In with the In Crowd	comment	A character is afforded entrance to an elite group by virtue of an unexpected success or new connections. If he is already one of the local elite, the new group he joins is even more so — more exclusive or secretive, or traveling in even higher social circles, or recognized over a larger geographical area — something with some cachet. The group could be a winning sports team, a selective private club, or just the "in" clique of "beautiful people". Enjoying his newfound elevation, he snubs or is pressured to snub his old friends, who respond with anger or dismay at his apparent betrayal. However, after extended exposure to the members of his new social circle, he invariably finds them shallow and/or bigoted, particularly against some faction represented in his previous social circle. At the risk of ruining any future chance for social improvement, he leaves his new clique and returns to the forgiving arms of his original band of friends. Often the basis for a Very Special Episode. This plot can also develop out of a Rags to Riches situation. See also I Just Want to Have Friends, Celebrity Is Overrated, Lonely at the Top, Popular Is Evil, Pygmalion Plot, Pygmalion Snap Back, Slobs Versus Snobs.

The comic and animated version both feature The Comet Club, which doesn't allow sidekicks (not even to warning the heroes of a possible supervillain attack; the Doorman can only sense sidekicks).

In with the In Crowd / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: In "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield", Marge once had a chance to become a member of a country club thanks to her thrift-store bought Chanel dress making a high school acquaintance mistake her for upper class. After it leads her to blowing up on the family she decides to not attend a party at the club, thinking they would never be accepted anyway - and ironically in the next scene, we see it was a welcome party, the Alpha Bitch of the episode hoping she didn't push her away. In "Homer the Great", Homer wants to join the "The Stonecutters", an ultra-secretive organization. When he finds out that he's automatically in because his father is a Stonecutter, everything goes well until he made a Fee Fi Faux Pas at the first meeting and is made to walk home naked dragging a boulder ("The Stone of Shame.") However, the club notices a birthmark on his posterior that marks him as The Chosen One, but then he finds that being the club's leader isn't all it's cracked up to be.

He at first gives in, kicking Urkel out of the party, but makes things right after he is reminded of how loyal a friend Urkel is. Laura gets her own episode where she actually considered joining the most prestigious sorority on campus. However, she changes her tune when she stumbles upon the sorority’s annual “Geek Party”, to which Urkel was invited by sorority sister Allison. In fact, all the sisters brought geeks as dates to a Beauty and the Beast party, where they watch the nerdy boys party and make fools of themselves, completely unaware that their dates are making fun of them behind their backs, before the “worst one” is crowned “King of Geeks”. Laura is repulsed by the cruelty of the sorority girls. Unlike Eddie, when forced to choose between the Greek house and Urkel, she sides with Steve without a moment’s hesitation and quits the sorority.

In with the In Crowd / int_d3bc03fe	comment	One Tree Hill: The Mouth fits this the best. He himself doesn't do something specific to become part of the popular crowd, but his friendships with Lucas and Haley get him pulled in, and he becomes close friends with popular kids like Nathan and Brooke.

In with the In Crowd / int_d4efb984	comment	A couple of episodes of The Golden Girls featured this trope. In one, Dorothy befriends a snobbish writer who looks down on the other girls, and Dorothy assumes they are just envious until the new friend doesn't want to take Sofia's Jewish boyfriend to her bigoted club. In another, Rose falls in with a group of party animals, which creates enough friction to see her temporarily move out of the house.

In with the In Crowd / int_f655ed11	comment	This is the basis for multiple episodes of Frasier. Of course, with the two main characters being elitist snobs they find the "shallow/bigoted" part absolutely delightful and it's inevitably some misfortune that rips them kicking and screaming from their new group.
