Line 61:
* Major Neuheim of ''[[Private Schulz]]'' is pretty much what Colonel Klink would be like if he was a die-hard Nazi.
* In ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]'', Jack Donaghy is promoted to oversee the production of Liz's comedy show after having invented a microwave. He seems to be a competent businessman, but clearly has no understanding of comedy. Note that he acted more pointy-haired in earlier episodes. This had all but disappeared by the second season. All of his summer shows were great hits, chief among them ''MILF Island''.
{{quote| '''Jack:''' I've been reading up on humor, I found this hilarious strip called ''[[Dilbert]]'', and I want to know, can we do that?}}
* Captain Frank Hollister of ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' is revealed to have only reached his rank through blackmail (from the lowly position of Doughnut Boy no less), implying that he is possibly even less qualified than Rimmer or Lister (though clearly cleverer and/or more ambitious).
* The vacuous, hero-worshiping, management speak spouting Gus in ''[[Drop the Dead Donkey]]''. He would appear to be a living, breathing example of the Adams principle.
