The Only Sane Man who is surrounded by morons and never gets a break. If anything good happens to them in a given episode, it will inevitably be undone by episode's end. No matter what the character does, no matter how noble their intentions, they just cannot get the respect of their peers. It's not that they deserve to be unhappy. They are a genuinely Nice Guy who in some other story would be loved and respected. But since they are in a comedy ensemble, their role is to suffer to keep the humor rolling, even if the audience finds them sympathetic. While the "I don't get no respect" line is indelibly associated with Rodney Dangerfield, the characters he plays are not examples of No Respect Guy as they are Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonists who don't generally deserve respect. Also note that the other characters have to treat the character unfairly for them to be playing this trope. If they are as stupid as everyone else, they are just a Butt-Monkey. Subtrope of Only Sane Man. If the character themselves complain about this, it's Dude, Where's My Respect?. See also Memetic Loser, the Out-of-Universe version. And Kafka Komedy where the Nice Guy is always treated like crap no matter how reasonable and well-intentioned are they. |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie: Mario, who is usually a Fun Personified kind of person in the games, has to deal with his family and former boss not looking fondly on his job as a plumber and just being treated as unimportant in general. That changes when he winds up in the Mushroom Kingdom by accident. | |

She isn't one anymore, but in her original few appearances, Zoe from Sluggy Freelance had shades of this. In particular, in her first appearance, she was locked out of her car, trampled twice by a mob of people, and then beaten up twice by Bun-Bun. While it was never as pronounced as her first appearance, nor is it still in effect, but random unfortunate stuff (such as failing her midterms due to changes to history that she had a hand in being on the test) happening to Zoe was a bit of a running gag for a few years after the strip started. Eventually, she got past it, but she's still a Weirdness Magnet, so it's not all gone. | |

In The Terror, Captain Sir John Franklin is described as the officer everyone likes, but no one respects. This largely stems from his affable nature, but incompetent leadership which lead to disaster on a previous Arctic expedition and his failed governorship of Van Damien's Land. His leading the 1846 expedition to find the Northwest Passage is his last chance at gaining the respect of the Arctic Council. His incompetence and glory hound nature strikes again and almost the entire 129-man expedition, save for his exec Captain Crozier, dies from starvation, the cold, or the creature stalking the ships. | |

Fargo of Eureka, and deservedly so, but his new role as head of GD has actually lent itself to making him become a more responsible, and yes, respected character. Even before then, and acknowledging he caused plenty of problems thanks to certain tendencies, he was still the assistant to the director of GD and apparently competent enough as an Omnidisciplinary Scientist himself to participate or be made responsible for whatever was needed that week but had his position derided by other specialists at GD. Except Larry, who is always competing to take over his position that is. | |

Looney Tunes: A Running Gag in several cartoons is that Daffy Duck, no matter what he does or how talented he is, is always looked down upon by everyone whereas his rival Bugs Bunny is Loved by All and gets big rounds of applause for the smallest things he does. This ends up deconstructed in Looney Tunes: Back in Action, where the higher-ups use this as an excuse to fire Daffy when they get sick of his prima donna antics, only to find the cartoons bombing without him, since Daffy being such an unpopular Butt-Monkey is a large part of what makes them funny in the first place. | |

Kikuchiyo from Seven Samurai is a bumbling wannabe samurai who is a complete laughing stock of his companions, especially Heihachi. No matter what he tries, he looks like an idiot in front of everyone. Though he does earn a little bit of respect once in a while and after he dies, he is buried with his sword like the other three samurai casualties. | |

Homicide: Life on the Street: Detective Bayliss is treated like crap by the rest of the unit for being the rookie and his relative lack of field experience. Though he's a fairly kind man who rarely goes out of his way to antagonize anyone and served on the SWAT team for five years, he's still constantly mocked throughout the first two seasons. He eventually gels into the unit and grows out of this status. Crime scene photographer Brodie has it worse. He's a gentle Shrinking Violet who helps the unit solve multiple murders and even sacrificed his original job to help them, but his lack of experience and his status as a former member of the press means he's constantly mocked and berated. Whenever he complains about it, he's told he needs to earn their respect in spite of his aforementioned accomplishments. |

