->''She gets out of bed and goes to write in her diary, which informs us that she weighs 389 pounds, smokes over a thousand cigarettes a day, and drinks like Tara Reid. It's a good thing we're outright told this, because she doesn't smoke or drink once throughout the entire movie.''

* ''Star Wars: ThePhantomMenace'': Yoda flat-out tells Anakin "I sense much fear in you"-- while Jake Lloyd's Anakin seems like quite the CheerfulChild. This isn't so much a problem with the script so much as it is Jake Lloyd being a terrible, terrible little actor.

* Therese of ForBetterOrForWorse was repeatedly described as shallow, petty, materialistic and whatever else Lynn Johnson could use to paint her as the villain in Anthony's marriage. However, she rarely got any panel time that involved anything other than complaining to Anthony about Liz - whom she turned out to have good reason to dislike. When she was shown interacting with other characters, she came off as little more than a normal, if somewhat removed person and some thought her actions were justified when details of their marriage came to light.
* Lieutenant Fuzz of BeetleBailey is often described as the world's biggest JerkAss by the other officers (and by Sergeant Snorkel) for no other reason than that he's a bit immature and occasionally dull. Sure enough, he bugs General Halftrack (for advice or approval) quite often, but that still doesn't explain why the other officers seem to hate him so much and with such sincerity. Even the military chaplain claims he can't find any redeeming qualities in Fuzz (and he doesn't help matters by adding "''I really tried!''")

** SouthPark plays with this a lot, such as informing the audience that a character is hideously ugly or very attractive when they look no different than anyone else.

*** Including, according to word of god, one of her middle aged teachers.

->''"When the FBI goes looking for Ecks, for example, they find him sitting morosely on a bar stool, [[DrowningMySorrows drinking]] and smoking. That is of course always where sad former agents are found, but the strange thing is, after years of drinking, he is still in great shape, has all his karate moves, and goes directly into violent action without even a tiny tremor of the [=DTs=]."''

* As stated by multiple characters in ''{{Codename Kids Next Door}}'', Numbuh One's butt is supposed to be ridiculously huge, but it looks just about the same as the other character's.

** Even SHE is unable to pretend that she's as unattractive as she claim!. In the first chapter she describes her supposed hideousness by using the words "slender" and "ivory skinned."

* In one of the episodes of ''SailorMoon'', Usagi lists a bunch of her faults, one of them is flat-chested. Have the writers actually seen any art of the show!

->''"What do you mean, you don't belong? You're incredible! You see better than how most people can see! In fact, are you even blind?"''

* At the very beginning of ''{{Chrono Trigger}}'', people talk about how Lucca's made yet another "crazy invention", and sarcastically say they hope it doesn't blow up like all the others. Over the course of the game Lucca then proceeds to invent a teleportation device (the Telepod), a portable flamethrower (her Flame Toss attack), a portable hypnotic device (her Hypno Wave attack), a knockout device (her "Zonker 38", which she can use to rescue Crono), a supply of potent hand grenades (her Napalm and Mega Bomb attacks), a device capable of controlling warps in the space/time continuum (the Gate Key), fixes and improves on a piece of futuristic technology that's been rusted out for over 300 years (Robo), and discovers a way to harness solar energy and use it as a weapon (the Wonder Shot). {{So Yeah}}.

** Lucca's father Taban fits this too. He's amazed that their teleportation device works, but he then proceeds to develop a series of increasingly effective pieces of body armor for Lucca (the Taban Vest, Taban Helm and Taban Suit), and also converts solar energy into a device capable of increasing its user's physical power (the Sun Shades). Again, {{So Yeah}}.
