Line 66:
* In the Japanese movie ''Swing Girls'', a jock-ish minor character seems to start all his sentences this way, leaving the protagonists on the negative end, of course. It isn't until the swing band's penultimate performance that he changes his mind.
* In ''[[The Longest Day]]'' during the battle for Omaha Beach, a ranking character dealing with getting the men off the beach and past the bunkers gives a variation on this trope: "Two kinds of people are staying on this beach! The dead and those that are going to die!"
** This line was then done as a [[Shout
*** Actually, it's [[Truth in Television]]. An officer actually ran along the beach yelling that at the men in order to get them to push forward, as they were all taking cover behind whatever they could instead of trying to take the beach.
* The infinitely preachy, [[So Bad It's Good]] film The [[Butter Cream Gang]] has the main characters ex-best friend say this line after he falls under a bad influence. "There are two people in the world: Your friends and your enemies." He doesn't seem to have anything in mind about people he's never met.
Line 78:
* [[Cowboys and Aliens|"Only two kinds of men get shot: criminals and victims."]]
* ''[[The Matrix]]'': "Two kinds of people: Those with power, and those without."

* ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' example: "There are two sorts of men in this world: the sort with [[Boom! Headshot!|blood pouring out of a hole in their heads]], and the sort holding the [[Hand Cannon|Ambassador.]]"
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto San Andreas]]'': [[GTA Radio|Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith]]'s view on the world: "There's two kinds of people in this world: Those who like me... and those who can go to hell!"
* ''[[Fallout 2]]'' has a hilarious example:
Line 217:
** [[Double Subversion|Double subversion]] by Asymmetric Publication's [http://twitter.com/#!/asym/status/5028992404 twitter] (the guys who made [[Kingdom of Loathing|KoL]]): "There are 10 types of people. Those who think binary jokes are funny, those who don't and 8 types on a scale between the first two."
* In "Our Dumb World" (an atlas put out by the people at [[The Onion]]), the entry on Canada divides Canadians into two groups: the polite ones, and the ones who are too polite to point out that they've been placed in the wrong group.
* There is a tendency for many to divide women into two kinds. This has various names. The [
