watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10
stereotypical movie characters cool
Asians varsity jocks unfriendly black
bodies girls who eat their feelings for
this list we’ve combined the most
popular misconceptions stereotypes and
tropes about men and women of different
races and sexual orientations I’m an
active member of the Student Activities
Committee I would say yeah I can’t Wow
Damien you really out gauge yourself if
you feel a movie is judging its
characters a little too harshly then
chances are it made our list so sit back
and don’t feel offended if you identify
with any of these Jen okay number 10 the
sexy foreigner James you are very good
in the world history class yes women in
film go crazy over foreigners especially
if they sound like James Bond or Javier
Bardem will it well we’ll drink good
wine we’ll make love yeah who exactly is
going to make love hopefully the three
of us somehow a lovely accent seems to
work like magic and these men always get
the girls simply with their smooth talk
female foreigners on the other hand are
often shown to be very open about sex
especially if they happen to come from
Europe strip it’s a Hollywood staple
that characters who have an accent when
they speak English are sexually
aggressive
whether they like it or not foreigners
have got that going for them American
girls would seriously dig me with my
cute British accent you don’t have a
cute British accent yes I do I’m going
to America Colin you’re a lonely ugly
awesome you must accept it
number nine the materialistic woman you
think that’s how I do I’m just a debts
with a credit card it’s one of the most
common stereotypes Hollywood has created
about the fairer sex
show a girl a Gucci bag and she’ll drop
anything and everything bag gucci him
worth every penny
credit cards are her best friends and
the ideal man will know how to choose
just the right diamond for her just to
be clear this is a ring with diamonds on
a diamond ring right not to mention the
mall is like the best place ever I’ve
got my idea let’s block 7th and 8th go
to the mall have a calorie fest and see
the new Christian Slater yes for movie
women who fall into this trope the size
of a man’s wallet is what matters most
material girls indeed we may be close to
the earth but we kept a little bit of
heaven number 8 the neurotic Jew I’m not
Jewish nobody’s perfect what he Alan’s
to blame for creating the neurotic
American Jew trope who’s just never
satisfied with his life well it wounds
it for me if you have grass because you
know I’m like a comedian so if I get a
laugh from a person whose high it
doesn’t count you know cuz they’re
always laughing hypochondriac stingy and
deeply intellectual Jewish people in
film who fit this stereotype also never
stop talking you like New York Jewish
left-wing liberal intellectual Central
Park West Brandeis University of the
socialist summer camps and their father
with the Ben Sean drawings right and it
really
you know strike oriented kind of dumb
stop me before I make a complete
imbecile myself they see a shrink about
three times a week and still can’t
resolve their mother issues why don’t
you go out with other women well I tried
but it’s say you know it’s very
depressing even in modern movies Jewish
people are still just as neurotic and
their anxiety is used for comic effect
but to be honest Jewish characters have
self-deprecating humor down to an art
every movie with Jews we’re the ones
getting killed Munich flips it on its
ear with cat Oh mother the killing but
kind of like taking names number seven
the immigrant convenience store owner
hey hey you how many times I can do no
shirt no service get the hell out of my
store somehow all convenience stores in
movies are run by people who are new to
the country and more specifically
they’re likely Indian Pakistani or
Korean for whatever reason no dogs
allowed my friend they speak heavily
accented English and are usually quite
talkative Oh my plot that I work at
Harlem Chinatown Hunts Point Coney
Island Red Hook Hell’s Kitchen I don’t
give a shit I’m a floater although it’s
an undeniable stereotype
when this portrayal of immigrants
appears on film it’s usually to show
social inequality between different
classes or to highlight discrimination
against such races I won’t you give my
homeboys chance I don’t want any trouble
just get out Stan Jon other times
however their background is clearly used
for comic effect Roshan you came to the
right place we have Ginza chic Hot
Tamale boutique called backdoor Man Man
handlers ramrod lube job in deep joy
trail buck wild and Goodyear Eagles
oh snap good you got a condom too
non-skid mech retread and just give me
the Sheik
no offense number six the wise old Asian
who’s actually really mean
like Indians Asians in film have only a
handful of roles they’re either store
owners geniuses or wise old men they can
also be extremely rude and heartless I’m
get this at all it got Lopez got up at
the baton for some reason those that
fall into the wise old Asian man who’s
actually very mean category never smile
unless it’s after they’ve humiliated
someone else ha ha ha
somehow the mean Asian man is always
right and his rude behavior is warranted
by his wisdom this stereotype can get
even more off-putting when said Asian
characters are portrayed by white actors
with tons of makeup you cannot go on or
keep her in my cell you disturb me you
must have a key me it won’t do any good
I just lose them all number 5 the
Italian American mobster Luca Brasi held
a gun to his head
and my father was shoot him that either
his brains or a signature would be on
the contract don’t get us wrong some of
our favorite movies ever are about the
Mafia but we’d be lying if we said that
these films don’t also give birth to a
stereotypical image of Italian Americans
okay we were out late which will right
on the I took a country and we hit we’re
old dears attached all the blood came
from I told you they’re all family guys
who love their mama first pasta second
and cannoli next leave the gun
taking cannolis but they all make dirty
deals for a living one of the main
reasons this portrayal is so popular is
because Italian gangsters are just so
likeable now I’m coming around you know

