*Lightning from WebAnimation/WolfSongTheMovie is this trope incarnate. He is always shown with either a stern expression or a snarl, speaks in a gruff manner with almost no tonal variation, but the contrast with either situations or other characters and his responses to things means half his screen time he is like this (only the more serious scenes he gets involved in being the exception)

* A lot of the fun in ''Series/{{Taskmaster}}'' comes from Creator/AlexHorne, the resident ButtMonkey and BeleagueredAssistant to Creator/GregDavies. While he's not ''entirely'' stone-faced and actually does grin and laugh quite a bit during the on-stage segments, he tends to react this way during the tasks. Whatever ludicrous thing the contestant is forced to do, and their [[RulesLawyer inane interpretations of the wording of the task]], he tends to stand by and watch with scorn, bemusement, or completely expressionless, following their requests to the letter and answering their questions with [[MathematiciansAnswer matter-of-fact straightforward honesty]].

** David Baddiel snuggled nicely into this role in Series 9. Like Alex he's certainly not entirely stone-faced, but he has a habit of saying and doing utterly ridiculous things while keeping an entirely straight-face. Time and time again he utterly ''destroys'' the crowd, the other contestants, and Greg and Alex alike by simply asking a mind-numbingly dumb question with absolute innocent conviction.