Discworld: Ponder Stibbons is this at Unseen University. At least until Unseen Academicals, when he realizes he's had so many jobs foisted on him over the years, he wields enough power to make people listen to him. Specifically, he holds twelve jobs at the university (not counting football coach), giving him twelve votes on the university council. This means that no matter how anyone else votes, he forms a majority all by himself. |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged makes it into a running gag that there's one of these on every team. For the Earthlings, it's Yamcha whose name has become a verb meaning 'to be defeated ignominiously'. For when Yamcha isn't around, it's Krillin, he of the Krillin Owned Count. For the Saiyans, it's Raditz, who's become a unit of measure for both power levels and currency ('he owes me 50 Raditz!'). For Freeza's lesser minions, it's Appule, with Freeza declaring Appule couldn't handle a stiff drink, much less Vegeta. For Freeza's personal henchmen, it's Dodoria, where Toma admitting it was Dodoria who wiped out their team was a source of shame. For the Ginyu Force, it's Guldo, who Vegeta loves to throw dog treats at, Burter has a meltdown at being accused of being slower than and Captain Ginyu has a dismissive "oh, these things happen" attitude when hearing he was killed. For the Androids, it's the poorly-programmed and crash-prone Android 19. Android 13 serves as a backup for this role, whose vernacular, ar-ti-cu-la-tion, and trucker hat obsession is snarked about behind his back. For the Spice Boys, it's Enema, whose teammates admit to hating him and cared more about losing the HBO Go account they were piggybacking when he died. For the post-Cell era Z-Warriors, it's Vegeta, who might be the second-most powerful of them left after Goku died and Future Trunks went home, but everyone he seeks out either either avoids him or tells him to fuck off to varying degrees of politeness. |

Newt in Pacific Rim was mostly viewed with a sort of amused contempt, up until his loony ideas reveal the true reason for the Kaiju attacks. He's back to this in Pacific Rim: Uprising; while Liwen Shao seems to value his knowledge, his goofiness and terrible language skills mean he's not exactly the most well-respected of employees, despite his high rank. Resentment about this, combined with his drifting with a Kaiju brain, gave the Precursors a way to get their hooks into his mind, leading to him secretly masterminding a plan that came within inches of destroying the world. | |

Steven Universe: Pink Diamond is eventually revealed to be this. She was the youngest Diamond and the others always treated her as an Annoying Younger Sibling, usually brushing her off. She started acting like a Royal Brat in a desperate attempt to be at least noticed and demanded her own colony because she thought that if she could prove that she could oversee one, the others would finally treat her like an equal. It gets darker later when Pink pleads to the other Diamonds to allow her to stop Earth's colonization because she's had a Heel Realization, but they just brush her off as usual. Unfortunately, this time she had a point, and Rose Quartz soon led the Crystal Gems in rebellion, ultimately assassinating Pink Diamond, which the others still blame themselves for. Though in actuality, their dismissal of Pink and later taking over her colony led Pink to conclude that there was no way to halt the colonization other than open rebellion, and she later decided that the best way to end the war was to fake her own assassination and take on her Rose Quartz secret identity permanently. | |

Luigi from Super Mario Bros., especially the RPG spin-off games. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, most people don't know who Luigi is and refer to him as the guy in green or some other variant. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, one can buy "Paper Luigi" novels between chapters detailing Luigi's epic quest as the Hero of Another Story... except that you also run into Luigi himself between chapters, and his own party members confirm that the amazing feats of badassery detailed in the novels are greatly exaggerated and Luigi actually bumbled his way through most of the adventure. However, in The Thousand-Year Door, there is one Toad child who thinks Luigi is cooler than Mario (with apologies to Mario). There's also Pennington the detective, who takes one look at your outfit and deduces that you can only be the famous Luigi, and nothing can convince him otherwise. Mario also typically shows Luigi a great deal of respect as they are very close. An example of this is in "Super Mario Odyssey" where when you obtain Luigi's outfit, Mario says of it "the L stands for winner" showing how highly he thinks of Luigi. So Luigi gets respect sometimes. | |

