Line 11:
** Among the Espada, Yammy. In all his fights with the good guys, he has made a fool of himself. To be fair, the two first times he ended up fighting [[Magnificent Bastard|Urahara Kiskue]], and when Uryu attacked him he was prepared, but still.
** 7th Division Lieutenant Tetsuzaemon Iba gets this quite a bit in the omakes, especially as president of the Shinigami Men's association, which ends up being pushed around and often having its funding cut. He also gets treated somewhat poorly in {{spoiler|the potentially last battle, where he ends up running from Poww until Komamura saves him, and then tries to attack Allon, but is blown away by a Cero in a matter of seconds}}.
** All of them pales in comparison of the Butt Monkey-ness of Omaeda Marechiyo, Vice Captain of the 2nd squad. Aside of being abused in daily by Soi Fon, he had the honor of being taken out in one punch by Ichigo. Then in the Arrancar invasion arc, he finally did a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]... only to negate it by reverting into his [[
*** And now, in the newest filler arc involving copies of the shinigami, after seeing identical (if a little crazy) copies we see....someone new. Turns out he's Omaeda's copy who refused to look like Omaeda, explaining exactly why. The real Ikkaku and Yumichika laugh uncontrollably, agreeing completely.
** Arisawa Tatsuki. Virtually every single time she has a close encounter with a spiritual being, she is either a) injured severely, b) being crushed by the person's reiatsu, or c) worse. Numb Chandelier {{spoiler|and Tsukishima}} provide an example of c).
Line 60:
* Natsuki in both ''[[Mai-HiME]]'' and ''[[Mai-Otome]]''. Having one's [[Panty Thief|underwear stolen]] and ''eaten''? Being forced to [[Show Some Leg]] to hitch a ride back to school/town? Falling into an easily-avoidable trap set by {{spoiler|a [[Trickster God|Trickster Goddess]]}}? It's funny how the most [[The Comically Serious|serious]] member of the cast is always the one to take the comedic pratfalls.
* Han-Kyul from [[Need a Girl]], the guy is nice at heart, is seen as handsome by his classmates, then he became acquainted with a group of perverts, he himself did not change, but his repultation in the other hand. Now Han-Kyul is the Butt of all Punishments for his friends actions: peeping on girls and harassing them, even when he had nothing to do with with, or was outright trying to prevent it; there are some who even credits him as being the group's leader and greatest prevert, the guy's repultation went downhill from thyat point on.
* Jonathan Joestar from ''[[
* The ''[[Claymore|Claymores]]'' in the series titled after them are infused with the blood of Yoma, the monsters they are trained to fight and will eventually become them if they exert themselves too much; plus, if they start asking too many questions, the organization will send them on suicide missions to shut them up. The main character, Clare, generally has it the worst, since she started out as a human who was a companion to the most powerful Claymore, only to have her killed before her eyes. Her body is then used to turn Clare into a Claymore herself, except since she's only a quarter Yoma, she's the lowest ranked Claymore and everyone looks down on her.
* Tamaki from ''[[Code Geass]]''. He's not the butt of every joke, but he's disliked by the cast, and can't pilot a Knightmare to save his life, yet [[The Fool|never comes close to dying]].
Line 148:
* Meiling from ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]''. She exists primarily to be the overactive idiot.
* Did I have to mention [[Catch Phrase|the genius]] [[Idiot Hero|Sakuragi Hanamichi]] from ''[[Slam Dunk]]''?? He even got a nickname "Red-headed monkey"!!
* Watanuki Kimihiro of ''[[
* Fate Testarossa-Harlaown of ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'' gets this sometimes, being socially awkward and easily embarrassed into adulthood. She gets teasing from Signum about their new relationship (in which Fate is reluctantly Signum's superior officer in [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|StrikerS]]), is not told about a final mock battle between the captains and forwards that includes her or her daughter Vivio's ability to turn into her [[Older Alter Ego]] at will, and occasionally gets subject to loving teasing by Vivio, particularly in the "[[Has Two Mommies|2nd Mother's Day]]" one shot.
* Due to his status as [[The Comically Serious]] and as [[I Just Want to Be Normal|a chimera who desperately seeks a cure for his appearance]], [[I Work Alone|which often makes him try to ignore or belie his comrades]], [[Slayers|Zelgadis]] is this in multiple filler episodes. One memorable episode from the second season had him being used as an ''anchor'', nearly get killed twice by a [[Our Dragons Are Different|Lake Dragon]], and almost drown. In the latter scenario, he winds up getting [[Squick|CPR from the elderly (male) captain]] of the boat they were on instead of [[Genki Girl|Amelia]], whom he secretly hoped would do it...
