'''Basic Trope''': An unattractive man has a much more attractive daughter.
* '''Straight''': Bob, who looks [[{{Gonk}} pretty damn ugly]], introduces his daughter Alice, who is quite pretty.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice is the prettiest girl in the ''[[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman entire world]]'', while Bob's appearance can accurately be described as "[[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} fascinatingly ugly]]".
* '''Downplayed''':
** Alice, while better-looking than her father, is average.
** Bob's not ugly -- he's average looking at best -- while Alice is very beautiful.
** Alice is unattractive, but [[{{Gonk}} her Dad]] makes her look like Marilyn Monroe in comparison.
* '''Justified''':
** Alice gets her good looks from [[UglyGuyHotWife her mother]].
** Bob did look very handsome at one point, but he has [[IWasQuiteALooker aged less gracefully]], [[HairTodayGoneTomorrow became bald]], and/or [[FormerlyFit gained a lot of weight]].
** Alice was subject to [[DesignerBabies genetic engineering before birth]]. This can also be connected to [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter another trope]].
** Bob once looked good, but something was done to him that [[BodyHorror changed his looks for the worse]].
** Alice is Bob's [[HappilyAdopted adopted daughter]] or stepdaughter.
** Grandpa Charles' beauty gene skipped a generation.
** Alice did start off as quite ugly like her father, but she improved her looks either by better personal care, magic, or MagicPlasticSurgery.
* '''Inverted''': Bob is quite handsome, but his daughter Alice is rather ugly.
* '''Gender Inverted''':
** Mother Bonnie is incredibly gorgeous, while her homely son Alan makes you question Bonnie's taste in men.
** Bonnie is a ridiculously grotesque-looking woman, but her son Alan is so stunningly attractive that EvenTheGuysWantHim.
* '''Subverted''':
** Bob says that Alice is beautiful--but is only being a proud father, and Alice doesn't look very pretty at all.
** Alice is adopted, so there's no reason for them to look similar.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** However, Bob's ''other'' daughter, Claire, is really gorgeous.
** [[BlatantLies Bob was lying]] [[FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo when he said that Alice was adopted]].
* '''Parodied''': Bob appears to be an entirely different species than Alice, one much less attractive by human standards.
* '''Zig Zagged''':
** Alice is much more beautiful than her mother, Bonnie.
** Bob’s son, Alan, is the more attractive one of the two.
* '''Averted''': There isn't any noticeable difference in Bob and Alice's attractiveness--they're both pretty, ugly, or average-looking in the same degree.
* '''Enforced''': The only actors that the director likes for the roles of Bob and Alice are vastly different in their attractiveness.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Gosh, Bob looks weird--that daughter of his must be beautiful to make up for it!"
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': A character deliberately befriends ugly-looking men, hoping they'll be able to meet the obviously hot daughters.
* '''Defied''': Bob makes sure the mother is just as ugly as him, so his daughter doesn't have to face the awkward situation of looking very different from him.
* '''Discussed''': "Look how ugly Bob is. How much you want to bet he has a hot daughter, like the ugly guys in TV shows?"
* '''Conversed''': "That casting director must have been blind--the father and daughter look nothing alike!"
* '''Implied''': Bob introduces his daughter Alice--she remains off-screen, but we see the reaction of another character who is clearly smitten with her.
* '''Deconstructed''':
** Alice notices the discrepancy between her and her father's looks, and starts to doubt if Bob really is her father.
** People make fun of Bob whenever Alice brings him up, leading her to go to extreme lengths to make sure no one ever finds out about him.
** Bob is worried that his looks embarass his daughter, and does his best not be present when her friends are around.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Alice finds a picture of [[UglyGuyHotWife her mother]], who she clearly inherited her good looks from.
** Screw what everyone else says, Alice loves her father and is proud of him, despite his appearance.
* '''Played For Laughs''': A character does a spit-take when they see how pretty Alice is compared to her father.
* '''Played For Drama''': Bob has a hard time convincing people that Alice is really his daughter, so everyone thinks he's being a creep when he picks her up from school, takes her out to restaurants, etc.
