* In ''SpinCity'', Caitlin hired a guy who probably moonlit as a Chippendale's dancer (almost immediately after she chewed out Charlie for [[HypocriticalHumor the same thing]]). 
* [[FamilyTies Alex P. Keaton]] hired Karen as a housekeeper, despite her being a klutz and having no experience. Karen being played by Geena Davis. 
* On ''JustShootMe'', Maya does an experiment for an article in which she sends two people to interview for the same job, one extremely qualified but homely-looking, the other a handsome but dim-witted model. The model gets the job, as Maya predicted, but she also ends up falling in love with him. 
* On ''{{Friends}}'', Rachel ends up hiring an inexperienced young man (Tag) as her assistant solely because he was cute. 
** Rachel herself counts as it seems that Gunther hired her only because he had a crush on her and she could have the job as long as she cared even though she was not a competent waitress. 
* In ''TheOffice'', it appears that the new executive assistant, Jordan Garfield, will be this. This is certainly what some people (Pam and Dwight, for instance) think in-universe. It remains to be seen if that will prove to be the case. 
* In the MarriedWithChildren episode "Rain Girl" (s4e21), Kelly Bundy becomes a TV station's "weather bunny" at a higher salary than the station's professional meteorologist, to his outrage. 
* An episode of SimonAndSimon has them hiring a secretary. They look at the first one, a grandmotherly looking woman with an impressive resume, but go with a beautiful blonde who doesn't even have enough sense to answer a ringing phone. 
* JT from ''StepByStep'' hires a beautiful model as a housekeeper despite the fact that she's terrible at it. She eventually quits when she realizes this fact. 
* In RestaurantStakeout, Willie suspected that the general manager of a restaurant partook in this trope. He had two undercover women attempt job interviews for waitressing with this manager, and confirmed Willie's suspicions when he hired the young, inexperienced teenage girl over the older, but vastly more qualified woman. He even went so far as attempting to flirt with her. 
* In Series/{{House}} the title character bluntly tells Cameron he hired her solely because her good looks. She's a good doctor but House chooses her over even better doctors because she's attractive. 
* A ''KidsInTheHall'' sketch had Dave as a business man unable to fire a French pyromaniac named Monique because she's beautiful, ''even as she's igniting things in his office''.
