History ButtMonkey / LiveActionTV

* Frank Spencer, the main character of the classic BBC sitcom ''Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em'', is a likeable disaster magnet who has at one point rollerskated under a semi truck and hung off the side of an airplane.

* In ''{{QI}}'', Alan Davies.

** In AlmostLive, John Kiester got saddled with it, because Ross Schaffer's comedy persona was an obnoxious, smug [[TheEighties Eighties]] yuppie, and they wanted "the anti-Ross" to act as a foil.

* Lee Mack has become this on ''WouldILieToYou?''; the producers play up the fact that he is a BadLiar by giving him the stupidest lies possible, and he gets mocked a lot by the host's autocue jokes.

** Centauri ambassadorial aide Vir Cotto also might loosely qualify, but also seems to display qualities of the {{Baldrick}} (at least in the early seasons), TheUnfavourite (by his own account (the only reason he got such an important job is that his family didn't want him at home), the DidNotEatTheMousse and TheWoobie.

* Bud Bundy in ''{{Married with Children}}''. If he isn't having his scholarship money stolen by his parents or missing out on a once in a lifetime chance to meet the president, he is losing a toe to frost bite after being tricked by a girl, getting caught [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbating in the library]], being [[RapeAsComedy raped by a huge fat woman while trying to sneak past a bodyguard to have sex with a hot female singer]], growing breasts from an allergic reaction to an experimental pesticide or being dumped live on radio in front of his entire college. [[TheChewToy Still, he is marginally luckier than his father...]].

* Fez from [[That70sShow That '70s Show]], ever the effeminate, unlucky-with-the-ladies guy. Kelso also fills this role to some extent out of sheer stupidity.

* Andre from TheLeague recieves far more riddicule and taunting than any of his friends.

* Rachel Berry from ''{{Glee}}'' is actually ''such'' a Butt Monkey that even within a club full of Butt Monkeys, she ''still'' gets frequently insulted and snarked at for laughs over how irritating her fellow glee club members find her.
