- Mook — Dumb act, gains his identity from other people
- Goon — Strongman, dumb, generally quiet, poses the threat
- The Lovable Loser — The otherwise repellant character who exhibits redeeming qualities. Takes a few different forms:
- Stooge — 1/2 witted sidekick who finds himself in trouble the straightman needs to solve
- Tramp — An undesirable loner who offers insight and street-smart wisdom from the outside
- Drunk — The bumbling character who asks the deep questions the characters need to answer
- Scared Cat — Neurotic, jumpy, OCD: makes the audience awared of the lurking danger, but most cries wolf
- Straight Man — The common, stable character who solves the problems, gets the girl, and watches over the stooge
- Rogue — Opposition to the straight man who exhibits all the qualities of a romantic lead, but does so for selfish gain
