This is especailly rampant in sitcoms, but I've seen it in movies too. The guy always looks fairly average, not unattractive, but not anywhere near People magazine's Top 10 list. Yet his wife or girlfriend is always far more attractive than he is. You never see the reverse situation, though.Movie/tv siblings who don't look anything alike. I realize the actors aren't related so they can't look as much alike as real siblings do, and sometimes real siblings don't look alike. But the casting directors could at least try to find some actors with some resemblance to each other. Teenagers played by college grads. Yeah, I know there are rules about childrens' working hours that limit the availability of real teenagers. But I am so tired of seeing somebody presented as a high school kid who looks like they are getting ready to celebrate their 30th birthday.And my Number One most hated stereotype in films/television: Casting actors based on who's popular (or good-looking) instead of who's best for the part!!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /></blockquote>
