You know the character, the wound up, by-the-book character who has no flexibility or sense of humor. Tends to be a Straight Man or a Butt-Monkey at times. See also: Neat Freak, Nervous Wreck. Compare: The Perfectionist, Obstructive Bureaucrat. |

CSI: NY: Mac Taylor, who once tells a scheming reporter, "I *am* a big fan of the rules," has been accused of this. Danny says to Lindsay, when she's the victim of an office prank, that the word "joke" isn't in Mac's vocabulary. It isn't as pronounced later on as in the first few seasons, though. He loosens slightly after a couple of near-death experiences and beginning a romance with an old friend. | |

Thomas & Friends's two passenger coaches, Annie and Clarabel are this. They nitpick Thomas' behavior constantly and fuss over the speed he travels (he has a lot of fun with this one in "Not So Slow Coaches"). Gordon found them unbearable to work with after a mishap left them his substitute Express coaches. | |

Detective Frank Pembleton from Homicide: Life on the Street is a rigid, uptight snob who does not react well to being pushed out of his comfort zone. When the detectives are forced to work out of an abandoned bank for a few episodes, Pembleton spends the entire time having a meltdown (albeit partially because of his stress over his wife's pregnancy). | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM): Princess Sally Acorn, to foil the reckless, fun-loving Sonic. Though she is played more primarily as The Straight Man than other examples, her neuroses are a large source of comedy for her character. She starts off this way in the comic adaptation as well, though by later comics she is more laid back. | |

Rupert Giles in the early seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and then Wesley when he came in as the Suspiciously Similar Substitute in season 3. Both left it behind by the later seasons of Buffy and Angel. One of the Buffy characters actually lampshaded it, but I forget if it was directed at Giles or Wesley...it was a variant of the old 'stick up your butt' joke. | |
