* CoolLoser: Zig-zagged. When he actually picks up (or at least is close to picking up) girls, it's usually because they fall for his peculiar humor or pertinent sarcasm. But most of the time, these traits just make people consider him to be a pompous, socially awkward sycophant.

* CoolLoser: Zig-zagged. While Simon is quite good-looking, enough to draw the interest of girls fairly easily, his self-consciousness and tendency to act out irrationally when under pressure make him extremely awkward around them, to the point where his lack of popularity is very believable. This is highlighted in his appearance, where his overall attractiveness is mostly offset by his [[IdiotHair terrible hair]] and dorky facial expressions.

I removed the Ambiguously Brown example for Will. This was included because it was stated that Patrice mistook will for being an Arab. Firstly, I don’t think it’s clear that Patrice did mistake Will for being an Arab. The dialogue simply had Will ask Patrice if he wanted to do anything during his stay and Patrice reply that he didn’t like Arabs. Patrice never said anything to indicate that he thought Will was an Arab, nor did Will react as if Patrice had suggested him to be Arabic. Putting that aside, however, the trope deals with “a character with a darker skin tone that clearly stands out from most of the cast, but it's not entirely clear what race they are actually meant to be.” Having a character mistake Will (played by the fair-skinned English Simon Bird) for Arabic doesn’t meet this definition.
