The lovable loser is a character archetype portrayed as a sympathetic, likable, or well-meaning person for whom bad luck continually prevents their various efforts from succeeding, and from obtaining the things they feel will bring them happiness,Scott Sedita, ''The Eight Characters of Comedy: A Guide to Sitcom Acting and Writing'' (2014), p. 71-86. particularly an idealized true love.Susanne Kord, Elisabeth Krimmer, ''Contemporary Hollywood Masculinities: Gender, Genre, and Politics'' (2011), p. 197-220.

''David'' is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture, created in marble between 1501 and 1504 by the Italian artist Michelangelo. ''David'' is a marble statue of the Biblical figure David, a favoured subject in the art of Florence.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (; 6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), known as Michelangelo (), was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance. Born in the Republic of Florence, his work was inspired by models from classical antiquity and had a lasting influence on Western art.
