The problem with spectator sports is that the spectators are pretty powerless. Why stay invested in a contest when the only participants you like are clearly doomed to lose it? But you're not completely powerless. You can't run on the field yourself but you can still help the team and the team needs you! Come, let them hear our support! This is the job of the Pom-Pom Girl. When the home team's down, when the champ is getting beat around and the fans are losing interest, she draws their attention through dance and acrobatics then works them up into joining her in support of her charge. They still have a chance! Let them know it! The Pom-Pom Girl keeps the spectators engaged, gives them the belief that they can influence the contest they are watching. When the heroes make that successful comeback, fans will be inspired to come back for more and if not, then hopefully she at least let them have some fun even though the favorite they came to see lost. The Pom-Pom Girl is a Stock Character and often Truth in Television. Though she does not always carry pom-poms and is not always female, the image of a perky dancer with pom-poms and the chants they tend to inspire are recognizable enough that they often appear outside of the intended cheerleading role. There are sporting events where pom-pom squads have no players to support and simply compete with each other to draw the best crowd reactions or judge's scores. Girls may also dress in frills and hold pom-poms for a special occasion like Halloween or in an attempt to cheer someone up. As long as she looks or acts the part it counts, go trope! In most high school settings, she'll usually be the star quarterback's girlfriend, or actively crushing on him. And she's just as likely to be at odds with the Cruel Cheerleader (her antagonistic counterpart) because of it. That said, there's no reason an antagonist can't have cheerful pom squads of their own, especially not if they have good publicity or are legitimate competitors. Compare Perky Female Minion, The Face, All Guys Want Cheerleaders, All-Cheering All the Time. For sources of inspiration outside of competitive events, see The Muse and Manic Pixie Dream Girl. |

Fillmore!: Recurring cheerleaders Maryanne Greene and Cheri Shotwell are a bit ditzy but fairly nice and seem dedicated to cheering. Maryanne's friend Alexis from "Codename: Electric Haircut" is another cheerleader who everyone speaks highly of but who has mysteriously disappeared after returning to her old role as a helpful computer geek, although she finds a balance between the two lifestyles at the end of the episode. Lorraine Almaden from "Nappers Never Sleep" was an example of the trope, but quit cheering due to having only taken it up to hang out with her former friend Bianca, who turns out to be more of a Cruel Cheerleader. |

Vicki from the sequel is a college cheerleader who stopped cheering for the school to cheer anti-war slogans at peace protests, complete with pom-poms and a Peace symbol painted on her shorts. |

Ai Kaminari alias Yatterman-2 from Yatterman in a few episodes where she cheers during the mini-robots battle with a cheerleader outfit, but without pom-pom. A villainous example with Mirenjo in another Time Bokan show, Yattodetaman. In episode 2, she starts an exhibition during the battle in a cheerleader outfit that ends with a Wardrobe Malfunction distracting for a second the heroes mecha. She uses a similar outfit in the OVA when his team faces the Skull Lease trio. |

We Are the Tigers centers on a disgraced high school cheer squad trying to make a comeback. Deconstructed and reconstructed — while most of the girls, particularly captain Riley, take their position as "the soul of the school" seriously, they're all dealing with intense pressure and deep issues behind their cheers, which only get worse when members start turning up dead. Riley in fact murdered Farrah and Chess because they didn't fit the Pom-Pom Girl standard due to their alcohol and drug issues, but the remaining squad members come together in the wake of it all to become a stronger squad, reconstructing the trope. Particularly deconstructed in "Shut Up and Cheer". | |

The boys who follow Dalton Castle are basically this when they are not waiting on his every want and need, acting as furniture or helping him compete in the Tag Team divisions of Ring of Honor. Just replaces "pom poms" with "hand fans" and the effect is exactly the same. TNA just gave him female cheerleaders instead. | |

Macdonald Hall: The students at the neighboring finishing school act as spirited cheerleaders for the football and hockey teams (although they go on strike over an argument with the boys in the fifth book) and provide their friends with plenty of help with Zany Schemes outside of games. In The Zucchini Warriors, a group of cheerleaders from an opposing team are Graceful Losers and have pizza with the opposing team. |

