Worst Movie Stereotypes?
Posted on 4/19/14 at 5:11 pm

What are the cinematic stereotypes that really make you cringe?
1. The Roid Raiging General - Think Avatar. I'm sure there are some overly aggressive military figures in real life, but Hollywood needs to take a fvcking chill pill on these archetypes. These blood-thirsty meatheads they conjure up are completely unrealistic and sometimes I find them borderline insulting to some of the real leaders we have in our military.
2. The Jobless Sailor - I always find it funny (usually in rom coms) when there's a character who doesn't have a job but just lives and works on his sailboat. He doesn't have any money yet he somehow managed to score a $400K boat and can afford a slip in a Marina overlooking the downtown harbor. Ok.
Any others?

I feel like there's a Redneck in every movie these days.

I am sick of the comic relief, oversexed sister of any female protagonist.

Sarah Silverman is basically the real life version of this. Her schtick is so played out.

oh god. i could write a research paper on this shite
also from avatar, the sigourney weaver sympathetic scientist
the stupid arse police chief characters like dennis leary from amazing spiderman (every character in that movie is a stereotype)
the inept black partner, i.e. rush hour
lawyers cracking shitty one liners like in Suits
i could go on and on

Not that I don't dig movies that this happens in (Oliver Platt/Executive Decision being exhibit A) but the "I didn't sign up for this" braniac nerd who finds his inner badass has been played relentless.

women who can outfight highly trained men
They are running this into the ground. Sure, a young karate chick could probably kick my arse but put her up against a comparably trained young man and he'd kill her.
the very helpful Muslim in any movie involving the potential for terrorism, where the terrorist usually turns out to be a disgruntled white guy
pretty much any conservative comes off as a cartoon character

That air conditioning hasn't made it to the South yet.

The cop who "doesn't play by the rules." I honestly think a lot of our problems with law enforcement stem from these guys watching too many of those movies growing up. The rules are there for a reason, and it's mostly to protect citizens from out of control assholes.

I would play in her schtick anytime, find her oddly hot. How about the minority guy who sacrifices himself for the good of the group.
