Characters who turn out to be NotSoAboveItAll in {{Anime}} and {{Manga}}.
----
* ''Manga/AirGear'' gives us Ringo Noyamano. With the exception of her stint as [[PaperThinDisguise Croissant Mask]], which gave her eternal embarrassment, in earlier volumes, Ringo was always more levelheaded and normal than the entirety of Team Kogarasumaru put together and was typically divorced from their antics. However, in later volumes, she gives in and lets them sweep her up in their enthusiasm, showing herself to be just as weird as the rest of them and even getting involved in their [[SuperSentaiStance team poses]].
* Yuu Nanami from ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'' is not only serious compared to the other members, but she got into meteorology out of a sense of duty toward others, rather than genuine enjoyment of the subject. Despite that, when she sees a rainbow, she enthusiastically shares what she knows about it, indicating she may have genuine enthusiasm in the field.
* This happens to Yomi in ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' sometimes, most memorably when she tricked Osaka into eating spicy food that ended up giving her hiccups.
* Leo of ''Manga/BloodBlockadeBattlefront'' has a moment in episode 6 where he yells at Zapp for getting Libra into the plot of the episode before betting on Klaus to win his bout in the fighting arena.
* In ''Manga/BlueExorcist'', [[TeenGenius Yukio]] is the serious, studious of the Okumura [[FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling brothers]], much [[BigLittleBrother different]] from his [[IdiotHero elder]] [[HotBlooded brother]] [[AntiAntiChrist Rin]]. At times though, he shows that he ''does'' have a sense of humour; as his [[HiddenDepths collection and love]] of gag manga shows, he has a well-developed sense of humour.
* ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'': After their initial appearance, the more "serious" characters such as Heppokomaru/Gasser eventually start slipping into bouts of silliness, not unlike that of the title character. Beauty being the sole subversion, with ''maybe'' one or two slips that she quickly recovers from.
** In probably one of the fastest instants of the trope, Hatenko is introduced and he comes across as one of the few sane people in Bobobo, even expressing shock at how Bobobo could forget him so fast. And then he sees Don Patch and [[{{Fanboy}} promptly loses it.]]
* ''Manga/CaseClosed'':
** [[OlderThanTheyLook Conan]] once started screaming and yelling in celebration when his favorite soccer team won a big game, prompting Haibara [[DeadpanSnarker to snark]] that "The master sleuth was just a jumpy little boy" when it came to soccer. More than once, it's also shown that Conan has picked up some of Kogoro's bad habits.
** Ai Haibara is typically the single most serious and snarky member of the main cast, but there are scattered moments across the series where her face lights up when she sees animals or gets scared during a Kaiju movie. The biggest moment of this trope is the "Secret of a Big Couple" arc, in which Haibara's serious personality does a near 180 when she learns her favorite soccer player is rumored to be having an affair with a local idol singer. Her behavior throughout, including hiring Kogoro to investigate the affair and deleting all the singer's music from her phone, is more like a jealous fangirl or an actual child with a PrecociousCrush than an eighteen-year-old DeadpanSnarker. When the rumors prove unfounded, she's happily singing the idol's songs and insisting on playing soccer even as the weather turns stormy.
* In ''Manga/FairyTail'', Hades and Mavis are arguably among the most purely evil and most purely good (respectively) among any of the characters in the entire series. Both have moments of sheer oddball-ness that rank among the funniest quirks of anyone in the series. Both are [[spoiler:former Fairy Tail guild masters]]. Coincidence?
** Erza will often scold her guildmates for their constant brawling, and the ensuing destruction it causes. However, if anyone provokes her in the slightest way, she'll almost certainly jump in to join. Including one notorious incident regarding a [[LostFoodGrievance strawberry cake]].
* In ''Manga/GakuenBabysitters'', Inomata will often state how childish some action is or point out why people shouldn't be doing what everyone else is doing. However, later on, usually in the same chapter, she is either "forced" to do it by simply asking her, or is trying it out in secret such as pretending to ride a broom like a witch.
* Hiiragi from ''Manga/HanamaruKindergarten'' is a highly intelligent kindergartner who can read and understand adult literature. This does nothing to stop her lighting up at a chance to go down the big slide or being so overwhelmed by a compliment on her costume that she bursts into dance.
