Knock-off friend

A person that isn't treated as anything, but acts the role of being a friend.

When someone isn't regarded as a person, who's feelings are ignored, and who's job is to listen and simply be here because you want to.

Someone who's only purpose is to be a helping friend, but is ignored, mostly emotionally, like they aren't even someone.

Person A: "Who's that guy over there?"

Person B: "Oh, he's Person C's friend. He doesn't really say anything and is only here when Person C needs help. No one really pays attention to him since his only role is to help and not be an actual person."

Person A: "Oh, so he's a knock-off friend."

Knock those guys down to size

Make the aforementioned guys realize they are not as powerful, important, or impressive as they think they are, often through humiliation or a humbling experience.

Ryan: (face radiating with jealousy as he watches the Chipmunks hit on the girls) Somebody's gonna have to knock those guys down to size.
Xander: Well, that should be pretty easy. I mean, they're only eight inches tall.
