The central character of John Kennedy Toole's pulitzer prize winning novel A Confederacy of Dunces.
In his 30s, Ignatius still lives with his innocent, old, alcoholic of a mother. Despite his immense education and former profession as a university professor, our protagonist had no patience for his students' inferior minds.
He could be described as an oafish genius prone to fantastic levels of delusion. His epic viewpoint on even the most trivial of things makes it difficult to sustain a steady job. Ignatius has a particular interest in his disdain for pop culture, and modernity in general. In fact, Reilly goes to such great lengths to revel in this disdain that he will, for example, attend the movie theater just to fiercely ridicule the lesser films.
Easily rivals Patrick Bateman as the most unintentionally humorous fictional character of all time.

Bruce Lee: Who is more unintentionally funny, the infamous Patrick Bateman or the immortal Ignatius Reilly?
Jose Contreras: They're both gut wrenchingly hilarious. Ignatius is loveable despite his ridiculousness, Bateman is despicable but awesome from a birds eye view. Both are pretty far removed from reality in one way or another, but Ignatius is a far more interesting character though American Psycho's satire is more pointed and effective.
Bruce Lee: Would you shut the fuck up?

Get the Ignatius Reilly mug.An Ignart is the satisfying result of "igniting" a "fart". This combustible mixture has been skillfully prepared and demonstrated for years.
If done correctly, an ignart will provide a brilliant flame that not only entertains, but will finish stinkless.
Some clothing and supervision is recommended.

One of the smartest schools in Chicago. Students come from all places in Chicago just to come here. The best College Prep school out there. Known for academics, less about sports, but really who cares about sports?
Academics > Football team, actually truth be told, our football team is probably one of the worst in the nation.

Get the inappropriate mug.When a person has a lot of leg on display, one of their friends might feel the urge to repeatedly and rapidly thwack their outstretched hand between the inner thighs on show. (As if a salmon was flapping between them.)
