What are the least dwarfy dwarves?

From any work of fiction, what dwarf/dwarves are the biggest shame to the dwarven species and why.

Why don't you start us off with an opinion?

This one.
*gag* I should have thought of this one. Mostly I posted this topic because I wanted to hear others' opinions, but I couldn't really pick out a good one on my own.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I was also going to add Oompa Loompas, but then I realized that they maintain Willy Wonka's labyrinth of fiendish deathtraps and realized that they're actually VERY dwarfy. Replace magma with rivers of molten chocolate, and you're all set.

The lollipop guild is munchkins, though, not dwarves.

I would like to put in a vote for the heinous and unnecessary co-option of the word "Dwarf" to describe people with certain types of growth disorders. [/controversial statement]

I'm interpreting the term dwarf loosely here to mean "short people represented as their own race". Oz never had had dwarves by name, so the Munchkins were the closest thing. Ditto for Oompa Loompas.

This one.

It's almost scarily close to the actual ED's dancing. Never underestimate Japan's ability to produce this sort of stuff.

Well, the Elder Scrolls dwarves are Elves, so...

...But on the other hand they're awesomely steampunk, keep magma in their living rooms and build giant god-mechas. I guess that evens it out a little.

I was going to say the same thing about TES dwarves. They're dwarves in all but height and ladybeards.

In any case, the least dwarfy dwarves are ones where the ladies don't have beards.

The other elves also try to massacre the dwarven elves in TES.
