deleted some examples, because it is assumed that the Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist is a "Comedy Antiheroes.".

Erc Cartman, Blackadder, Zim and Bender, are Villain Protagonists, not Antiheroes.

I think you're being too literal. The description does not say the character is an antihero. It says they are a counterpart to an antihero. One of the main functions of an antihero is that they serve as a contrast to a regular hero. The Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist is a "counterpart" because they likewise contrast against the typically sympathetic version.

The words "unsympathetic comedy protagonist" are ridiculously apt for describing all of those characters. They are protagonists. They are comedic. And they are very, very unsympathetic. How does deleting them help? Why not work the description instead?

Blackadder is in a long line of British unsympathetic comedy protagonists. Characters definitely shouldn't be deleted on ^^ those grounds.

I edited the description and added the other examples back.

The edited description says it's a Jerk Ass in comedy who you're supposed to root for anyway. You're generally not supposed to root for a Villain Protagonist. So it still sounds like at least a type of comedy antiheroes, if not just any comedy antihero. The person being too literal is you, Tyoria.
