Line 124:
* As mentioned above under Literature, Bertie Wooster (and most of his friends and relations) in ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (TV series)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'', the TV adaptations of the [[P. G. Wodehouse|PG Wodehouse]] stories. Played admirably by a young [[Hugh Laurie]].
* In ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'' Leslie's opponent for city council, Bobby Newport, is the son of the man who employs half the town. He is so used to being given everything in life that he has difficulty comprehending someone competing with him. When she runs a mildly negative ad, he complains that it hurt his feelings and asks her to abandon her campaign so he can win. He doesn't understand why she refuses. That's not him getting mad at her for refusing, mind you. That's him ''failing to comprehend the concept'' of someone not wanting to please him.
* In ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', it's revealed that before becoming a vampire, Spike was once known as William Pratt, a meek, effete young Victorian Gentlemen and [[Momma's Boy]]. His sobriquet of "William the Bloody" actually derives from the fact he wrote bloody awful poetry -- and that "Spike" derives from listeners saying they'd rather have a railroad spike driven through their heads. (After he is turned, he very kindly obliges them.)
* Rachel in ''[[Friends]]'' is presented this way in the beginning of the series. After running out of her own wedding (which was most likely funded by her wealthy parents), Rachel moves into an apartment that her best friend, a working middle class woman, lives in. Rachel is initially shown to be completely clueless in the most basic tasks, such as taking out the garbage or knowing who ordered what in the coffee house. Rachel does get better over time and manages to shed most, if not all, of her twit.
