I don't think Ax actually fits this trope, although he certainly provides plenty of comic relief in the series. One of his main functions is to be the Mr. Exposition of the team, since he's the only non-human member—and he could've very easily performed a lot of his plot-important scenes about the same if he was always taken 100% seriously.
Current project: Cleaning up the Chrono Crusade examples one at a time. God help me.
Removed this example from the page:
- Ax from Animorphs is an example of this, particularly in the form of Sense Freak and Extreme Omnivore humor.
