  • It's interesting, there are a lot of comedies like this. A portion of the audience are either laughing at, or with the protagonist and both sets can equally enjoy it. For example, The Office: when Brent creates awkward situations some are laughing at him in pity. Some are honestly laughing with him and how he offends others. Curb Your Enthusiasm, Alan Partridge, Blackadder etc.

  • Same with Alf Garnett in Till Death Us Do Part.

    Warren Mitchell assumed the character would be widely disliked for his small-mindedness and racism, but he became a hero to many for "saying it like it is."
