Line 14:
If a female '''Butt Monkey''' is regularly used for slapstick and it is [[Played for Laughs]] she is probably also a case of [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]]. If every conceivable misfortune happens to the Butt Monkey, regardless of its logic or lack thereof, you've got yourself a [[Cosmic Plaything]].
 
If someone is [[Giving the Sword to A Noob]], nine times out of ten this person is the noob. On the other hand, if someone in the cast other than [[The Hero]] is going to [[Took a Level Inin Badass|Take a Level in Badass]], its almost invariably the '''Butt Monkey''' who does it.
 
In [[Yiddish as a Second Language|Yiddish]], this character type is called a ''schlemiel''.