* Hare, the star of the lesser-known anime ''Anime/HareGuu'', is ''so'' normal and level-headed, compared to ''any'' of the other characters, that he eventually snaps at one point and erupts into a violent rampage. [[spoiler:Granted, he was drunk at the time.]]
* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'':
** At the end of ''The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya'' Kyon admits to himself that he does, in fact, enjoy the crazy antics the SOS-Dan finds themselves in.
** Yuki also has moments where she just gives in to blatant silliness, such as choosing a funny nickname for herself when Kyon blackmails Haruhi with one or wearing silly hats for no real reason.
* ''Manga/HenZemi'': Nanako plays the straight man at the start, but as the show progresses, she realises that she isn't as [[NotSoDifferentRemark different]] as she thought.
* ''Anime/IrresponsibleCaptainTylor'''s SeriousBusiness staff officers [[{{Tsundere}} Yuriko Star]] and [[NumberTwo Lt. Yamamoto]] remain the sanest characters at the end of the series... but loosen up greatly between the beginning and the end, largely due to Tylor's cheerful disregard for rules.
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
** ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]'': During his younger years, Jonathan showed some traits that wouldn't be out of place with his descendants. He only mellows down as an adult due to his father's strict upbringing and the gentleman standards of his time period.
** ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'': During Joseph and Caesar's first meeting over a game of cards, Caesar realizes Joseph's cheating and grabs his arm, shaking out several cards concealed in his wristband. A moment later, Joseph grabs Caesar's leg and yanks it up, revealing a mirror on his shoe - they were ''both'' cheating.
** ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'': Avdol is very conscious of his image and outright says he's not happy being caught in sillier shenanigans when dealing with Mariah. However, he's shown to get angry easily, and as the battle with Cameo shows, he can do some pretty outrageous stuff (peeing into a ReedSnorkel) if he feels like it.
** ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]'': Rohan is 'almost' the StraightMan, but he doesn't hold back to gloat on himself winning a RockPaperScissors game, or resorting to committing [[HumblePie acts of embarrassment]] when a Stand is attached to his back.
** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'': After being accosted by a random rich guy for dropping wine on his shirt and knocking that guy out, Narancia accused that guy of being an enemy in hiding, which prompted Mista to join him in [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown kicking the unconscious guy.]] Abbacchio looked at them and took a sip on a wine glass as if looking at the scene with disdain due to believing that such things should be beneath them... only to join the kicking in the next cut.
* Superintendent Akechi from ''Manga/TheKindaichiCaseFiles'' is initially introduced as a dignified, elitist InsufferableGenius who acts as Kindaichi's StockShonenRival. After acknowledging Kindaichi's skills (not that he'd admit it, of course), he mellows down a bit, and his rivalry with Kindaichi is treated as a petty/childish VitriolicBestBuds bickering rather than any serious attempt to challenge or undermine Kindaichi's efforts.
* In ''LightNovel/KyoKaraMaoh'', this happens to Gwendal periodically. He's TheStoic, serious and very dedicated to his duties as one of the demon king's retainers. He's usually left behind to manage the castle while the others go off and have adventures...along with BunnyEarsLawyer Gunter and GadgeteerGenius Annissina, his childhood friend who just lives to test her inventions on Gwendal and Gunter. None of the rest of the castle staff are any saner, and Gwendal gets dragged into things far more often than he'd like.
* In the BeachEpisode of ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'', Erina Wan starts handing out flyers about how to be safe at the beach, only to discover everyone slipped off while she was talking. She protests that they could have at least read the flyer, before doing a clothing fling, revealing she was wearing a swimsuit under her uniform and runs off to join the others.
* Centorea in ''Manga/MonsterMusume'' is easily the most [[StraightMan dignified]] and [[OnlySaneMan level headed]] of Kimihito's roommates (at least until Rachnera joins the harem). However, she's fairly dorky herself, and is frequently roped into the other girls' shenanigans. She isn't above using a situation to get intimate with Kimihito when she wants either. And while it's never shown on-screen, she makes numerous reference that show she's also a huge manga and RPG fan, like assuming that a slime will be easy to defeat because it's a low-level enemy in most video games.
