* {{Adorkable}}:
** Harriet's odd mix of timidness and enthusiasm gives her an awkward, almost childlike adorableness. As the series goes on and she gains more confidence, the trope diminishes somewhat, but she remains one of the sweetest and most loveable characters in the series.
** Martin is more the "socially awkward nerd" type; he's not always certain how to talk to people, except when the topic is something he's passionate about (bird-watching, computers, poker). Like Harriet, the trope becomes less prominent with him as CharacterDevelopment sets in, though without making him any less likeable.
** Ricky Collins, in the revival, somehow manages to embrace the trope even ''[[CharacterExaggeration more]]'' than he did in ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries'', when out on his quest to find a new purpose in life. He still has no social intelligence whatsoever, but his friendly eagerness has been taken UpToEleven.
