Nepotism	comment	A trope often found in situation comedy, it's where the boss (often a somewhat unpleasant one) places a relative or in-law in a position of power. Invariably, the relative will be incompetent or worse. A variation on this trope might be to actually have the relative be the protagonist, and have to earn the respect of his or her subordinates before they can actually accomplish anything meaningful. The trope can also be subverted if the relative is actually competent, in which case the grumbling can quickly subside. It can be averted in cases where nepotism is expected, such as a prince becoming king when his father dies, in which case most people just accept it as the way things are supposed to go. Very much Truth in Television, and sometimes a way for the relative to get their feet wet in the business, especially if they're being groomed to take over the business when the current owner retires or is otherwise unable to make decisions. Naturally, given how controversial (and rather common) this practice is, please refrain from adding any real-life examples here. A sub-trope of Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!. Compare Sleeping Their Way to the Top and Royal Favorite. Can be one of the ways for someone to end up in the Wrong Line of Work, if they're incompetent in the field their relative puts them in. The opposite of this trope is Coattail-Riding Relative. When this occurs among RPG players (romantically connected to the GM or otherwise), see Dungeonmaster's Girlfriend. In general, Nepotism may be an expected payback if someone who was Vicariously Ambitious helped get somebody else into a position of power. When an authority figure deliberately tries to avoid this, they're engaging in Anti-Nepotism. Not to be confused with the trope Nephewism, although the word "nepotism" comes from the Latin word "nepos" which means "nephew" (the term originated from the tendency of Medieval and Renaissance-era churchmen to appoint their "nephews" â€” who were often their unacknowledged bastard sons â€” to comfortable sinecures). Also not to be confused with Neopetism. Fun fact: This trope, when applied to friends instead of relatives, is known as cronyism â€” after all, "It's not what you know, it's who you know." See also The Power of Friendshipâ€¦

Nepotism / int_10321784	comment	Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten: It's all but stated this is how Emizel, son of President Hugo, got his position as the head of the Abaddon assassination task squad. He tries using his father's name and position as a way to gain power and recognition, only for Valvatorez and Fenrich to not only laugh it off, but then defeat him multiple times. After joining the party, Valvatorez eventually gives Emizel a challenge — to step out of his father's shadow and make a name for himself, a task he succeeds at by the end of the game.

Nepotism / int_1463a028	comment	Zig-zagged in Season 17 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, when the Chief manages to get his son Mike installed as Benson's second-in-command. It's played straight in the sense that the way Mike gets the job is nepotistic — the Chief basically hands the position to Mike, allowing him to bypass the normal interview process and not even giving Benson a choice in the matter — but subverted in the sense that Mike is in fact good at his job (to the point where he likely could have been a viable candidate for the position even without his father's influence), eventually earning the genuine respect of the rest of the unit. An unusual case in that Mike doesn't seek out these favors and in fact doesn't seem particularly thrilled with his father's string-pulling; his father does it of his own accord, often without even asking Mike what he wants.

This is what led Sayuri to emigrate to America, because, as she put it, a child raised in America would likely never come back to Japan. (Understandably, she's mum on whether she gave birth to the Chairman's son.)

Even the ship's computer was designed to deal cards and is partially there to add the names of their sponsors to their first contact message. Stewart's sister Karen may have also been placed there because of their relationship — specifically that they were hoping she wouldn't attempt a coup against the captain if it was her brother (she does).

Nepotism / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: When Rukia was adopted by the Kuchiki family, Byakuya, the respected captain of Gotei 13's 6th Division (who adopted Rukia because his dying wife made a Last Request for him to find her sister, making him Rukia's brother-in-law and adoptive brother), pulled some strings to let her graduate from the Shin'o Academy early and arrange an unseated position at the 13th Division for her. He also spoke to the other captains and convinced them not to give Rukia a seated officer position (despite Rukia being skilled enough), in order to keep her from harm's way, although he apparently changes his mind, as Rukia becomes a Lieutenant after the Time Skip and a Captain in the Distant Finale. The lieutenant of Squad 2, Marechiyo ÅŒmaeda, exploits this, cultivating an Upper-Class Twit persona to make people think that he's only in Thirteen Court Guard Squads because of his noble family's tradition of serving in it. He is genuinely stupid in a lot of ways, but his position as Sui-Feng's lieutenant is well-earned.

It's said that even the customs officers change after dynastic succession.

