* NotSoDifferent: Raj bonds with him after realizing that Zack is a comic book aficionado (''ComicBook/ArchieComics'', but still).

-->'''Hawking:''' What do Sheldon Cooper and a black hole have in common?…They both suck… ''[{{beat}}]''…neener, neener".

[[folder: Bertram "Bert" Kibbler]]

[[folder: Janine Davis]]

* NotSoStoic: She usually responds to the guys' shenanigans with unflappable professionalism (mixed with very understandable annoyance), but in "The Reaction Retraction," she's visibly about to burst out laughing when she reads the email Leonard (drunkenly) sent her.

[[folder: Ramona Nowitzki]]

[[folder: Colonel Richard Williams]]

[[folder: President Siebert]]

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Stuart is a comic book ''store''owner.

[[folder: Bertram "Bert" Kippler]]

* TheGenericGuy: A possible reason why he never got to become a potential eighth main character. His main trait is being unlucky and destitute, and he doesn't behave abnormally or chaotic.

-->'''Amy:''' If you don't mind me asking, why did you and your wife split up?
-->'''Dave:''' [[{{Understatement}} You know how it is, we wanted different things. I want children and she wanted a pastery chef named Jean-Philippe.]]
** And:
-->'''Dave:''' I doubt it was like this one [the date]. I mean, he's a genius [i.e. Sheldon]... [[ConnectedAllAlong I wasn't even smart enough to know why my wife was smelling like croissants!]]
** And:
-->'''Amy:''' When you were married, did your wife cook?
-->'''Dave:''' Uhh, not at first. But when she started cheating on me with the French chef she became quite the whiz of the kitchen.
** Later, at his third date, Sheldon ends up kissing Amy. Last thing he says:
-->'''Dave:''' What a great evening!

* GentleGiant: By far the tallest character in the series, rivaled only byy Bernadette's ex Glenn, and also a pretty affable guy, if a bit weird.

->'''Played by:''' Alessandra Torresani

->'''Played by:''' Sara Rue

The British man Amy had three dates with in season nine after she broke up with Sheldon. Dreams of being a math teacher.
