* Morticia Addams in ''Film/TheAddamsFamily'' films. Creator/AnjelicaHuston plays the character low-key, simply accepting the weirdness around her as perfectly normal. And it is ''hilarious!''
** Wednesday too. Her [[LittleMissSnarker cruel lines]] owe most of its humor to Creator/ChristinaRicci delivering them in a CreepyMonotone.
* ''Film/BicentennialMan'': Creator/RobinWilliams takes the concept of a robot who doesn't understand humour to exercise other types of comedy. Andrew's RapidFireComedy delivery after first learning how to tell a joke is a great example since he still doesn't understand humour. He is also LiteralMinded, which combines well with his "serious" comedy. Sir tells Andrew that he will have to learn timing, and Andrew announces that "It's 10:15, Sir."
* [[TheGrimReaper Death]] in ''Film/BillAndTedsBogusJourney'' gets a creepy introduction when he arrives to take Bill and Ted to Hell. He promptly gets Melvined by them and spends the rest of the film desperately trying to regain his dignity, which is shattered over and over again the more time he spends with them (he eventually gave up and became their bass player).
--> ''"Don't overlook *my* butt, I work out all the time. And reaping burns a lot of calories."''
* Death is terribly serious in ''Film/DeathTakesAHoliday'' when he's being romanced and comically being dumped for analyzing his date.
* ''Film/TheDevilsRejects'': Oddly enough, Otis Driftwood is Comically Serious when he is in the company of Captain Spaulding and Baby Firefly.
* ''Franchise/{{Dragnet}}'' -- Creator/DanAykroyd as Joe Friday.
* Pretty much everyone in ''Film/DrStrangelove'', but GeneralRipper and [[LawfulStupid Col. Bat Guano]] take the cake.
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Dumont Margaret Dumont]] in the films of Creator/TheMarxBrothers and others. So much so that for many years people believed that she really was that stuffy, and simply didn't understand the jokes. It's not true; she was well aware of how funny Groucho's lines were, but was a consummate professional and stayed in character. (In her 20s, she'd been a noted comedy actress.) The reason people believed that Dumont didn't get the jokes was that she was so professional that she kept in character even when she wasn't onscreen. In one television performance late in their careers, Groucho succeeded in making her [[{{Corpsing}} corpse]].[[note]]Dumont did give at least one interview in which she spoke with evident knowledge about the art of being a good straight man.[[/note]]
* In ''Film/EscapeFromLA'', Snake becomes so absurdly, monolithically cool and macho that he swerves right back around to being as ridiculous and camp as everything around him.
* ''Film/HarryPotter'': Creator/AlanRickman's subdued performance as Snape is sometimes this, especially in the later films (Cormack puking on his shoes comes to mind). Rickman commented in an interview that the child actors would sometimes act up deliberately to see if they could get him to [[{{Corpsing}} break character]].
** Rolling his eyes and pulling his sleeves back to push Ron and Harry's faces back into their work wouldn't have been nearly as funny if he'd had ''any'' change of attitude or expression.
** There's this little gem from ''Order of the Phoenix'', when Dolores Umbridge is conducting an inspection of the school:
--->'''Umbridge:''' You applied first for the Defence Against the Dark Arts post, is that correct?\\
'''Snape:''' Yes.\\
'''Umbridge:''' But you were unsuccessful?\\
'''Snape:''' ''[irritated but still deadpan]'' Obviously.
* ''Film/HomeAlone'': Harry to a certain extent.
* ''Film/{{Hydrozagadka}}'' is ''the world'' of The Comically Serious, who deliver the most ridiculous lines with completely straight faces.
* ''Film/{{Inception}}'': Arthur, as he's the most serious in the [[BadassCrew Dream Team]] and smiles but twice in the whole film. He does have a [[DeadpanSnarker sense of humour]], though.
* ''Film/IntoTheStorm2009'' features the real-life character of General Ismay, Churchill's military aide, who keeps a straight face through all of Winston's antics.
* Creator/TommyLeeJones in just about any movie, where he approaches even the most absurd scenes completely serious and deadpan. Except ''Film/BatmanForever'', where he is HamAndCheese incarnate.
** Such as in ''Film/ManOfTheHouse'', where he plays a Texas Ranger tasked with guarding a squad of neurotic University of Texas cheerleaders who witnessed a murder.