To some extent, McGee on NCIS. I'd say so, Probie! Really, McGee and Tony sort of trade this role back and forth (although, many would argue Tony partly brings it on himself). Although neither of them is surrounded by morons. |

Goof Troop: PJ is The Drag-Along. Nobody ever listens to him when he tries to convince them to think through consequences or to prepare (such as reading the manual) or when he tries to tell them something has gone wrong, and he's usually right. He is also routinely treated badly by other characters (though the universe itself seems to like him fine) and multiple episodes have made him the butt of a "Shaggy Dog" Story... which wouldn't have happened if people had just listened to him in the first place. | |

Red vs. Blue Church. He even gets repeatedly killed by his own teammates. Grif also qualifies, but he doesn't put in much effort to earn the respect of his team. Donut. He's actually a legitimately competent soldier and a Nice Guy, but his naïveté and his constant spewing of Innocent Innuendos means the Reds and Blues tend to treat him like shit most of the time. At one point, he angrily points out that Wash, the guy who shot him, gets more respect than him. |

Mat Cauthon in The Wheel of Time. By the middle of the series, he's one of the best fighters and generals in the world, but due to Poor Communication Kills, few of the other characters realize this, and many treat him like he's a worthless jerk. He gets crap thrown at him, Locked Out of the Loop during an important mission, molested by a queen, etc. When his army defeats a much larger force against all odds, the enemy commander rides out to congratulate... Thom Merrilin, who he thought was the general. | |

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice arguably has it worse than his predecessor/mentor/employer Pheonix. Absolutely everybody he meets will take time out of their usual shenanigans just to make fun of him in some manner. Even his own mother and little sister along with Phoenix himself mess with him. On the plus side, he didn't get quite as much hostility from the prosecution... until Blackquill came along. | |

Dan Vs.: Chris is often treated like dirt, as aside from many injuries he suffers due to reluctantly tagging along with Dan in the latter's schemes, he is hated on by his wife's parents, no one in high school remembers him, and not even Dan treats him with much respect and hardly shows any emotion whenever Chris is either injured or on the verge of death. Even his wife Elise, while she does love and support him, isn’t above using him as a pawn in her spy missions, though at least Chris doesn’t know about that. | |

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Despite all the cases he won and how he solved cases most people thought were lost causes, no one ever respects him; the judge is always quick to scold Phoenix and rarely does so for the prosecution, all the witnesses berate Phoenix and treat him like an idiot, all the prosecutors denounce Phoenix as some newbie lawyer who doesn't know jack about how trials work, and Maya is a complete idiot when it comes to even the most basic logic and she even busts Phoenix's chops a few times, yet Phoenix swore to Mia to look after Maya so he can't just ditch her. The only other person who has it slightly worse than Phoenix is Detective Gumshoe. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice arguably has it worse than his predecessor/mentor/employer Pheonix. Absolutely everybody he meets will take time out of their usual shenanigans just to make fun of him in some manner. Even his own mother and little sister along with Phoenix himself mess with him. On the plus side, he didn't get quite as much hostility from the prosecution... until Blackquill came along. In one case Edgeworth fills in for Phoenix as a defense attorney and, accordingly, becomes one of these as well. He comes away with a new respect for his friendly rival; after all, Edgeworth knows that after this case he can go back to his cushy, everyone-loves-me job of being a prosecutor, but Phoenix puts up with this bullshit every day, on purpose, because of his dedication to truth and justice. Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth: Edgeworth's respect vanished immediately after he got the spotlight. In the first game, he gets accused of murder, is knocked out by a Proto Badger, is insulted by virtually everyone who isn't Kay or Gumshoe, gets whipped by Franziska constantly, encounters Oldbag twice, and let's not even mention anything regarding his Steel Samurai fanboyism. The second game isn't much better: for about half the game, Courtney and Sebastian constantly treat him like a lousy prosecutor, try to take away his investigation rights, and seek to strip him of his badge (although Courtney was secretly on Edgeworth's side all along). |