* In the final episode of ''Anime/MyHime'', [[DefrostingIceQueen Natsuki]] steals [[HotBlooded Midori's]] thunder by calling out, "Hime-Sentai/Rangers, go!" There was an earlier hint, as, during the Karaoke episode, she was seen laughing long and loud at her arch-enemy Nao's skimpy karaoke outfit and lousy singing.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** In the manga, [[http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x198/awambawamb/naruto/Naruto_v38_ch347_08.png Konohamaru shows Naruto his new variant of the Sexy no Jutsu, featuring two girls in a ...''compromising'' position.]] Sakura was less than pleased at the Jutsu until Konohamaru tried it on her using [[HoYay Sai and Sasuke]] instead. Worked like a charm on ''[[YaoiFangirl her]]'', but then pissed Naruto off.
** There's also the anime episode in which Naruto decides to see what's behind Kakashi's mask. [[TheStoic Sasuke]] gets a little too invested.
** Kakashi shows this as well in the episode where he and Gai race across Konoha.
** A filler arc has the [[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce Curry of Life]], to which not even Neji is immune. Rock Lee, naturally, [[TrademarkFavoriteFood loves it]].
** Neji won't admit to lowkey participating in Gai and Lee's race from the Sand Village to the Leaf.
* This happens to [[DeadpanSnarker Chi]][[MetaGuy same]] in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' frequently, but most notably when [[spoiler:Poyo's LotusEaterMachine]] proves that, despite having been forced into a FantasyKitchenSink, she's the happiest and most satisfied with her life of anyone in the group.
* Sakamoto the cat from ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'' tries very hard to be the respectable adult in a household with an eight-year-old inventor and her one-year-old wind-up robot. This ultimately always fails when presented with anything he can bat around with his paws.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** Jimbei, who is TheStoic and badass fishman in likeness to Comicbook/{{Aquaman}}, has become skilled in the WildTake since the TimeSkip, first seen during his reunion with the Straw Hats and seen several times afterward to the end of the Fishman Island arc. Another example of it is when he carefully thinks up a complicated plan to save his beloved Fishman Island and King Neptune, who are nearly taken over by Hody Jones. However, he wastes time on one last detail: what name the plan shall take.
** Trafalgar Law has been growing more and more like this. It starts in Chapter 700: [[spoiler:the more he hangs around the Straw Hats, the less he can resist participating in their hijinks]]. And the more chapters that progress, the less he's able to suppress his emotions; [[spoiler:Luffy]] and the others are just too much of an influence on him.
** Basically, every serious-minded character in ''One Piece'' are shown to have their quirks when they are fleshed out. Among the Straw Hats: Zoro is extremely serious but likes a good booze party from time to time, and that's not even mentioning his [[NoSenseOfDirection lack of direction]], but that's more in the lines of TheComicallySerious. Nami is generally one of the more sensible members of the crew, but when she smells [[MoneyFetish money]], she loses all her brain activity and will act stupid in even the tensest situation -- and she also likes to party. Usopp is along with Nami often a MetaGuy, but he isn't at all above goofing off with Luffy and Chopper. Robin is generally seen as the most stoic and "normal" character, but she regularly falls into strange girl territory with things like her morbid comments and unusual {{Imagine Spot}}s. Also, she rarely calls her more quirky members out on their wackiness, she just sits at the sidelines and smiles at them. [[spoiler:And as of the Dressrosa arc, her crewmates' influence has finally gotten to her; she has begun using the WildTake.]]
** Perhaps the best example of this is the Davy Back Fight. Everyone believes Luffy's new afro has given him superhuman power. Nami can't believe it and turns to Robin for confirmation that she isn't the only sane one. ''Robin believes it too.'' Nami is absolutely dumbfounded (though Robin could've just been playing along):
--->'''Chopper''': Is Luffy gonna win?\\
'''Robin''': Of course. He's wearing an afro.
** Used for heartwarming during the Post-Enies Lobby Party when she offers to take part in Luffy's "How much meat can you eat" contest, since it shows that [[TrueCompanions she has come to fully accept the crew as her family]].