** ''Film/MenInBlack'': Agent K. So much so that when they were filming the first movie, Jones was worried he wouldn't be funny, and they had to keep reassuring him that Agent K would be funny in context. He was.

* Alan Stevens from ''Film/KnivesOut''. Half of the humor in Alan's scene comes from the Thrombeys pitching one heck of a fit and slinging childish insults at him when he reveals that Marta is the only one in Harlan's will. The other half of the humor comes from Alan's remarkable composure and the way he takes these insults in stride.
* Creator/BruceLee has a few moments as the comically serious [[http://giphy.com/gifs/reaction-26jpiPaeL2LWo in some of his movies]]. Noticeably, Creator/JackieChan invoked this trope as one of the reasons he chose to do action comedy: he once was speculated to be Lee's potential successor, so he decided to do the exact opposite and step out of his shadow.
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** In ''Film/IronMan2'', the tough, thuggish Ivan gives the brief and subtle yet highly amusing appearance of a FishOutOfWater while joining Justin Hammer for an expensive, five-star meal.
** Thor has his moments in the first ''Film/{{Thor}}'' movie while he's on Earth, largely due to his {{fish out of water}} status. The most notable instance of this is when he very seriously asks a pet shop employee for a horse, and it turns out they don't sell horses.
--->'''Thor:''' I need a horse!\\
'''Pet shop employee:''' We don't have horses, just dogs, cats and birds.\\
'''Thor:''' [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Then give me one of those large enough to ride!]]
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''
*** Drax the Destroyer is the member of a race whose members are LiteralMinded. Most of the time, he has no sense of sarcasm, humor, or [[BrickJoke metaphors]], leading to plenty of moments where his seriousness is played for laughs, particularly compared to the other team members, such as in the mid-credits sequence. {{Averted}} in the sequel, where he's laughing his head off at least once a scene, often at someone else's expense. (Granted, this is mostly because he's trying to develop a sense of humor and not be so literal, but isn't entirely succeeding.) But reinstated as "stoic to the point of hilarity" in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''.
*** BigBad Ronan in the first movie is a ColdHam as a deliberate contrast to the wacky Guardians. Especially at the end, when Peter distracts him from trying to destroy a planet by [[spoiler: [[CrazyEnoughToWork challenging him to a dance off, and starting to dance to '80's music]]]].
--->'''Ronan:''' ''[giving Peter a thoroughly bewildered look]'' ...What are you doing. WHAT are you DOING?
*** Nebula is so stoic and intense that once she's forced to interact with both the Ravagers and the Guardians, it leads to her saying or doing things that are crazy and ridiculous in a really funny contrast. It also happens in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', where she's paired with the Avengers - her very introduction has Nebula treating a paper football game with Tony Stark very seriously.
** Once Peter removes a "Training Wheels Protocol" from his suit in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', he unveils an female BenevolentAI not unlike Film/IronMan's F.R.I.D.A.Y., whom Spidey nicknames "Karen". She's not a snarker like J.A.R.V.I.S. (even if [[CastingGag she's voiced by]] [[Creator/JenniferConnelly his wife]]), but still hilarious given Karen is either blunt ("Aw, my head!" "You appear to have a minor concussion."), obvious ("The F.B.I.?!" "[[UnwantedAssistance The Federal Bureau of Investigation...]]") or endearing ("Your impressions are very funny!").
** ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'': Wong spends the majority of the film completely and utterly stone-faced, not cracking so much as a grin as Strange bumbles into his role as Sorcerer Supreme and cracks snarky jokes. [[spoiler:At the end Strange makes a cheesy joke about reading the instructions and Wong ''explodes'' into uproarious laughter, much to Strange and Mordo’s confusion.]]
** ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'': Tony Stark, [[TheGadfly of all]] [[DeadpanSnarker people]], ends up playing the straight man to the group (consisting of Spiderman, Dr. Strange and the Guardians of the Galaxy) gathered on Titan. There's a good few moments where he's clearly thinking "wow is this how my friends feel when they're around me?".
* Creator/MarilynMonroe, at least when she appeared in comedies, where she was usually not the main character and didn't get many laugh-out-loud scenes; on the surface, [[SexSells it's pretty obvious why she's there in the first place]]. This is especially noteworthy in the two films she made with Creator/BillyWilder, ''Film/TheSevenYearItch'' and ''Film/SomeLikeItHot'' (and in fact, she said she did not enjoy filming the latter precisely for the above reason). Which is not to say she wasn't comical to more than an incidental extent: George Cukor, another of her directors, pointed out that "she acted as if she didn't understand why it was funny. Which is what made it so funny."
* ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'': Graham Chapman plays King Arthur completely straight through some of the most absurd moments in theatrical history, his stodginess in the face of carefree lunacy played for laughs.[[note]] This may have been alcohol enhanced. Sadly, he was very very drunk the entire filming of this, to the point that it was a wake-up call to seek help.[[/note]]
-->'''Tim:''' Follow. [[LargeHam But! Follow only if ye be men of valour!]] For the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel, that no man yet has fought with it... and lived!

''[makes fangs with his fingers and holds them in front of his mouth]''\\
'''King Arthur:''' [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall What an eccentric performance.]]
* Creator/LeslieNielsen was a somewhat successful dramatic actor. When Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker came along and had him act the exact same way in a crazy situation in their film ''Film/{{Airplane}}'', it made him a comedy legend. The rest is history. Hence LeslieNielsenSyndrome: it is difficult to impossible to watch older Leslie Nielsen films without stifling inappropriate giggles -- including such classics as ''Film/ForbiddenPlanet''.
** The entire movie is based on this trope. Only Johnny acts silly.
--->'''Stryker:''' Surely, you can't be serious.\\
'''Rumack:''' I am serious. And don't call me "Shirley".
** Lloyd Bridges as Commander Cain in the original ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|1978}}'' can induce a similar reaction, having spoofed such military commander roles in ''Film/HotShots''. The ''Hot Shot'' movies (done by one of the ''Airplane'' trio) treat everything completely serious, especially when Topper Harley (Creator/CharlieSheen) ends up [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyDqd42-FKg using a chicken]] as [[AbnormalAmmo an arrow]].
* Creator/JaneaneGarofalo's character Heather Mooney in ''Film/RomyAndMichelesHighSchoolReunion'' spends most of the film being a DeadpanSnarker, but whenever anyone mentions the subject of her old flame Sandy Frink, she becomes this. Because she was very much in love with him. ''Very'' much in love.
* The female lead in any Creator/AdamSandler picture tends to be this. An exception is ''Film/MrDeeds'', where Creator/WinonaRyder acts ditzy and falls into slapstick and other embarrassing situations -- and, in an inversion, Adam's Mr. Deeds is actually quite dignified compared to previous Sandler portrayals.
* ''Film/{{The Secret Garden|1993}}'': Mary at the beginning of the 1993 movie. Particularly with jolly Yorkshire maid Martha as a contrast.
-->'''Martha:''' ''[playfully pulls Mary's hat down over her eyes]'' There you are, Miss Mary!\\
'''Mary:''' ''[teeth clenched]'' I can't. See.
* Monroe's SpiritualSuccessor, Anna Nicole Smith, plays a similar role in ''[[Film/TheNakedGun Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult]]'', even more so than Leslie Nielsen (see above) and the rest of the cast. As Tanya Peters, she is onscreen less often than the other major characters, [[TheQuietOne doesn't talk much]], and is primarily there to react with naive cluelessness about everyone else's antics (which, as the story proves, is [[ObfuscatingStupidity just an act]]). On those rare occasions when she does get a funny line, it's more low-key than other characters'; and when she is the butt of a sight gag, it's more often just a cheap joke about her sex appeal than anything that makes her lose her dignity. [[spoiler: Until her final scene in the film, where she [[NotSoAboveItAll strips naked and reveals that she is actually a man]].]]
* ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'' has Jaylah, who in being [[TheStoic serious]] and [[ActionGirl combative]] ends up often employed as a [[StraightMan straight woman]], per franchise tradition (see the ''Star Trek'' examples on the Live-Action TV folder). The [[BuffySpeak broken]] [[LearntEnglishFromWatchingTelevision English]] also helps.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** ''Film/RogueOne'' has [-K-2SO-], an Imperial droid that after being reprogrammed by the Rebels, ends up [[ThinkingOutLoud unable to hold his]] BrutalHonesty. Subsequently, nearly every line of his is or ends up funny.
** ''Film/TheLastJedi'' has General Armitage Hux, who becomes this as he spends the whole movie as the [[TheEmpire First]] [[TheRemnant Order's]] resident ButtMonkey.
