History Main / ThereAreTwoKindsOfPeopleInTheWorld

* There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

* Here's one for cynics: There are two types of people in the world: [[ThisLoserIsYou people who suck]], and [[SubvertedTrope wait a minute, there is no second category]]-- ''[[HumansAreTheRealMonsters everybody]]'' [[HumansAreMorons sucks]].

* Music/Watsky’s “Pink Lemonade”:

* WebVideo/TheFanFictionCritic delivers an oddly specific one in one of her reviews. "There are two types of people. There are normal people and then there are people who [[PerverseSexualLust want to have sex with this.]] "This" being Frollo from ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame''." Guess which kind wrote the fic she's reviewing.

* A variation in ''Film/{{Domino}}'':

-->'''Narrator:''' There are two kinds of people on Venus: mild people and fierce people.

* In ''ComicBook/SupermansPalJimmyOlsen2019'', Batman, irritated that Superman brought a civilian (albeit even if he's an ActionSurvivor and IntrepidReporter), says that only two finds of people exist: soldiers and enemies. He strikes Jimmy's camera out of his hands and asks if he's an enemy, because he definitely doesn't look like a soldier. He swings away without giving anyone a chance to react, leaving Supes embarrassed that his attempt to introduce two of his friends went that poorly.

* There are two types of gun-owners: [[{{Anvilicious}} Those who have had a gun go off by accident,]] [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped and those who WILL have a gun go off by accident.]]

* This is Swartz's explanation to White Woz in ''Series/KamenRiderZiO''
-->'''Swartz''': ''There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who make use of others and those who get used.''

* Subverted in ''Literature/HarryPotter'', where Sirius Black points out that the world isn't divided into good people and Death Eaters when Harry's suspecting Dolores Umbridge of being a Death Eater in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix''.

* In the Japanese movie ''Swing Girls'', a jock-ish minor character seems to start all his sentences this way, leaving the protagonists on the negative end, of course. It isn't until the swing band's penultimate performance that he changes his mind.

* In ''Focus'', Nicky says, "There's two kinds of people in this world. There's hammers and nails. You decide which one you want to be."

** In "[[Recap/TheSarahJaneAdventuresS2E1E2TheLastSontaran The Last Sontaran]]", she gives new recruit Rani a similar speech:

* Sena from ''LightNovel/BokuWaTomodachiGaSukunai'' has this to say: "... There are two types of women. Ones that I can get along with, and all the other bitches. All those bitches who I can't get along with should just die..."

* ''FanFic/MyImmortal'' seems to divide the entire population of its derailed Franchise/HarryPotter-verse into "Goths" and "Preps." (And, occasionally, posers -- preps who pretend to be goth but really aren't.) That there could be living, breathing people who neither belong to nor care about ''either'' of these two social groups simply never occurs to the author.

* ''Series/RedDwarf'', "Meltdown": When Rimmer is inspecting the troops, he tells St. Francis: "There's only two kinds from Assisi, steers and queers -- which are you, boy?"

* In the first episode of Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures, "Invasion of the Bane", Sarah Jane tells Maria a Shaw; "There are two types of people in this world. There are people who panic, and then there's us."
** At the start of the second season, she gives new recruit Rani a similar Shaw speech.
--> Sarah Jane: When it comes to getting a true glimpse of the universe, there are two types of people: [[WeirdnessCensor those who refuse to believe]], [[MasterOfDelusion that would tell themselves anything to deny the evidence of their eyes]], and those that [[JumpedAtTheCall embrace the universe and just how special life is]]. I want it to stay that way by keeping it safe and secret.
--> Rani: And that's me?
--> Sarah Jane: That's all of us.
* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', ''Fever''. Chloe's dad told her [offscreen] there are two kinds of girls, the ones you grow out of, and the ones you grow into. Well, the second part is straightforward enough, but there are girls you can grow ''out of'' in the Smallville 'verse? Who knew kryptonite infections could be so kinky?

* In ''VisualNovel/SuperDanganRonpa2'', Nagito Komaeda says this in a monologue at the beginning of Chapter 2.

* ''VideoGame/SimCity'': Type 1 - One of the opinion bubbles mentioned that there are 2 types of people [[spoiler: - Shoppers and Workers.]] [[NoRealLife This won't work out in real life, though]].

* ''VideoGame/SimCityBuildit: one of the opinion bubbles says that there are 2 types of people [[spoiler: - Shoppers and Workers.]] [[TelevisionIsTryingToKillUs This won't work out in real life, though]].