** Former Fleet Admiral Sengoku has been nothing but the StraightMan during the first half of the series since he's always anguishing over anything that threatens the Marines and World Government and is always working hard to counter the pirate threat. The only hint of quirkiness was that he brought his pet goat with him ''everywhere''. But once he resigns, it is shown that he's not so different from Garp and is now cheerful and carefree, eating snacks while learning of world-shaking events like another Shichibukai falling, suggesting that his seriousness was nothing but TheChainsOfCommanding.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Most of the main companions who are supposed to be Ash's senior and voice of reason suffer from this a fair amount:
** Misty had to lecture Ash throughout most of his rookie tenure, and like Iris, thrives on calling out his idiotic habits. At the same time, however, she is near equally arrogant and short-tempered, and half her Pokemon have the same teething issues as Ash (most infamously Psyduck). Even Ash sometimes calls her out on how rude and bull-headed she can sometimes be. WordOfGod states that Misty was actually intended to be rather inept in reality.
** Brock was the oldest of the companions, usually serving as the TeamDad and holding the most intellect and clarity over the gang's experiences. Whenever he saw a pretty girl, however, [[ChivalrousPervert it all dropped in a flash.]]
** Iris often calls people children and pointing out their mistakes, no matter how justifiable they are. (She shows Ash no sympathy for not knowing about Unova, despite him being a foreigner.) She's shown to be extremely immature by [[TheGlomp glomping]] Pokemon and hurting them by accident. Ash himself [[CharacterDevelopment eventually stops giving into Iris's insults]], which causes her to tone them down a bit. And while Iris herself is a competent Trainer, for the first half of her saga, her team is underdeveloped or disloyal.
* ''Anime/{{Promare}}'': [[spoiler:Kray Foresight]] blatantly demands Galo to cease his habit of [[CallingYourAttacks making up random attack names]] while fighting him in their respective mecha. He then immediately after calls out his own mech attacks.
* ''Anime/SailorMoon'':
** Ami is typically the most mature and responsible of the girls. When they all go to a dance with some English exchange students (French in TheNineties English dub), all of the other girls want to dance with [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Haruka]]. When Usagi gets the first dance Makoto, Rei and Minako start playing Rock-Paper-Scissors to see who gets the next dance. When Usagi is finished dancing, we see [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background]] that the girls are still playing RockPaperScissors. And Ami has now joined in.
** The infamous ''Snow White'' episode has the girls arguing over who should play the lead role. Ami believes that she could play the role since Snow White only has a few lines and even begs to at one point. The next few scenes then have her and the other girls arguing with each other, culminating with all of them, including Ami yelling at both Umino and Naru for intervening.
** There's also another episode where she surprisingly agrees to stop studying for the day so they can all go down to a film shoot and ogle a famous movie star. She needs very little persuasion.
** There's the episode in ''S'' where Makoto goes out of town to train. The girls decide to pay a visit to cheer her on. But there also happens to be a resort hotel with a pool nearby. Minako reveals she brought a swimsuit for the occasion. Rei reveals she brought one also, as does Usagi. Luna and Artemis moan that Ami seems to be the only one who ''only'' came to cheer on Makoto — until she sheepishly admits she brought her swimsuit, too. In the same episode, after Rei, Usagi and Minako start throwing pillows around in an argument, a stray pillow hits Ami in the face, and she escalates it into a full pillow fight.
** And in the Season 1 finale, the other girls are talking about how they plan to have full-blown romances when the BigBad is defeated. Ami -- who is the least boy-crazy of them -- remarks that she might get a boyfriend too. [[LampshadeHanging Cue everyone gawking at her]] and a LuminescentBlush.
** In ''Stars'', an incident involving [[{{Bifauxnen}} Seiya]] and a short towel leaves all the girls shocked, and Ami [[CovertPervert seems to be peeking between her face-covering hands]].
** Luna gets a lot of moments like these as well. When Usagi freaks out about gaining half a pound, Luna sketches a fat caricature of her. When Artemis is having a bad day, Luna joins in with the teasing too (though does back off when she realizes he's legit offended). Also, Luna usually scolds Usagi for her BigEater habits but in one episode she enjoys some of Ikuko's home-made treats -- and complains when Usagi takes them to share with Rei.
** Serenity is Usagi's OlderAndWiser self. She is a regal queen most of the time, however, there are scenes that show that she's still ''Usagi'' after all. She still has some of her goofy qualities.
