It's a common stereotype for mules, as well as for their donkey sires, to be stubborn, recalcitrant, and uncooperative animals. This typically applies in the context of trying to use them as beasts of burden, with the animal in question stubbornly refusing to pull its cart or haul its load and firmly planting itself in its spot. If it will be convinced to move at all, it will only be by dint of much pulling, pushing, and cursing, and most likely after some judicious application of goads or stout sticks. Less commonly, the mule or donkey will be used as a steed instead, typically on a path too harsh for horses, and at an arbitrary point in the path suddenly refuse to move any further. Sometimes the ass is used as a symbol not so much of stubbornness, as of sheer stupidity. It was probably this characterization that led to the modern usage of "ass" to mean "fool". On still other occasions the donkey is used to depict low status or servility, especially when contrasted with more favored beasts such as the horse or the hound. Finally, paradoxically, the mule has been used to symbolize sturdy, if stubborn, practicality, and a no-nonsense attitude towards the harsher realities of life. Both these characterizations (ironically) come from the fact that donkeys and mules are more intelligent than horses and have a stronger sense of self-preservationnote Unlike their cousins donkeys originally hail from a desert climate where they lived solitary lives and had to be "smarter" in order to survive.. This makes them less obedient to humans, and therefore we perceive them as stubborn, but consider: you can ride a horse to death, but a donkey will stop when it's exhausted. Which is smarter? Note that strictly speaking, a donkey (or ass, of which a "jackass" is the male and a "jenny" the female) is a separate species; a mule is a (usually) sterile hybrid, a cross between a male donkey and a female horse, as opposed to a hinny, the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey. Despite the name, this trope is equally applicable to full-blooded donkeys as it is to mules. More rarely, hinnies — the other horse/donkey hybrid; mules have a horse mother and donkey father, while hinnies are the other way around — may be depicted this way as well. Compare Moody Mount (which is for rideable animals other than donkeys and mules being troublesome). It can go with Diligent Draft Animal when donkeys and mules are used for physical labor and pulling loads. |

Winnetou: Mary, Sam Hawkens' mule. She's captured at the beginning of volume one, and trying to tame her almost kills Sam faster than the bison who had killed his initial horse, and takes more effort out of Old Shatterhand than the fight with the grizzly bear. The only reason he wins is because he is a very stubborn bastard himself. (He's half dead on his feet by the end, though.) | |

Discworld Bad Ass, Lancre was named for the fact that a donkey got stubborn there. The village was founded by the people riding in the wagon it was pulling. Now Lancrians have to explain it to everybody. In Jingo a donkey gets stuck up a minaret in Al Khali. Being the stubborn animals they are there is no chance it will back down. It can't turn around, and being right at the top it can't go forward. The locals are amazed at Vetinari when he disappears into the minaret and returns leading a docile donkey. Vetinari helpfully explained that the key is to find that part of the donkey that really wants to get down. He is holding a walking cane when speaking, suggesting mechanism. |

Dirty Jobs: Part of Mike Rowe's visit to a California camel ranch involves rectally taking the temperatures of several camels. When he jokingly asks if they're going to do the same for the ranch's donkeys, his host hastens to make it clear that handling the donkeys is a much different undertaking than handling camels: "You don't do anything to a donkey unless you ask first." | |

The French film Antoinette in the Cévennes, released in Anglophone countries as My Donkey, My Lover, and I. Antoinette, who is obviously ill at ease with her newly purchased donkey Patrick, has enormous difficulty in getting it to move. In one scene a highly agitated Antoinette starts yelling at the donkey to move, then lashes it with a whip, before bursting into tears and apologizing. She eventually figures out that the key is to walk alongside Patrick and constantly talk to him. At the end of the movie, Patrick has been sold to someone else but refuses to budge again, until Antoinette accompanies Patrick and his (admittedly handsome) new owner back the way she came. | |

The Goodies. In "Bunfight at the O.K. Tearooms", there's a Running Gag of a mule that the Goodies can't get to move (probably because it's a stuffed dummy) so they have to pick it up and carry it to where they want to go. This culminates in Graeme trying to ride off on the mule into the sunset only to topple onto the ground instead. | |

Red Dead Redemption: While traveling through Mexico in the first game, you'll occasionally encounter a peasant leading his donkey down the road. The peasant will loudly and repeatedly curse the beast in Spanish. Marston himself can ride donkeys, but they won't jump, they can't run as fast as a horse, and you can't put a hogtied person on one. Mules return in Red Dead Redemption 2 and fulfill a similar 'low-rent mount' alongside donkeys. You can take them hunting, but the animal is too ornery to bond with Arthur or take to the saddle. In this sense, the mule is smart enough to not be a desirable mount for missions and instead be far away from the action once any real shooting starts up. |

Shrek: Donkey is implied to be one of the stubborn donkeys from Aesop's fables, as the first time we see him he is about to be sold into bondage by his owner, promising to never be stubborn again. After this, Donkey's stubbornness is mostly an Informed Flaw, as he's generally pretty agreeable and willing to do some dangerous feats. He is stubborn in one regard, though — making friends with Shrek. | |

Donkey Kong got his name in order to evoke the stubborn nature of a donkey. In his debut game, DK escaped from his master Mario and kidnapped Mario's girlfriend Pauline, forcing Mario to give chase through a construction site all while dodging the various obstacles the stubborn gorilla throws in his way. The 1994 Game Boy version expands this with DK leading Mario on a wild chase through multiple areas without, intermittently attempting to halt Mario's progress. | |

Ponyfinder: Donkeys have a reputation for being ornery, willful and stupid. In practice, they have great mental fortitude and determination, and can be very difficult to beguile, trick or sway. In game terms, they also have a natural resistance to magical compulsions and charms and have feats that allow them to better carry heavy burdens, endure damage, ignore harmful effects and soldier on in overwhelming odds. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Mules, donkeys and hill ponies/horses (moor-, Shetland- and Icelandic analogues) show up from time to time. Although not widely deemed as impressive as a warhorse, let alone a dragon, they are essential if you want to get around the wilder parts of the Seven Kingdoms in anything like decent time. For climbing up to the Eyrie or trekking around and beyond the Wall, you need reliable, hardy stubbornness that's willing to balk at suicidal directions and can just keep ticking along on dodgy forage, as Stannis finds out when he tries ploughing Southern-bred slabs of hay-guzzling muscle through autumn snow. The poor war- and draught-horses weren't bred or trained for that. | |

The Dark Eye: Donkeys are commonly stereotyped as stubborn and stupid animals, but the game rules note that this is an artifact of how people try to deal with them — they tend to be suspicious animals, and will refuse to move if something (say, someone pulling on them to make them move forward) blocks their view of the road. They're actually fairly intelligent animals, and this, combined with their patient natures and tough hardiness, makes them popular beasts of burden. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Cranky Doodle Donkey is old, set in his ways, and very, very unwilling to deal with Pinkie Pie. After a while, you start to empathize with him. There's an actual (nameless) mule who shows up when one of the protagonists says how somepony else is "as stubborn as a mule", prompting them to quickly add "no offense!" Humorously, the actual mule never does take any offense, implying that he's actually more agreeable than the ponies. |

The Amazing Race: The season 12 opener has a challenge involving transporting peat using a donkey. Most seem compliant enough, but the donkeys used by Ari and Staella and by Nathan and Jennifer prove to be premiere examples of this trope, resulting in both teams placing in the bottom rung. In season 1 of the Australian version, Richard and Joey get a stubborn goat that doesn't want to go where they have to take it, resulting in them being eliminated. |
