This Loser Is You: Difference between revisions

** Getting back to ''[[Family Guy]]'', it sometimes looks as though [[Flanderization|post-renewal]] [[Butt Monkey|Meg]] is this in regards to her [[Unpopular Popular Character|fanbase of actual teen girls]] that she got back when she was, y'know, just a normal teen girl.

** Arguably subverted with Fry, who starts out as an occasional [[Jerkass]] idiot in his own right, but gradually matures over the course of the series. Nobody'll ever confuse him for his brilliant nephew, but Fry's repeatedly sacrificed everything for his friends and loved ones. At his worst, he's dim and willing to humiliate himself to ingratiate himself with others, but he's probably the least selfish and noblest person on the show, [[And Zoidberg|except possibly Zoidberg]].

* ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]''. [[Mike Judge]]'s magnum opus was a particularly ruthless deconstruction of the lifestyle of its own target audience.

* Jay Sherman of ''[[The Critic]]'' hosts a TV show that gets really low ratings and is always on the verge of being canceled, with his looks modeled after a fat version of Jon Lovitz, who provides his voice. His adoptive parents Franklin and Elenor are wealthy, and they adopted Jay when he was a baby. His friend Jeremy is a combination of Paul Hogan and [[Mel Gibson]], and his son Marty goes to United Nations Middle School.
