Fidget has the peg leg that gets stuck in floor holes when walking, his voice is so messed up, and he lost that list.

[Katya]

I say Fidget, because after all, he was the one to start most things, not just mess them up. Very bumbly to me.

[Jillian]

I just recently saw Great Mouse Detective again for the first time in quite a while. Figet was definately a big bumbler!!

[Gracie]

So far 3 votes. Anyone else?

ok, I chose Pain and Panic because they had to be the stupidest. They, like most of the others, couldn't do anything right.

Really, I should just tell you why I didn't choose the others -- it's important to understanding why I chose these two idiots.

First, I did not choose Shenzi, Banzai, or Ed because, to tell you the truth, I don't think they were bumblers, but self-absorbed comic relief in the form of scavengers/hunters.

I didn't choose Smee, Snoops, LeFou, Molt, or Fidget because they all rank the same on my estimation -- all complete minions who can't do anything right.


Though Pain and Panic come close to being the equals of these famous bumblers, the fact is they were actually worse because they never came as close to getting it right as the others.