Nepotism / int_247422c7	comment	Plays a significant role in the Honor Harrington universe. Most of the truly incompetent Manticoran officers are kept on the rolls because of powerful relatives in the aristocracy, although the 20 years of war with Haven tends to thin their ranks significantly. There are also some people who reach high rank faster than normal or end up with plum assignments because of their family connections, who end up proving that they have the skill to go along with the rank nonetheless (Michael Oversteegen is the most obvious example, getting a heavy cruiser — a senior-grade captain's slot — while still a captain jay-gee and then using it to blow four enemy heavy cruisers out of space in a single engagement). Also averted with Michelle Henke, who is a noble in her own right as well as standing in succession to the throne (however distant) and is so terrified of being accused of this that it actually holds back her career quite significantly because the admiralty cannot promote her for her actions without fear that she'll see it as nepotism. Considering how often incompetents are shuffled off to "non-critical" posts and how it inevitably spectacularly blows up in their faces when Haven launches a surprise attack there, one wonders why nobody in the Admiralty has wizened up yet and just start beaching or outright discharging incompetents, politics be damned. Then again, we've already seen how incompetent politicals also get in the way of proper governance. It is acknowledged as the biggest weakness of having a House of Lords. Apparently averted with Haven, amusingly: when you meet their officers, very few get their jobs because of having relatives in high places (although to be fair, after two revolutions the people in the high places change significantly). Stated to be one of the problems facing the Solarian military: most of their senior military leadership gets their positions through having relatives who are also senior military leaders. The Mesan Alignment is the trope's logical conclusion; its leadership is composed of clones or carefully chosen and selected/engineered children of other leaders.

Nepotism / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: In "Brother from the Same Planet", the soccer coach selects Nelson to attend Pele's soccer and acting camp, causing Nelson to thank his father. In "Bart Star", Homer coaches Bart's pee-wee football team. Ironically enough, he began doing this because he began by treating Bart harshly. When he was told he was being too mean, he decided to be more supportive. In another episode, Homer becomes the referee of the local soccer little league. In a unique fashion, it's Lisa who expects preferential treatment, but Homer subverts this by pointing out that while he's the ref, he will not show her special favor. In "O Brother Where Art Thou?", Homer's half-brother, wealthy auto tycoon Herb Powell, hires Homer to design the car that will break Powell Motors out of its slump. In part, this was because Herb thought Homer was the "average American" who knew what other ordinary Americans wanted in their cars, but Herb also doesn't give Homer any supervision or feedback. The results completely destroy Herb's company and reputation and Herb declares that he has no brother. In "A Milhouse Divided", this is heavily implied to be the only reason why Kirk wasn't fired from the cracker factory, as despite his incompetence by turning one of the leading cracker companies in town into one of the worst, he was still married to Luann. However, once he learns about his daughter divorcing him, Luann's father quickly fires him.

Since the former happens to be the daughter of Class 32's homeroom teacher, the latter believes she got it by virtue of nepotism and despises her for it. However, Chiyuri and her mother soon point out that since the elder Nagato wasn't involved in recruiting Chiyuri, so she didn't get the title because of her mother's influence.

After she gave up the throne, her sister Luna recruited them to help win the war since she saw them as saviors. That didn't work out either. When Littlepip meets Celestia at the very end, she gives Littlepip a way to escape her Heroic Sacrifice, only for Littlepip to point out that someone still needs to do it, and there's no good reason for it not to be her except that Celestia likes her.

Jerry Jarrett created it to not only replace WCW but to also put the spotlight on his son, Jeff Jarrett. Though eventually they lost control of the company to Dixie, and the nepotism became so bad under her rule that even Jeff was sick of it, tried to buy the company back, and when that didn't work, left and started another promotion.note And would later try to merge that promotion with TNA, which fell apart for reasons still unknown to the public.

Amy joins at Rouge's recommendation and though she took a callsign (Mjollnir) to separate her civilian and GUN selves, she became a part of a team (the Femme Fatalex.) It's not discussed on how she got the position, but it's plausible that her mother had a hand even if they note that there was notable friction between Amy and her mother. A more obvious example is in the second fic Chaoskampf. As the whole world is nearly destroyed due to the Big Bad, Asmos creates the Rozen Resistance and has several Chiefs of different divisions. We have Asher Rose, Asmos' other daughter and Amy's older sister, as Chief of Medicine and finally, her oldest son, Andrew Rose as Chief of Engineering. The latter is more telling as Milo Prower, who has just as much talent in technology as his little brother, points out:

Given that Mihoshi tends to be either a Genius Ditz, The Fool, or a Bunny-Ears Lawyer, and in any case causes massive headaches for the Galaxy Police, one theory amongst fans is that the only reason she was allowed to join, never mind stay employed, is because of this family tie. It doesn't prevent them, in the original OAVs, from sending her to patrol a sector of the galaxy considered a boring backwater... but that ends up blowing up in their faces. As far as the OVAs are concerned, it was revealed in supplementary materials (and implied in the show itself) that Mihoshi was, at one time, actually competent but as a result of a Noodle Incident that nearly killed her, she became the person she is today.