** ''Film/{{Solo}}'' has [=L3-37=], Lando's co-pilot who's basically a DistaffCounterpart to [=K2SO=], only instead of being jaded, she's [[ForGreatJustice idealistic and willing to rebel]], so even when she's not snarking, it's funny ( "I found my true purpose, Lando. That's what I've done!").
** Darth Vader has shades of unfunny that have since been exaggerated in popular culture. In addition to his stiff mannerisms and BassoProfundo voice, his helmet makes him look like a PerpetualFrowner and it's incredibly hilarious to have Vader in full costume doing mundane things (such as, mentioned on the main page, going to Disney World).
* ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' series: This trope is often the basis for gags involving the T-800 Terminators and their [[NoSocialSkills lack of social skills]]. Special mention goes to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0FvcS83Lrk when they]] [[TheUnSmile attempt smiling]]. In ''Film/TerminatorDarkFate'', Carl the T-800 even notes he managed to get a surrogate family because he's "extremely funny".
* Moe Howard from ''Film/TheThreeStooges'' is cast as the most "serious" Stooge and often berates the other two to stop screwing around, but he is no less likely to get a pie in the face or clonked with a shovel than anyone else in the cast [[note]]Plus; His character isn't the OnlySaneMan he thinks he is and is just as dimwitted and weird as the others.[[/note]]. This is a natural extension of the much older role of the ''whiteface'' clown as a StraightMan to the more rambunctious ''auguste'' in [[NonIronicClown professional clowning.]] Some people have trouble with [[MonsterClown smart clowns]]...
* Just about any character played by Creator/ChristopherWalken.
* ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'' has the title heroine, who not only is a FishOutOfWater, but earnest, idealistic and combative. Hence lots of funny moments with her attempts at socialization and\or understanding the non-Amazon world.

* Morticia Addams in ''Film/TheAddamsFamily'' films. Creator/AnjelicaHuston plays the character low-key, simply accepting the weirdness around her as perfectly normal. And it is ''hilarious!''
** Wednesday too. Her [[LittleMissSnarker cruel lines]] owe most of its humor to Creator/ChristinaRicci delivering them in a CreepyMonotone.
* ''Film/BicentennialMan'': Creator/RobinWilliams takes the concept of a robot who doesn't understand humour to exercise other types of comedy. Andrew's RapidFireComedy delivery after first learning how to tell a joke is a great example since he still doesn't understand humour. He is also LiteralMinded, which combines well with his "serious" comedy. Sir tells Andrew that he will have to learn timing, and Andrew announces that "It's 10:15, Sir."
* [[TheGrimReaper Death]] in ''Film/BillAndTedsBogusJourney'' gets a creepy introduction when he arrives to take Bill and Ted to Hell. He promptly gets Melvined by them and spends the rest of the film desperately trying to regain his dignity, which is shattered over and over again the more time he spends with them (he eventually gave up and became their bass player).
--> ''"Don't overlook *my* butt, I work out all the time. And reaping burns a lot of calories."''
* Death is terribly serious in ''Film/DeathTakesAHoliday'' when he's being romanced and comically being dumped for analyzing his date.
* ''Film/TheDevilsRejects'': Oddly enough, Otis Driftwood is Comically Serious when he is in the company of Captain Spaulding and Baby Firefly.
* ''Franchise/{{Dragnet}}'' -- Creator/DanAykroyd as Joe Friday.
* Pretty much everyone in ''Film/DrStrangelove'', but GeneralRipper and [[LawfulStupid Col. Bat Guano]] take the cake.
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Dumont Margaret Dumont]] in the films of Creator/TheMarxBrothers and others. So much so that for many years people believed that she really was that stuffy, and simply didn't understand the jokes. It's not true; she was well aware of how funny Groucho's lines were, but was a consummate professional and stayed in character. (In her 20s, she'd been a noted comedy actress.) The reason people believed that Dumont didn't get the jokes was that she was so professional that she kept in character even when she wasn't onscreen. In one television performance late in their careers, Groucho succeeded in making her [[{{Corpsing}} corpse]].[[note]]Dumont did give at least one interview in which she spoke with evident knowledge about the art of being a good straight man.[[/note]]
* In ''Film/EscapeFromLA'', Snake becomes so absurdly, monolithically cool and macho that he swerves right back around to being as ridiculous and camp as everything around him.
