This is usually used for comedy teams. Usually one person is quite silly and strange, while the other is a little more serious.
The classic example of this is old US comedy like Dean Martin vs Jerry Lewis or in magic Teller vs Penn

A person might say that they are a straight man because they are attracted to women, not men.
