Straight Man: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Transformers Cybertron]]'': Jetfire is the straight man, with various other characters up to and including Optimus Prime and even [[Big Good|Prim]][[God|us]] playing the wise guy role.

* Liquid from ''[[Papuwa]]'', as well as Shintaro from the original series.

* Sasshi Imamiya and Arumi Asahina from ''[[Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai|Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi]]''

* Fuyuki Hinata from ''[[Sgt Frog]]''.

'''Joey''': ...oh! ''(runs back to his room)'' }}

* Jim, Pam, Toby, Stanley, and Oscar on the US version of ''[[The Office]]'' all serve as as Straight Man/Woman to the wackiness that emanates from various corners of the office.

* Carly in ''[[iCarly]]''. Carly is something of a "Jerry Seinfeld" example, as the show is named after her. Carly provides the setup for most of Spencer and Sam's jokes. Her main comedic role is to deliver rejections to [[Dogged Nice Guy]] Freddie, who has a crush on her. Even so, half the time [[Jerkass|Sam]] delivers them instead. They also get phased out during Season 3 and 4, leaving her to suffer [[Designated Protagonist Syndrome]].

* Mark and Ann on ''[[Parks and Recreation]]''. This unfortunately makes them one the most boring [[Beta Couple|Beta Couples]] of all time.
