Stacy Miller from Last Man On Earth

The writers actually had to start rewriting scripts to redeem him because he was such a toxic asshole it wasn't even funny.

I've only seen David Spade in one sitcom, and he played a single guy that banged bunch of hot chicks, and his married friends basically lived through him vicariously. So I don't know I'f Ive ever seen him in the toxic beta role.

Of the people on the list, it's definitely Ross. Dude was the beta in every relationship he had. At least Ted had the balls to tell his teenage kids about all the chicks he banged before he go to their mom.

I have to imagine they're talking about Just Shoot Me, but he's not much of a beta in that either. More like an alpha who can't really back it up.

I saw him on a role on which he pretends to be female in order to deceive and sexually assault a lesbian woman.

If you're talking about Just Shoot Me, I don't think he was pretending to be a woman. He didn't realize the lesbian thought he was one too.

It's been at least a dozen years since I've watched that show though.

Oh, I found the episode and you're right. Still don't think he's a beta though.

There was another episode where it's revealed he has an enormous penis too, so it wouldn't have stayed hidden for very long.

So one role is "literally any role".

Not that I'm some David Spade defender, but in most of the movies I've seen him in, he tends to play some sort of playboy. I'm thinking of his character in Grown Ups. He's the "single and ready to mingle" playboy of the group.

My assumption is you've only seen him in Just Shoot Me, and assume that he was type casted into that role the rest of his career.

Or you were making a joke that didn't land.

P.S. Rules of Engagement was the show I was thinking of. One couple is engaged, one has been married for a few years, and he plays the bachelor "marriage is for suckers" playboy.

RoE is exactly another of the roles I'm thinking of.

David Spade as Russell Dunbar, an acerbic, narcissistic, lothario single friend of the main characters and boss of Adam and Timmy. Russell is fast-talking, and is an eternal optimist when it comes to women, often ignoring multiple sexual harassment lawsuits leveled against him in the pursuit of sex.

I really think it's clear cut Ross though. Especially in the first 4-5 seasons

How does that make him the Beta then?

Toxic? 100%. but definitely not Beta.

I guess I'm missing what you consider Alpha and Beta.

I was always under the assumption that Beta meant they were very passive and could be walked all over, whereas an Alpha was someone that didn't give a fuck and just took what they wanted.

Apologies if my interpretation was off.

Am I missing something?

How can you tell if a man is a beta?
Here are some of the ways to know a beta male.

His outputs are usually mediocre. ...
He is not goal-driven. ...
He hates competition. ...
He is satisfied with his position. ...
He does not convince people to adopt his thoughts. ...
He is usually passive with someone he loves. ...
He does not like leadership positions. ...
He lets his partner decide.


Davis Spade's character in RoE is the exact opposite of that.

Yeah, TC was a poor choice to ask this question when he doesn't understand what a beta male is.

From what I saw of HIMYM, Ted is kind of a good example of one.
