Again with that term, "realistic". Realism is overrated. We're dealing with animation, a medium that's all about stretching the limits of reality. As long as it falls within each person's personal suspension of disbelief, then what's the problem if it doesn't sync up to reality 100%?

He's also often the grounding voice of normalcy amidst all the high-concept fighting going on, and was deliberately designed as such. The primary appeal of these shows are the girls, and that's what I watch for.

I watch for comedy, so... not really.

Again, comedy. Someone has to take the fall for comedy to work, and the girls often become the butt of jokes in just as many ways, sometimes involving slapstick as well.
