experience education training who needs
any of that stuff no I’m not a licensed
teacher but I have been touched by your
kids welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 movie characters who are
unqualified to do their job before we
begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
movie characters that were uneducated
untrained or otherwise inexperienced for
the career as they took on my name’s
Stanley Goodspeed on the chemical
weapons specialist for the FBI we’re not
judging how well they performed these
jobs in fact in many cases they’re
better than trained professionals we’re
just looking at how prepared they were
for their work you don’t know how to do
your job by now I am not about to do it
for you number 10 William Miller almost
famous I’m getting good stuff out here
sometimes people are under qualified for
a job but they get the position thanks
to perseverance and enthusiasm in other
cases people can land a job by flat-out
lying about their qualifications or more
simply their age your background William
you a journalism major yeah however a 15
year old following an up-and-coming rock
band around the country for Rolling
Stone is likely a recipe for disaster
it’s not a full-blown missing-persons
case William Miller played by Patrick
Fugit is undeniably intelligent a great
writer and clearly displays mature taste
in music for his age I really love your
band
I think the song fever dog is a big step
forward for you guys and you guys
producing it yourselves instead of Glyn
John’s that was the right thing to do
however he also can’t grow a beard and
even by early 1970 standards is way too
young to be exposed to the full-blown
party lifestyle of rock stars no no no
I’ll only miss one text I’ll be back for
graduating with your sleeve to the
groove you can’t help it number 9
winston zeddemore ghostbusters great
when someone asks you if you’re a god
see yes fun fact Winston was originally
written as a former Marine with not one
but multiple degrees and a PhD under his
belt unfortunately was decided that the
fourth Ghostbuster needed to fill the
everyman role in the film do you believe
in UFOs astral projections mental
telepathy ESP clairvoyance spirit
photography telekinetic movement full
transformations the Loch Ness monster in
the theory of Atlantis if there’s a
steady paycheck in it I believe anything
you say
this meant that amid all the scientific
mumbo-jumbo being spouted by the three
scientists there would be someone to
represent the audience’s need for
simplified explanations as a result
Winston lost his backstory and instead
became the likable man who was just
looking for a paycheck dolphins I gotta
get my own lawyer honestly none of the
Ghostbusters seems qualified to be
handling equipment with such potentially
devastating effects but Winston is
hands-down the least suitable of the
bunch job is definitely not worth
another five a year number eight alfredo
linguine ratatouille not who is that
Oh him he’s nobody if only life were as
simple as ratatouille do you dream of
working as a neurosurgeon astronaut or
architect but not only do you have zero
formal training in the field you’re also
particularly bad at it just find a rat
with an uncanny knack for the profession
put them under your hat and have him
control you like a giant marionette I
was close
you Campton
linguini is pretty much the worst cook
to ever set foot in Gusteau’s restaurant
and if it weren’t for its little buddy
Remy he’d still be the garbage boy
Linguini’s father may have been a
world-famous chef but his impressively
bad instincts when it comes to cooking
show that something simply cannot be
passed down genetically I’d loved
whether little talk would you
distinguish analysis am I in trouble
father
yo ho ho number seven Stanley Goodspeed
the rock most pressure rated practice
Hollywood’s got a soft spot for the zero
to hero character arc sure Stanley
Goodspeed is a respected scientist and
he’s no stranger to danger given that
he’s the leading chemical weapons expert
for the FBI but when it comes to armed
combat he’s as big of a zero as you can
find and there isn’t a training montage
in the world good enough to make us
believe he can take down a team of rogue
Marines see we have some dirty magazines
stony edge cave girls in the raw
these aren’t your run-of-the-mill
minimum-wage henchman hired to function
as cannon fodder
these guys are elite killing machines
but miraculously this lab rat somehow
becomes proficient in armed combat and
stealth tactics in the nick of time I’m
one of those fortunate people who like
my job sir
number six Billy Ray Valentine Trading
Places right Danny so just like the
motherfuck I mean you look just like the
gentleman that had me busted this role
originally written for Richard Pryor
went on to earn Eddie Murphy much praise
from critics that’s called the quarter
blood technique do that a quarter blur
to drop out of person but as part of a
nature versus nurture bet a poor hustler
from the streets of Philadelphia Billy
Ray Valentine and the managing director
of a brokerage firm switched places as
you can imagine hilarity ensues but
surprisingly Billy rises to the occasion
and somehow manages to prosper in his
new position I can think of three real
good reasons why you shouldn’t do
something like that judge one the
Russian rehab isn’t gonna be as bad as
everybody thinks
we can believe his street smarts and
hustling skills translate well to the
business world but he is unbelievably
inexperienced to be successfully working
in stocks Eddie Murphy himself admitted
to staying totally on script for the
final stock market scene as he found the
technical stock related stuff confusing
he Lewis bet me that we couldn’t both
get rich and put y’all in the poorhouse
at the same time you think we could do
