Tripper Harrison, Meatballs
Tripper Harrison, played by the brilliant Bill Murray in his first major film role, is the best bad camp counselor ever. He mocks the Camp North Star campers, mocks his boss, mocks his co-workers, mocks the rival camp and makes morning announcements like: "Some hunters have been seen in the woods near Piney Ridge Trail, and the Fish and Game Commission has raised the legal kill limit on campers to three. So, if you're hiking today, please wear something bright and keep low." But, for all his faults, Harrison is actually sort of inspiring; he teaches us that "it just doesn't matter if we win or we lose."
