Procrastination is the putting off of an unpleasant task until the last minute. It's quite common. Hell, if you are reading this, you probably are procrastinating right now. The Ridiculous Procrastinator is someone — often someone very capable — who does this to such ridiculous extremes that it is almost funny. They will put off writing a 10,000-word paper until the night before it is due, and once they sit down to start it, rhey will find half a million petty tasks that do not need to be done to avoid writing that paper. Often, they will find that the assignment practically writes itself once he gets going. Some common tactics of the Ridiculous Procrastinator include sharpening pencils, constantly checking email, cleaning, feeding the pets, talking on the phone (bonus points if they talk about the task), reading TV Tropes (bonus bonus points if they're reading this page) and basically anything that they can do to avoid doing what they have to do. When they finally begin working (usually when they realize they only have about an hour left to finish), they begin working like The Flash after drinking 12 pots of coffee. In some cases, they finish their project at the last minute, run like madmen to their class (or workplace, or what have you), only to find out that the deadline's been changed, or the project's been canceled, meaning they've done all that work for nothing. Most procrastinators are aware they have a problem and intend to correct their Fatal Flaw. They'll get right on it tomorrow. There are a ton more examples beyond those listed below, including: ... bah, we'll add them later, we got time, you wanna shoot some hoops or get something to eat? |

Bojack Horseman: In the first season, the titular character is given nearly two years to write his memoir, but never produces a word, which leads to him hiring a ghostwriter. Even in his last-ditch effort to write it all in a week, he distracts himself by cleaning, making coffee, taking a bath and playing with the fonts on his computer. Of course, it's just as much a result of his crippling self-consciousness as it is his inherent laziness. | |

Angeline/Angie from biotop fits the trope to a T. Despite being given the job by her superior to fulfil the wishes of 100 people across Japan, Angie spends most of the manga doing absolutely nothing, to the complete dismay of her aide Mouton/Muu. | |

Bleak Expectations: Despite being a purportedly brilliant novelist, Pip Bin runs into this trope in the fifth series, after getting into a "novel-off" with Charles Dickens (actually his arch-nemesis in disguise). Pip spends most of the allotted year drinking coffee, reading the encyclopaedia, drinking more coffee, staring forlornly out of hotel windows, having several dozen more coffees, and doing nothing in particular. Meanwhile, his best friend, sister, and wife all manage to write their own novels, with the latter two becoming instantly famous for what they've written (a cookery book and a sordid romance novel called Fifty Shades of Hay). Eventually, Pip just decides to steal his best friend's attempt. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has Genli. While her younger sister Kheel is trying to get her and their three other sisters to go to music practice, Genli is insistent that she get to eat some salmon meuniere first, not because she's particularly hungry, but because she's using it as an excuse to skip music practice. She's even secretly glad that Divine Beast Vah Medoh was threatening Rito Village recently because she can use it as an excuse to not go to music practice. | |

Sam Malone did this on Cheers once. Diane made them take a break for a week to figure out what the relationship was, and he spent the week partying with his friends, claiming that, even as a relief pitcher, he was known for 'coming through in the clutch', and that he worked better under a deadline. He was wrong. | |

The Simpsons: Lisa decides to write a novel and does absolutely anything she could to avoid actually writing. Bart also has shades of this. From "Postcards from the Wedge": "The Trouble with Trillions": Inverted when Ned Flanders begins preparing his taxes after midnight on New Year's Day. Played straight with everyone else in Springfield, who only started filing their taxes at the last minute before deadline, and the reason Homer's whole dilemma occurs is that he was the one who waited the most out of the whole city (rushingly bundling all of his badly-filled forms into a bundle shaped like a football (which made it roll into the audit bin at the IRS) and actually having to toss it into the outgoing mail pile through the closing office's doors). |