A Song of Ice and Fire has several people who fit the description, but Tyrion Lannister is one of the most noteworthy. Try to restrain your royal nephew's sociopathic tendencies? Get blamed for his behavior instead. Take steps to fix the city's severe food shortage? Nobody seems to notice or care. Annihilate most of an invading army's navy and lead a charge to drive the survivors back? The first gets attributed to other people, the second is supplanted by a much larger charge by friendly reinforcements, and he gets seriously disfigured to boot. This all culminates in him getting framed for the aforementioned nephew's murder and being forced to flee for his life. | |

I'm a Marvel... And I'm a DC: Superman is a mild example of the trope, though he somewhat grew out of it as the series went on. He is one of the most mild-mannered and idealistic members of the cast, but is looked down upon by most of his fellow superheroes (particularly Batman and Wolverine) because his series isn't nearly as successful as it once was, and many people see him as an outdated character with no relevance to the 21st century. | |

Park Gang-du from The Host (2006) is a tragicomic example, an amiable but slow-witted single father who gets little respect from anyone around him. His wife abandoned him, his siblings disrespect him, his father gets exasperated with him constantly sleeping on the job and eating pieces of the customers' food, and even his daughter, who means the world to him, gets annoyed with him as well. And when she is captured by a giant monster, the American and Korean doctors refuse to listen to him when he tries to tell them that she's still alive. | |

Game of Thrones: Despite Viserys being the brains of his and Dany's attempt to reclaim the Iron Throne during his time on the show, almost all of the attention, both positive and negative, was directed toward his sister. All of the Dothraki were in love with her, and King Robert primarily focused on her when dreading their return (not that Viserys actually knew this; to him, Robert was his Arch-Nemesis, but Robert was more concerned with Dany having children, making this a case of Unknown Rival). Since Viserys was doing all of this so he could be on the throne and not Dany, it perhaps explains why he went off the rails so much more toward the end of his life. Theon Greyjoy's lot in life. As the hostage/ward to keep his father in line the guy is seen by both as a stain that they can't get rid of. Tellingly taking Winterfell, the seat of power for the Starks, gets him absolutely no respect from either side, and captured for years-long torture. The guy does get a nod of respect just before his Redemption Equals Death. |

Robot Chicken: Violently deconstructed in a sketch where a new sniper joins the G.I. Joe team, only to be given an Embarrassing Nickname, repeatedly humiliated, and left behind like he's The Load. This drives him to join Cobra (amazingly enough Cobra Commander also gives him an embarrassing nickname, but by this point the sniper had Stopped Caring), and he gets his Who's Laughing Now? moment by killing every single Joe... except Duke, who gets some Cruel Mercy when he pleads for death too. | |

Danny Phantom: Danny Fenton, although he isn't the smartest in the trio consisting of himself, Sam, and Tucker. And then came Reign Storm, where from there, Danny steadily loses that status. Tucker is a much more proper example. In one episode, a ghost frames him for the bad things happening to other people. However, once Tucker became the mayor of Amity Park in the Series Finale, it's safe to say he got a good bit of respect. |

On classic Doctor Who, Harry Sullivan spent most of his short time as a companion being picked on, insulted, and belittled by the Fourth Doctor. To the point that the Doctor felt justified in shouting "HARRY SULLIVAN IS AN IMBECILE!" to the sky over a misjudgement (which, granted, would have blown up both Harry and the Doctor). He returned to his regular job very quickly and never looked back. | |

