I'm sure I've seen this trope before, but is there a trope for a stock portrayal of a judge (wig, robes, gavel banging loudly, "Order in the Court") and Jerkass behavior? Is there a stock judge portrayal trope?
Equally - is there a trope for when, in a series, for example, a Police Procedural, a judge is nearly always portrayed as nice and good, even though their job isn't. Good Is Not Nice could fit but isn't that more about personality rather than the role, and Punch-Clock Villain doesn't fit the job's definition; isn't that more Designated Villain? Or is that trope description TLP-worthy?
Finally, and this comes from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pasdDicu0Ms
this video]] (a dance music video - not that NSFW), is there any trope for where a judge is portrayed as hot, and where cops are portrayed as Ms. Fanservice (Fair Cop could fit), but here, in this example, the cops are only there as Fanservice.
Sorry if this is too many tropes, trying to get one theme (judges) into Trope Finder!
