For 15 years, Sam and Dean Winchester — played masterfully by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles (https://www.looper.com/666999/the-controversy-between-supernaturals-jared-padalecki-and-jensen-ackles-explained/), respectively — saved people, hunted things, and fought the good fight on "Supernatural." They killed demons, banished ghosts, and iced the Devil himself, with each next threat even bigger than the last. By the time the show ended, the Winchesters had made their way through a half-dozen core cast members, multiple showrunners, and countless classic rock tunes.
Between the two brothers, Dean Winchester, the eldest of the two, has always been the macho hero who usually gets to be the one to take out the season's most recent big bad — and also Hitler. Yeah, Dean killed Hitler, and he won't let us forget it. But beyond his manly exterior and rugged good looks, Dean is probably the show's biggest hypocrite. That's right: There are countless "firm" stances Dean took early on in the series — and even later, by the show's end — that he quickly contradicted. Sure, we're all hypocrites in some ways, but Dean is arguably one of the most self-righteous hypocrites you'll ever see on television who somehow remains likable. Sam can be one too, but Dean's sins — especially given that they often go unnoticed or uncorrected — are arguably a bit more egregious.
While there are plenty of examples we could put on this list, we decided it best to limit ourselves to the 9 times that Dean was the biggest hypocrite on "Supernatural."
