"Don't be a dick" - a phrase of advice which, after much soul searching and struggle, is spoken by those who have managed to put the bulk of their activities into their own cognitive blindspot. Allowing them to say it with a face straight rather than one with a nagging sense of self applicability.

Comedians often have a straight man for the contrast. A comedian is a person who tries to be straight man and fails, but is succesful at appearing to have decided to do that.
