Line 37:
* Nami Hitou of ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'' is the [[Dysfunction Junction|dysfunctional cast's]] [[Only Sane Man|token normal girl]]. Unfortunately, has a complex about being called normal because she equates it with boring, making her Not So Above It All.
* [[Soul Eater]] During the Lust chapter, Tsubaki is discovered to be much more perverted than anyone would have guessed. Especially considering how she reacted to Black Star peeping on her.
* During the KC Grand Prix arc of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'', Yugi's [[Stalker with a Crush]] Vivian cons Solomon into helping lure Yugi to a Chinese restaurant, then threatens to break his back unless Yugi duels her, with the condition that he becomes her "love slave" if he loses. When the duel actually starts, Joey, Duke, and Tristan seem more occupied with the buffet than the actual duel; Tea tries to convince them of the severity of the situation, not that this stops her from helping herself to the sesame chicken.

Line 131 ⟶ 132:
'''Family''': Huh?
'''Marge''': [[Lampshade Hanging|Well, why can't I be greedy once in a while?]] }}
:* Also, while Lisa never bothered Moe with crank calls, she did tend to laugh when Bart did it.
* Dr. Quinn of ''[[Sealab 2021]]'' tries in vain to avoid this, but especially as the series went on, would eventually succumb.
* Rebecca Cunningham of ''[[Tale Spin]]'', though somewhat [[Women Are Wiser]] and more educated than Baloo, shared his ego and stubbornness as well as lacking the latter's streetwise aspects and thus fell into this trope a frequent amount of times. Sometimes even he could be surprised how [[Cloudcuckoolander|out of her mind]] Rebecca acted at times.
Line 152 ⟶ 154:
* From ''[[The Legend of Korra]],'' Tenzin ''tries'' to be the stoic Airbending master that he really is. The problem is that the universe simply will ''not'' let him stay stoic for long. Whether it's Korra using his mother against him in an argument, or his youngest (baby) son using a potted plant as a restroom, the stoicism is never around for long.
** And let's not forget [[Crowning Moment of Funny|him enjoying watching Korra use basics of airbending in a pro-bending match despite earlier hating the sport and calling it corruption of bending as an art.]]
* In ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'', Numbuh Five is usually [[Straight Man| the most level-headed and serious]] member of the team, and the first one to call out Numbuh Two over his bad jokes. However, in "Operation: B.U.T.T.", even she can't resist laughing at the jokes Two makes about the size of Numbuh One's behind.
