Line 36:
* Cadbury, the butler of [[Richie Rich]].
* From [[Archie]] Comics, the Lodge family butler, Smithers.
* Nestor, the butler of Marlinspike Hall in the ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)]]'' series.

Line 72:
* Sam Weller of ''[[The Pickwick Papers]]'', while somewhat less polished than most, is certainly far more level-headed than Pickwick himself.
* Lugg in the [[Albert Campion (Literature)|Albert Campion]] mysteries is a good example of the subversion.
* Because he apparently hated butlers (going so far as to say they had their own circle of hell, [[Laser
* [[Poul Anderson]]'s [[Technic History]] has the valet of Dominic Flandry, Chives, who is a clear [[Shout Out]] to Jeeves. Even if he is not human.
* Miss Feng in [[Charles Stross]]'s short story "[http://www.asimovs.com/_issue_0701/Trunk.shtml Trunk And Disorderly]", which is a pastiche of the ''Jeeves'' novels relocated to an indeterminate future.
Line 91:
* In an episode of [[Even Stevens]] Louis hires Chives, an English butler, for a week.
* Kryten of ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' is named after the Admirable Crichton, although he's [[The Woobie]] as much as [[The Jeeves]].
* Hudson from [[Upstairs, Downstairs]], who often puts duty and rectitude before compassion or flexibility, or even his own selfish needs. In one story, he panics when he is seen by Sir Richard at a restaurant entertaining relatives from Australia because he thinks he is aping his betters and thus deserves to be sacked. He is quite shocked when Bellamy doesn't get rid of him, though Bellamy's brother makes him squirm quite a bit.
* Carson from ''[[Downton Abbey]]''. Only [[World War One]] can stop him from running the house perfectly
Line 133:
* An episode of ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' had Danny getting rich and getting a butler named Hopkins.
* An episode of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' had Beezy getting a butler who literally ''lived his life for him''.
* [[Archer]] has a butler named [[Spell My Name With an "S"|Woodhouse]] ([[PG Wodehouse (Creator)|get it?]]) who is definitely more down-to-earth than his employer. Unusually, in contrast to the norm wherein [[The Jeeves]] is the one "really in charge", Archer treats Woodhouse like shit (although we frequently get hints that the valet has his own little ways of getting revenge).