Dead Before Dawn: The Eagles cheerleading team are portrayed as being heavily invested in their team and during the championship game, they all turn and lift up their skirts at the opposing team (the Wildcats) while wearing Goofy Print Underwear that says "Wildcats suck." Lucy, the only cheerleader to have a name and significant role, is a Brainless Beauty, but doesn't go out of her way to be mean. While she reacts with disgust and annoyance when Seth crudely hits on her, she reacts the same way toward Handsome Lech and Jerk Jock Patrick later on. | |

Peggy became a cheerleading coach in an episode of King of the Hill but only the ex-coach is truly mean-spirited (and villainous for focusing on the cheerleading competitions instead of cheering on the football team). Connie even joins the squad, and while there are few mild jokes alluding to the girl's cattiness, they're not portrayed too stereotypically. | |

Total Drama. Four different characters over the course of the show, though Lindsay is a Brainless Beauty and Samey of Pahkitew Island is a good cheerleader but has to deal with an evil twin sister.

Black Rose has a cheerleading background, and got to show it after Rico Suave turned on Bronco #1 and joined with the New Wrestling Star and New Empire promotions that were invading WWC, making the Broncos and herself by association faces by default. Besides whipping up the crowds she once inspired the men of the WWC locker room to storm out in force after Bronce #1 and Eddie Colon had been cornered by the independent circuit invaders. | |

In Monster Hunter 4 and Monster Hunter Generations, a rare and powerful Palico ability is to whip out a pair of belled pompoms and start cheering their team on.

CM Punk's initial gimmick in Ohio Valley Wrestling was that of a pom cheerleader with Alexis Laree drug into it for good measure. Punk, to his credit, was really enthusiastic and tried really hard to make it work but no one, not even the "writer" who came up with the idea, liked it and Paul Heyman killed The Gimmick dead...until it was resurrected for Johnny, Mickey, Kenny, and Mitch of the Spirit Squad. They were initially presented as unhelpful examples whose "cheering" caused Jerry Lawler to lose a match but were later played straight when they came back together to fight The Flood out to kill off Chikara. | |

Nobita uses them on his classmates to beat Suneo in a board game and a sprint, but also on his mother so he can scold back at his father. Said gadget even shows up in at least two movies, Doraemon: Nobita's the Legend of the Sun King and Doraemon: Nobita and the Island of Miracles ~Animal Adventure~, with Shizuka using them and cheering Nobita allowing him to kick butt effortlessly. | |

All the teams in Blood Bowl have the option of hiring cheerleaders as part of their coaching staff to encourage the fans to show their support. In all the editions of the game where they have been included, cheerleaders give their team bonuses for various results on the Kick-off table that involve the fans. The 5th Edition rules also include temporary and special character cheerleaders that have extra rules. The first Video Game adaptation features varying types of cheerleaders for each side. So while Humans have traditional pom-pom shakers, Vampire cheerleaders are zombified, Orcs have war drummers, Lizardmen have skink priests waving football rattles, etc. |

Flores Quintera in Spellsinger turns out to be a very intelligent Action Girl suffering from a glass ceiling. She wanted to be an astronaut, but she's too pretty to be taken seriously and living in the 1970s, so she ended up taking a communications course at university to get in on the public relations end of the space program, and only joined the cheerleading squad because women at her university aren't allowed to join the actual football team. | |

While the cheerleading co-captains in American Dragon: Jake Long are stereotypically unpleasant, Tricia from the episode "The Love Cruise" is dating a Goth and does a public cheer about their relationship. Trixie actually goes undercover in "Bring It On" as a cheerleader when the Monster of the Week brainwashes the local Alpha Bitch and her Girl Posse into doing her bidding with their cheerleading skills. Jake and Spud are floored at seeing Trixie in her cheerleading outfit, Spud outright saying it's the first he's ever seen her knees. While Trixie dips into becoming a Cruel Cheerleader a little due to her new "friends'" influence, she snaps out of it by the end of the episode. |