* ''Film/HarryPotter'': Creator/AlanRickman's subdued performance as Snape is sometimes this, especially in the later films (Cormack puking on his shoes comes to mind). Rickman commented in an interview that the child actors would sometimes act up deliberately to see if they could get him to [[{{Corpsing}} break character]].
** Rolling his eyes and pulling his sleeves back to push Ron and Harry's faces back into their work wouldn't have been nearly as funny if he'd had ''any'' change of attitude or expression.
** There's this little gem from ''Order of the Phoenix'', when Dolores Umbridge is conducting an inspection of the school:
--->'''Umbridge:''' You applied first for the Defence Against the Dark Arts post, is that correct?\\
'''Snape:''' Yes.\\
'''Umbridge:''' But you were unsuccessful?\\
'''Snape:''' ''[irritated but still deadpan]'' Obviously.
* ''Film/HomeAlone'': Harry to a certain extent.
* ''Film/{{Hydrozagadka}}'' is ''the world'' of The Comically Serious, who deliver the most ridiculous lines with completely straight faces.
* ''Film/{{Inception}}'': Arthur, as he's the most serious in the [[BadassCrew Dream Team]] and smiles but twice in the whole film. He does have a [[DeadpanSnarker sense of humour]], though.
* ''Film/IntoTheStorm2009'' features the real-life character of General Ismay, Churchill's military aide, who keeps a straight face through all of Winston's antics.
* Creator/TommyLeeJones in just about any movie, where he approaches even the most absurd scenes completely serious and deadpan. Except ''Film/BatmanForever'', where he is HamAndCheese incarnate.
** Such as in ''Film/ManOfTheHouse'', where he plays a Texas Ranger tasked with guarding a squad of neurotic University of Texas cheerleaders who witnessed a murder.
** ''Film/MenInBlack'': Agent K. So much so that when they were filming the first movie, Jones was worried he wouldn't be funny, and they had to keep reassuring him that Agent K would be funny in context. He was.
* Creator/BusterKeaton started his unfunny act young. Working with his father on the stage, he was continually told to "freeze the puss" because a puzzled or frowning face after a gag made the audience laugh harder. This later carried over to his film career - when he's on screen, his face is a worried blank, his body is ramrod straight but his ''legs'' do the talking. This gave rise to the UrbanLegend that claimed that Keaton was actually ''contractually obligated'' to never smile (he wasn't).\\
\\
A biography of him explained this trope in action. As a child performer he wore a suitcase handle on the back of his jacket, allowing the adults to literally pick him up and toss him around the stage. The act ended with him getting shoved through a bass drum. If he emerged from the drum smiling and waving at the audience (to assure them he was unharmed), people assumed he was being abused and that the smiling was just something he had been ordered to do. If he kept his face deadpan throughout, he brought the house down every time.
* Alan Stevens from ''Film/KnivesOut''. Half of the humor in Alan's scene comes from the Thrombeys pitching one heck of a fit and slinging childish insults at him when he reveals that Marta is the only one in Harlan's will. The other half of the humor comes from Alan's remarkable composure and the way he takes these insults in stride.
* Creator/BruceLee has a few moments as the comically serious [[http://giphy.com/gifs/reaction-26jpiPaeL2LWo in some of his movies]]. Noticeably, Creator/JackieChan invoked this trope as one of the reasons he chose to do action comedy: he once was speculated to be Lee's potential successor, so he decided to do the exact opposite and step out of his shadow.
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** In ''Film/IronMan2'', the tough, thuggish Ivan gives the brief and subtle yet highly amusing appearance of a FishOutOfWater while joining Justin Hammer for an expensive, five-star meal.
** Thor has his moments in the first ''Film/{{Thor}}'' movie while he's on Earth, largely due to his {{fish out of water}} status. The most notable instance of this is when he very seriously asks a pet shop employee for a horse, and it turns out they don't sell horses.
--->'''Thor:''' I need a horse!\\
'''Pet shop employee:''' We don't have horses, just dogs, cats and birds.\\
'''Thor:''' [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Then give me one of those large enough to ride!]]
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''
*** Drax the Destroyer is the member of a race whose members are LiteralMinded. Most of the time, he has no sense of sarcasm, humor, or [[BrickJoke metaphors]], leading to plenty of moments where his seriousness is played for laughs, particularly compared to the other team members, such as in the mid-credits sequence. {{Averted}} in the sequel, where he's laughing his head off at least once a scene, often at someone else's expense. (Granted, this is mostly because he's trying to develop a sense of humor and not be so literal, but isn't entirely succeeding.) But reinstated as "stoic to the point of hilarity" in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''.
