Movie with a Marcus White-type protagonist?

Looking for movie suggestions where the main character is something like Marcus White from Superstore.
Someone who is shameless, inappropriate, awkward and has no filter, but at the same time is weirdly confident. Completely awkward socially but doesn’t seem to realise it.
I would actually prefer something that is not a straight comedy, maybe a thriller or something dark. But comedy is fine too.
Basically I want a movie where you are watching the main character thinking, “This guy is so awkward and inappropriate but somehow he is completely confident about it.”
Any suggestions?

It’s fascinating that Akbar the Great and William Shakespeare were contemporaries.

When William Shakespeare was writing plays in England, Emperor Akbar was ruling the Mughal Empire in India.
Akbar (1542–1605) and Shakespeare (1564–1616) were contemporaries. While Shakespeare was writing Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet, Akbar was governing one of the largest and wealthiest empires in the world.
We often think of these figures as belonging to completely different eras, but they were alive at the same time.

What TV show actually nailed its finale?

We always complain about shows that ruined the ending after years of great buildup (looking at you, Game of Thrones).
But what about the ones that got it perfectly right? Personally, I think Breaking Bad stuck the landing beautifully.
Which TV series do you think had the absolute best finale? Who actually finished on a high note?
