I'm really trying to come up with some female slackers who had the lead in a film. The best I've managed is Winona Ryder's character in "Reality Bites" and Kristin Wiig's character in "Bridesmaids" but Wiig's character was more in melt down mode after failing at running her own business so I don't think she really counts.
I think it must be politically incorrect to have girl slackers.
I think you hit a general weakness in Hollywood as well as TV land. Female characters (especially protagonists) are still the minority compared to their male counterparts in terms of leading movies and television series. Either way, I just added Jack Black. Thanks Boomerang.

I guess the very movie Slacker would be left out of your list because there is no singular protagonist. Pretty much, the entire cast are the protagonists.

I would be amiss to leave that Richard Linkletter classic off (even though I have never seen it). Maybe if they have a group image, I'd use everyone (or as many characters from the show in a given image).