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan centers around a group of men who help people achieve difficult tasks by cheering them on. Its sister project Elite Beat Agents centers around state-sponsored cheerleaders, though the agents look more like The Men in Black than pom-pom girls. The hardest difficulty level swaps the men out for teams of cute girls, complete with pom-poms, who play the trope completely straight. | |

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Chipettes in the episode "The Gang's All Here" where they come as cheerleaders initially to help The Chipmunk in their battle against a gang called the Steam Rollers. However, when the boys need help, they are quick to enter the ring. The episode "Quarterback in Curlers" has Alvin take this role when Brittany, the head cheerleader in the school, joins the football team and quits cheerleading. They don't fit well in their new positions as Alvin makes selfish cheers and Brittany uses overly complicated plays. |

Jeepers Creepers 2 All three of the cheerleaders among the kids who the Creeper attacks are fairly sympathetic and take their school's sports seriously before more important matters come up. Rhonda is a compassionate Action Girl, Minxie is a nervous Unhappy Medium, and Chelsea is polite and soft-spoken. The worst thing they do is sneak some cigarettes and (in Chelsea's case) display a few cowardly moments after a night of harrowing monster attacks. | |

Reese joins the cheerleading team to impress her, but she doesn't return his crush until he engages in a more shy form of flirting and shows the dedication to really learn their athletic routine. The other cheerleaders also greatly enjoy what they do and include male cheerleaders who are at the bottom of the social hierarchy but are well-liked by their female teammates. | |

In The Bible, the Seraphim function as this for God Himself! They have six pairs of wings, but only one pair is used for flying. The others are used to cover their faces and feet because apparently the trope Holy Is Not Safe applies to them too. And praising God is all they ever do. They are not adolescent girls, just highly specialized Winged Humanoids. | |

Fear Street: Many of the characters in the five-book cheerleading story arc fit this role, including the leads. During the Fear Street Seniors miniseries Cheer captain Phoebe Yamura is a completely inoffensive character with a lot of school spirit and athleticism, in addition to being an Academic Athlete and a Butt-Monkey (due to the jealous sabotage by two squad members she beat for the captain's slot, a cheating boyfriend, nearly being arrested after said boyfriend gets murdered, something she is wrongfully suspected of, parents who pressure her to quit cheerleading, and a violent stalker). Several of her squad members — Samantha, Joey, Gina, Caitlin, and Dani — also seem fairly down-to-earth from what we see of them, although Jade, Dana, and arguably Greta come across more negatively. | |

Saturday Night Live parodies this with the recurring "Spartan Cheerleaders" sketch, in which two would-be cheerleaders whose over-the-top enthusiasm far outstrips their skill get rejected by the school's squad, form their own two-person squad and try to cheerlead every event possible, including a chess tournament and a math competition. They annoy everyone, but they don't let that get them down. | |

Major Houlihan from M*A*S*H takes this to Genki Girl levels while cheering for her team as they battle a rival infantry unit in football. Played for Laughs as Houlihan knows zero about football and actually cheers when Trapper John is sacked in the end zone for a safety. | |

Malina, the main female character of The Emperor's New School, is a cheerleader who cares about studies and ethics. In fact, one episode shows that cheerleaders at Kuzco Academy are required to keep high grades and that an A-minus isn't considered high enough. Truth in Television as many schools do require a minimum GPA for participation in athletics, although usually not to this extreme. | |

Lucas: Maggie is portrayed as a nice person both before and after joining the cheerleading squad (in order to get closer to a football player she likes, and to have fun) and head cheerleader Alise, while a bit jealous and prissy, is never mean to Lucas. Several others on the squad do occasionally laugh at him until the end but cheerleading itself gets a neutral, somewhat positive portrayal. | |

Danny Phantom: In "My Brother's Keeper": Mr. Lancer, normally stern (if not sadistic) teacher, surprisingly reveals he was the male version of this in high school. He still gets a little too into Casper High Spirit Week during the course of the episode. Subverted, since the students understandably find the enthusiasm of a middle aged teacher much more weird than inspiring. Inverted in the sense that the cheerleaders at the pep rally all lack any pep due to being victims of Spectra, but Jazz, despite not being a cheerleader, ends up fulfilling the role of the cheerful optimist rallying the students in her speech. Her support of Danny even inspires him to fight back against Spectra's "Reason You Suck" Speech. |

