Hal L., or simply Hal, is a minor antagonist from the 1996 American film Happy Gilmore and a cameo character in the 2020 Netflix film Hubie Halloween. He is the orderly guy in the nursing home.
Why He Should Go To Sleep
- He is very disrespectful to the elders, telling them death threats and being rude.
- He forces the elders to do activities they don't want to do.
- His behavior can be compared to Angelica Pickles from Rugrats. Both are mean to people older/younger than them but act innocent when someone comes.
- No character development for Hal L. whatsoever.
- Many characters in Happy Gilmore have had a few loathsome moments, but none surpass Hal.
- Hal doesn't want Happy's grandma to tell Happy about him, even though he does deserve to get a comeuppance.
- He doesn't care about the elders. When an old lady told him her fingers hurt from quilting, he told her a death threat.
- He gets NO comeuppance for his actions. However, it is worth noting there was a deleted scene where Happy found out what Hal did to his grandma and threw him out of the second story of the nursing home.
- He curses a lot in front of the people in the nursing home.
- He is rude, selfish, manipulative, mean-spirited, savage, antagonistic, and lacks empathy.
Redeeming Qualities
- As said in WHS #8, he got comeuppance in a deleted scene.
- His portrayal by Ben Stiller was pretty funny and enjoyable to watch.
- His cameo in Hubie Halloween was an unexpected and funny surprise, where he was overall a much better character than he was in Happy Gilmore.
