If, say, Leela in Futurama were just as nuts as everyone else, the craziness would just be "well okay this just a generally madcap world" but when you have someone responsible who tries to maintain their dignity while everyone around them is insane, it's comedy!<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Don't forget that Leela got to have her wacky moments every now and then, and other characters got to play the straight man too, though.  Ace is likely going to be the straight man any time sexy shenanigans are afoot, for example. :P And given his Science-related Milestone, I can imagine Darclight taking advantage of the 'Radiation Can Do Anything' nature of the universe to engage in a little bit of mad science of his own every once in a while...