front of me this big freak again he sits
up what do you want to tell me now tough
guy I said mean what are you doing here

comedies just can’t seem to find a place
for characters from minority groups
except as sidekicks even when they are
the leading characters their racial
background is usually used to pump up
the last double touch a black man is
ready yo why you can do that in China
but you can get your ass killed out here
man for some reason they just can’t be
taken seriously and often they don’t
even try to know you have to be
embarrassed if your dick gets hard you
think you’re supposed to get hard see
that’s all object of this also minority
characters are often used as the exotic
friends of the main non-minority
characters I want to give a toast
I love all of you so much you’re my best
friend the best friend anybody could
ever ask for her except for you beneath
the I don’t like you number three be

European ladies we discussed earlier

off the television because I made a fox
and I’m on the verge of buying mr.
McCaul
wundabar and polio not to mention the
over-the-top gay man’s love of pop
culture and theater their way of life

coifed here always since the glasses are
too much
yeah I’d lose them they’re too much like
look at me hey everybody look at me look
at my glasses
number two the ethnic terrorists let’s
put it this way terrorists in most
Hollywood productions are not American
do you know why you’ve been brought here
so that this man can verify to the world
the Crimson Jihad is now a nuclear power
whether fueled by Cold War mentality
modern-day conflicts in the Middle East
or some other motivation certain
ethnicities are always portrayed as
violent criminals when our illness run
and hide in sear at the mention of their
name and America
begs our forgiveness on that great day
of deliverance you will know what I want
their motives are unreasonable or
unexplained yet the terrorists are
always capable of executing complicated
attacks that almost always thwart the
good guys plans due to the Nakatomi
corporations legacy of greed around the
globe they are about to be taught a
lesson in the real use of power
you will they work missus but in the end
the ethnic baddies are always punished
by the brave American heroes
Happy Trails hands before we reveal our
top pick here are some honorable
mentions so if that’s that and we can do
this and that’s Schrodinger’s paradox
right is the cat dead or is the cat not
dead what’s the matter with you anyway

say that careless maybe no just dumb I
had any brains it wouldn’t be on this
crummy train with his crummy girls dad

opinion man number one the codependent
woman I was going to live a life where
my major relationship was with a bottle
of wine
and I’d finally dive fat and alone and
be found three weeks later half-eaten by
wild dogs people raised on 90s rom-coms
will know this one there’s a difference
between being romantic and being totally
desperate just because someone is
looking for a nice guy it does it make
them desperate have a rapacious of love
star in movies however even savvy
intelligent women are ready to put their
careers on hold the minute a handsome
stranger walks into their lives I would
have a lude so blinded by love are they
it doesn’t matter who the man is or
where he comes from we guess their
choice is validated if the men happened
to be sexy foreigners with charming
accents
