The Jeeves: Difference between revisions

----

{{examples}}

* The central premise of ''[[Black Butler]]''

* [[Old Retainer|Genji]] and especially [[Supreme Chef|Gohda]] from ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' fall into this trope.

* Mr. Butler from the [[Phryne Fisher]] novels. He keeps Phryne's eccentric household running like clockwork and is never put out by any request, no matter how odd.

 

* Massively defied by Edmund Blackadder in ''[[Blackadder]] the Third'', who constantly manipulates his self-confessed "thick as a whale omelette" employer for his own ends. Interestingly, his employer is portrayed by [[Hugh Laurie]], who also played Wooster.

* Geoffrey from the sitcom ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]].''

* Carson from ''[[Downton Abbey]]''. Only [[World War I]] can stop him from running the house perfectly

 

* Speed definitely comes off this way in ''[[Two Gentlemen of Verona]]''; he's a cheerful [[Servile Snarker]] with an unbelievably quick wit, as likely to rib his master for being in love as he is to help him put his gloves on.

* Tranio in ''[[The Taming of the Shrew]]''—a [[Gentleman and a Scholar]] who's willing to do [[Puss in Boots|literally anything to help his master out]]. (And, incidentally, to help himself to some of his master's power.) Lucentio never does a thing without consulting him.

* [http://uk.ask.com/ Ask Jeeves]. Back by popular demand.

 

* In ''[[Gargoyles]]'', Xanatos's secretary/butler/manservant/majordomo/whatever Owen Burnett (who chose this life over... Nah, that would be telling).

** And Preston Vogel, whom Owen modeled his personality {{spoiler|and current form}} on.
