Napoleon Dynamite

Napoleon Dynamite is the titular character of the 2004 Jared Hess comedy film. He was played by Jon Heder.

Why He Goshdang Rocks

 * 1) Napoleon Dynamite is a very nice man, especially to Pedro.
 * 2) He has a liking of tater tots, which are now a popular snack outside of Idaho.
 * 3) Instead of cursing, he uses clever euphemisms like “gosh” and “dang”.
 * 4) A lot of his lines are highly quotable including “Whatever I feel like I wanna do, gosh!” and “I’ve been practicing some dance moves.”
 * 5) Even though he isn’t explicitly stated to be autistic, he is very relatable to autistic people due to the fact that he lacks some social skills.
 * 6) His dancing skills are very impressive. The crowd at the Preston High School gave him a standing ovation for performing for Pedro’s election.
 * 7) He is considered to be Jon Heder’s most iconic role.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He can overuse his euphemisms, which is justified because the movie is rated PG.
 * 2) In the animated series, he shows too much emotions.

Trivia

 * Jon Heder reprised his role in a 2016 Burger King commercial that promoted tater tots.