Adventures in Odyssey: "Isaac the Procrastinator": Isaac is a bright student, except for one thing - he always procrastinates. He now has three projects he's put off all needing his attention - a history paper, a geometry project, and an art assignment for the local newspaper - and his friends have just about had enough. Mr. Whittaker diagnoses Isaac with "chronic procrastinitis" and tells him there's only one cure: to buckle down and get to work. "A Test for Robyn": Robyn puts off studying for a major history test - so much that she can't even answer simple questions about the material in class - and is forced to cram the night before. On the day of the test, she's confident at first but goes blank during the test and resorts to cheating. Afterward, she tearfully confesses and is allowed to retake the test because of her honesty, and resolves to study for tests way in advance from now on. |

Shirobako has Director Kinoshita, whose Writer's Block and perfectionism cause him to delay everything to the last minute, from drawing storyboards, to deciding whether to do an explosion in CG or animate it traditionally, to deciding the plot of the Exodus finale. Internet legend has it that a legendarily bad episode of his previous project Jiggly Heaven was delivered five minutes before it was scheduled to air. When this is brought up in person, he vehemently denies it: it was in fact delivered ten minutes before airtime. | |

The title character in Hamlet decides to kill Claudius early on, but spends much of the story fooling around and killing other characters. He finally does it near the end (and if Laertes hadn't imposed a half-hour deadline in the last scene, who knows whether he'd have done it then, either). Part of the reason for this is given as him waiting until he's absolutely certain that Claudius is guilty (reasonable enough, although that doesn't really explain why he needs to also fake insanity) and then refusing to kill Claudius at prayer after said guilt is established (as that would mean Claudius would go to heaven). On the other hand, it does take Hamlet a ridiculously long time to actually set up his plan to figure out if Claudius did, in fact, kill his father. | |

Dilbert: Wally is a master of this trope, minus the part about doing anything. In one comic, he convinces the Pointy-Haired Boss to not give him any projects for the next year as he's working on the WDNW project, which he says "prevents the 1s and 0s in the code from becoming 10s". He buys it, and Wally points out that the PHB never realized that the full name of the project was the Wally Does No Work Project. The PHB has similar tendencies. He once tells Dilbert that an assignment is urgent, and Dilbert says it's only urgent because everything sits on the PHB's desk until it becomes either moot or a crisis. The PHB even stacks them in bins labeled "Aging", "Crisis", and "Moot". The PHB is so miffed by Dilbert figuring out his system that he vows to give him nothing but the "Moots". In fact, several of the engineers (Including Wally) have figured out how to determine if an assignment will ultimately end up as a "Moot", and thus can safely ignore it. |

Calvin is always like this when it comes to his schoolwork—assuming that he bothers doing it at all, he'll always put off doing an assignment until the absolute last possible minute (he actually once completely forgot about an assignment until the day it was due, despite having at least a month to work on it). To name some specific examples: When Calvin is assigned to give a report on the brain, he gets three days to prepare for it—he writes it on the bus on the way to school the day it's due. Unsurprisingly, his report is not nearly long enough to last all the way through the five-minute presentation. In one story arc, Calvin is paired up with Susie for a project on Mercury. Despite Susie's constant reminders and being given a week to do it, he only starts working on it the very morning of the presentation at school. Susie is not pleased by Calvin's half of the presentation. Another time, Calvin comes home chattering to Mom about how he has to make a desert life diorama in a shoebox for school. Mom, suspicious, asks when the assignment is due. Calvin tells her, "It was due today, but I told the teacher I wasn't quite finished." Calvin once went on an epic flight of fancy. When his mother comes in to see if he's doing his homework, he cheerfully replies: "I've almost started!" In one story, he's given two weeks to collect fifty different leaves for a school project, but he outright refuses to work on it until late into the evening before the day it's due. He then gets mad at his mom for not taking him to the arboretum twenty minutes before it closes, while she's busy preparing dinner, and when he gets the chance to pawn the project off to a pair of aliens, gets upset at them for arriving at the very last minute late at night. Another story arc had Calvin wake up from a nightmare and realizing he forgot to do his math homework. He's saved by a snow day, but rather than do his homework, he goes out and plays the whole day, and only laments the wasted opportunity at bedtime. He's saved yet again the next day when the teacher forgets to collect the homework but goes out to play again instead of touching his homework. In a different story arc, Calvin had to write an argumentative essay. He wastes the entire day on irrelevant tangents and flights of fancy, such as making an intelligence-enhancing device that didn't really make him any smarter than before and drawing useless doodles, and his bedtime arrives before he's even put a single word on paper. His mom gives him an extra thirty minutes to put something together, but he wastes even that complaining about how it's his mom's fault his essay's quality will suffer. The report is, unsurprisingly, awful, but his teacher shows him pity and raises his grade from a D- to a D. Unfortunately, this results in Calvin learning the lesson that "smooth-talking the teacher really pays off" rather than learning that he shouldn't procrastinate. |

