Line 47:

* ''[[Normalman]]'' himself is so unremarkable that ''his name is never capitalized''. In fact, you may know that in comics, ''every'' letter in ''every'' word is usually capitalized, but ''none'' of the letters in norm's name ever are. ''Damn''. Of course, that's mainly because he's the only guy without powers on the planet Levram, where being completely mundane makes him incredibly important to several key figures, from the Ultra-Conservative, who wants to give him powers so he won't disrupt the status quo to Sophisticated Lady, who finds his scrawny figure and utter helplessness maddeningly attractive.
* Recurring ''[[Spider-Man]]'' side character Joe Smith, better known as "Just A Guy Named Joe". Somewhat ironically, he's had an incredibly eventful life from certain perspectives; Boxer, wrestler, movie star, tv star, [[Super Villain]], [[Superhero]]... it's too bad he's a born loser and failed at each of those professions.
** Joe's spiritual counterpart Guy Jones, "Just A Joe Named Guy", as well.
* ''[[For Better or For Worse]]''- [[Creator's Pet|Anthony friggin Caine]]. Absolutely average, yet everyone in the cast is convinced he's the best man on earth, and of course the lovely Elizabeth gives up her exciting life teaching in a native village to move back to her home town to settle down and live a nice, respectable life with him.▼
* There is a [[Donald Duck]] short comic spoofing the story "Null-P" mentioned below: Donald is selected by a computer to be completely average, which makes him an instant celebrity. However, he does not get to enjoy it much, and in the end is saved by a ''literal'' computer bug.
Line 84 ⟶ 83:
* ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'': Out of all the Gokaigers, Don "Doc" Dogoier, aka Gokai Green, is the only one without a [[Backstory]] or known past. [[What Could Have Been|Initially]], [http://www.jefusion.com/2011/09/don-dogoiers-backstory-revealed.html he was planned to have a back-story as the son of a scientist who was murdered at the hands of the Zangyack forces.] However, Naruhisa Arakawa, the show's head writer, discovered that he preferred to leave Don without a back-story.
* On ''[[The Colbert Report]]'' and ''[[The Daily Show]]'', there is a [[Running Gag]] that Mitt Romney is an extremely bland guy. For example, a joke on ''The Colbert Report'' was that he got indigestion from a "particularly spicy Wheat Thin".