Miss Martian/M'Gann in Young Justice joined the cheerleading squad but is one of the heroes, as well as being usually a friendly and nice person. And the entire cheer squad seems to be pretty decent people. Karen Beecher goes on to become the superheroine Bumblebee, while Wendy Harris becomes a good friend to several of the heroes in their civilian identities and provides some much-needed emotional support and stability to them. | |

That being said, once Sam starts dating her, she proves to be shallow and humorless, and they quickly break up. Maureen enjoys making bottle rockets with the geeks and joins the cheerleading squad for the fun of it. While she stops spending time with her old friends after this, she's never unkind to them or embarrassed by their presence. |

Sanae Nakazawa in Captain Tsubasa is a more tomboyish example of this during the elementary school arcs, because she doesn't use pom-poms (she goes for a big flag instead) nor does she wear a cheerleader outfit at any point. Still, she otherwise fits the trope to a T when cheering for the Nankatsu Elementary team (and for Tsubasa himself), and even though she later drops this role in favor of becoming the team's Cute Sports Club Manager during middle school, she's still shown cheering for Tsubasa and Japan during the World Youth arc. | |

Being an American football manga, Eyeshield 21 is rife with them, with most teams having their own squad with a unique theme. The Devil Bats' cheer captain, Suzuna Taki, is friendly, intelligent, highly athletic, and responsible for recruiting most of the others, although she's also short and depressingly flat-chested. Achilles was conned into joining the Alexanders on the ruse he could date their cheerleaders. | |

1632: In an early scene, the Grantville High cheerleaders chant to welcome the Scottish cavalrymen, and a few of them have more prominent roles later on. Julie Simms becomes the series' premier Friendly Sniper by the time she turns 20. Missy Jenkins becomes a librarian and marries the son of the local stoner. |

Penn & Teller: Bullshit! argues that some feminist activists who argued that cheerleading should not be classed as a sport were driven by their anti-cheerleader prejudices. Most of the real-life cheerleaders who appear in their show generally fit the normal well-adjusted teenager model. | |

In one of the Sabrina the Teenage Witch novelisations Sabrina ends up swapping lives with the Alpha Bitch Libby and is nearly half-killed after one cheerleading practice, not realising how much athleticism it takes. Libby's Girl Posse are portrayed as bitches, naturally, but one of the other cheerleaders also invites Sabrina out to a concert. | |

In the American Pie spinoff The Book of Love, cheerleader and Girl Posse member Ashley is friendly to the geeky characters and gets a Damsel out of Distress moment while stranded on a gondola. She is justifiably annoyed at being treated as a Lust Object by Stalker with a Crush Lube, but is willing to hear out his claims that his feelings go beyond sleazy lust. | |

Stepping on the Cracks: The main characters look up to Barbara, a gentle, athletic recently-graduated cheerleader whose late husband was the quarterback. Barbara gets along well with the sensitive and bookish Stuart, once stood up to his Big Brother Bully, and doesn't resent Stuart's choice to be a conscientious objector. | |

Randi Rah Rah and Patti Pep, the cheerleaders from the Women Of Wrestling promotion. Pep was corrupted, renamed Patti Pizzazz, and made into the personal assistant of the evil delusional actress Lana Star but ended up being fired by Star for being too kind and for maintaining her friendship with Rah Rah. | |

Cold Case: Rainey Karlsen from "Stand Up and Holler" and Felicia Grant from "Almost Paradise" are both nice, intelligent cheerleaders who view popularity as a curse rather than as something that entitles them to belittle others. Rainey's fellow cheerleaders fit the more negative stereotype of the sport, though. | |

Cobra Kai: Moon is the most prominent cheerleader in the show. She starts out as a Peer-Pressured Bully but turns into a Wide-Eyed Idealist and New-Age Retro Hippie who strives to bring out the best in her classmates and help the warring karate dojos find common ground. | |