In Shark Tale, this is Oscar's main motivation: He doesn't seem to get much respect at the Whale Wash, and seems to get himself into unwanted situations. In his youth, he admired his dad Earl's work at the Wash so much he decided to bring it to school for show and tell, only for the class to cruelly mock him. This tragic disaster causes him to consider himself a loser and a "nobody." Since then, Oscar believes that in order to get the respect he yearns for, he has to become rich and famous. He finds his chance when the shark chasing him is killed by a fallen anchor and takes the credit becoming known as the "Sharkslayer." Oscar soon lets his great white lie go into his head and make him rich, not noticing or appreciating what he already had, until Angie blurts out her crush and genuine respect for him, leading Oscar to his Character Development. | |

Youmu is a playable character, which means that she regularly squares off against threats to Gensokyo, which usually includes Reality Warping Physical God or other individuals of equivalent power.

Code Monkeys has Jerry and Mary. Jerry's chops are busted either through his association with his best friend Dave or pointing out a critical flaw in his plans, and Mary gets the brunt of Mr. Larrity's bad attitude because he's unapologetically sexist. Mary sometimes has it coming thanks to her Straw Feminist role (even when Larrity and the others aren't being blatantly sexist). |

Poor Gunner First Class Jurgen from the Ciaphas Cain series always gets overlooked by everyone — most of his fellow soldiers don't consider him a "proper" Guardsman and none of the official histories or memoirs so much as mention him. (Exception: Sulla's... "writings"... mention him as Cain's aide, but never by name.) Admittedly, he's a walking disaster area hygienically and a blank, which makes people either respond to him with revulsion or flat-out ignore him, but you'd think someone would notice the number of situations he'd personally melta-gunned into submission. Luckily the one person whose opinion matters to him is Cain, and Cain thinks Jurgen is the more heroic of the pair and is constantly annoyed by the oversight. | |

Empowered... dear Lord, Empowered. Setting aside the fact that the general populace and criminal element all regard her as a joke, the level of emotional abuse and sexual harassment she deals with from the 'Superhomeys' reaches the point where they are the ones posting pictures of her on the internet after the villains leave her chained up humiliatingly for them to find. Not to mention the fact that her teammates forgot about her after a battle and left her trapped/embedded in the landscape more than once. At least one reader has wondered why she has not thrown her lot in with the Forces of Evil out of sheer spite. Probably because the Forces of Evil also humiliate her and sell pictures of her tied up and half-nude on the internet. Who'd kill the, um, cash cow? She's also genuinely dedicated to fighting crime and being a hero. Presumably it's the only thing keeping her from buying a muumuu and running off to become a hermit. |

Jabberjaw: In spite of being the drummer for the Neptunes, Jabberjaw gets no respect because he's a shark. He equally gets no respect from Shelley, the band's tambourinist. | |

Family Guy: Meg is the Only Sane Man on her family, and receives constant mistreatment from the rest of her family. Then again, without her acting as the No Respect Guy, her family would quickly tear each other apart if the episode "Seahorse Seashell Party" is anything to go by. In fact, in that episode, she chooses to maintain the status of the No Respect Guy in order to keep them happy. | |

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth: Edgeworth's respect vanished immediately after he got the spotlight. In the first game, he gets accused of murder, is knocked out by a Proto Badger, is insulted by virtually everyone who isn't Kay or Gumshoe, gets whipped by Franziska constantly, encounters Oldbag twice, and let's not even mention anything regarding his Steel Samurai fanboyism. The second game isn't much better: for about half the game, Courtney and Sebastian constantly treat him like a lousy prosecutor, try to take away his investigation rights, and seek to strip him of his badge (although Courtney was secretly on Edgeworth's side all along). | |

Gravity Falls has Dipper Pines. Despite being (usually) one of the most down-to-earth characters with some serious insecurities and self-worth issues, he's the butt of nearly every joke from... everyone, really. Though his family usually does it without meaning to. This is juxtaposed with his twin sister Mabel, who's super confident, rarely criticized, and openly loved by everyone. While Mabel's mistakes in the show often come without overly serious consequences (until the finale), Dipper's desperate efforts to prove he's worth being listened to usually all end in horrifying disaster. | |
