I think the reason I find "Chuck" so funny is because of "Charles Bartowski/Carmichael" also known as "Chuck" in the TV series of the same name. He's a nerdy type of character so my mental impression of the name is a geeky-type of person. You do have to admit that Clark fits that profile on occasion (although Jimmy from this series WAY more so.)
I always thought that what was so funny about Chuck's name from that show, was that he sooooooooo not a "Chuck". It instantly showed the audience that it would be dramedy as opposed to a full-on drama. Just like with "Buffy" - the audience knew just from the name that there would be some funny stuff as well. (Please, keep in mind I've only seen a couple of episodes of Chuck, and I
LOVE Buffy.
It was my first obsession before L&C.)
