Line 30:
The Stepford Smiler gets her name (as does the [[Stepford Suburbia]] in which she lives) from the book and later movies ''[[The Stepford Wives]]'', about a village whose men conspire to create the Barbie perfect wife, all with similar eerie smiles.
 
See also [[Attention Whore]] (a common mask for these types), [[Sad Clown]], [[Faux Affably Evil]], [[Beneath the Mask]], [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]], [[Broken Ace]], [[Comedic Sociopathy]], [[The Fake Cutie]], [[Evil Matriarch]], [[Extreme Doormat]], [[I Just Want to Be Normal]], [[Mary Sue]], [[Masquerade]], [[Think Happy Thoughts]], [[Uncanny Valley Girl]], [[Yandere]], and the darker variants of [[Minnesota Nice]]. Contrast with [[Nietzsche Wannabe]], [[The Stoic]], [[The Pollyanna]], [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]. Compare/Contrast with [[The Snark Knight]], whose demeanor is typically the [[Inverted Trope|inverse]] of the '''Stepford Smiler''', and the [[Stepford Snarker]], whose motives are the same, but whose mask is made of [[Deadpan Snarker|snark]] rather than smiles. The [[Crap Saccharine World]] is basically this trope upscaled to a much bigger setting.
 
Contrast [[Drama Queen]].
