Line 1:
{{trope}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* Jerry Seinfeld once talked about how the character he played on ''[[Seinfeld]]'' is actually funnier than the others because he "brings the sanity back" by making everyone else look just as crazy as they should in real life in comparison to him, and therefore even funnier than they otherwise would. This is especially true whenever another character tries to get advice from/explain whatever's going on to Jerry, who usually not only sees through, but plays along, often quite indulgently, with the other characters' bizarre motivations and logic.
** Also subverted, as while Jerry thinks he's the only sane man, but it's more in comparison to his friends as he is shown to have a lot of troubles too, the most apparent being his tendency [[Man Hands|to break up for petty reasons]], being a [[Neat Freak]] and being a bit of an [[Adult Child]].
Line 132 ⟶ 134:
* Downplayed with Lurch from most versions of ''[[The Addams Family]]''. Usually his reaction to his employers' eccentricities is [[Silent Snarker| to roll his eyes, shake his head, or both.]] However, many times, his actions show he is [[Not So Above It All]].
* Wilson from ''[[Home Improvement]]''; he's [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|eccentric as hell]], yes, but his purpose seems to be giving advice to the other members of the cast when they get into conflicts that their own lack of common sense got them into.
