* In Webcomic/{{Polandball}}, [[WhiteSheep Slovenia]] serves as this for the ex-Yugoslavian countryballs, whom are established as being a major DysfunctionJunction. He's sane enough to stays out of their frequent arguments. Because of this, he often feels like he [[http://i.imgur.com/cUBCOZK.png doesn't belong]] with them and [[http://i.imgur.com/r1atrqS.png would rather align himself]] with Central Europe.

** And, while they were dating, she and Ace, tried to resolve the problems they were having in their relationship [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/couples_counselling by openly discussing it.]] Though they were abruptly cut off by [[JerkassGenie Tia's meddling.]]

* Kaitlyn Hu from ''WebComic/{{Precocious}}''. Her time spent observing the others has built up remarkable insight into the social dynamics of the class. She employs this to great effect [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2010/09/05 starting in this strip.]] The ensuing conversation provides her with justified time in the spotlight.

'''RM''': Now imagine what happens when PHYSICS tries to figure it out!\\
'''BM''': Seriously. Just stop...

'''BM''': That's so stupid I can't even see straight anymore.

** Redcloak's brother Right-Eye was so sane that he eventually abandoned Team Evil entirely to attempt peaceful co-existence with humans. He was doing pretty well too, until Xykon showed up again.

* [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]] plays this role in [[Webcomic/ZeusGodlyGoodtime Zeus' Godly Goodtime]] among the group that visits NintendoLand. He has to put up with the antics of [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents Zeus]], as well as [[BigEater Fat Princess]], [[{{Keet}} Parappa and Spike]], who were invited along by Zeus.

* D'artagnan in Webcomic/Ghettonauts seems to be the only character capable of non-surreal thought and intelligence. He suffers for this.

* Kaitlyn Hu in ''WebComic/{{Precocious}}'', although she occasionally joins the chaos for kicks.

* Zoe used to take on this role during the early years of ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''. She's still usually the most grounded member of the cast, but over time she's gotten used to the bizarre characters and events that fill her life.

* ''Webcomic/Sonichu'' has Magi-Chan, who is the only one that doesn't kiss Chris's ass all the time. Though there are some unfortunate side jobs of his AllThereInTheManual.

** During the prologue, he suggests that the best option would be to destroy the [[PlotCoupon Disaster Stone]] to prevent the awakening of the Nightmare Knight. Despite this, his GenreSavvy [[BloodKnight little]] [[JumpedAtTheCall sister]], deliberately [[InvokedTrope invoking]] YouCantThwartStageOne, just willingly GIVES it over to the enemy so that their epic quest wouldn't end prematurely & would have a BigBad for them to fight.

* Cucumber of ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest'' functions as this. He suggests that the best option would be to destroy the [[PlotCoupon Disaster Stone]] to prevent the awakening of the Nightmare Knight.

* Roy, from the ''[[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Order of the Stick]]'', typically takes this position at various points throughout the comic with his level-headed views. The SanityBall often trades hands in ''[=OotS=]'', generally to whoever's more experienced, grounded, or alive at the moment.

* Cherry from ''RPGWorld'' is another example of a character who doesn't quite grasp the video game logic she is living in.

* In ''TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'', Bob ''would'' fit this trope if not for the fact that he is, [[WeirdnessMagnet totally unintentionally,]] the cause of most of the insanity around himself; and that he is now [[GenreSavvy getting pretty used to it.]] His girlfriend Jean epitomizes this trope though, and is always capable of taking a few steps back and recognizing the absurdity of Bob's problems -- an acuity which invariably makes her life more difficult, as she must still deal with those problems even while recognizing how nuts they are.
