Slobs Versus Snobs | comment |
Odd Couple, indeed. One is well-groomed, clean, stylishly dressed, and treats those around as inferior, be it at a Renaissance court or a slum. The other is scruffy, dirty, dressed entirely from the used clothes discount pile, and acts like boorish rabble, rolling their eyes at the uptight. They will usually be in close proximity, at least in the same neighborhood, city, or space sector. And of course they fight. The scale of the conflict can be any size, be it a clique vs. clique social power struggle in a school, a street brawl between rival gangs, or two species or even Planet of Hats at war. It can cross into armed revolution, or either Kill the Poor or Eat the Rich. Beyond the superficial dichotomy, this conflict is one of lifestyle and worldview. The Snobs are at their best epicurean, refined, and educated — but can occasionally also be classist and vain, while Slobs are often honest, revelrous and dionysian — but possibly violent and dangerous. As a narrative device, Slobs vs. Snobs rarely presents both sides equally. More often than not, the Slobs are presented in a more sympathetic light than the Snobs. Every once in a blue moon however you do see a Snob-sympathetic angle where the Slobs really are Insufferable Imbeciles. Even then, there are often good and bad attributes associated with both positions, and many uses of this trope end with An Aesop that Both Sides Have a Point and can learn from each other to become better people. Occasionally, though, they’re both shown to be equally terrible. On the Sliding Scale of Shiny Versus Gritty, Snobs would be shiny and Slobs would be gritty. Compare/see also Elves vs. Dwarves, Fur Against Fang, and Tanuki/Kitsune Contrast, where the Snobs will be elves, vampires, or kitsune, and the Slobs will be dwarves, werewolves, or tanuki respectively. (Though vampire elves and werewolf dwarves aren't out of the question, nor for that matter are Elven Vampire Werewolves). The trope Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor is what happens when you mix slobs vs snobs with a love triangle and their financial status is proportional to their classiness. Technician vs. Performer is a similar trope in the entertainment world. Rock is Authentic, Pop is Shallow is a similar trope in the music world. Theatre Is True Acting compares screen acting (often the lowbrow "slob") to stage acting (often the classical "snob"). When the Slobs are men and the Snobs are women, it's a Girls vs. Boys Plot. See also Wunza Plot. For a character that embodies the positive qualities of both the snobs and slobs see Self-Made Man; for one who embodies the negative qualities of both see Nouveau Riche. Super-Trope to Academia Elitism. Subtrope of Harmony Vs Discipline, Foil, and Red Oni, Blue Oni. |

Sherlock: Mycroft straightens Sherlock's doorknocker, has a well-organised office, and works with powerful government agencies and their clandestine spy networks. Sherlock's flat is a complete mess and he works with a "homeless network" of his own design which is loosely kept together by bribes. John also tries to keep to the Snob side but gives up on 221B. | |

In Thud!, the werewolf Angua has to team up with a vampire — which she resents. Werewolves hate vampires, because vampires have style, and make werewolves look like low-class mutts. As Carrot points out, she's gorgeous and doesn't have anything to worry about. Nevertheless, it's something that's ingrained into the psyche of the two species. The werewolves are very much members of the political "establishment" in Uberwald, and Angua's brother Wolfgang is very much a case of Putting on the Reich while her father, not so much. | |

One of the ongoing subplots on Mortified is the clashes between the Frys (slobs) and the Flunes (snobs). In one episode, the Flunes hope to buy out the Frys so they can demolish the Frys house (which they consider an eyesore) and turn the Frys block into their extended garden. | |

Following the JWA split, this was zigzagged between All Japan Pro Wrestling and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, depending on what one was looking for, All Japan being more traditional in the vein of its "parent" company but New Japan being more serious when it came to match structure itself even if the pre and post-match shenanigans were less restrained. They in turn acted as middlemen for this debate between FMW, which were the slobs concerned with blood, guts and burn marks compared to the two more traditional promotions and the Universal Wrestling Federation, who were the snobs concerned with all strikes and holds being done as hard and plausible as possible compared to the more traditional promotions. | |

