Line 6:
May involve a [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]], but in most examples, it's an entire cast imposing on the stiff guy's time, money and patience. [[The Power of Friendship]] is usually evoked by the end of the story. There may be a montage as the character remembers how things used to be, and how despite how much the other characters irritate them, they have made stiff guy a better person.
Contrast [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]] who may have a similar personality and equally annoying cohorts, but does not have the [[Character Development]].

* Tim from ''[[Dinner for Schmucks]]'' after hanging around with Barry.
* Claude from ''[[Hair (theatre)]]'' epitomizes this trope.
* ''[[The Fisher King]]''. The "stiff guy" is a shock radio host, but he's still quite stiff. And the looney is...well...Robin Williams. As a crazy homeless guy. It's a surprisingly serious movie, but still, you can see where this is going.
