Line 188:
** Increasingly, the show treats Will and Finn this way — particularly, other characters stand around gushing about how talented, good-hearted, and attractive they both are. The latter outing Santana in "Mash Off" may have been framed as a [[Kick the Dog]] moment for him and we're clearly supposed to feel sorry for Santana ("I haven't even told my parents yet!"), but [[Depending on the Writer|whoever wrote the subsequent episode]] "I Kissed a Girl" must have heavily favored Finn since he suffered no consequences other than her slapping him. Even his gay stepbrother, and raised-by-gay-dads girlfriend, don't say anything, and in the following episode it seems that everyone is convinced that Finn did the ''right thing''. This is further escalated in Season 4, where ''after calling Sue's baby a retard'', Will decides to put him in charge of New Directions while Will is in Washington DC.
** Other characters constantly talk up Blaine as a talented, attractive dreamboat, especially in Season 3.
**
▲** To Rachel's credit, she does have enough personality and talent to back up the claims. Marley Rose, on the other hand, makes you think everyone is on some sort of drug considering that everyone talks up about how amazing she is. Yet she is as thick as two short planks, gets everything with no effort, Sue - yes, Sue - cannot say a bad thing about her, is made to be uber-special within the Glee club for no reason, has the personality of a wet blanket, a complete waste of screen-time, and has two guys chasing after for no reason other that she is pretty.
* [[The Cheerleader]]: Between them Quinn, Santana and Brittany pretty much cover all aspects of the trope , though no one character is the trope trifecta of stupid, bitchy and slutty. The offscreen Cheerios seem to fit the [[Brainless Beauty]] side of the trope if their test scores are any indication ("I have in my hand a Spanish quiz in which one of your Cheerios misspelled her name & answered every question with a drawing of a sombrero!").
* [[Chekhov's Classroom]]: Early in "A Night of Neglect", Holly is teaching Brittany and Artie's history class about Hermaphrodite Nazi Sympathizers. Guess what the final category is in the Academic Decathalon?
