Fan Casting The Comically Serious

Role added by library_ocean on August 20, 2022

Description of The Comically Serious:

Serious-minded person is Played for Laughs by being put into non-serious situations. A Comically Serious character's lack of reaction to embarrassing, undignified, or just plain bizarre situations can subvert our expectations of embarrassment, hysteria, or insanity and make for comedy gold. When they're not serving as the 'straight man' for all the wacky hijinks the universe throws their way, the character is likely to be a Deadpan Snarker, The Stoic, The Killjoy, or The Quiet One. Typically works as a Straight Man in the cast, although they may have a quirky Achilles' Heel. They may also serve as an Only Sane Man, and oftentimes become the victim of Not So Above It All.