The general consensus of the fans is that it's hard to say that Luther has Still Got Itnote And no one has produced any video evidence that he ever had it to begin with, even the ultra-hardcore Smart Mark fans that know who everyone is never heard of the guy (unlike Jericho, who's having one of the best runs of his career) and his ring work is considered mediocre at best, but since he's not pushed and hangs around the lower card mostly putting over young up-and-comers it's considered a harmless enough case of Jericho doing a favour for an old friend.

Nepotism / int_44fe781e	comment	Bizarrely enough, this gets referenced in Neon Genesis Evangelion. Since Shinji winds up becoming an accomplished EVA pilot and his father is the supreme commander of NERV, it's inevitable folks might start to look at things a little funny. In one episode, Gendo's superiors at SEELE joke about him having given Unit-01 to his son like it was a new toy, and in the second Rebuild movie, Asuka refers to Shinji as a "Daddy's Boy" who only got the job because he was well-connected. In reality of course, Shinji would give anything to not have to pilot the EVA, and Gendo is the last person to do his son any favors. It's also suggested that accusations of this have shaped Ritsuko Akagi's view of the world since her mother Naoko worked at NERV's predecessor GEHIRN and it's implied she had something to do with Ritsuko gaining a position. To combat this Ritsuko has tried to be as little like her mother as possible, including dyeing her hair, but her breakdown at the end of the series comes about largely because she realizes she failed at this as well including sleeping with (and being heartlessly used by) Gendo just as her mother did.

The bank has for long been the private toy of the Lavish family, so Topsy passes it on to Moist Von Lipwig, who also keeps Hubert around. The reason it's not a straight example is that rather than being incompetent, Hubert is a genius; he's just nuttier than a fruitcake. May be an inversion since in addition to her own nephew being brilliant, the "rightful" heirs the Lavishes are entirely corrupt, incompetent, and just plain awful.

Played with in Moving Pictures — when CMOT Dibbler takes over Century of the Fruitbat Moving Pictures, he hires his nephew Soll to deal with actually making the clicks. Soll turns out to be pretty competent, but it's not clear how much Dibbler cared. Reference is made to him hiring other nephews; at one point he says to Victor "I've been like an uncle to you", and Gaspode reflects that he's been like an uncle to most people there because he is. When Detritus is made Vice-President of Throwing Out People Mr Dibbler Doesn't Like The Face Of, he intends to hire his nephew.

In Team Tetsuo, rather than Sakura and Sasuke do the Genin Exam and have Naruto, his favorite student, held back another year if they fail, Tetsuo decides to pass them on the spot so he could take them on months-long training trips to whip them into shape to get Naruto to the Suna Chunin Exam.

Frank is trying to avoid developing an "old boys club". Then he interviews the officer in question, who to his surprise agrees with him that he shouldn't be promoted because of connections.

Naturally, he is an inept commander who is more concerned with his own reputation than the lives of his men. Henry Jamison, the son of a wealthy NCR family, gets the job of running the New Vegas branch of the Crimson Caravan despite being woefully unprepared for the job, and his family ties mean that he can't be fired, so Alice McLafferty tasks the player with convincing Henry to quit. In an interesting twist on this trope, it's revealed that his family didn't arrange for his job out of charity for a relative, but to get him out of the way.

Nepotism / int_5ae0b268	comment	TNA is even worse than WCW in this regard, if that was even possible. Though, it was at its absolute worst during the Hulk Hogan/Eric Bischoff era, who, of course, brought in their guys and put the spotlight on them while basically pushing all the homegrown talent down the card. Dixie, a well-known money mark, did nothing to dissuade them and was even guilty of this herself at times, especially when it comes to Vince Russo. It was so apparent that they eventually lampshaded it by debuting Ethan Carter III (NXT's Derrick Bateman), Dixie Carter's (kayfabe) nephew, who was showered with all sorts of attention in the narmiest way possible. Ironically, he's very popular with whatever is left of TNA's dwindling fanbase. TNA owes its very existence to this trope — the promotion was born after WCW folded. Jerry Jarrett created it to not only replace WCW but to also put the spotlight on his son, Jeff Jarrett. Though eventually they lost control of the company to Dixie, and the nepotism became so bad under her rule that even Jeff was sick of it, tried to buy the company back, and when that didn't work, left and started another promotion.note And would later try to merge that promotion with TNA, which fell apart for reasons still unknown to the public. Then there was Garrett Bischoff. Garrett actually does seem to have talent, but he's still very green and got shilled by every main-eventer in the promotion, which did not endear him to the fans all that much. Brooke Hogan. Despite having no talent as a performer, not even being a wrestler, she got a disproportionate amount of screen-time — her romantic storyline with Bully Ray eventually became the main event angle of TNA, which just screams of nepotism.