The Big Finish Doctor Who audio play "The Kingmaker" involves the Fifth Doctor being attacked by a time-travelling killer robot owned by a publishing company, there to force him to write a children's book he was contractually obligated to finish by threatening to kill him if he doesn't. The Doctor admits to having run off with his advance and done very little work but claims to enjoy writing, saying he was just struggling to get on with it. We only realise just how bad he's been at getting on with it when he goes to replay his voice notes from the last time he worked on it, and his voice sounds significantly deeper and more Tom Baker-y. Peri comments on this, but he tells her that "your voice always sounds different on tape". | |

An episode of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide dealt with Procrastination. Ned and Moze make a bet that Ned won't finish his social studies project on time because he'll procrastinate like he always does. This almost comes true until Ned learns that he can use his procrastination as a way to motivate himself, allowing him to complete his project and get a passing grade. Unfortunately, Moze loses the bet since she put off learning her dutch clog dance due to wanting to avoid wearing a pair of painful wooden shoes. | |

Titan Academy: One of the most defining trait of the main character JianHao, especially in the earlier skits. In case of study time, he'll do everything... except studying. However, due to Character Development, he's trying to not procrastinate as much as before in order to win the heart of his crush, the study-obsessed Denise. | |

The Loud House: In "No Place Like Homeschool", Lincoln and eight of his sisters ask to be homeschooled because they are jealous that Lola gets to be homeschooled during her pageant season. However, they soon find out that they have tests they need to study for if they want to stay homeschooled. Despite multiple warnings not to goof off from Lola, that's exactly what they do instead of studying for their tests, resulting in Lola having to help them at the last minute. | |

Archie Comics: In Betty's Diary, Betty once wrote about trying to fix everything that she's been trying to put off. Sounds well and good, and she even inspired Archie to do the same. Except, Archie is a much worse procrastinator than she was. He wound up spending almost an entire week trying to do the things that he's been putting off. Another comic had Archie continuously putting off writing a paper due the next day, on any topic of his choosing. After putting off the paper for pointless distractions like putting up pictures of Betty and Veronica, playing with his old train in the attic, going for snacks, etc., he wakes up the next morning and writes a paper about the ways teenagers put off doing their homework. |

The Malcolm in the Middle episode "Reese Cooks" featured a subplot where Francis kept on procrastinating on his paper, finding the most ridiculous things to do to avoid working on it until his friend locks him in a room alone with just his pencil and paper. Francis then spots a loose thread, and when his friend opens the door in the morning, he finds Francis sitting there with his sweater completely unraveled. | |

Some Things Never Change: The ending of “Nothing Lasts Forever� reveals Patrick to be an extreme example of this. Unlike his workaholic (though equally immature) best friend, Patrick spent most of his life trying not to be in a rush and worry too much about growing up and finding work, so much so that he completely lost sight of the passage of time and wound up being a jobless Lazy Bum for two decades, until his friends accidentally give him an epiphany during their vacation cruise, which causes Patrick to immediately turn his life around become a responsible adult and an accountant. | |