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air used this in some of the earlier episodes as a source of conflict between Will and his cousin Carlton. As the show wore on though, Carlton got dumber and dorkier until there was no more point in conflicting with the paragon-of-coolness Will. Notably, it was also a rare subversion in that it depicted how, despite their wealth, the Bankses could still suffer from racism (such as being stopped by the police when they weren't doing anything wrong) from white people while also being accused by fellow blacks of being Category Traitors and "sellouts" because of their status. Uncle Phil gave a notable Shut Up, Hannibal! reply to one woman who accused him of this, reminding her that he participated in the civil rights movement and that he was there when Harlem was burned by violence. |

This type of conflict emerged in the Gambino crime family after Paul Castellano took control. Unlike his predecessor Carlo Gambino, he viewed himself as a businessman first and foremost and looked down his nose at the blue-collar criminals in the family. His opinion of capo John Gotti was especially negative, viewing him as little more than a crude thug. For their part, Gotti and his blue-collar faction saw Castellano as a pretentious, overprivileged Spoiled Brat who never actually earned anything and became boss through luck and nepotism. This conflict eventually turned lethal: Gotti had Castellano and his underboss Thomas Bilotti murdered while they were on their way to a meeting at Sparks Steak House. | |

Subverted in Inside Job (2021). At first glance, Rand is the drunken, boorish Slob to his ex-wife Tamiko's cultured, vain Snob, but he was actually a wealthy CEO before falling from grace, and he's shown to be just as classist and narcissistic as she is, if not worse. | |

crawlersout: Two of Tom's friends, Ruth and Margaret, are thicker than thieves, but their respective parents dislike each other so much that Margaret can't even come to her best friend's birthday party, ostensibly due to this dynamic. While both families are extremely wealthy (the school Tom attends being extremely prestigious and expensive), Ruth's family is Old Money and subscribes to Simple, yet Opulent spending. Margaret's family, while not slovenly, so to speak, is Nouveau Riche (her father is the current President of General Motors, and her mother an actress), and their spending is considerably more garish in comparison. | |

Gilmore Girls: Lorelai is a Defector from Decadence who lives a middle-class lifestyle, and her worldview, values, and tastes are often at odds with her Old Money family, particularly her mother. Emily finds Lorelia's style and house to be garish and tacky, while Lorelai finds her childhood home to be suffocating with its museum-like decor. The younger Gilmore home has a lived-in look, while the elder Gilmore home is impeccably upkept by a rotating cast of maids. This is usually Playedfor Laughs, like when Rory introduces her baffled grandmother to their Charlie's Angels dinnerware, but is just as often Playedfor Drama, like when Emily discovers Lorelai raised Rory in a shed for 10 years after running away from their home, working her way up from maid to manager at the Inn it belonged to. | |

Fire Emblem: Classism has always been an element in play, but the Tellius duology of Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn magnifies it. The beorc are a race who focus on knowledge and invention, while the laguz focus on brute strength. This racial divide is so steep that they might even attack each other on sight. The laguz are shown in a far more sympathetic light, for the most part, with the racist beorc townspeople often ending up dead. Amongst the beorc, there is this issue as well, with Ike and nobility sharing mutual dislike of each other. In order to command the Crimean army to save the kingdom, Ike reluctantly accepts peerage but after the kingdom is won, he says he only will stick around until everything is settled, and he renounces his title in the time between the two games. |

In The City Who Fought, Simeon is decidedly more of a slob, and his new brawn Channa is more of a snob. They get on the wrong foot before even meeting because Simeon's upset about his old brawn retiring and tries to smear all the potential replacements and destroy their reputations, dashing Channa's hopes for an assignment that she'd really wanted. When they actually meet, Simeon hits on her, which she doesn't appreciate. She then starts a thorough inspection of the entire station, citing safety as she repeatedly finds shortcomings in the ways he and the other personnel have run things. Channa refuses to allow Simeon to manipulate her, humiliate and undercut her, or to ignore her professional opinions. Simeon starts out thinking of her as a bitch, and she thinks of him as a Manchild. Gradually he learns to respect her and she mellows, helped along when they find a Commonality Connection in their shared appreciation for classical and opera music, and find a balance that's affectionate even if they sometimes bicker. They need both Channa's rigor and thoroughness and Simeon's fluidity and comfort with chaos to deal with the rest of the plot of the book. | |

