Surly Squirrel (The Nut Job)

Surly is a fictional animated squirrel who is the main protagonist for the The Nut Job films, he is voiced by Will Arnett.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He makes a very unlikeable protagonist in the films.
 * 2) He is very selfish as he care about himself rather than the other animals.
 * 3) He is a huge jerk to Andie and Grayson.
 * 4) He overuses the Gangnam Style song to the point where it gets old.
 * 5) He's also destructive, as he destroyed the tree where all the park animals lived as well as their food storage.
 * 6) He keeps making appalling and unfunny nut puns.
 * 7) He even farted after eating cheese from the mouse traps, which is very gross and unfunny.
 * 8) He feels like a ripoff of RJ from Over the Hedge. Only far less likable and much more rude, greedy, and egotistical.
 * 9) He's very greedy and inconsiderate, as he attempted to steal the nut cart for himself.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He did redeem himself during the final half of the first film where he states that he will continue to help the park animals by finding them more food.
 * 2) Will Arnett did a great job voicing him.
 * 3) His personality did slightly improve in the sequel, but not a whole lot.
 * 4) At least he does care about Buddy.
 * 5) His design is beautiful to look at: his purple fur is smooth and well-groomed; the face looks adorable to look at.
 * 6) At least he isn’t as bad as some other animated film protagonists like Reggie, Gene, or even Norm.
 * 7) He Sacrificed himself at the climax of the movie.
