You can spell it with a "cc" and an "i", or a "ck" and a "y." Whatever way you spell it, this one special word has made quite the impression as of recently, and has been apart of your life far before high school was even a thought. If you don't know what I'm talking about already, I'm talking about the infamous "fuckboy".
Now, if you've lived under a rock for the past couple of years, or somehow managed to avoid the internet and social media, first, let me congratulate you and say bless you for accomplishing such a feat. Second, let me enlighten you. According to Urban Dictionary, my go-to source for information, a "fuckboy" is defined as "guy who does shit that generally pisses the population of the earth off all the time. He will also lead girls on just for hookups, says hes really into you but doesn't want to deal with all the "relationship bullshit". Basically, he's the guy that won't text you until 2 am, shouldn't ever meet your parents, and probably has you in his phone as "sidepiece #34" or "brunette with big boobs" (hypothetically speaking and totally not speaking from experience, of course).
That's not all. I have another bomb to drop on you. These fuckboys have been around your whole life and and you probably just haven't noticed it. That's where I come in. I'm here to call out all the fuckboys you've seen on tv and in movies because that's what you've gotta do to stop a fuckboy: call him out on his shit. Trust me, he'll never see it coming.
So, without further ado, here is my list ranking of the media's biggest fuckboys (in no particular order):
*Spoiler Alerts Ahead*
1. Gaston, from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast"
Ugh. Just look at those "impressive" muscles. He's like that guy you always see at the gym who's muscles are so giant that he can't walk with his arms at his sides. Gross. He's more Michellin Man, less Macho Man.
Gaston's Offenses: 1. He's WAY too into himself. 2. He ignores Belle's blatant disinterest in him, which is a pretty rapey quality if you ask me (but alas, this is a Disney movie and that might be a little too much to tackle in an hour and a half) 3. He makes fun of Belle's intelligence-never dumb yourself down for a guy ever.
2. Hans, from Disney's "Frozen"
Loving touch. Condescending tone. Fuckboy.
I got so mad when I saw Hans do this to Anna. I wanted to jump out of my seat and through the screen because I was so pissed that he told Anna no one actually loved her as she was ABOUT TO DIE. I love you Anna!
*Fuckboy tip*- When something/someone feels too good to be true, it usually is. And when someone proposes on the first date? RUN AWAY-but take the ring if it's real ;)
Hans' Offenses: 1. Leading on an innocent girl. 2. General lying/ being shady
3. Joey, from "Friends"
I mean, come on. "How you doin?" is just another version of the 2am "sup".
Sorry Friends fans: Joey's a fuckboy. One of his biggest catchphrases is him hitting on women. While he may mask it by being a total goofball and a little dumb, he's still a low-key fuckboy and that's the worst kind.
Joey's Offenses: 1. Liking Rachel, a girl who was already involved with his best friend 2. Hitting on a different woman every episode 3. Covering up his total fuckboyness with charm and innocence. Classic fuckboy move.
4. Schmidt, from "New Girl"
How bout we just take a moment to call you out on being a fuckboy instead?Schmidt is in a very similar situation to Joey. He's likeable, and undoubtedly attractive, as most fuckboys are. He definitely plays the goofy, nice-guy card well when he wants to, I'll give him that. However, his biggest passion in life is himself. He says the stupidest stuff all the time, which is why his roommates even have a douchebag jar for him to put money in every time he says something douchey, which as you probably guessed, is often.
Schmidt's Offenses: He's got too many offenses to name. Just please binge a couple of episodes and you'll know what I'm talking about.
5. Lord Farquaad, from Dreamworks' "Shrek"
You know what's rude? Interrupting a wedding. But, back at ya Farquaad, no one wants you here either.
Lord Farquaad's Offenses: 1. Interrupting a wedding. 2. Having people kill themselves and fight over his selfish goals of marrying a princess, not for love, but to become a King.
6. Ted, from "Bridesmaids"
The typical fuckboy move is to "courteously" get a taxi (like one of the ~gentlemen~ from the Jersey Shore) but Ted takes it to a whole new level and is super upfront and honest with Annie. How nice.
Ted's Offenses: 1. Asks for a bj from Annie when he "saves" the day and picks her up from the side of the dusty road. 2. Totally selfish in bed (no surprise here) 3. Lillian (Annie's bestie) is always suspicious of Ted and never really liked him. That's a bad sign when your best friend doesn't like your hookup-there's probably a good reason.
7. Philip Stuckey, from "Pretty Woman"
I'm just as confused as you a Jason Alexander. Just wait.
This one is a bit of a throwback but still a really great fuckboy, trust me. Or the worst fuckboy, I'm not sure.
Philip's Offenses: 1. How'd he know Lillian (Julia Roberts) if he wasn't trying to pick up a prostitute himself? Asking for directions my ass. 2. Doesn't take no for an answer, ignores her obvious uneasiness when he comes to the hotel door, and then tries to rape her. Enough said. Rape (attempted rape too) is NEVER ok. I've decided. He's officially the worst.
8. (Glenn) Quagmire, from "Family Guy"
I'm not sure how much Meg ages in the show, but some internet sleuthing says she is assumed to be 15 since the show's start. Sorry Quagmire you're not just creepy, you're on your way to committing a crime if you keep coming on to Meg like that.
Also similar to Joey, his main catch phrase is centered around sex. Giggity Giggity is his way of either saying he thinks someone/something is bangable or his way of calling out something not intended to sound sexual but actually does (think "that's what she said").
Quagmire's Offenses: 1. He's hit on Meg, his best friend's daughter. 2. He's hit on Lois, his best friend's WIFE. 3. He hits on everything that moves, man, woman, even dog. 4. When/if he finally does sleep with someone, they're more of an object than a person
9. Chris Brander, from "Just Friends"
My favorite fuckboy *insert heart eyes emoji here*
Wait! Wait! I'll explain. He is still totally the worst for most of the movie, but there's a happy ending that I know about and that's why I love him. I love him for he who finally changed into, not who was the majority of the movie.
He's a special case, like I said, because you get a rare glimpse into him pre-fuckboy. He used to be a pretty fat, nerdy, generally unattractive guy in the movie and had the hugest crush on his best girl friend Jamie Pallamino. Time fast forwards, he loses weight and becomes a big shot in Hollywood. Hilarity ensues.
He's the one case who isn't totally a fuckboy to the core- he's acting how he thinks he had to to get the girl of his dreams, but don't get me wrong, he still exhibits many a fuckboy behavior-until he changes his ways. Watch the movie y'all, it's a great mid 2000's classic.
Chris's Offenses: 1. He's a total Hollywood playboy-even in the trailer- he's surrounded by girls, and seems to only be able to flirt with them or look at their boobs. 2. One of the movie's main plots is getting the girl- not marrying her, but sleeping with her, to finally solve all of his high school insecurities and friend-zone issues.
Ok, so there it is. My fictional fuckboy list.
This list is in no way comprehensive because thats the thing about fuckboys- once you pull one out, ten more pop up. And remember, these are fictional fuckboys, which is why we watch them, so we can love to hate them from a far. But they all are excellent examples of real fuckboy qualities that you HAVE to look out for.
Phew! It's done. Now time to erase all of these fuckboy gifs off of my computer. Forever.
