Right but you said "straight role" not "actor who didn't know he was in a comedy playing it straight" which is very few roles indeed.
Police Squad wouldn't have worked unless it was played 100% straight (and this is also why I find it better than the movies, the surrounding roles are less straight e.g. Nordberg most noticeably)....
