Line 36:
** [[Playing with a Trope|Not really]], Sekai has Betty looks but Veronica personality (being a straightforward girl who uses [[Fan Service with a Smile]] in her part-time work) while Kotonoha's Veronica looks conceal her ''very'' Betty-ish behavior (shy, sheltered, target of abuse from other girls who are jealous of her beauty and wealth). Then again, [[It Gets Worse]] ''really'' soon.
* In ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'', Kazumi Yoshida is the Betty and Shana the Veronica.
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' inverts this: Chidori is the Veronica despite being the [[Ordinary High School Student]], while Tessa, who is a captain in a covert paramilitary organization and has command of a submarine and several hundred troops, Sousuke included, is the Betty personality-wise.
** Also, one may count Kaname the Betty to Mizuki's Veronica, if only for one episode (the one where the latter insisted Sousuke acted as her boyfriend so her friends wouldn't know she had broken up with her real boyfriend). They later become friends and this subplot is never brought up again.
* ''[[Zero no Tsukaima]]'' does this, with noblewoman [[Tsundere|Louise]] facing off against peasant girl [[Meido|Siesta]].
Line 409:
* Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" features a love triangle between blonde [[Girl Next Door]] Taylor Swift and a dark-haired cheerleader rival.
** It's interesting to note that in one of her lesser-known songs (The Way I Loved You) [[Taylor Swift]] takes the role of Archie choosing between her current boyfriend (Betty) who she describes as 'sensible' and who 'calls exactly when he says he will' and her 'wild and crazy' ex who is 'just so frustrating, intoxicating, complicated', who fills the role of Veronica. In the end, she chooses her ex.
* A Brazilian <s> country</s> sertanejo song called "[[Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor|O Grafino e o Caipira]]" that tells the story of a [[
* "The Boy is Mine" by Brandy and Monica. While this isn't explicit in the song itself, if you look at the ladies' individual musical styles, Brandy is more a sweet girl-next-door while Monica has more of a street edge.
* The video clip of Avril Lavigne's ''Girlfriend'' depicts Avril (as the Veronica) convincing the Archie to leave his uptight Betty girlfriend for her more interesting, more bullying self. Veronica wins.
Line 568:
** Also, Cyclops could be said to be the Betty and Gambit the Veronica for Rogue in this series.
* In ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'', Mitsuki is the Betty and Lily is the Veronica to Mikey's Archie.
* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' has Arnold having a crush on Lila (Betty) and admired by Helga (Veronica).
** In "Arnie visits Arnie", Arnold is admired by Arnie's girlfriend Lulu (Veronica) and falls in love with Hilda (Betty). In turn, Arnold is the Betty to Arnie's Veronica for Hilda.
* This occurs a few times in ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''. In 'The Last Temptation of Homer', Homer almost has an affair with Mindy (Veronica), but chooses Marge (Betty). He also choose Marge over another Veronica, Lurleen Lumpkin, in 'Colonel Homer'. A gender subversion occurs when Marge chooses Homer (Betty) over an affair with Jacques (Veronica) in 'Life on the Fast Lane'.
