5. Joseph Benjamin (God's Favorite): The character of Joe Benjamin is loosely based on the Biblical Job, the original schlub who had a lot of bad shit happen to him when he refused to forsake God. Much like Job, Joe is a wealthy and respected businessman. And, much like Job, all of Joe's wealth and hard-earned success goes down the shitter after Satan bets God that Joe wouldn't be such a pious dude if things went from bad to ludicrously bad. And thus Joe becomes an unwitting schlub thanks in large part to a cosmic wager between God and the Devil. Dick move? You bet! But it gives us a memorable schlub in Joseph Benjamin.
4. Barney Cashman (The Last of The Red Hot Lovers): Barney is the classic neurotic and angst-ridden schlub that would make Woody Allen's nebbish losers envious. A middle-aged married man, Barney up and decides he wants to shake things up in his life and dives headlong into the world of adultery. In classic schlub fashion, Barney uses his elderly mother's apartment to arrange his trysts, and tries three separate times to get his infidelity on. He makes a run at a chain-smoker, a pothead, and one of his buddy's neglected wives and, of course, he suffers epic fails at getting any of them in the sack.
