"The mother/wife/girlfriend in comedies is often the sensible person on the show. The goof (i.e. the guy) usually gets the catch phrase".

...actually the "sensible person" is also the black, asian, muslim or handicapped. Yes, the"goof" is the guy, but always a WHITE guy. And he's usually at least 50 lbs overweight/balding etc.

Hey it takes a lot of work being the most un-cool stereotype in the world. The way we are inundated with coolness 24/7 and still mange to avoid hipness, rhythm or style is a testament to our resiliency! /s ;-)
