| Topic | Best of the Trope Day 66: The Generic Guy aka The Zeppo |
| Johnbobb 08/10/18 10:11:08 PM #3: | Today's tropes is the Generic Guy https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheGenericGuy The member of an Ensemble Cast with no distinctive physical or personality traits. They may be smart, but not as smart as The Smart Guy. They may be strong, but not as strong as The Big Guy. In short, there is pretty much nothing remarkable or distinctive about them. They would be The Everyman or Standardized Leader ... if they were the main character. However, they are not the main character. Someone else is The Hero and The Generic Guy is stuck in a secondary role. Thus, the generic guy will typically get very little to do or eventually be written out of the series. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...