They are mostly wrong. It was nepotism that got Miles into the Imperial Military Academy, despite him not meeting the physical requirements, and nepotism that kept him in the Imperial Service after the Kyril Island incident. Nepotism as a whole is rampant through the series. Though the efforts of Aral and Gregor have for the most part they have eliminated "Vorish nepotism," a large part of gaining promotion is based on who you know. Barrayar remains a place with a hereditary emperor and hereditary nobility (who are all very much Royals Who Actually Do Something); while Miles as a young man is very sensitive on the issue of nepotism, in one of the later books of the series he wryly notes "the whole Barrayaran Vor system runs on nepotism. It's not a vice for us, it's a lifestyle."

In one example, a company executive apologizes to a female employee for not promoting her, saying that he's giving it to the son of a dear friend of his. The woman pleasantly tells the man that she doesn't mind, since she intends to embezzle from the company. A parody of a nursery rhyme has a congressman give his family members that they're not remotely qualified for- his dim-witted sister answers the telephone, his illiterate mother is a filing clerk and his brother is his right-hand man despite lacking work experience- and pay his father a good salary for just shutting the door.

Sakuma Mii, the head of the novice department where Ikuto is first assigned to when he is hired as a full-time employee in Aphro I dite, is the daughter of the company's main sponsors. She spends most of her time lazing about and passes her actual work to the head designer of the company, and is seen as incompetent by pretty much everyone else. Later, she helps her former private tutor Hazime Yanagida to get a position as a department head in Aphro I dite, and he faces similar criticism from his subordinates. Ikuto is also accused of getting preferential treatment when his colleagues find out that he used to work for Yanagida. However, Yanagida mentions that it's alright to use one's connections to open up new opportunities for themselves, as long as they can prove themselves worthy of the position afterwards. Yanagida certainly proves his worth when his first Capsule Collection results in a resounding success; while Mii, who cannot do the same, loses her position to Ikuto.

It's strongly implied he only got the position because of his lineage since the Maxsons founded the Brotherhood. He was appointed by the Lost Hills Elders and actually wields less power than them and is implied to be taking orders from them, strongly implying he's actually a Puppet King. In the Institute storyline, the leader of the Institute "Father" eventually promotes the player character as his heir despite the fact that they're potentially not all that qualified due to claiming that they have the capacity for actual leadership rather than simply scientific ability, though the fact that they are actually his biological parent is certainly a major motivation.

Doesn't really help that Knoxx is one of the few antagonists of Borderlands that you (could) have sympathy with. Of course the game itself acknowledges itself as a big joke. In the sequel, it seems that this trope is probably the reason that Axton was able to stay in the Dahl military as long as he could, as his wife was his commanding officer. Eventually, however, his antics went a mite too far (specifically, leveling a building filled with terrorists, as well as a dignitary he was supposed to protect) and his wife made him go AWOL, as well as more or less divorcing him. In a meta example, head writer Anthony Burch is not above joking that nepotism played a role in his sister Ashly getting the role of Tiny Tina as well as a DLC focused around said character. As Ashley herself once told, he unintentionally created Tiny Tina's characterization based off of his sister, and she ended up being the best audition for the part anyway.

Primarch Victus' son, Lieutenant Victus, a so-so officer, was given a big assignment, disarming a centuries-old turian bomb on Tuchanka, which he screwed up horribly at first. His failure worked both ways: it looked horrible for the Lieutenant for failing his mission, and even worse for his father because he's accused of this trope (promoting someone to a position they're unsuited for is considered to be a failure on the part of the promoter in the Turian Hierarchy). It does end up working out in the end, unusually for this trope. Also it wasn't totally because of nepotism, but actually because his father trusted him to be able to follow orders and keep his mouth shut because their mission was top secret and would really piss the Krogan off if they found out.

Nepotism / int_7ceff43d	comment	Super Powereds: The premise of the books is that someone has discovered a way to make "Powereds" (people suffering from Power Incontinence) into Supers, giving them full control of their abilities. The main characters are the first test run of the procedure. They all have far-reaching, dangerous powers, and they were chosen because it was more important that they get their powers under control than the guy who teleports randomly every time he sneezes. The exception is Alice Adair, who simply levitates whenever she gets emotional. While hardly pleasant, she just has to stay inside and she's fine. However, her father is the richest man on the planet and owns a significant stake in the company that is running the procedure, so he insists she be part of the first run. It's implied that he knew she was a Gravity Master, and that if she didn't get her power under control before that part of it manifested, she would start leveling buildings. And then in Year 3, it turns out that Alice's father started the entire project to turn his Powered wife into a Super (who is supposedly dead, but actually in a coma). He put his daughter into the program because she is physiologically the closest person on the planet to his wife, and thus the best test case to see if the process would work on her. A notable aversion in Year 2, when Alice joins the Subtlety class. Professor Pendleton absolutely refuses to show her any kindness or support and constantly tries to convince her to give up, since the class is completely outside of her skill set. Even when she does prove her skills, he threatens to throw her out for cheating. The only reason he doesn't is that cheating is part of the point of the class. The reason this is worth pointing out is that Alice is Pendleton's niece (though she doesn't know it), and in fact the only reason he agreed to teach at all was that she was going to the school.

