Line 4:
If a character in any given show is constantly cracking wise and making wry observations, no matter how clever and funny they are, they never elicit so much as a smirk from any of the other characters. While in real life genuinely funny and charming people are social darlings, in TV land they're more seen as annoying losers.
 
The prime examples would have to be [[Friends|Chandler Bing]] and [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Xander Harris]], who -- inwho—in their early seasons, at least -- wereleast—were funnier than just about anyone in real life, yet got nothing back but eye-rolling and sighs. You wonder why they hang out with these people.
 
Of course, it's all for the best. Constantly chuckling characters would drive viewers insane (a [[Laugh Track|constantly chuckling audience]] does nothing of the sort, [[Sarcasm Mode|of course]]), especially if they're [[Humor Dissonance|laughing at a joke the viewer doesn't find funny.]]
