Stock Characters

In the TV show Two and a Half Men, they're is pretty much a stock character in every episode. You don't get know a whole lot about the character, but just by the way they look or act you can tell what the specific characters role is. For example, when Charlie and Allen go to the hospital they meet up with a doctor. The doctor is an Indian, which is a common stereotype towards Indian. He also has an Indian accent, which puts another stereotype towards him. Also the doctor is wearing the surgical uniform with a stethoscope around his neck and also a has name tag on his chest stating his identity as a doctor. Due to all this minor information, the audience is told that this man is a doctor.