Nepotism / int_8188695a	comment	While Roman finally managed to win the fans over, the same accusations came to be leveled at Nia Jax, distantly related to Roman and The Rock (her father is The Rock's grandfather's first cousin). While she isn't as overpushed as Roman was, the backlash against her is far more vehement as, despite her intimidating size and presence, she's not only a mediocre ring worker, but she's proven to be a dangerous performer, repeatedly injuring other women she has to work with. WWE has been heavily criticized for continuing to employ her despite calls for her to be sent back to developmental for further training at best, or be released at worst, before she cripples someone.note They aren't employing her anymore, she was released in fall of 2021, reportedly for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine (which would make working on any show held outside the U.S. basically impossible due to COVID-related travel restrictions). Though supposedly her injuring pretty much everyone she got in the ring with (and being particularly careless with the smaller members of the roster, like Alexa Bliss and Kari Sane) and generally having a bad attitude, believing she should have been getting a push over much more talented and much, much, much safer wrestlers, had her on VERY thin ice with WWE management already and it's generally believed that being related to The Rock is the only thing that kept her from being fired as early back as 2019.

Whenever they recruit lords or heroes they can choose to expend Influence to get characters with positive starting traits, or choose not to, in which case they get characters with negative traits like "Indolent" or "Wasteful". In other words, the corrupt High Elf court will invariably pick well-connected incompetents unless the player engages in their own influence-peddling to ensure capable candidates are selected.

Nepotism / int_913710ae	comment	An undercurrent to Extraordinary Attorney Woo is how personal connections can both help and hurt. Young-woo was hired because, unbeknownst to her, her father and her boss were classmates in law school. When this becomes public, it causes resentment within the firm and comes close to breaking Young-woo's relationship with her father. Similarly, when Tae Soo-mi offers Young-woo a job at Taesan while not knowing their familial connection, the latter declines as she would face other accusations of nepotism if it came out that they are mother and daughter. Han Seon-young and Tae Soo-mi are powerful women in a male-dominated field but it's acknowledged that they probably wouldn't have achieved that level of success if they hadn't inherited their firms from their fathers. Having seen Young-woo struggle to get hired (she's neurodivergent), Family Man Gwang-ho confesses that he regrets not pursuing a legal career because if he did, he could have hired Young-woo himself and left a firm for her to inherit. Episode 6 touches on this quite a few times: Subverted in the first hearing, where the judge, Soo-yeon, and the prosecutor all discuss their connections with the first. That discussion ends up having no relevance to the plot. Played straight much later on where Soo-yeon uses her connections as the daughter of a judge to enter the judge's chambers and try to plead their case. It works. A female lawyer weaponizes this against a male judge when they learn they're both from the same clan. The judge patronizingly asks for the lawyer's father's generation name, thinking it'll give him the opportunity to talk down to her. However, the lawyer reveals that while she's younger than the judge, she's technically a generation above him, making her a distantly related aunt and forcing him to show her due deference so as not to be seen as a hypocrite by everyone else in the room.

When the board representative sarcastically exclaimed that he was surprised the manager wasn't playing his cat, the manager defensively claimed it had a groin strain.

Furthermore, the movie ends with the superintendent making it clear that his son will be prosecuted for the role he did play in the crime (blackmailing the victim). In a filler case, a very rich guy got away with being a middle-class girl's absolutely terrifying Stalker with a Crush because of his rich family.

The Night's Watch seems to be vulnerable to this beyond the cultural belief that nobles are more suitable, because it relies on the aid of others to sustain itself, and a lord is more likely to be helpful if his son is a prominent ranger than a random builder (though this can be justified because the noble has appropriate training from a young age). It's noted that the five youngest Lord Commanders of the Watch have all been close relatives of the Lord of Winterfell, and one of them was ten years old.

Nepotism / int_a144cb39	comment	In the Moral Orel episode "School Pageant" the only reason Junior Christein was cast as Jesus in 'Crooning Jesus' was that he was the nephew of a big-shot Broadway producer that Mr. Armature wanted to suck up to. It didn't work out so well: the town had expected Orel Puppington to get the role, and so were bored throughout the play, and Orel's solo as Judas ("I Hate You Jesus") was the only thing people remembered about it.

But like everything else in this complex story, it cuts both ways — Clovis, for example, had no interest in ruling or warfare. He just wanted to be a painter, but in this family, that wasn't an option. In season 2, the newly restored Princess Nunally was appointed as Viceroy by the emperor, but not because he wanted her to be safe or empowered in any way — it was because Lelouch wouldn't dare launch an attack against her.

