Joe La Boot (The Simpsons)

Joe LaBoot is a one-time character from The Simpsons, who appeared in "The Boys of Bummer".

Why He Stinks
'''NOTE: This is only focusing on what he did in "The Boys of Bummer". Do not add the fact that he dropped an easy ball, this does not make him unlikable to the fans, but it is seen in the Redeeming Qualities'''
 * 1) He is not one of those "comfort people who had the same problem as our hero" characters.
 * 2) He does not care about Bart Simpson or the fact that he and Bart had the same problem.
 * 3) "Bart? Are you Bart Simpson? The kid who dropped that easy fly-ball? You stink like a Dutchman's throw-up! Talking to you was the biggest error of my life!" is the most beyond cruel thing that he said to Bart. You know, talking to him wasn't the biggest error of your life, It's how you treated him that is the biggest error of your life!
 * 4) He may have a tragic backstory about being hated by the fans by dropping an easy fly-ball, but due to his horrible insult he said to Bart, he is considered an Unsympathetic Character.
 * 5) Since he insulted Bart, he is now a filler character.
 * 6) Aside from being insulted by Abe Simpson, he doesn't get any comeuppance for driving Bart into attempting suicide, meaning he's a Karma Houdini.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) As mentioned before, he had a tragic backstory about being hated by the fans for dropping an easy fly-ball at the World Series.
 * 2) He tried to save Bart from jumping off the water tower, so at least he tried to redeem himself.
 * 3) Abe Simpson's insult to him was great and very well-deserved, but this still doesn't kick him of the Karma Houdini category.
