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.One of the worst things you could call someone. Known to have a "talk show" that he says is in the "no spin zone." Right, and the Earth doesn't have gravity. Someone who has the audacity to cut off decent guests (example Ron Paul) who have differing (i.e. CORRECT) views from him during interviews. Basically just another mouth piece for the neocons.
Also included in the worst things you could call someone are George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh, etc.

Get the O'Reilly Factor mug.by A_K June 10, 2008
Get the Bill O'Reilly mug.Rilla is the one fresh as a flower bud, ready to bloom. Her's is the beauty of the break of dawn and the golden dusk. Her glow puts to shame a thousand stars. Her voice is sweet as honey, her heart pure as a child. Kindness guides her every action. One must consider themselves lucky to have met a Rilla.

Get the on da rilla mug.A fake politician who's only reply is "shut up" when he fails to interrupt someone. Bill O'Reilly tends to be proven wrong all the time, and has to edit out a ton of the footage to make someone look like a bad person.
"______ owns Bill O'Reilly on air." Fill that blank with anything and there's a 97% chance it has happened.
