Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })King Of The Bench is a series of books written by Steve Moore.The series follows the life of a young boy named after the author. He's attends Spirou T. Agnew Middle School with his two friends Carlos Dias and Joey Linguini, where the three of them regularly sign up for various sports teams. However, they're not the best athletes the school has to offer (that honour goes to Becky O'Callahan). In fact, they're what you might call "benchwarmers". Not that that bothers them that much. In fact, they consider it about as fun as being out on the field. But, when they are out on the field, they certainly can throw their own weight around. Just not as much as the rest of the team.The series has four books: Book 1: No Fear! Book 2: Control Freak Book 3: Kicking and Screaming Book 4: Comeback Kid

Big Man on Campus: Jimmy Jimerino acts like one, complete with his own posse who always laugh at his jokes, no matter how many times he tells the same ones over and over again.

In-Series Nickname: The coach of the school is referred to by Steve as "Coach Earwax" because of his habit of digging earwax out of his ears with his car keys. The principal of Nike Prep is referred to as "Jeeves" because of how polite and butler-like he is.

Gasshole: Carlos is one. In fact, his burp-talking does quite a bit of good for building up team spirit.

Laser-Guided Karma: For all the ruckus he made in "Kicking and Screaming", Jimmy Jimerino's dad is sentenced to spend all future games sitting in front of Principal T.

comment
Freudian Excuse: We learn in "Kicking and Screaming" that the reason Jimmy Jimerino is such a bully is because his dad is always pressuring him to be the best athlete.
