* Gavin Kurz from ''Webcomic/Rain2010'' is this both literally and figuratively to [[CampGay Rudy Strongwell]] as well as to most of the main cast. He is generally very levelheaded and is quite calm and collected in stark contrast to the rest of the gang’s outrageous behavior and the often ridiculous situations they find themselves.

As [[CharacterizationMarchesOn the characterization marched on]], Tycho picked up some odd traits as well, and they tend to trade the roles more often than they used to. Usually, a random extra or the character's wives will tend to be the straight men to the guys' unhinged lunacy.
