The Comic Relief

LAUGH

The one who's supposed to Humor The Audience by messing around and maybe getting on others' nerves with their acts. If they're in a Badass, Goofy, Smart trio, they're the goofy one. The Comic Relief provides a sense of comedy in scenes with a variety of antics. Hilariously idiotic lines on the Why Are The Pee Green or One Equals One side of intelligence can fuel this fun. They also tend to be the Deadfall on the receiving end of slapstick-type comedy. The Deadfall in the Comic Relief comes from how they're naturally lacking in physical balance and competence. Their clumsiness is the enabler of situations in which they're the butt of the pain-based joke. Although the Comic Relief may not be the most coordinated person in a room, they can still go through life with a smile on their face and a boatload of laughs to boot. Their lighthearted spirit can be the most charming aspect of their personality, being capable of withstanding problems that would emotionally cripple others. That's why it feels so wrong to see them in the dumps. Even though the Comic Relief can be relied on to be in a consistently good mood, it isn't the only emotion they know. The Comic Relief can get unnaturally depressed at times, especially if they're sensitive about a topic like their appearance, intelligence, or an issue that means a lot to them. It's usually up to their friends to restore their joy by becoming the Comic Reliefs themselves.

Sometimes, the Comic Relief can take their wackiness too far and Clown Everything Up. They may Accidentally Obliterate a possession of great value and/or power, bump into a fragile object, step on a tip-prone object (like a rake) and setting off a destructive Domino Effect shortly after, or annoying those around them to the point where they have to put their foot down on the Comic Relief's mischievousness. Alternatively to causing problems, the Comic Relief can also unexpectedly have their own set of them. Their reason for playing around like how they do could be due to how they try to entertain themselves to be distracted from their negative self opinions.