Nepotism / int_ca08598f	comment	The Wire: This is a big part of the show's thesis on why systems on both sides of the law don't work very well. D'Angelo Barksdale is a softie and not really cut out for the game. However, his kinship as Avon Barksdale's nephew gives him great leeway. The dangerously incompetent Roland Pryzbylewski owes his police career to being the son-in-law of the influential Major Stan Valchek. He's prone to overreacting and panicking when out in the field, which causes all sorts of problems in his career that Valchek can't erase. Sadly, Prez is actually quite competent when analyzing data and working the paper trail. If he'd relied on his own devices to pursue a career based on his strengths rather than accept a handout from his father-in-law, he's probably have made a great analyst for the FBI or CIA. Proposition Joe has a big problem with this, his nephew Cheese being a major, but not the worst, example. His organization is not depicted in much detail but it is suggested he suffers from being Surrounded by Idiots. Another of Proposition Joe's nephews is Drac, the talkingest motherfucker ever heard on a wiretap. He is so incompetent that he doesn't even speak in drug slang ("COCAINE, NIGGA!"). The Major Crimes Unit even contemplates busting a dealer higher up the chain in hopes that Drac gets promoted. When Burrell asks Daniels why he thinks Drac will get promoted even though he's a knucklehead, Daniels replies, "We do it all the time", which Burrell chuckles at. Frank Sobotka, along with his son Ziggy and nephew Nick. In one scene, Ziggy is cursing out a customer for being impatient. Frank assures the customer he'll square things with the customer's shipping agent, and yells at Ziggy, telling him he's fired. Frank storms off, and Ziggy looks at the customer contemptuously before wandering off as well. La La informs the customer Ziggy is Frank's son, and so the "firing" was just for show. Namond Brice got pushed by his mother De'Londa into street dealing. He coasts on his incarcerated father Wee-Bey's name and street reputation, but everybody realizes he's not cut out to be a player. Everybody, that is, except his own mother, who seems to think Namond could build a street empire the way Wee-Bey did with Stringer and Avonâ€”with disastrous results. Colvin sees potential in Namond and eventually persuades Wee-Bey to give parental custody to him.

This has been established systematically due to their blind belief of eugenics, and that they are destined for greatness just for being in the right families. Unlike those who try to do something to earn their rank (I.e., Count Gregor von Mickenberger who became Fleet Admiral and Supreme Command of the Imperial Forces, and the Meidenorf family, who become the few nobles who worked to be the new dynastyâ€™s highest ranked officials), the rest of the nobles do not even try, knowing theyâ€™ll just inherit their power eventually, and merely scheme on the side. The end result is a horde of incompetent buffoons when they try to earn real glory via a civil war, where they are crushed effortlessly, and even their own soldiers turn on them when they have the chance.

Nepotism / int_ccf0819f	comment	As with so many other things in wrestling, Vince McMahon is the king of this trope. Not only did he make himself one of the WWE's most prominent villains during the Attitude Eranote It should be noted, however, that Vince very reluctantly started presenting himself as a heel and only did so after fans started booing him following the Montreal Screwjob. Generally, it was late in the Attitude Era when nearly everything revolved around Vince and his kids. The infamous "Higher Power" angle was less Vince inserting himself into the storylines and more that they ran out of ideas after Mick Foley turned down the role., but his children Shane and Stephanie have also had prominent roles as onscreen characters. Like Dusty and Dustin Rhodes above, it's mitigated somewhat by Vince and his kids having genuine charisma and skill at drawing heel heat, and have even wrestled decent matches themselves. It also doesn't hurt that they've had multiple occasions of being Butt Monkeys who suffer from Laser-Guided Karma. However, it did manage to infamously ruin The InVasion Angle when the angle started with Shane buying WCW out from under Vince and Stephanie buying out ECW and the two children teaming up to take on their father, turning the angle from the "WWF vs WCW (and ECW)" story that everyone wanted to see into yet another "McMahon vs McMahon" affair. This also ties in to Triple H and his "Reign of Terror" in the mid-00's, as he just happens to be Stephanie's husband, who just happened to be Head of Creative from roughly 2002 to sometime in the mid 2010s. Triple H was able to parlay said marriage into becoming "Content Director" (in other words, booker) himself in 2022 when Vince was (temporarily) ousted from the company, and was retained in that position when WWE was sold to the parent company of UFC in 2023. Justified Trope in this case (in the end, anyway): Triple's H marriage to Stephanie and subsequent entrance into Vince's inner circle meant he was able to spend the last 20 years learning how to be a wrestling executive, and so far he's actually done a fantastic job.

Nepotism / int_cd8905f6	comment	Baccano! has two examples, both of which are played atypically. The first is Ladd Russo who, while definitely not incompetent, is completely off his rocker. His uncle made him a hitman mostly to channel his homicidal urges more efficiently. The second and more serious example is, surprisingly enough, Luck Gandor. While he certainly doesn't seem like someone who got his position from connections alone, careful examination of the evidence (and eventual confirmation in The Slash) would reveal that he's been in the higher ranks of The Mafia since age fifteen or younger, and only because his brothers were in charge. He has quite a bit of a complex over it, and goes to considerable lengths to leave no possible doubt that he's capable.

