Line 95:
* In ''[[Duck Dodgers]]'', Eager Young Space Cadet always has to tag along with whatever dangerous missions his narcissistic, selfish and [[Lord Error-Prone|considerably less competent]] higher-up, Duck Dodgers, gets himself into.
** Porky served as one of these to Daffy in several of the classic ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' shorts, as well.
* While [[The Simpsons (animation)|Montgomery Burns]] is a competent businessman, he also lacks the skills for dealing with people, is out of touch with any cultural development that has taken place since the end of World War II, and is extremely physically weak. Naturally it falls to Smithers to make up for these defects and make sure Burns remains as successful as he is. Subverted when it's made clear that Smithers actually ''enjoys'' this, and has an almost psychological need to serve Burns.
* Schnitzel in ''[[Chowder]]'', who gets more and more comically unappreciated as the series goes on.
* ''[[Sheep in The Big City]]'' has Private Public trying to keep up with General Specific's less-than-sound schemes.
