"I'm da COLE TRAIN, baby! Woooooooooo!"

You don't even need to take the piss out of this guy, he does it himself.

Basically, the loud macho guy stereotype.
This year's obnoxious model in Ebony!

I hate the black gangster stereotype character annoys me the most, but they'll never go away, because it's really a stereotype when at least 30% of the black community actually talks and acts that way (at least in california).

Philadelpha got the blues singer.

*shrug*

Anyway, the worst sterotype is that Woman can't hurt men.

Yes. Yes they can.

Coach. He's just too goddamn... American.

Duke nukem. He stereotypes the stereotypes, then takes a fat dump on them. Everyone needs to just be honest and just admit that he was never funny, not even when we were children.

The "loser guy" who's really attractive, successful at most things, and always gets the girl; pretty much the only reason he's the loser is the producers tell you, ala Scrubs, How I met your mother etc.

Gets really annoying after a while, once you realize that every show/movie you've ever watched basically was THAT plot.

I enjoy him to this day, he just gets every cheesy bit of dialogue he can find and loves every second of it.
It's clearly not a serious game and I like my silly fun.

"The Girl" Stereotype, she's just that girl that they add in just because. She can have a different look, a different personality, but in the end she's only there so the main character and the audience have a decent pair of boobs to ogle for the duration of the adventure.

Symptoms of being "The Girl":

Getting kidnapped or otherwise put into a situation where the hero(Man) has to rescue your incompetent ass.

Developing a relationship with the main character for no real reason, he's kind of a tool, you expressed a disgust in him right from the get go, etc...

Putting out at the end. It can be something as simple as an acknowledgement that, yes you do in fact care for the hero, or you could really just... put out. This has to happen either near or at the end though.


Note: Sometimes "the girl" stereotype works... It's just something we see all the time, but it still could work.

Please see the examples below, for help on how to spot "The Girl"

It would haft to be the "Loner".

We get it, his in ability to interact with other people means he had a tramatic past.
STOP IT ALREADY.
I want some characters WITH character.

I don't mind a Silent Loner but mix it up a bit.
Im tired of the "Lol Darkness in my heart im alooooooone" that when mixed with a female character that refuses to give up on him he becomes "Now ima Hero for my FRIENDS!"

I hate the "annoying, stupid, suburb dad"

 

[bkeyt]

The crazy japanese protagonist with huge hair that lost their memory. Bayonetta is the ultimate example.

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.

Overtly angsty characters. I'm looking at you, Lightning and Hope (at least toward the beginning). I'm looking at you, Sasuke.

from what i've seen, the people from the boondocks.

The cartoon? But that's a funny show. At least from what I've seen.

 

[triggrhappy94]

The gangs from Saints Row
what are the first things that come into your head when I say...
Mexican gang... cartel ties
Street Racing... white guys, some asians
Black buisness man... Runs a gang
The Saints... Morphius from the Matrix

The Boondocks is satire. You missed the point of the show.

oh, i've never actually watched an episode of it, it was just going by what the commercials have showed.
