The Dudeism Forum

I know it'll open up a whole can of worms if you start admitting fictional characters to the list of Great Dudes in History but there are definitely some that not only meet but go beyond the criteria. The first fictional Dude that comes to mind is Homer J. Simpson. Homer is always up for an adventure (he's had almost 400 of them) and has a tendency to get caught up in the spirit of the moment. He has an almost-holy reverence for food and drink, and enjoys nothing more than lounging in his hammock with an ice-cold Duff resting on his genitals. He's been an astronaut, baseball mascot, endzone dance choreographer, Krusty the Clown look-alike, automobile designer, freak-show attraction, barbershop quartet singer, eater of hallucenogenic peppers, professional boxer, navy reservist, bootlegger, pie-throwning super hero, etc. He even has a mantra "Mmmmm...(food item)." So if you're thinking of adding any fictional characters please consider Homer Simpson.     

How about the Furry Freak Brothers? Or, just Freewheelin' Franklin?
famous quote:
"Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through time of no dope."

I gotta put the kabosh on Homer as a Dude.    He takes shit WAY to serious and gets way too bent outta shape about stuff.   Never mind that he works for the man at a nuke plant.   


Being a drunk tool don't make you a Dude.   Homer might like him some beer but he don't have the 'tude to be a Dude. 

I don't like the Simpsons, i mean nobody there is a dudeist, ya know. In fact like a fictional character they're very famous, they're are on Burger king man, a serious enemy for In-n-out.

Is very true man, Homer doesn't have the actitude to be a dude. So...

Now, Snoopy is considerate for our church you know (The church of the latter day dude) like a really dudeist.
Maybe the Pink panther is a dudeist too.

In a Shomer Shabbas way. I was trying to say " like a REAL  dudeist"...

Maybe there just needs to be a category for famous fictional Dudes.  For that I'd echo someone's sentiments when I nominate Winnie the Pooh.  Also worthy of note is Speedy Gonzales' cousin Slowpoke Rodriguez.

I'd also nominate Hank Hill.  Now I know what you're going to say, like Homer he takes things too seriously and has on occasion a quick temper.  BUT I believe that if left to his own devices he'd be pretty chill, barbecuing, educating people in propane and propane accessories and tending his lawn.  And if you'll recall from The Big Lebowski even The Dude himself got worked up when people - to quote someone I loathe - harshed his gig.  Even Jesus tossed that church that was housing gambling.  So...

In that case, the natural candidate is certain to be; Mr Natural:

Garfeild, man. What other guy/cat do you know that spends his days being lazy, sleeping, and watching the tube? He's one of my favorite fictional characters.