Nepotism / int_ced3c7a1	comment	Nearly every booker in the history of professional wrestling is guilty of this, at least to some degree. When Dusty Rhodes became booker of WCW back in the early nineties, his son Dustin (aka Goldust) got pushed to the moon, but he at least had talent — Erik Watts, son of Bill Watts, was absolutely terrible but he got pushed at the expense of everyone else. The fans were aware of this and had no issue booing Erik out of the arena. Watts can at least claim he looked the part though,note Prior to becoming a wrestler he was the QB for the U. of Louisville Cardinals, so he had the athletic prowess something that couldn't be said for Greg Gagne (son of AWA promoter Verne) or George Gulas (son of Memphis promoter Nick), in fact Nick Gulas' insistence on pushing his son is to blame for his territory going under and getting taken over by Jerry Jarrett (father of Jeff, who you can read more about below.) In fact, it's widely believed that the reason Dustin went to WWF after he was fired from WCW (for blading in the infamously bad "King of the Road" match, which he must have known was against company policy) instead of letting Dusty get him rehired again was because he wanted a chance to make a career for himself out of his father's shadow and away from accusations of nepotism. It drove a rift between the two of them for years, but they made up eventually (helped by the fact that Goldust became such an iconic character). Kevin Nash stated in a promo on WCW Monday Nitro that this was part of the reason he and Scott Hall (then known as Vinnie Vegas and The Diamond Studd, respectively) left WCW to go up north and become Diesel and Razor Ramon.

Lee Adama gets accused of this by Kendra Shaw concerning his assignment to command of the Battlestar Pegasus by his Admiral father, which "your daddy just gave to you, like he was tossing you the keys to a new car". However, Adama only appointed him to the post after first going through two senior officers who both died in quick succession. Likewise with Lee becoming President — while Adama was committing something close to a military coup by refusing to recognize Zarek's control of the Colonial government despite being legally entitled to that position, Zarek was an unreliable power-seeker and Lee one of the few people available who he could trust. Baltar also espouses this for sympathy baiting in his political writings when he questions whether the fleet will ever be run by someone whose last name isn't Adama. But while the above examples are justified, Adama senior does have a strong tendency to let Lee, his assumed daughter Kara, and others close to him get away with a lot of crap and spends an inordinate amount of time and manpower to search for Thrace when she is stranded on a planet, even at the expense of fleet security.

Nepotism / int_d736423c	comment	The Rigel Black Chronicles: Harry's success is earned, but it's sometimes difficult for her to avoid the appearance, or even the accusation, of nepotism. Malcolm Hurst comes across Harry's Blood-Replenishing Potions and is honestly impressed by their quality, before he has any idea who brewed them — but his son is also a good friend of hers. As a result, when Malcolm offers her an internship with the Potions Guild, she draws unfriendly looks and comments from the other interns. Professor Snape is unusually strict with Rigel, even going so far as to assign a detention for a single missed piece of homework, which he would consider unreasonable for any other student. The reason is that he intends to apprentice Rigel, and taking an apprentice from one's own school is strongly frowned upon in the community, so he needs Rigel to be so far beyond reproach that it would seem more strange not to take him on. Caelum Lestrange is apprenticed by Master Whitaker primarily because of a long association with Caelum's parents. Caelum is talented, too, but that was why he was snapped up so quickly. When Harry needles him about it, he promptly retorts that she only gained her internship due to knowing the Aldermaster.

Nepotism / int_db30cf92	comment	Warrior Cats: It's not uncommon for leaders to appoint their family, significant other, best friend or former apprentice deputy. Ashfur calls shenanigans when Brambleclaw is appointed deputy in Sunset, saying how convenient it is that the Number Two should be the leader's daughter's mate despite the fact that Brambleclaw hasn't had an apprentice yet, which goes against the Warrior Code. Ashfur dismisses the fact that the choice was preordained by StarClan, which supplants the Warrior Code, because Leafpool, the medicine cat, happens to be another daughter of the leader, so she could easily be faking their messages to further the position of her family and cats close to it. His complaints are moot because StarClan really does want Brambleclaw to become deputy, and he soon proves himself to be very capable. Raggedstar names his son Brokentail deputy, leading to disaster as Brokentail murders him to become leader faster, and he proves to be a cruel and bloodthirsty one as he advocates mercilessly training Child Soldiers and driving out the weak to fend for themselves. Crookedstar and Onestar both make their siblings (Oakheart and Ashfoot respectively) their deputies. They are good, but they both die before making it to leader. Firestar defies this when he becomes leader; he wants to make his best friend Graystripe deputy, but he realizes it wouldn't go down very well, as Graystripe is being shunned due to mating with a cat from a rival Clan and briefly joining it. Firestar thus decides to choose the wise and popular Whitestorm. Later when Whitestorm is fatally wounded, he encourages Firestar to choose Graystripe as his successor.

