Oh and don’t forget the one in almost every movie and TV show:
Incompetent Dad works too many hours, and is made to feel guilty for not spending as much time with kids as Loving Mom who never works, but is not a house wife, or can’t explain why they live in $500,000 home, both drive Mercedes’ except for the fact that Dad actually works! According to Hollwierd he is only supposed to work an hour a day, so the Mother can do what she wants during the day, and child doesn’t suffer psych damage!
After I started pointing that one out to my wife she now catches it more than I do. It’s in 90% of what they make.
Then there's Loving Gay Guy, who looks just like the guy down the street, except when he's wearing his butt-out leather chaps and the ball gag he sports on weekends at the bathhouse. No, seriously, he's in a loving, monogamous relationship with a macho dude who repairs diesel engines, and doesn't know or care about doilies, Cher, or interior design. In fact, you'd never know he was gay ... until he opens his mouth. Then you can never forget.
And Robbin' DaHood, the hardened inner-city anti-hero who dropped out of pre-school and now makes long green selling drain cleaner crystals to crack addicts. Became a legend in gang circles when he cut out his sistuh's kidney "cuz she wan't usin' it and my dawgs needed some rock."
And how about Angry Young Idealist? His every sense is attuned to the injustices of the world. His ears ring with the cries of the oppressed. Their pain is his pain. With laser vision, he perceives the broken bodies of the downtrodden. He tastes the bitter gall of inequity and smells the flatulence of unfairness. It becomes his life's mission to turn on the vent fan of love and understanding, to disperse the poo-poo of greed and liberate humanity from its white, Christian, male overlords ... Goes blind before he's 30 from the glow of his own halo.
And there's more ...
