Like the Five-Man Band, there are certain character archetypes who just seem to fit together, a sort of Universal-Adaptor Cast, if you will. In any given Sitcom (especially an ensemble), you are likely to find at least two of the archetypes listed below. | |

Fez is a wannabe version of this in That '70s Show, though it seems to be pretty legitimate in the final season. Randy is a more refined Charmer. |

Jean-Ralphio Saperstein in Parks and Recreation is an obnoxious, slimy millionaire with several rather annoying habits such as breaking into song unprompted and hitting on every woman he meets. He's at best tolerated and at most loathed by everyone he meets with the exception of Tom Haverford. | |

Ted Bovis in Hi-de-Hi!. The Camp Host at Maplins, Ted is always on the ball with his wisecracks and smart remarks. His most frequent targets are the snobby ballroom dancers, Barry and Yvonne, who look down on him with disdain, not only for his snappy comments but also for the blue humour he uses with the campers. As Barry puts it in "It's a Blue World", with Ted, it isn't even innuendo. He says it. | |

Britta in Community constantly and ineffectually lectures the other members of the study group about whatever cause she's stumbled onto that week. Other characters use her name as a verb meaning "ruined." | |

Norm Scully and Michael Hitchcock in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Hitchcock is an Insufferable Imbecile and a Dirty Old Man who is almost never respected by the other members of the precinct. Scully is largely the same, but less so, and he has a Hidden Heart of Gold. | |

Leonard and Penny of The Big Bang Theory. Leonard is a physicist like his friends but is a fairly normal guy who is constantly nonplussed by the eccentric and geeky antics of Sheldon and other characters. Penny, their neighbor and an aspiring actress, is even more foreign to their world, and the two strike up an odd friendship as the odd ones out in their geeky social circle. | |

Tomo from Azumanga Daioh, and to some degree, Kagura as well. Tomo is a Know-Nothing Know-It-All who does poorly in school yet constantly draws attention to herself and instists she knows things. Kagura is a Dumb Jock with a high level of confidence, though she's not as outspoken as Tomo. | |

Seinfeld: George is this in terms of being the Jerkass. And there's Newman too, and Elaine in later seasons. Other than Kramer, Seinfeld's whole cast basically qualifies as they're all neurotic, complainy jerks. | |

The various Edmunds in Blackadder, whose Fatal Flaw that keeps them from advancing higher is their sharp tounge and smart mouth. In each series, the Edmunds serve a much dumber boss who they tolerate while attempting to exploit and outsmart, but get overconfident and over-snarky, usually preventing them from getting too much success. | |