** Related to the above, in one episode of ''[=SuperS=]'' has Diana reveal to Luna that whenever some royal meeting was supposed to happen the King and Queen (the future Mamoru and Usagi) would always get sick. Luna even comments, "The King, too?"
* In ''Manga/{{Saki}}'', Teru is an emotionally detached AloofBigSister who appears completely humorless. But in the spinoff, ''Saki Biyori'', a series of comedic 4koma strips, she goes along with the relatively silly Awai's suggestions.
* Nami Hitou of ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' is the [[DysfunctionJunction dysfunctional cast's]] [[OnlySaneMan token normal girl]]. Unfortunately, she has a complex about being called normal because she equates it with boring.
* The entire life of Zelgadis from the anime ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}''. Originally a series villain who frequently switched sides to pursue his own agenda, he was derided for his stoicism and attempts to maintain a "cool and mysterious" image by the slapstick-prone cast and writers. By the second season, the damage was done and he was seen cross-dressing in a frantic attempt to enter a tennis doubles tournament with a mixed-gender teams requirement.
* ''Manga/SoulEater'': During the Lust chapter, Tsubaki is discovered to be much more perverted than anyone would have guessed (being the most perverted out of them, barring Blair, and narrowly beating Liz). Especially considering how she reacted to Black Star peeping on her.
** Granted, when she would hit him, she berated him for ''[[DoWrongRight getting caught...]]''
* In ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', Asuna's mother, Kyouko, is a strict and serious EducationMama, albeit one who can lose her temper if her buttons are pressed. When Asuna convinces Kyouko to log onto ALO to see Asuna's house, Kyouko immediately notices that her avatar feels light. Asuna points out that this is only natural, since the avatar only weighs 40 kg (roughly 88 pounds, far less than what an average adult woman weighs), prompting Kyouko to chide Asuna and ask if she's gained weight. Asuna realizes that this is the first time in a long time that she and her mother have been able to have a conversation about nothing.
* In ''Manga/WastefulDaysOfHighSchoolGirls'', while Masatake "Waseda" Sawatari tries to be professional and {{stern|teacher}} at all times on campus, he couldn't help but whip out his phone to take selfies of himself with Baka and Yamai, [[HelpImStuck who got their heads stuck in a huge cutout]]. [[https://i.imgur.com/Uc92oCZ.png One photo]] even has goofy filters slapped onto every face, ''including his own''.
* Straight from ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', we have Jack Atlas. Yusei's rival who is a Kaiba expy, acts like a serious duelist and runs some fearsome monsters in his deck such as "Red Dragon Archfiend". However, type up "Jack Atlas Cup Ramen" and you will ''never'' see him the same way again.
** From the same franchise, in ''Anime/YuGiOhSEVENS'', we have Neiru Saionji, the calm and collected admin of the Garden of Providence. When, in “The Goha-Rush Tournament” Arc, the other characters and him go to a ramen restaurant, he declares ramen to be “a new Providence”, even skipping out on most of a duel so he can have more.
*** Roa, the charismatic and smooth-talking lead guitarist of Roa-Romin, tries to tease him about this… Only for it to be pointed out that ''he himself'' had visited the place five days in a row.
*** His cousin, Romin, usually acts as the OnlySaneWoman of the main cast, but even she has moments of goofiness, like when she joined [[IdiotHero Luke]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext in eating the monument made out of sweets]].
*** We also have Neiru’s massage chair/butler (don’t ask) Sebastian. Despite claiming to lack emotions, he got ''very'' pissed off when Yuga managed to hold off his OneTurnKill. [[NightmareFuel It was quite terrifying]]. On a lighter note, he was clearly enjoying himself during his duel with Finger Chikako in episode 34.
* Kurama from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho.'' He is the team's resident [[TheSmartGuy Smart Guy]], is actually a [[AsianFoxSpirit Kitsune]] that is over a thousand years old and likes to act cool-headed, rational and intelligent. Then we get to see he is not above sarcastically teasing Yusuke or cheating at card games. Then the Chapter Black arc came along and we find out he is a huge video game nerd.

Characters who turn out to be NotSoAboveItAll in {{Anime}} and {{Manga}}.