it I want number five jakesully avatar
so uh
the list of ways in which jakesully
defies expectations as an operator of an
avi human hybrid is lengthy how much
have you logged yes I read a manual tell
me you’re joking
first off most of the scientist drivers
undergo extensive training to become
comfortable controlling one of these
bodies not only does he become
comfortable within minutes of taking
control he also displays unparalleled
control of the motor function and that’s
just the start Jake before long he’s
proving himself to be an almost more
dexterous Navi than native Navi warriors
he even goes on to woo the woman who
originally was going to shoot an arrow
through the back of his head either Jake
is very good at role-playing or he’s the
luckiest paraplegic in the galaxy
there’s no such thing as an ex-marine
maybe out but you never lose the
attitude
number four Erin Brokovich Erin
Brokovich so before you come back here
with another lame-ass offer I want you
to think real hard about what your spine
is worth this is a bit of an odd one why
because as unqualified as Erin Brokovich
may have been it’s based on a true story
and the real Erin Brockovich was no less
impressive than her on-screen
representation as played by Julia
Roberts I want you to know something
Eddie it is not about the number it is
about the way my work is valued in this
firm Erin Brokovich his own website
calls the movie 98% accurate an
unemployed mother of three loses her
court case after being injured in an
accident and begins working at her
lawyer’s office to make ends meet in her
clerical work she uncovers information
that results in a massive class action
lawsuit a lawsuit in which despite a
sweet lack of formal education she plays
an instrumental role in running things
how I have no brains or illegal
expertise and Edie here was losing all
face misses to memory oh yeah completely
no faith no thing
I just went out there and performed
sexual favors 634 blowjobs in five days
unqualified definitely but more
importantly unbelievably impressive for
the first time in my life I got people
respecting me number three
Dewey Finn School of Rock so how’s this
gonna work are you gonna pay me upfront
I I don’t understand it’d be really
great if I could get paid now in cash
we’ve all had to suffer through some
high school teachers who seemed
seriously unqualified in all fairness
they probably were qualified just
painfully boring boring is one thing the
Dewey Finn most certainly is not
but he’s without a doubt unqualified to
teach all right look here’s the deal
I’ve got to hang over who knows what
that means doesn’t I mean you’re drunk
first of all he’s not actually a
substitute teacher in fact he’s
committing identity fraud by taking his
roommates identity then is it to confirm
just how unqualified he is he proceeds
to pretty much ignore the school’s
regular curriculum in favor of teaching
the kids to be an awesome rock band the
guitar picks you pluck along with me
okay if you can it may be one of Jack
Black’s best roles but in real life the
idea of a grown man impersonating a
teacher and sneaking into a school is
pretty unnerving I pledge allegiance to
the band of mr. schneebly
number to the drillers armaggedon hey
Dylan uh don’t you know I mean
considering I’ve never been this scared
in my entire life let’s be clear we
aren’t saying that deep-sea oil drillers
aren’t skilled it seems like grueling
work that requires a strong hand and
plenty of experience but you’ve got to
be crazy to think that it’s easier to
Train drillers to be competent
astronauts than to Train astronauts to
be drillers why do I do this because the
money is good the scenery changes and
even
use explosives okay astronauts have
plenty of experience with complex
sensitive machinery they also have the
advantage of being comfortable working
in space once again why choose to put
competent people into realistic roles in
the plot of your film when you’ve got
the classic Hollywood fallback a
training montage Neil Armstrong 1969
bouncing on the moon bouncing because
there’s less gravity up there than on
earth
an unconventional hiring choice is one
thing but not with the fate of the world
resting in their hands thank you daddy
may we all citizens the world over see
these events through Godspeed
and good luck to you before we unveil
our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions I never like to
galacticon shit
you only get one robot and they don’t
come with the vehicle Dave the country
is sick
and you’re going to get it to the
hospital I take my naughty fetch and I
don’t
Oh number 1 Frank Abagnale jr. catch me
if you can from 1964 to 1967 I
successfully impersonated an airline
pilot for Pan Am airways and I flew over
2 million miles for free during that
time I was also the chief resident
pediatrician at a Georgia hospital we’ve
seen some unqualified characters but no
one has so actively sought out positions
for which they are painfully unqualified
as the teenaged Frank Abagnale jr. who
also happens to be a con artist and
impersonator my name is Alan Barry Allen
knighted States Secret Service your boy
just tried to jump out the window my
partner has him in custody I don’t know
what you’re talking about he’s an
impressive man to be honest and what’s
the harm in a con if no one gets hurt
well unfortunately his lofty ambitions
did put people in harm’s way
he started simple impersonating a
teacher but then moved on to positions
only held by highly skilled
professionals as a pilot he could have
killed countless passengers as a doctor
people trusted him with their health as
a prosecutor he actually passed the bar
exam which just adds to this already
unbelievable true story ladies and
gentlemen of the jury this is
irrefutable evidence that the defendant
is in fact line