*** BigBad Ronan in the first movie is a ColdHam as a deliberate contrast to the wacky Guardians. Especially at the end, when Peter distracts him from trying to destroy a planet by [[spoiler: [[CrazyEnoughToWork challenging him to a dance off, and starting to dance to '80's music]]]].
--->'''Ronan:''' ''[giving Peter a thoroughly bewildered look]'' ...What are you doing. WHAT are you DOING?
*** Nebula is so stoic and intense that once she's forced to interact with both the Ravagers and the Guardians, it leads to her saying or doing things that are crazy and ridiculous in a really funny contrast. It also happens in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', where she's paired with the Avengers - her very introduction has Nebula treating a paper football game with Tony Stark very seriously.
** Once Peter removes a "Training Wheels Protocol" from his suit in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', he unveils an female BenevolentAI not unlike Film/IronMan's F.R.I.D.A.Y., whom Spidey nicknames "Karen". She's not a snarker like J.A.R.V.I.S. (even if [[CastingGag she's voiced by]] [[Creator/JenniferConnelly his wife]]), but still hilarious given Karen is either blunt ("Aw, my head!" "You appear to have a minor concussion."), obvious ("The F.B.I.?!" "[[UnwantedAssistance The Federal Bureau of Investigation...]]") or endearing ("Your impressions are very funny!").
** ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'': Wong spends the majority of the film completely and utterly stone-faced, not cracking so much as a grin as Strange bumbles into his role as Sorcerer Supreme and cracks snarky jokes. [[spoiler:At the end Strange makes a cheesy joke about reading the instructions and Wong ''explodes'' into uproarious laughter, much to Strange and Mordo’s confusion.]]
** ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'': Tony Stark, [[TheGadfly of all]] [[DeadpanSnarker people]], ends up playing the straight man to the group (consisting of Spiderman, Dr. Strange and the Guardians of the Galaxy) gathered on Titan. There's a good few moments where he's clearly thinking "wow is this how my friends feel when they're around me?".
* Creator/MarilynMonroe, at least when she appeared in comedies, where she was usually not the main character and didn't get many laugh-out-loud scenes; on the surface, [[SexSells it's pretty obvious why she's there in the first place]]. This is especially noteworthy in the two films she made with Creator/BillyWilder, ''Film/TheSevenYearItch'' and ''Film/SomeLikeItHot'' (and in fact, she said she did not enjoy filming the latter precisely for the above reason). Which is not to say she wasn't comical to more than an incidental extent: George Cukor, another of her directors, pointed out that "she acted as if she didn't understand why it was funny. Which is what made it so funny."
* ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'': Graham Chapman plays King Arthur completely straight through some of the most absurd moments in theatrical history, his stodginess in the face of carefree lunacy played for laughs.[[note]] This may have been alcohol enhanced. Sadly, he was very very drunk the entire filming of this, to the point that it was a wake-up call to seek help.[[/note]]
-->'''Tim:''' Follow. [[LargeHam But! Follow only if ye be men of valour!]] For the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel, that no man yet has fought with it... and lived! BONES of full fifty men lie ''strewn'' about its lair! So! Brave knights! If you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth... ''[makes fangs with his fingers and holds them in front of his mouth]''\\
'''King Arthur:''' [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall What an eccentric performance.]]
* Creator/LeslieNielsen was a somewhat successful dramatic actor. When Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker came along and had him act the exact same way in a crazy situation in their film ''Film/{{Airplane}}'', it made him a comedy legend. The rest is history. Hence LeslieNielsenSyndrome: it is difficult to impossible to watch older Leslie Nielsen films without stifling inappropriate giggles -- including such classics as ''Film/ForbiddenPlanet''.
** The entire movie is based on this trope. Only Johnny acts silly.
--->'''Stryker:''' Surely, you can't be serious.\\
'''Rumack:''' I am serious. And don't call me "Shirley".
** Lloyd Bridges as Commander Cain in the original ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|1978}}'' can induce a similar reaction, having spoofed such military commander roles in ''Film/HotShots''. The ''Hot Shot'' movies (done by one of the ''Airplane'' trio) treat everything completely serious, especially when Topper Harley (Creator/CharlieSheen) ends up [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyDqd42-FKg using a chicken]] as [[AbnormalAmmo an arrow]].