----
* ''Manga/AirGear'' gives us Ringo Noyamano. With the exception of her stint as [[PaperThinDisguise Croissant Mask]], which gave her eternal embarrassment, in earlier volumes, Ringo was always more levelheaded and normal than the entirety of Team Kogarasumaru put together and was typically divorced from their antics. However, in later volumes, she gives in and lets them sweep her up in their enthusiasm, showing herself to be just as weird as the rest of them and even getting involved in their [[SuperSentaiStance team poses]].
* Yuu Nanami from ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'' is not only serious compared to the other members, but she got into meteorology out of a sense of duty toward others, rather than genuine enjoyment of the subject. Despite that, when she sees a rainbow, she enthusiastically shares what she knows about it, indicating she may have genuine enthusiasm in the field.
* This happens to Yomi in ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' sometimes, most memorably when she tricked Osaka into eating spicy food that ended up giving her hiccups.
* Leo of ''Manga/BloodBlockadeBattlefront'' has a moment in episode 6 where he yells at Zapp for getting Libra into the plot of the episode before betting on Klaus to win his bout in the fighting arena.
* In ''Manga/BlueExorcist'', [[TeenGenius Yukio]] is the serious, studious of the Okumura [[FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling brothers]], much [[BigLittleBrother different]] from his [[IdiotHero elder]] [[HotBlooded brother]] [[AntiAntiChrist Rin]]. At times though, he shows that he ''does'' have a sense of humour; as his [[HiddenDepths collection and love]] of gag manga shows, he has a well-developed sense of humour.
* ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'': After their initial appearance, the more "serious" characters such as Heppokomaru/Gasser eventually start slipping into bouts of silliness, not unlike that of the title character. Beauty being the sole subversion, with ''maybe'' one or two slips that she quickly recovers from.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** Jimbei, who is TheStoic and badass fishman in likeness to Comicbook/{{Aquaman}}, has become skilled in the WildTake since the TimeSkip, first seen during his reunion with the Straw Hats and seen several times afterward to the end of the Fishman Island arc. Another example of it is when he carefully thinks up a complicated plan to save his beloved Fishman Island and King Neptune, who are nearly taken over by Hody Jones. However, he wastes time on one last detail: what name the plan shall take.
** Trafalgar Law has been growing more and more like this. It starts in Chapter 700: [[spoiler:the more he hangs around the Straw Hats, the less he can resist participating in their hijinks]]. And the more chapters that progress, the less he's able to suppress his emotions; [[spoiler:Luffy]] and the others are just too much of an influence on him.
** Basically, every serious-minded character in ''One Piece'' are shown to have their quirks when they are fleshed out. Among the Straw Hats: Zoro is extremely serious but likes a good booze party from time to time, and that's not even mentioning his [[NoSenseOfDirection lack of direction]], but that's more in the lines of TheComicallySerious. Nami is generally one of the more sensible members of the crew, but when she smells [[MoneyFetish money]], she loses all her brain activity and will act stupid in even the tensest situation -- and she also likes to party. Usopp is along with Nami often a MetaGuy, but he isn't at all above goofing off with Luffy and Chopper. Robin is generally seen as the most stoic and "normal" character, but she regularly falls into strange girl territory with things like her morbid comments and unusual {{Imagine Spot}}s. Also, she rarely calls her more quirky members out on their wackiness, she just sits at the sidelines and smiles at them. [[spoiler:And as of the Dressrosa arc, her crewmates' influence has finally gotten to her; she has begun using the WildTake.]]
** Perhaps the best example of this is the Davy Back Fight. Everyone believes Luffy's new afro has given him superhuman power. Nami can't believe it and turns to Robin for confirmation that she isn't the only sane one. ''Robin believes it too.'' Nami is absolutely dumbfounded (though Robin could've just been playing along):
--->'''Chopper''': Is Luffy gonna win?\\
'''Robin''': Of course. He's wearing an afro.
** Used for heartwarming during the Post-Enies Lobby Party when she offers to take part in Luffy's "How much meat can you eat" contest, since it shows that [[TrueCompanions she has come to fully accept the crew as her family]].
