Undermined by Reality is under construction.


* UnderminedByReality: Rowe's advocacy for blue collar jobs and vocational programs can be a bit hard to take seriously when you learn he's a college educated opera singer who advocates against student loan forgiveness… [[SubvertedTrope unless]] you consider his experiences with college to be the reason ''why'' he advocates this so strongly.

Actor Allusion goes in media namespace.


* ActorAllusion: While working on a suspension bridge, Mike gets the job of directing traffic and he's all too happy to point out a Ford truck driving by. Guess who's the official spokesperson for Ford right now?

* CreatorWorship: To a different angle than normal. Mike Rowe is now seen as THE expert authority when it comes to issues surrounding middle class jobs and blue collar problems, and most of his post-Dirty Jobs life has been advocating for an increase in trade school attendance [[ADegreeInUseless over expensive college degrees]].

** "The Worst Job I Ever Loved" segments on the Los Angeles CBS news; ''{{Series/Hoarders}}'' (the cleanup crew and filmmakers have to deal with ''psychologically disturbing'' levels of clutter that includes rotten food and dead animals); ''Dhani Tackles The Globe'' on Travel Channel and ''Sports Jobs With Junior Seau'' on Versus; the [[CulturalTranslation second US variation]] of ''Secret Millionaire'', ''Series/UndercoverBoss'' (the premier episode features the CEO of Waste Management).
** ''World's Toughest Fixes'' on National Geographic is a slight variation - Sean Riley is a rigger by trade, so he often contributes more to the task at hand than Rowe does. Riley also knows when to get out of the way.
