Trope Purity refers to the degree to which a character or narrative element adheres to a specific, unadulterated archetype or "trope" without the "contamination" of human complexity, moral growth, or psychological realism.

"Complexity is the enemy of comedy; purity is its fuel."

In the context of sitcoms and long-running series, Trope Purity often manifests in three distinct forms:

The Detective's Log of Purity Suspects:

Suspect: The Waitress (Always Sunny)
Trope: The Unattainable/The Ruined Life
Suspect: Hans Moleman (Simpsons)
Trope: Cosmic Bad Luck
Suspect: Leon Black (Curb Your Enthusiasm)
Trope: The Professional House Guest
Suspect: Newman (Seinfeld)
Trope: The Pure Antagonist

Note: High Trope Purity is usually why side characters "steal" the show from protagonists, who are weighed down by the need to be "real" people.