** Former Fleet Admiral Sengoku has been nothing but the StraightMan during the first half of the series since he's always anguishing over anything that threatens the Marines and World Government and is always working hard to counter the pirate threat. The only hint of quirkiness was that he brought his pet goat with him ''everywhere''. But once he resigns, it is shown that he's not so different from Garp and is now cheerful and carefree, eating snacks while learning of world-shaking events like another Shichibukai falling, suggesting that his seriousness was nothing but TheChainsOfCommanding.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Most of the main companions who are supposed to be Ash's senior and voice of reason suffer from this a fair amount:
** Misty had to lecture Ash throughout most of his rookie tenure, and like Iris, thrives on calling out his idiotic habits. At the same time, however, she is near equally arrogant and short-tempered, and half her Pokemon have the same teething issues as Ash (most infamously Psyduck). Even Ash sometimes calls her out on how rude and bull-headed she can sometimes be. WordOfGod states that Misty was actually intended to be rather inept in reality.
** Brock was the oldest of the companions, usually serving as the TeamDad and holding the most intellect and clarity over the gang's experiences. Whenever he saw a pretty girl, however, [[ChivalrousPervert it all dropped in a flash.]]
** Iris often calls people children and pointing out their mistakes, no matter how justifiable they are. (She shows Ash no sympathy for not knowing about Unova, despite him being a foreigner.) She's shown to be extremely immature by [[TheGlomp glomping]] Pokemon and hurting them by accident. Ash himself [[CharacterDevelopment eventually stops giving into Iris's insults]], which causes her to tone them down a bit. And while Iris herself is a competent Trainer, for the first half of her saga, her team is underdeveloped or disloyal.
* ''Anime/{{Promare}}'': [[spoiler:Kray Foresight]] blatantly demands Galo to cease his habit of [[CallingYourAttacks making up random attack names]] while fighting him in their respective mecha. He then immediately after calls out his own mech attacks.
* ''Anime/SailorMoon'':
** Ami is typically the most mature and responsible of the girls. When they all go to a dance with some English exchange students (French in TheNineties English dub), all of the other girls want to dance with [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Haruka]]. When Usagi gets the first dance Makoto, Rei and Minako start playing Rock-Paper-Scissors to see who gets the next dance. When Usagi is finished dancing, we see [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background]] that the girls are still playing RockPaperScissors. And Ami has now joined in.
** The infamous ''Snow White'' episode has the girls arguing over who should play the lead role. Ami believes that she could play the role since Snow White only has a few lines and even begs to at one point. The next few scenes then have her and the other girls arguing with each other, culminating with all of them, including Ami yelling at both Umino and Naru for intervening.
** There's also another episode where she surprisingly agrees to stop studying for the day so they can all go down to a film shoot and ogle a famous movie star. She needs very little persuasion.
** There's the episode in ''S'' where Makoto goes out of town to train. The girls decide to pay a visit to cheer her on. But there also happens to be a resort hotel with a pool nearby. Minako reveals she brought a swimsuit for the occasion. Rei reveals she brought one also, as does Usagi. Luna and Artemis moan that Ami seems to be the only one who ''only'' came to cheer on Makoto — until she sheepishly admits she brought her swimsuit, too. In the same episode, after Rei, Usagi and Minako start throwing pillows around in an argument, a stray pillow hits Ami in the face, and she escalates it into a full pillow fight.
** And in the Season 1 finale, the other girls are talking about how they plan to have full-blown romances when the BigBad is defeated. Ami -- who is the least boy-crazy of them -- remarks that she might get a boyfriend too. [[LampshadeHanging Cue everyone gawking at her]] and a LuminescentBlush.
** In ''Stars'', an incident involving [[{{Bifauxnen}} Seiya]] and a short towel leaves all the girls shocked, and Ami [[CovertPervert seems to be peeking between her face-covering hands]].
** Luna gets a lot of moments like these as well. When Usagi freaks out about gaining half a pound, Luna sketches a fat caricature of her. When Artemis is having a bad day, Luna joins in with the teasing too (though does back off when she realizes he's legit offended). Also, Luna usually scolds Usagi for her BigEater habits but in one episode she enjoys some of Ikuko's home-made treats -- and complains when Usagi takes them to share with Rei.
