...Thats not comic relief. That's forced comedy. If it's funny or comedic (or meant to be, anyway) in order to alleviate the situation, that's comic relief. Whether or not that is bad or good comedy is irrelevant.

A lot of Korgan's character is comic relief. Not all, but he's probably the most comic reliefy companion character in BG2 after Minsc. Edwin might give him a run for the money, I don't remember him very well (most often didn't make use of him).

Optimistically Apocalyptic