Nepotism / int_e03d554a	comment	Played with in regards to Dominik Mysterio. Dominik's been appearing on WWE TV sporadically since he was a child, but didn't start training to become an actual wrestler until 2018. However, because of his father Rey Mysterio, he was allowed to bypass WWE NXT entirely and was immediately given a spot on the main roster once he was competent enough to be watchable in the ring, something that's usually reserved for more experienced wrestlers who were already world-famous, such as Sting or AJ Styles. The only reason this didn't get more complaints is because Dominik was rarely booked strongly, mainly acting as an accessory to his father's storylines. All of this later served as fodder for his Faceâ€“Heel Turn, whereupon it became openly acknowledged that for all his talent, the only reason Dominik had a spot in WWE right now instead of working his way up like everyone else was because of Rey's influence, which became a component of his heel character.

Ric Flair's son David didn't even want to be a wrestler (he wanted to be a state trooper), but the large paychecks WCW was paying him changed his mind. The fans are very vocal about their hatred of this treatment unless the wrestler proves to have actual talent. Special mention must go to The Rock, who debuted as goody-two-shoes Rocky Maivia (grandson of High Chief Peter Maivia) and was absolutely hated. "Die, Rocky, Die!" chants were not uncommon — until Rocky turned heel, joined The Nation of Domination, let himself loose on the mic and became one of the two biggest wrestling superstars in history. Ric's daughter, Charlotte, is even worse than her brother. Not only was she well protected and rarely loss a match throughout her career, she won the Divas Championship within a few months after debuting in the main roster, and from then on, winning more championships than any women in less than ten years. Though she makes up for it with her skills, her constant presence in the main roster tend to halt the push of every other women, earning Charlotte a significant heat.

Played straight when Tony privately tells Chris that he plans to eventually make Chris his Underboss rather than any of his longer serving and more qualified soldiers solely because he is â€œbloodâ€�. Subverted by Jackie Junior, who feels that since he is the son of a legendary mafioso, he is entitled to be a powerful and respected mob boss. Nobody takes him seriously, Tony actively prevents him from getting involved in anything, and his attempts to be a badass criminal end up getting him killed. "Little Carmine" Lupertazzi is a straight example, he really isn't cut out for the mafia, and likely wouldn't have ended up with the kind of money and influence he has if it weren't for his dad. Subverted by Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri. He marries Tony's sister, but his rise from Junior's flunky to #3 in the family is accompanied by him revealing himself to be much more competent and reliable than his initial appearances indicated.

Nepotism / int_f8705c18	comment	Hellsing: Sir Penwood gets his position through Nepotism, and he knows that he's unsuited for the position. But when push comes to shove, he refuses to abandon his post and tells his panicking subordinates to escape and that he can operate the command center himself. His subordinates laugh at his suggestion, stops panicking and get back to their posts, telling him to just sit down and do nothing as usual. He thanks them all for sticking to their duties with him to their end.

Nepotism / int_fb2991d8	comment	This is inverted in season 3 of Justified. The corrupt sheriff and his sister despise each other and he would never contemplate using his position to get her a job. However, on election day it is 'discovered' that she is actually an employee of the county and this violates local anti-nepotism laws. The sheriff is disqualified from running and his opponent becomes the new sheriff. Boyd Crowder bribed the sister and the county clerk to put her name on the payroll list so that Boyd's candidate would win the election.

Blaise pulled strings to arrange for Sebastian's academic honors and job. When Blaise reveals this to Sebastian not long before being arrested for murder, this realization breaks Sebastian.

Nepotism / int_fcc7ec6b	comment	This also ties in to Triple H and his "Reign of Terror" in the mid-00's, as he just happens to be Stephanie's husband, who just happened to be Head of Creative from roughly 2002 to sometime in the mid 2010s. Triple H was able to parlay said marriage into becoming "Content Director" (in other words, booker) himself in 2022 when Vince was (temporarily) ousted from the company, and was retained in that position when WWE was sold to the parent company of UFC in 2023. Justified Trope in this case (in the end, anyway): Triple's H marriage to Stephanie and subsequent entrance into Vince's inner circle meant he was able to spend the last 20 years learning how to be a wrestling executive, and so far he's actually done a fantastic job.

Several weeks later, once she realizes that she accused an orphan of using his family connections, she is mortified. On the other hand, Aria is the niece of the academy's commanding officer. While she did genuinely earn everything on her own, she is still getting special one-on-one time with him on a regular basis. When Rey is brigged and she realizes that Reese will never give him permission for a sparring partner (which will set his training back), she goes over his head to get permission from her uncle.