FoxTrot: Peter Fox once started reading Moby-Dick the morning of the due date of his essay on it. His father is genuinely proud of this, saying that it reminds him of when he did his entire dissertation the morning of the day it was due. In another strip, Andy confronts Peter about his not having turned in three lab reports. Peter defends himself by saying that he intends to wait until he learns how to time travel and use the technology to go back and do his homework then. Jason, being a massive nerd, is an inversion. He loves schoolwork so much that he once finished his exams early — in September. Another time, he waited until the last minute, literally, to begin an exam, saying he liked the challenge. For all that she complains about the constant procrastination of most of her family, whenever she's free and clear to work, Andy Fox will usually either just sit around and watch TV (usually talk shows and soap operas) or do whatever else she needs to do to avoid working on the column she's supposed to be writing. Pretty much the only time she does her work is when she's trying to avoid something even more unpleasant, such as playing chess with Roger. |

If you are reading TV Tropes right now, odds are you're procrastinating. Truth in Television if there ever was such a thing. In fact, most Pot Holes to Ridiculous Procrastinator are not from example pages or character pages, but from Troper pages. (Bonus points if you are reading this page to procrastinate.) To try and get over it, put on a classic rock album and make your own Hard-Work Montage. U2, Jethro Tull, and Styx are good options. And then listen to it while browsing TVTropes. | |

In The House of Night series, Zoey and her friends pull this off to a ridiculous extent. They'll plan pretty early on what they want to do but will be so distracted by going to the movies or flirting with cute boys or whatever else that they won't actually do it until the book's almost over. In several cases, upon being presented with clear evidence that something's out of the ordinary, Zoey flat-out states that it's too freaky/stressful and she'll put it out of mind. This is especially bad in Chosen, where Zoey spends the entire book agonizing over how to heal the undead Stevie Rae, only for Aphrodite to come up with an answer in one sentence in the last few chapters: use a variant of a basic healing ritual that any vampire knows about. And it works. | |

Fawlty Towers: Basil often procrastinates about mundane things that need to be done, leading to frequent nagging from Sybil. This is a Running Gag in "A Touch of Class", in which Basil procrastinates hanging the picture, typing the menu, and serving drinks to Mr. Wareing because he would rather relax in the office, chat to the Major, and fawn over Lord Melbury. When he does try to do one of these tasks, he is interrupted by a guest, the telephone, or Sybil nagging him to do something else. In "The Germans": Although Sybil is away in hospital, she frequently checks up on Basil by telephone, nagging him to hang the moose's head among other tasks. |

My World… and Welcome to It: In "The Shrike and the Chipmunks," John and author George Lockhart are assigned to produce a children's story with illustrations for an edition of The Manhattanite that is supposed to be released in two weeks. They spend almost the whole time together procrastinating while reading, swapping stories, and drinking copious amounts of bourbon and beer. It turns out that Lockhart is loathe to write yet another sugarcoated book for young readers, and when he finally manages to dash the story off, it's Darker and Edgier than his usual output. | |

The first episode of Black Books features Bernard doing this to avoid doing his taxes. He lets in a pair of door-to-door evangelistsnote who have no idea what to do, as they've never got past the door before, phones his mothernote before rapidly being reminded why he doesn't talk to her much, and then gets himself beaten up by a trio of Millwall fansnote who are just baffled by his antics, right up to the point where he insults their team to get an exemption. Being rescued by Manny, who knows how to complete a form, puts an end to that thread, but he continues to be a ridiculous procrastinator in basically all areas that do not relate to drinking. | |

Procrastination Giants in Kingdom of Loathing. They decide to put off kicking your ass until tomorrow. While you are beating them into oblivion. One of their attack messages has them see a "Beat up intruders" on the calendar from two weeks ago and decide now's as good a time as any to do it. They can give you a status effect that makes you "decide to attack later" when you try to attack. And the giant trash falling from the sky? Well, guess whose turn it was for trash duty. | |

The release date for anything new for either City of Heroes and City Of Villains? "Soon." A minor meme on some forums (particularly Blizzard and Valve) is pretending that the word "soon" is copyrighted, because they use it so dang much. | |
