Exaggerated: When Dr. Smartypants walks into the lab or the classroom, a heavenly choir sings, light surrounds her, animals gather outside of the window, and everyone stares. Because she's just that beautiful. And that's beforeshetakes off her glasses!
Downplayed: Dr. Smartypants is an Unkempt Beauty. She would shine a lot more if she took some time to made herself up, but...
Dr. Smartypants: I'm too busy with my research to care about something as superfluous my physical appearance or eating three times a day.
Justified: There is the potential for being beautiful in any profession. Yes, even the sciences.
Double Subverted: But every one of her colleagues, students, lab assistants, etc. thinks she's pretty. (And so do the fans!)
Parodied: Dr. Smartypants is played by a hot actress who acts more like Dumb Blond saying long words and oftens likes to expose her cleavage to the audience.
Deconstructed: Others may not take Dr. Smartypants seriously, because her profession cares about smarts, not looks. Other scientists may write her off as a Brainless Beauty, which forces Dr. Smartypants to have to work twice as hard as her colleagues to get credit where it's due.
Reconstructed: But because Dr. Smartypants has to work harder, she's very dedicated to what she does, and her work is outstanding. Which eventually does lead to her winning the respect and admiration of the other scientists.
Zig Zagged: Some days, Dr. Smartypants comes into the lab looking like a goddess, other times (usually when she's been working her ass off with little rest) she's a wreck.
Invoked: Dr. Smartypants works hard to maintain her appearance to prove that just because she's intelligent does not mean that she can't be beautiful, too.
Discussed: "Remember, we're going to meet Dr. Smartypants tomorrow; twenty bucks says she's way hot."
Conversed: "They're getting such hot actors to play scientists these days. It's like they care more about the character's appearance than her actual scientific credentials."
