Why is it that every straight couple in Western comedy animation has the girl be a peppy, self-assured hothead and the guy be either an argumentative buffoon or an incompetent awkward dork? Where are my suave, confident male leads???
Female leads usually either begin confident or have some sort of training montage that grants them confidence, male leads are dorks forever until their female counterpart in distress/by their side at a critical moment gives them the strength to break free of their oafish chains and have a single moment of effective sage time before reverting back to their buffoon state.
Bob from Bob's Burgers is the least buffoonish on the scale but the Himboverton window has shifted so far and in an ideal world he'd be the median
