Conservative Trope Examples

  • Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) hires a beautiful young woman on the spot despite her having "no work experience at all."

  • Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz) has a number of drinks with Professor Carl at a bar before telling him that a fantasy of hers is "getting fu*ked really hard against a wooden desk" in someone's office. Carl excitedly invites her to his office, but when they get there to presumably have sex, she drugs his glass of wine and then steals the answers to a statewide test she was after.
  • The main theme of the movie is that Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz) is an amoral and manipulative woman who uses her sex appeal to get what she wants. She was initially engaged to a rich guy solely for his money and later tries to embezzle money from a middle-school car wash in order to get breast implants so she can catch the eye of Mr. Delacorte (Justin Timberlake), who is a wealthy substitute teacher at the school she's working at.
  • Wichita (Emma Stone) crawls on her hands and knees in a very suggestive way ostensibly searching for her lost engagement ring, but what she really was doing was setting up a con to dupe a hapless gas station attendant to hand over all the money in his register, which he happily did.
    Staff Aside
    The scene was a flashback to before the Zombie apocalypse, with Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) narrating that he liked Wichita because "she's not your typical hot, stuck-up b*tch" and that "before Zombieland Wichita was running the table on guys like us."
  • Iron Man (2008)
    Vanity Fair journalist Christine Everheart has a "one-night stand" with Tony Stark and wakes up in the morning to Pepper Potts bringing her dry-cleaned clothes in a scene that implies this is a regular common occurrence for Tony. Christine quips to Pepper that "Tony still has you picking up the dry cleaning" upon which she replies, "I do anything and everything Mr. Stark requires. Including occasionally taking out the trash."
  • Thank You for Smoking (2005)
    Heather Holloway (Katie Holmes) is depicted as an unethical reporter who sleeps with Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) to get information from him on a story on his lobbying for the tobacco industry. He never said anything was off the record but just assumed so when they were having sex. He attacks her in the media and she loses her job because of it and is shown in the end stuck doing a weather report in a very bad storm. Joey later adds, "Mom says it's because you have dependency issues and it was all just a matter of time before you threw it all away on some tramp."
  • While hitchhiking with friends, Jenny (Michelle Trachtenberg) flashes her bra at passing drivers to get one of them to stop. It fails so she does it again but without a bra this time. It doesn't work either. Later in the end credits, it shows her jumping up and down topless trying to get drivers' attention but that doesn't work either.
    Staff Aside
    Throughout the movie, she is thought of as just "one of the guys" by her three male co-stars and so the scene is depicted as funny because nobody is stopping despite her best intentions.
  • Sara (Elizabeth Hurley) flashes her breasts to a hotel clerk so they can get a room for free at a seedy hotel because they were robbed and had no money.
  • A recurring theme throughout the movie is Sonny (Adam Sandler) slut shaming and belittling Connie (Leslie Mann) for having previously worked at Hooters when she was younger.
