Line 34:
*** Michael Cera's appeal is arguably more down to his onscreen persona as a sweet natured, geeky [[Deadpan Snarker]] than his actual ''looks'' which are average to gawky - he's not without his charms but he's no more conventionally attractive than (say) the young Tom Hanks, another fairly average looking guy whose appeal started when he opened his mouth.
* ''[[Napoleon Dynamite]]''. The freaks and geeks are all Type 1's.
* The two computer hackers David (Matthew Broderick) consults in ''[[
** One of the nerds in the above mention was played by Eddie Deezen who built his entire career playing nerds starting in the late 70s in such films as ''[[Grease]]'', ''[[I Wanna Hold Your Hand]]'' and ''[[1941]]''.
* ''[[Real Genius]]'' shows a wide variety of nerds. Most of the physics students are Type 1, including an [[Asian and Nerdy]] student, a [[Basement Dweller]] (sort of), and a [[Teen Genius]]. Chris Knight (Val Kilmer), however, is handsome, witty, and outgoing.
Line 105:
== Film: Live Action ==
* Most characters James Spader has played, including even such [[Darker and Edgier|villainous]] examples as Lee in ''2 Days In The Valley'' and Stewart in ''Wolf''.
* A majority of the cast of ''[[21 (2008 film)||Twenty One]]''. ''21'' also provided a counterpoint in his old friends, who really ARE nerdy-looking, making the fact that it expected us to believe the protagonists even more ridiculous.
* Every character in ''[[Anti Trust]]'', with the possible exception of the very cute Rachael Leigh Cook {{spoiler|who is [[The Mole]] and presumably deliberately chosen as someone the hero would fall for.}}
* ''[[Hackers]]'' stars ''Angelina Jolie'', for crying out loud. (Although her makeup ''was'' awful.) And super-hot Jonny Lee Miller!
Line 286:
** Team Nostalgia Chick member Elisa so qualifies.
* How many guy-nerds do you know in real life can pull off wearing eyeliner (smudged or slatherings of it) like [[The Nostalgia Critic]]?
* She very well might disagree, but [[Marz Gurl]] definitely qualifies, as do her fellow TGWTG compatriots Obscurus Lupa and [[
* [[The Spoony Experiment|Noah Antwiler]]. A nerd? Most definitely. [http://www.spoonyexperiment.com/img/headshots/img07.jpg Attractive?] Yes.
* [[That Dude in the Suede]] is a very attractive, well-spoken anime fan.
