37. Navin Johnson
The Jerk
Navin Johnson is an idiot.
Defining momen
Okay wait, I guess I should talk more about Navin. Adopted at a very young age by a poor black family, Navin was distraught when he learned he would stay the same color he decides to set out on his own, embarking on a series of misadventures, going from rags to riches back to rags.
Unlike Brick Tamland or Carl Spackler, Navin is a moron but he's a caring guy. A gullible shmuck with a heart of gold and a hidden talent for invention, creating the eyeglass holder known as Opti-Grab. That's the great thing about Navin Johnson to me, his innocent simplicity: a man who thought he was black until he reached adulthood, a man who called a dog "Shithead" only because someone suggested it, a man who loves Thermoses.
Defining moment: Finally a someone now that his name is in the phone book (its in print), a crazed gunman picks Navin's name at random. A terrible shot, he misses everytime he fires at Navin, each time hitting some oil cans. First thinking the cans are defective, Navin soon realizes the gunman hates the cans.
