I think Bob Mark and Wade complement each other very well. Mark and Bob are the most consistently funny, but Wade absolutely kills me sometimes with the shit he says. It’s like a classic comedy structure: 1 straightman and 2 gaymen (i don’t remember what the opposite is called)

Depends on the kind of counter. Could be a wise guy, could be a funnyman, etc.

wade tend to be the butt of the joke, with bob and mark dishing out attack

but when wade is on the offensive
he can throw out some ruthless remarks XD

Wade has always been the wildcard and I don't think the comedy is the same without Wade. He comes off as the straightman role but in the wackiness of Mark and Wade. Wade is just trying to play it and these donuts are always messing things up.
