Line 6:
Derek Zoolander is a [[Memetic Mutation|really, really, ridiculously good-looking]] (but incredibly shallow) male model who suffers both a professional and personal setback when he loses the Male Model of the Year crown to Hansel ("he's so hot right now") and his friends to a [[Too Dumb to Live|tragic gasoline-fight accident]]. His manager sends him to a day spa, but it turns out to be a brainwashing center, where Derek becomes a sleeper agent programmed to assassinate the prime minister of Malaysia (an obstacle to the fashion industry's continued use of cheap Malaysian labor). It's up to Derek, his love interest Matilda, and his rival-turned-friend Hansel ([[Running Gag|"he's so hot right now"]]) to foil this plot and help Derek live past thirty.
 
A sequel, ''[[Zoolander 2]]'', was released in 2016.
As of an announcement on March 2, 2010, a sequel is being written.
