The brilliant intellectual (college professor, researcher, writer, etc.) who never solves anything through physical action - no matter how appropriate it would be, or how much it would simplify things. When he's not outsmarting the bad guys, he's running for his life. His friends are almost always even more nerdy than he is, so that they don't show him up for a pansy. If he does happen to have a physically strong and tough friend, he's got to be dumb enough to be useless, or comic relief. Those kind of characters remind me of why I like Indiana Jones so much.2. The "fat people are stupid" convention. It's not ubiquitous anymore, but it still pops up often enough. Obese bullies, idiot security guards, idiot dads... The bigger their gut, the dumber they are.</blockquote>
