For someone who's supposedly the main protagonist of his season, Shawn feels very unmemorable to me. I think it's because he's meant to be a crazy guy with a storyline, but he's ultimately overshadowed by so many of the other crazy people in the season when they're on screen, aka... all thirteen of them :/ . He had his moments, but the zombie gag never really appealed to me and while it was never as repetitive as the gags of Rodney or Topher, it still left little impact on me. The only times it was really cool was when he used it to save Jasmine's life or when he destroyed the Chris robots. And him showering Dave with snot made me suffocate with laughter when PI was first airing. I even liked his relationship with Jasmine sometimes. But in spite of him having funny moments and a unique development from most other characters, he's just never hit for me no matter how many times I've watched Pahkitew. And this is a tangent, but it always felt like the season was building up to Shawn FINALLY getting over his paranoia and realizing he's not in a zombie apocalypse. But rather than even coming close to that, he goes from being afraid of zombies to... actively trying to destroy them. It just made the whole plot of Jasmine being mad at him for thinking she's a zombie kind of diminish in what it was supposed to do. I also simply like him less than all the other nominees (apart from Gwen who needs to really get out of this rankdown already!). Not a bad character, but this is around where I'd rank him if the whole thing was my own ranking.
