Granola Girl: Difference between revisions

== Advertising ==

* A series of home insurance adverts for UK insurer Direct Line, featuring a potential customer who misses their offers because she's worried about feng shui, or accidentally drops a heavy crystal on the salesman's foot. Occasionally used for [[Hypocritical Humor]], such as the one where she claims not to need insurance because she's moved beyond material goods, and then can't find her handbag.

 

 

* ''[[Mars Attacks!]]'': Brutally parodied in [[Tim Burton]]'s film Annette Bening's character Barbara is a Granola Girl who sets up New Age crystals as she watches the Martians land, believing that they are the saviors of the human race, here to enlighten us. [[Alien Invasion|They aren't.]] She's one of the few people to survive the massacre that follows. Afterward, Barbara claims that they have come to [[Aliens Are Bastards|punish]] [[Humans Are Bastards|humanity for destroying the Earth]].

* ''[[Hocus Pocus]]'': Max is a bit of one, at least as described by [[The Nostalgia Chick]], but with one notorious exception:

* ''[[Being John Malkovich]]'' has Lotte.

* ''[[Stranger Than Fiction]]'' has the quite badass tax-resistant anarchist baker Ana Pascal.

* ''[[Hannah Montana]]'': Sarah, who once went to work in Rico's snack shack and ended up getting rid of paper plates and cups under the excuse that they would all asphyxiate if they didn't quit using them. While she's right, it is kind of extreme.

* ''[[True Blood]]'': For the extreme version of this trope, there's Amy Burley. She may kidnap and torture vampires for a high, but it doesn't matter because being a Granola Girl makes her a good person, dammit.

* Britta on ''[[Community]]''. But not half as much as Vaughn.

* Lindsay on ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'' tries to present herself as this at times, but utterly fails at it in practice. Once to prove herself a real activist she joined a volunteer group to clean up the Wetlands. She ended up getting a taxi there because she didn't want to take the bus, skewered a frog with her trash spike, got lost, and "I think I maced a crane." She also has ostrich skin boots.

 

* As described by [[Beck (musician)|Beck]] in "Nitemare Hippy Girl":

She's got tofu the size of Texas }}

* Mary Moon, the eponymous "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEDw9xgSmSc New Age Girl]" from the song by Deadeye Dick, featured in ''[[Dumb and Dumber]]''.

* Miracle from ''[[Sit Down, Shut Up]]''.

* Alice from ''[[Wait Till Your Father Gets Home]]''. (And Chet, for that matter.)

'''Alice:''' But it's over ''three blocks!'' }}

* Lisa from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' : she's vegetarian, Buddhist, ecologically aware, into homeopathy and maybe not as smart as she thinks she is. She is one-upped by a [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] who is everything Lisa is and then some. According to him, he is a "9th level vegan: does not eat anything that casts a shadow."

* ''[[Homestar Runner]]'': Marzipan whose "dirty hippie" quotient varies -- although the Strong Bad Email [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail160.html coloring] painted her as a frightening [[Political Correctness Gone Mad|political-correctness freak]]. The Christmas 2010 'toon suggests she may be farther on the dark side of the trope than we realize; she's got smug superiority written into her every line.

* Storm, who is shot down with prejudice by the viewpoint character in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhGuXCuDb1U Storm The Animated Movie].
