Forgettable Character: Difference between revisions

== Live-Action Television ==

* In [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'s sixth season, the [[Terrible Trio]] which consists of Jonathan, Warren, and Andrew, who was a new character. The creators wanted to add Tucker as the third member, but his actor can't be contacted. This played a part in making the character of Andrew as Tucker's younger brother who has similar powers, and was gone when he summoned flying monkeys to attack the school. By ''Buffy'' standards, this incident was totally mundane that none of the cast remembers it or Andrew, now it's a [[Running Gag|gag]] to refer to him as "The other guy" or "Tucker's brother."

** ''[[Torchwood]]'' had a similar villain who was in real danger of dying if they were forgotten, so they did everything they could do to avert this trope by forcing people to remember them. {{spoiler|the character in question, Adam, he basically was a nondescript self insert fanfic character parody, the episode was spoofing and deconstructing the trope}}.

* In [[Arrested Development]], not one of the Bluth family (except for George-Michal, the sometimes boyfriend) remembers Ann Veal's real name; they usually refer to her as "Bland," "Egg," "Annabell," "Yam," or "Her?" It's not done out of malice, it's just that Ann Veal was so forgettable.
