* ''[[Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger]]'', being a parody of [[Super Sentai]], stars a team of Otaku. Mitsuki Aoyagi/Akiba Blue serves as the [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]], in other words, the least Otaku of the team (AND the [[Mission Control]], Mitsuki's more or less a closet one), and usually spends her time being bewildered at the ridiculous concept of the show.
* ''[[Friends]]'' is a rather unusual example of this trope. In the beginning, Monica was definitely this (she was a 3, to be exact). However, as her obsessive-compulsiveness gradually shot [[Up to Eleven]] and Chandler's quippiness/snarkiness decreased, ''he'' gradually became the [[Only Sane Man]] of the group. Albeit more of a 2 than a 3.
*In [[Magnum PI]] Magnum is a PI, Rick is a bartender at a posh club of the sort people only get into in movies, and Higgins is a Major-domo of a rich man's estate and an all knowing insufferable genius who loves telling war-stories that are so varied they end up putting in several continents at once doing several missions at once. TC on the other hand, has a mundane and respectable business flying tourists in a helicoptor, and off work he does laudable but equally mundane work helping local youth groups.
