Gargamel
Gargamel is the villain in the Smurfs franchise—a scheming, incompetent wizard obsessed with capturing the small blue creatures.
His name has become shorthand for a bumbling antagonist whose elaborate plans inevitably fail: He's the Gargamel of the office, always plotting but never succeeding.
