Worst Stereotype Character

[JesterRaiin]

All those bastards unwilling to die once and for all.
Even more powerfull enemies (not mentioned before) who replace those recently killed "ultimate evil" ones.

 

[hawkeye52]

Duke nukem. He stereotypes the stereotypes, then takes a fat dump on them.

no he rips off their heads and shits down their necks

he also kicks ass and chews bubblegum but he usually runs out of it.

And this, pretty much everything in this.

That really made me laugh, thanks for that! That video couldn't have summed up just about every movie EVER in a better way.

*Daleks (Sorry, I'm a bit anal like that!)

Well yes, that would be any of the storylines from the previous 4 series of Doctor Who. Thankfully Russell T Davies has gone now, phew!

I quite Liked Russel Davies writing, and I'm very fond of Matt Smiths Doctor.

And don't thank me, thank the nice people at Cracked.com for being hilarious

 

[Queen Michael]

The kind of woman who is tough but vulnerable inside but hides her emotions so that in the end she is emotionless and boring. That's why I like Lisbeth Salander; the reason she looks cold and emotionless is because she is like that.

 

[AllLagNoFrag]

Well, most of the annoying stereotypes have been mentioned... The token black guy is pretty annoying imo (stereotypical gansta badass speaking with ghetto slang and how he's all gonna pop a cap in ur ass).

Which is why I totally love the office on how the boss Michael Scott just doesn't get it. Example:

[PunkRex]

The pointless characters which are simply there to fill in a stereotype slot. There are many but the one that pissed me off the most is:

Io from "Clash of the Titans" (pointless female, cautionary team member).

The most pointless, annoying, stupid character that I have ever seen in cinema. The writers basically relise that they have appsolutly destroyed the basic plot and as Andromada is no longer in it for more then 5 minutes, they have to add a new pair of tits or we guys might lose interest. Thats insulting enough but combine that with the fact that her character makes NO SENSE, she's immortal but can be killed. Her dialogue is the same annoying warning over and over again... groan. The actress that plays her is decent but her character is just pointless.

 

[YourAverageParasite]

Too many anime characters are starting to act like Ash Ketchum from Pokermanz these days. It annoys the crap out of me.
Why does everybody needs to be a idiot who forgets everything?

Indeed, he was the most incompetant Pokemon trainer ever and he just forgot the same thing over and over again. I swear he once had to cheack in his pokedex to see what a Pikachu was. Not to mention he paid no attention to Misty, who was a smoking hottie, she wore so little. Still I watched the show because of previously stated hottie and Brocks attempts to get laid.

Haha you said anal.

Anyway i don't think the writer could do anything but write the daleks in once every series. There was time before the start of the first new series when the daleks might not even appear because someone not part of the BBC owned the rights to the daleks i believe. I think the bbc compromised with the guy on the grounds that the daleks will appear atleast once every new series.

I don't have a problem with the Daleks as enemies, in fact it's always a joy to see them pop up. I certainly don't mind seeing them every series.

The problem I had was in relation to this:

All those bastards unwilling to die once and for all.

It's the way the Daleks always have some sort of ridiculous plan (Which usually results in destroying all of known reality itself) and then they are thwarted, not by their plans being simply ruined,oh no but usually by the Doctor completely obliterating their entire army and leaving one or two to scurry away and act as an excuse to bring them back next time. Then of course there are the contrived reasons for them creating another huge Dalek army next time around. This seems to be a new series thing, this never happened in the original series. The Daleks always seemed to be a constant threat, whereas the new series made them follow this structure:

1) The Doctor believes the Daleks have gone and the universe is safe from them.
2) Oh no they found a way to come back! En Mass!
3) Yay! The Doctor has reduced all of them to tiny pieces! Every last one.

Rinse and repeat!

Yeah I kinda hated the whole "Dalek Army" thing that RTD had going, that's my stereotype choice! Although to be fair my favourite Dalek story is the very first of the first new series, simply titled "Dalek". It showed the sheer power and discrimination of one Dalek unit alone and was more effective for it.

 

[Lt_Bromhead]

The so-called badass main characters:

Spoiler: Nathan Drake

Videogame's B-movie action star.

Spoiler: Dante

One liner machine. Self absorbed jerk.

Spoiler: Edit: Nero takes the cake

Whiney idiot who tries to make up for it by carrying a giant weapon

Ugh......................sorry.

Never played a game with Drake in it so can't comment.

Nero - yes. Yes yes yes yes YES! Ttypical emo-ish JRPG massive sword teenagery-type character based on what Japanese designers THINK the Westerners like. Turns out into a whiny tosser. It's quite a staple - like the bloke who replaced Solid Snake for a game or so (Raiden? Ryden? Something like that...)

Dante I would have to disagree. He's got some cliched lines, but he's got so many different aspects of common stereotypes that he just doesn't adhere to any of them. He's charismatic, funny and cool whilst looking like the predictable byproduct of a Western influenced JRPG. I think he deserves Man Points for that at least.For being something a bit different.

 

[meticadpa]

The dumb father (Homer, Peter Griffin)
The unemployed mother that's too good for her husband (Marge, Lois)
The daughter that no one pays attention to (Lisa, Meg)

 

[Breaker deGodot]

I HATED Transformers 2 because of, among many other reasons, the fucking twins. Skid and Mudflap, kiss it.

 

[Dags90]

Probably gay stereotypes, just because they're so common.

[Nwabudike Morgan]

Yeah I'd have to say camp gays piss me off. Rarely do you see a gay bloke on TV portrayed as a 'normal' person.

Watch Six Feet Under, one of the main characters was gay, but he wasn't a gay character, he was a character that happened to be gay, just like other characters happened to be straight.

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

How about the space alien who A: Speaks English and is psychologically very similar to humans, or B: Is inexplicably hostile to all human life.

Like other stereotypes, these space alien stereotypes allow directors to lazily rehash old characters without the possibility of new, distinct plots coming along as a possibility. District 9 and Avatar took some steps towards making aliens that are alien, but psychologically, both of these films depict aliens that could be considered subgroups of humanity. Three Worlds Collide [http://lesswrong.com/lw/y4/three_worlds_collide_08/], though its human characters are repulsively unlikeable, is probably the best example of a story dealing with alien psychology.

actually, if you look into how the director designed District 9 aliens, he stated that it is hardwired to humans that we can't empathize with anything that is not at least humanoid.

 

[Nwabudike Morgan]

in movies, tv shows, books, anime, etc, there are almost always a few stereotype characters that you've only seen in about 90 other works. which type of stereotypical character do you hate the most?

---
right now i would say the jewish stereotype character. my god, enough with it, its NOT FUNNY, it just makes me wanna punch the screen in annoyance

Well gays have it pretty bad, but I'm gonna go with bisexuals. I've yet to see a bisexual character that isn't a blatant stereotype.

With the exception of the time she was into self-destructive casual sex after getting a terminal diagnosis, Thirteen on House isn't much of one.

 

[Zykon TheLich]

The English bad guy or the English guy who turns out to be evil, or is a massive liar or a coward or gay or whatever. I suppose it's not such an extreme stereotype but generally, you see an English guy in a Hollywood movie and you can pretty much guarantee he'll turn out to be there for audiences to dislike.
