[[The Jeeves]] is the perfect English butler, valet, or manservant. Always well-dressed, unfailingly polite, devoted to his employer... and usually much smarter or more level-headed than [[Upper Class Twit|his employer]], too. Usually can manipulate him so subtly that he does not even have to speak [[With Due Respect]] to achieve his ends.

The Jeeves is the perfect English butler, valet, or manservant. Always well-dressed, unfailingly polite, devoted to his employer... and usually much smarter or more level-headed than [[Upper Class Twit|his employer]], too. Usually can manipulate him so subtly that he does not even have to speak [[With Due Respect]] to achieve his ends.

The canonical example is Jeeves himself, from the [[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves and Wooster]] short stories and novels of [[P. G. Wodehouse]] and the ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (TV series)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'' TV series based on them. The original Jeeves, just for the record, is a valet, [[You Keep Using That Word|not a butler]].
