Movie stereotypes

[CF DolFan]

I had mentioned to Dave his scenario was only from Hollywood movies and it got me to thinking about some of the silly things they like to stereotype. Here's a few off the top of my head. Do you have any to add?

- Florida people are super rich or white trash and they sweat a lot. For whatever reason there isn't anyone above poverty and no one has AC most of the time. On rare occasions they are super rich. It's either Miami Vice or Ma and Pa Kettle.

- Christians, if included, are always the crazy people in the movie.

- The most obvious person who is supposed to be trusted almost always turns up to be the bad guy.

- The mother typically dies or is dead. This has been a running joke in our family for years although my wife doesn't find it as funny.

- No one in Louisiana speaks without a severe accent.

All Italians and Irish are cops, firefighters, restaurant owners or are in organized crime.

The florida ones,I don't really have a clue,I probably don't think about it...

Cops - are fall down drunks,divorced/separated ex-wife has the kid/s,and screwing someone they shouldn't...

Cops - Bad ass in the war/military and few know how bad ass he is...  

The Auto repair business - Fronts for other crime activities,or where the parole/suspect the police are looking for works.

You guys are hitting it pretty much spot on.  Let us not forget to include the streetwalking hooker with a heart of gold who looks beautiful and glamorous even though every hooker I ever saw strolling Federal Hwy looked like you would catch AIDS from if you so much as looked at her for more than 5 seconds from a distance of 20 yards or less.

[Phishfan]

Good one. I forgot about the hookers.

As for Floridians, we really do sweat a lot.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Any one Muslims or from Eastern Europe are international terrorists.

Internal Affairs ALWAYS corrects every injustice of the very rare dirty cop.

All homosexuals are world renowned experts in every aspect of fashion and pop culture.

All Lesbians have small boobs.

"Wife" just gave me a few good ones..

Single Mom stripper - Only doing it to put herself through college,or has kid that gets kidnapped for helping the main character,ends up liking the main character,gives up stripping after getting her kid back.

Single Mom/struggling artist/main characters - Who are are supposedly broke/struggling,yet have a really nice,really cool place...

Asians -tech/lab guy,all nerdy,and like Karaoke (mentions karaoke bars),or dance clubs.

I thought this one was funny,when she brought it up...
Samuel L. Jackson- (especially later in his career) One of the smartest guy's in the movie...

This is especially true in commercials.

How about the dorky kid always crushing on the hot/popular guy/girl just to find out their perfect match is their dorky friend the entire time.

[Pappy13]

Computer Whiz kid who's always young, pale looking (like they been in a basement most of their life) and looks like they have never seen a sport in their life let along played one (either weigh 120 lbs soaking wet or 350 lbs and can barely walk).