* Creator/JaneaneGarofalo's character Heather Mooney in ''Film/RomyAndMichelesHighSchoolReunion'' spends most of the film being a DeadpanSnarker, but whenever anyone mentions the subject of her old flame Sandy Frink, she becomes this. Because she was very much in love with him. ''Very'' much in love.
* The female lead in any Creator/AdamSandler picture tends to be this. An exception is ''Film/MrDeeds'', where Creator/WinonaRyder acts ditzy and falls into slapstick and other embarrassing situations -- and, in an inversion, Adam's Mr. Deeds is actually quite dignified compared to previous Sandler portrayals.
* ''Film/{{The Secret Garden|1993}}'': Mary at the beginning of the 1993 movie. Particularly with jolly Yorkshire maid Martha as a contrast.
-->'''Martha:''' ''[playfully pulls Mary's hat down over her eyes]'' There you are, Miss Mary!\\
'''Mary:''' ''[teeth clenched]'' I can't. See.
* Monroe's SpiritualSuccessor, Anna Nicole Smith, plays a similar role in ''[[Film/TheNakedGun Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult]]'', even more so than Leslie Nielsen (see above) and the rest of the cast. As Tanya Peters, she is onscreen less often than the other major characters, [[TheQuietOne doesn't talk much]], and is primarily there to react with naive cluelessness about everyone else's antics (which, as the story proves, is [[ObfuscatingStupidity just an act]]). On those rare occasions when she does get a funny line, it's more low-key than other characters'; and when she is the butt of a sight gag, it's more often just a cheap joke about her sex appeal than anything that makes her lose her dignity. [[spoiler: Until her final scene in the film, where she [[NotSoAboveItAll strips naked and reveals that she is actually a man]].]]
* ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'' has Jaylah, who in being [[TheStoic serious]] and [[ActionGirl combative]] ends up often employed as a [[StraightMan straight woman]], per franchise tradition (see the ''Star Trek'' examples on the Live-Action TV folder). The [[BuffySpeak broken]] [[LearntEnglishFromWatchingTelevision English]] also helps.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** ''Film/RogueOne'' has [-K-2SO-], an Imperial droid that after being reprogrammed by the Rebels, ends up [[ThinkingOutLoud unable to hold his]] BrutalHonesty. Subsequently, nearly every line of his is or ends up funny.
** ''Film/TheLastJedi'' has General Armitage Hux, who becomes this as he spends the whole movie as the [[TheEmpire First]] [[TheRemnant Order's]] resident ButtMonkey.
** ''Film/{{Solo}}'' has [=L3-37=], Lando's co-pilot who's basically a DistaffCounterpart to [=K2SO=], only instead of being jaded, she's [[ForGreatJustice idealistic and willing to rebel]], so even when she's not snarking, it's funny ( "I found my true purpose, Lando. That's what I've done!").
** Darth Vader has shades of unfunny that have since been exaggerated in popular culture. In addition to his stiff mannerisms and BassoProfundo voice, his helmet makes him look like a PerpetualFrowner and it's incredibly hilarious to have Vader in full costume doing mundane things (such as, mentioned on the main page, going to Disney World).
* ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' series: This trope is often the basis for gags involving the T-800 Terminators and their [[NoSocialSkills lack of social skills]]. Special mention goes to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0FvcS83Lrk when they]] [[TheUnSmile attempt smiling]]. In ''Film/TerminatorDarkFate'', Carl the T-800 even notes he managed to get a surrogate family because he's "extremely funny".
* Moe Howard from ''Film/TheThreeStooges'' is cast as the most "serious" Stooge and often berates the other two to stop screwing around, but he is no less likely to get a pie in the face or clonked with a shovel than anyone else in the cast [[note]]Plus; His character isn't the OnlySaneMan he thinks he is and is just as dimwitted and weird as the others.[[/note]]. This is a natural extension of the much older role of the ''whiteface'' clown as a StraightMan to the more rambunctious ''auguste'' in [[NonIronicClown professional clowning.]] Some people have trouble with [[MonsterClown smart clowns]]...
* Just about any character played by Creator/ChristopherWalken.
* ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'' has the title heroine, who not only is a FishOutOfWater, but earnest, idealistic and combative. Hence lots of funny moments with her attempts at socialization and\or understanding the non-Amazon world.
