Sad-Sack Classics: Droopy

Ah, yes. Who could forget Droopy? Just listening to this pooch talk could make you feel sorry for him. Or give him the boot.
But don't let the Sad-Sack appearance fool you. Droopy had many hidden talents, and should be considered a hero for Sackers everywhere.
"Within great stillness, lies great strength."
-Sad-Sack Zen Proverb

In the days before Viagra and Zoloft, Tex Avery created this character for MGM in 1943. In doing so, he created years of inspiration and entertainment for the slow, cartoon-addled slackers and "potential-heroes" of the world.

Tex Avery and Droopy- We salute you.

Sad Sack Gift Idea: The Couch Potato

Now this is really something a few Sad Sacks I know should own.
Just set this guy on the coffee table (or TV dinner stand) while you're watching re-runs of Roseanne, and you'll never have to feel alone or "misunderstood" again. The Couch Potato has your back. The Ultimate Sad Sack Sidekick.

Bad-A$$ Sad-Sack Flashback

"When a girl has a heart of stone, there's only one way to melt it. Just add Ice."
'nuff said.

I guess quietly communing with the aliens at home got boring for Dan Aykroyd



'cos suddenly he is everywhere selling vodka out of skulls. I actually really respect this.

Sad Sack Flashback: Milli Vanilli

Hey- the music wasn't bad. But once you found out that "Rob and Fab" really weren't singing? Not so Fab. Milli Vanilli- Welcome to the Sad-Sack Wall of Shame.

sometimes, leaning on a horrible spiky wall is the least of your worries

Greetings, Sad Sacks and Friends of Sackers-

As Kate has mentioned, this blog was initiated by the speedy accumulation of distressed Wall-Street dudes’ (and some ladies’) images currently available on the web. We empathize and appreciate the array of sites that have made these images available for discussion.
However, here at Sad Sack-Daily, we have realized that Brokers are not alone in their Sad Sackedness. No. This Blog aims to be not only topical, but also aims to embrace and welcome the other, multi-faceted forms of Sacktitide that pervade our society, and experience.
We are not talking about tragedy here. We have CNN and TMZ for that. No- here we welcome the images and discussion of those “poor” Stock- Brokers, as well as the other many other images that awaken our sense of irony, sympathy (sometimes) and our own inner Sad Sack.
So, bring us your huddled masses of fallen ice-cream stories, skinned knees and photos of lonely bench-sitters. We’re here for you.

his chin is frowning!

not technically a sad sack, but...

a polite look of horror

This guy's sweet neo-Enstein 'do makes him camera ready no matter what angle.

The Year of the Sad Sack

A few days ago we started noticing the plethora of "sad wall street guy" photos accompanying the plethora of Sad Wall Street news stories everywhere. No two photos are the same (only once so far has the same person been in two different shots, even), and yet they all have a well-thought out uniformity to their sadness and perfectly art-directed poses of despair.
Thus, they all must have been culled from an ambitious and infinite catalog of "sad wall street guy" stock photos somewhere, right?
Nope. There are just a whole lot of traders in various states of hell holding nice and still in the Stock Exchange, which is a good thing when you have started a collection...
