Line 15:
* '''Double Subverted''': The writers pay attention to feedback and make the necessary efforts to round the character out, restoring his popularity.
* '''Parodied''':
** ''Generic Workcom'' is a [[Show Within thea Show]] of ''Generic Sitcom''. In one episode, [[Ted Baxter]] actress Alice, nominally the star of ''Generic Workcom'', comes to learn how popular the Scott character is with the audience. More popular than her character! She launches a [[Zany Scheme]] to destroy that character's popularity and return the audience's attention to her.
** [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|"So, basically, the hero is]] '''this guy'''. [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|I think it's time we faced that fact."]]
* '''Deconstructed''': It's revealed that Scott lives for the brief moments where he's acknowledged, and otherwise lives an unfulfilled, unexciting, lonely life, in constant envy of the protagonists and their far more interesting existence.
