Like, Maynard G. Krebs, man.
On the beatnik character Bob Denver (Gilligan) portrayed for The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis:
But it was Bob himself who actually fleshed out the character, mainly because the writers had no idea what beatniks were really like. Bob researched Maynard by hanging out at college coffee houses, studying the beatniks there. He had also played a beatnik in a college production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Patience. (You might wonder how beatniks got into Gilbert and Sullivan. They had changed the two opposing factions to advertising men in suits against the beatniks.) He has been accused many times of starting the whole hippy movement in the ‘60’s.
Maynard lived in his own world with its own twisted logic. His name was also illogical, the “G” stood for Walter. According to the show’s creator, Maynard was named after his Aunt Walter who was married to his Uncle Edith. His speech was full of colorful phrases such as “You rang?” and “Like, I’m getting all misty”. But Maynard G. Krebs will always be best remembered for his response whenever anyone mentioned the subject of work. He would instantaneously shudder, and let out a plaintive cry of “WORK!?!?”
And Maynard would go on to pave the way for lazy hippies and post-pubescent facial hair mavericks everywhere.
