Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~inspector_gadget_815~~inspector gadget 815.jpg\|link=Inspector Gadget\|frame\|[[Telescoping Robot\|Tons of gadgets]], milligrams of brain.]] The [['''Comedic Hero]]''' is a less-than-competent protagonist who nevertheless succeeds despite his best efforts. He might have dumb luck on his side, or a [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]] might be watching his back with or without his knowledge. [[The Fool]] is a specific variant of this character type. Might be a [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]. For the superhero version, see [[Super Zeroes]]. For a goof who is more competent than people would like to admit see [[Let's Get Dangerous]] Line 10: == [[Anime]] == * Milfeulle Sakuraba of ''[[Galaxy Angel (anime)\|Galaxy Angel]]'', a [[The Ditz\|ditz]] of epic proportions, actually survives by the most improbable luck in the universe. * The title character from ''[[~~Bobobobo~~ Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo]]'', Bobobo. ** Not so much because of luck, but because [[Cloudcuckoolander\|his brand of insanity]] is perfect for dealing with the insanity around him. * The [[Irresponsible Captain Tylor]]. Maybe. Line 29: == Literature == * Bertie Wooster, ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)\|Jeeves and Wooster]]''. Hilariously incompetent, "mentally negligible", and the epitome of the [[Upper Class Twit]]~~--but~~—but [[Spoiled Sweet\|so ridiculously nice]] that you can't help but root for him. == [[Live Action TV]] == Line 35: * Chespirito's ''[[El Chapulin Colorado]]'' * ''The Greatest American Hero'' * [[NBC]]'s ''Captain Nice'', and [[CBS]]'s ''Mr. Terrific'', two very short-run (half season) series which tried to ride the "camp superhero" wave started by the Adam West ''[[Batman (TV series)\|Batman]]'' series. == [[Western Animation]] == Line 44: * Peter Griffin from ''[[Family Guy]]''. * ''[[George of the Jungle]]'' * ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'' * [[Daffy Duck]], primarily in certain [[Chuck Jones]] cartoons: "[[Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century\|Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century]]," "[[The Scarlet Pumpernickel]]," "[[Robin Hood]] Daffy," ''etc''. * Coop of ''[[Megas XLR]]'' Line 55: {{reflist}} [[Category:Comedic Hero]] [[Category:~~Pages~~Archetypal ~~needing more categories~~Character]] [[Category:Characters As Device]] [[Category:Stock Characters]]
