Bringing Kryton into Red Dwarf made Holly redundant.

Worf in Star Trek, the big badass Klingon who regularly got his ass handed to him to show how strong the bad guy was. I love that video, in rapid succession without any context it becomes hilarious very quickly. And TNG really did job out Worf too many times. He got a lot of his badass back in DS9, though. |

I always felt that the other 4 characters on Friends were there to set up the long running storyline between Ross & Rachel, particularly Monica & Chandler, and then to a lesser degree Phoebe & Joey.

They did give him that ironman push against the Jem'Hadar in DS9 though. It's like Big Show, he's gotta get that push-outta-nowhere from time to time so we can at least pretend he's threatening  Local Klingon ruins everything. |

Chloe on Smallville. From Lana. Clark. Lois.
She was never a star. Just always there to elevate someone else. To me she was never in their league.

Billy during Power Rangers Zeo was used to elevate whoever was going to play the Gold Ranger. Must have been a PUNCH in the GUT when it was Jason of all people returning to take the spot. So Jason elevated Tommy and Billy elevated Jason back. Poor Billy. He was THE jobber on Power Rangers. Did he ever score a victory over a monster? He seems to be a sucka for falling under spells or potions. Turning heel with Kim, stealing the dragon dagger, etc... He beat the Brick Bully, during the Ninjetti season |

Pretty much every big episode of MLP anymore feels like it's just there to try and push Starlight Glimmer on you at the expense of the actual leads. The Roman Reigns approach....F**k |

Redshirts on Trek. They were the jobbers of sci-fi. If you needed someone to die to make the brain sucking alien look strong, they were your go-to guys. I like to think that Starfleet Academy had a training program just for those guys. The first class taught them that if you ever beamed down to a planet and saw a strange glowing object floating above the ground, don't let the science officer know, just slowly walk towards it mouth agape, always prepared to say "my god, Captain....it's....beautiful" before you try to touch it and it drains your life energy from your body.

Nelson on The Simpsons. Despite being a bully, he's often seen a level below the Dolph, Jimbo, Kearney threesome while any new schoolyard threat targets him first as a statement of intent.

Shawn on Boy Meets World. It seems with Cory and Topanga he definitely helped elevate them. Even the girl he dated, forget her name. As well.
