Like that Simpson’s episode: “I wanted Mary Ann on ‘Gilligan’s Island’ ugly, not Cornelius on ‘The Planet if Apes’ ugly. TV ugly, not… ugly ugly.”
Jeneane Garofalo in The Truth About Cats and Dogs
Number one offender. The whole premise is that she’s ugly. Problem is she’s not ugly at all. She’s lovely.
What’s-her-name (Egg?) in Arrested Development
Cute as a button. Bonus: Same actor in The DUFF, which I have not seen, but seriously stop.
Lea Michele in Glee
What’s the opposite of the phrase “lipstick on a pig”? Because no matter how you dress her she’s still gorgeous.
Hermione Granger in Harry Potter
Impossibly beautiful. To be fair the movies never really implied she was ugly but the books make it clear she’s not pretty without lots of work.
Willow in Buffy
She grew up.
Liz Lemon
Smokin’, hilarious, employed. Can’t get a date.
Ugly Betty
More like Betty Betty, amirite? I guess that was the point.
Emma Stone in The Help
Intolerably plain…no guy would be interested.
