* Youmu Konpaku from ''{{VideoGame/Touhou}}'', who is '[[LawfulGood too sweet]]'. She's a HypercompetentSidekick, BeleagueredAssistant, and CloudcuckoolandersMinder for her lady and spiritual [[IceCreamKoan sensei]], Yuyuko Saigyouji. Youmu is a playable character, which means that she regularly squares off against threats to Gensokyo, which usually includes RealityWarping PhysicalGod or [[TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed other individuals of equivalent power]]. And yet, the other characters treat her like she's an ignorant child and a mere apparatchik of Yuyuko.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has [[Characters/GravityFallsDipperPines Dipper Pines]]. Despite being ([[DependingOnTheWriter usually]]) one of the most down-to-earth characters with some serious insecurities and self-worth issues, he's the butt of nearly every joke from... everyone, really. Though his family usually does it [[InnocentlyInsensitive without meaning to]]. This is juxtaposed with his twin sister Mabel, who's super confident, rarely criticized, and openly loved by everyone. While Mabel's mistakes in the show often come without overly serious consequences ([[spoiler:until the finale]]), Dipper's desperate efforts to prove he's worth being listened to usually all end in horrifying disaster.

* ''WesternAnimation/DanVs'': Chris is often treated like dirt, as aside from many injuries he suffers due to [[UndyingLoyalty reluctantly tagging along with Dan in the latter's schemes]], he is hated on by his wife's parents, no one in high school remembers him, and not even Dan treats him with much respect and hardly shows any emotion whenever Chris is either injured or on the verge of death.

Even his wife Elise, while she does love and support him, isn’t above using him as a pawn in her spy missions, though at least Chris doesn’t know about that.



%%* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': Dib.

to:

%%* * ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': Dib.Dib is likely the only thing standing between a narcissistic evil alien invader and world domination. Said narcissistic evil alien invader is the person who respects him most simply by virtue of actually considering him a threat to his plans; everyone else just thinks Dib is a crackpot.

No matter what the character does, no matter how noble his intentions, they just cannot get the respect of his peers. It's not that they deserve to be unhappy. They are a genuinely NiceGuy who in some other story would be loved and respected. But since they are in a comedy ensemble, they're role is to suffer to keep the humor rolling, even if the audience finds them sympathetic.