** Serenity is Usagi's OlderAndWiser self. She is a regal queen most of the time, however, there are scenes that show that she's still ''Usagi'' after all. She still has some of her goofy qualities.
** Related to the above, in one episode of ''[=SuperS=]'' has Diana reveal to Luna that whenever some royal meeting was supposed to happen the King and Queen (the future Mamoru and Usagi) would always get sick. Luna even comments, "The King, too?"
* In ''Manga/{{Saki}}'', Teru is an emotionally detached AloofBigSister who appears completely humorless. But in the spinoff, ''Saki Biyori'', a series of comedic 4koma strips, she goes along with the relatively silly Awai's suggestions.
* Nami Hitou of ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' is the [[DysfunctionJunction dysfunctional cast's]] [[OnlySaneMan token normal girl]]. Unfortunately, she has a complex about being called normal because she equates it with boring.
* The entire life of Zelgadis from the anime ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}''. Originally a series villain who frequently switched sides to pursue his own agenda, he was derided for his stoicism and attempts to maintain a "cool and mysterious" image by the slapstick-prone cast and writers. By the second season, the damage was done and he was seen cross-dressing in a frantic attempt to enter a tennis doubles tournament with a mixed-gender teams requirement.
* ''Manga/SoulEater'': During the Lust chapter, Tsubaki is discovered to be much more perverted than anyone would have guessed (being the most perverted out of them, barring Blair, and narrowly beating Liz). Especially considering how she reacted to Black Star peeping on her.
** Granted, when she would hit him, she berated him for ''[[DoWrongRight getting caught...]]''
* In ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', Asuna's mother, Kyouko, is a strict and serious EducationMama, albeit one who can lose her temper if her buttons are pressed. When Asuna convinces Kyouko to log onto ALO to see Asuna's house, Kyouko immediately notices that her avatar feels light. Asuna points out that this is only natural, since the avatar only weighs 40 kg (roughly 88 pounds, far less than what an average adult woman weighs), prompting Kyouko to chide Asuna and ask if she's gained weight. Asuna realizes that this is the first time in a long time that she and her mother have been able to have a conversation about nothing.
* In ''Manga/WastefulDaysOfHighSchoolGirls'', while Masatake "Waseda" Sawatari tries to be professional and {{stern|teacher}} at all times on campus, he couldn't help but whip out his phone to take selfies of himself with Baka and Yamai, [[HelpImStuck who got their heads stuck in a huge cutout]]. [[https://i.imgur.com/Uc92oCZ.png One photo]] even has goofy filters slapped onto every face, ''including his own''.
* Straight from ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', we have Jack Atlas. Yusei's rival who is a Kaiba expy, acts like a serious duelist and runs some fearsome monsters in his deck such as "Red Dragon Archfiend". However, type up "Jack Atlas Cup Ramen" and you will ''never'' see him the same way again.
** From the same franchise, in ''Anime/YuGiOhSEVENS'', we have Neiru Saionji, the calm and collected admin of the Garden of Providence. When, in “The Goha-Rush Tournament” Arc, the other characters and him go to a ramen restaurant, he declares ramen to be “a new Providence”, even skipping out on most of a duel so he can have more.
*** Roa, the charismatic and smooth-talking lead guitarist of Roa-Romin, tries to tease him about this… Only for it to be pointed out that ''he himself'' had visited the place five days in a row.
*** His cousin, Romin, usually acts as the OnlySaneWoman of the main cast, but even she has moments of goofiness, like when she joined [[IdiotHero Luke]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext in eating the monument made out of sweets]].
*** We also have Neiru’s massage chair/butler (don’t ask) Sebastian. Despite claiming to lack emotions, he got ''very'' pissed off when Yuga managed to hold off his OneTurnKill. [[NightmareFuel It was quite terrifying]]. On a lighter note, he was clearly enjoying himself during his duel with Finger Chikako in episode 34.
* Kurama from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho.'' He is the team's resident [[TheSmartGuy Smart Guy]], is actually a [[AsianFoxSpirit Kitsune]] that is over a thousand years old and likes to act cool-headed, rational and intelligent. Then we get to see he is not above sarcastically teasing Yusuke or cheating at card games. Then the Chapter Black arc came along and we find out he is a huge video game nerd.
