Investigating Ugliness and Sloth

In my research for The Community, I was thinking about who were some of the ugliest bastards of all time. A few guys immediately come to mind — Willie McGee, Peyton Manning, Dave Coulier, Larry Appleton, and Matthew McConaughey (not!). Then it dawned on me that the ugliest dude of all time was Sloth from The Goonies! No question about it!

While Sloth was a gross looking bastard, I was still hesitant to give him the label of ugliest of all time. First off, he was a chill dude to Chunk, and was on kid’s side in the movie. He also loved Baby Ruths, which are a great candy bar to say the least. What bothered me most, however, was naming someone with deformities as the bunkest looking dude of all time! It just didn’t seem decent.

After weeks of research, I found out that the man who played Sloth in The Goonies was named John Matuszak – and this dude was really something else! Dig this: He was the first overall pick in the NFL draft in 1973, being drafted by the Houston Oilers. He later went on to win two Super Bowls with the Oakland Raiders! (This is Sloth we’re talking about.) A notorious abuser of any substance he could get his hands on, Sloth was named as one of the Top Five Bad Boys of all time in the NFL by Sports Illustrated!

Of course, I could not comprehend how a guy so ugly could be so nasty at football. It turns out that Sloth/Matuszak wasn’t always so gross looking. In fact, some may even argue that this bastard is rather decent looking! (Sloth/Matuszak’s picture is below.) It just goes to show you that no matter how vulgar looking a dude is, there still may a decent look waiting in the wings.
