Nonsensical Weekend Poll: Bad Boys


Everyone loves a good bad boy – that is, the guy who is the cool, dangerous outsider, but secretly good at heart. Or maybe not so good at heart. Inspired by Angie’s fabulous post this week about the “Bad Boy” archetype, we decided to give a few of our favorites for this edition of our Nonsensical Weekend Poll.

For this week’s ponderings: Which Movie/TV Bad Boy Makes You Wanna Break All The Rules?

John Bender – The Breakfast Club

James Stark – Rebel Without A Cause

Spike – Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Wade “Cry-Baby” Walker – Cry-Baby

Dexter Morgan – Dexter (Ok, technically he’s not the quintessential “bad boy” – he really is messed up. But he’s DEXTER.)

Don Draper – Mad Men

Han Solo – Star Wars

Rhett Butler – Gone With the Wind

Danny Zuko – Grease

Malcolm “Mal” Reynolds – Firefly

Wolverine – X-Men

James Bond – James Bond

Johnny Castle – Dirty Dancing

Captain Jack Sparrow – Pirates of the Caribbean

Ren McCormack – Footloose



James “Sawyer” Ford – LOST

Obviously, you know where Ana and I fall on the spectrum…

But what about you? Which heroes (or villains) of the “bad boy” archetype are your favorites in film, television, or literature?
