Line 52:
* Paul Metzler in ''[[Election]]''.
* Pavi Largo from ''[[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]'' is this by way of inverted [[Informed Deformity]]; despite being horribly scarred and wearing masks made of other people faces, his admirers consider him beautiful. The "brainless" part is not up for debate.
* Subverted in ''[[Mighty Aphrodite]]'': Linda uses her sexual charms to get by, but she later turns out to be sadly aware of the fact, tries to improve her life without relying on beauty and deeply regrets not being able to take care of the child she put up for adoption. In the end, [[It Gets Better|she gets better.]]
* Shelley from ''[[The House Bunny]]'' is a rare example of a [[Brainless Beauty]] protagonist.
* Brace Channing from ''My Favourite Martian''.
Line 108:
* Ethan Craft from ''[[Lizzie McGuire]]''.
* Seth Powers from ''[[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]]'', who ended up with the [[Teen Genius]] [[Tsundere]] via a combination of [[Opposites Attract]] and [[Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends]].
* Kelso and Jackie in ''[[That '70s Show]]''. ''Especially'' Kelso.
* Kandi from ''[[Two and A Half Men]]''.
** Heck, pretty much any female guest star who isn't Mia or Chelsea. Charlie's entire ''modus operandi'' is to seek them out.
Line 142:
* [[Katy Perry]] played one of these in an episode of ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]''.
{{quote|'''Ted (to Barney)''': "I'd say hump her brains out but someone obviously already has."}}
* Drew, one of Liz's boyfriends in ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]'', leads a charmed life without even realizing it due to having the looks of [[Jon Hamm]].
* Barbara Jean from ''Reba''
Line 180:
* Ado Annie in ''[[Oklahoma]]''.
* Hedy LaRue in ''[[How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying]]''.
* Kendra from ''[[
* The play ''[[Cyrano De Bergerac]]'' centers around a [[Brainless Beauty]] being used as a mouthpiece by a smart but unattractive character. The beautiful character, Christian, is not exactly "brainless," [[Cannot Spit It Out|he just gets tongue-tied around pretty women.]] Not his fault that almost all the aforementioned adaptations [[Flanderization|have him dumb as a stump]].
* Lois Lane ([[Superman|no, not that one]]) from ''[[Kiss Me Kate]]''.
Line 225:
** It didn't help that she ended up getting married to the walking, talking incarnation of White Trash. Who also became something of a [[Creator's Pet]] as time went on.
* A villain in ''[[Sam and Max Freelance Police (animation)|Sam and Max Freelance Police]]'' had plans to pilot a rocket to space accompanied by a team comprised entirely of these, as opposed to people who were actually qualified for space exploration.
** He wasn't much of a villain, but it's a [[Fridge Brilliance]] once you realize that people thought a meteor was going to destroy earth, and the rocket was designed to keep humanity alive.
* Miracle from ''[[Sit Down, Shut Up]]'' is a parody of this. She literally got her high school science teaching job because of her good looks. {{spoiler|She didn't even have a high school diploma.}}
* Melody on ''[[Josie and the Pussy Cats]]''.