The Simpsons: The episode "A Tale of Two Springfields" had Homer Simpson divide the town in such a feud...because half the town's phone numbers had a new area code. (The "rich" part of town kept the old area code while the rest had to learn a new one.) Then the people on Homer's side soon went to the other side of town because they were low on supplies, and only the Simpsons were left. This trope was portrayed inconsistently in the case of the "Springfield versus Shelbyville" ongoing town rivalry. In the relatively early episode "Lemon of Troy", it is revealed that the current inhabitants of Springfield are descended from wholesome, all-American frontier stock (well, by the show's standards, anyway) while the Shelbyvillians are descended from a renegade band of pioneers who broke off from Jebediah Springfield's party because he would not allow them to practice cousin marriage; the "inevitable" result is that the modern-day Springfieldians are normal (again, by the show's standards) and the Shelbyvillians are inbred hillbillies who view the Springfieldians as over-civilized weaklings. But in the much later episode "The Seven Beer Snitch," the stereotypes are reversed and now the suddenly "sophisticated" Shelbyvillians scorn the Springfieldians for being "uncultured" and stupid. (The fact that all of the show's stereotypes had been exaggerated by that point certainly didn't help the confusion.) All very much a case of Springfield geography, considering that Cletus Spuckle and his family appear to be local residents. "They Saved Lisa's Brain" could also count, but that's more "The smart people of Springfield vs. the idiots of Springfield". In "Highway To Well", the staff of Well + Good are the "snobs" who claim to elevate the image of cannabis to the masses, even going so far as to have a cannabis wellness spa for the rich and influential, while they look down on Homer selling cannabis in the style of a sketchy backroom drug dealer (the "slobs"). |

While Alfred is the member of the immediate Batfamily, other than Cass, that Tim gets along the best with, and with whom he shares all of his secrets, Tim's slob-like tendencies and disastrous mess of a room are clear and constant points of contention with due to Alfred's proper and tidy preferences. note Tim didn't live at the manor for long, and when he did mostly lived in the apartment in the old stables which Alfred did not clean but was always displeased to see due to the mess. | |

It's a Nice Life: A comic strip version of The Good Life. It played up the snobbery of the conservative family and made the self-sufficient family much more loutish— thereby completely missing the point of the original series which was that both couples were very much middle-class householders - Tom and Barbara could only embark in their life of self-sufficiency because they owned a house with quite a large garden, after all. It also missed that the couples in the original series mostly got on fine — Jerry and Margo didn't understand why the Goods were doing this, but they were still friends. | |

The Beano: This UK comic book had Dennis the Menace (UK) (not to be confused with the US version) who was a catapult wielding tearaway against the more nicely brought up Softies. Lord Snooty and his family versus the Gasworks Gang. Most of Lord Snooty's close friends were also commoners, though; in the first issue, he decides they're more fun than his posh friends. Posh Street School is one of the two schools that has a rivalry with Bash Street in The Bash Street Kids. (The other being Blob Street, which is more or less the same socioeconomic status as Bash Street.) |

In RWBY: This dynamic is definitely an undercurrent of the antagonism between Ruby and Yang's Cool Uncle Qrow (Slob) and Weiss' Cool Big Sis Winter (Snob). She's the prim-'n'-proper military specialist (and severe enough to make Weiss seem relaxed) and he's the rude and unkempt booze-hound Huntsman. She refers to him with a certain upper-class contempt, and he refers to her as "Ice Queen". Also, this dynamic is what makes Weiss and Yang foils, as Weiss' sheltered upbringing and Proper Lady persona contrast sharply with Yang's thrill-seeker tendencies and Badass Biker trappings. Volume 7 introduces the tension within the Kingdom of Atlas between Atlas proper, a Shining City hovering in the sky, and Mantle, the former capital currently facing disrepair and severe neglect from the authorities. This is reflected by the rivalry between two candidates running for a seat in the Atlesian high council. Jacques Schnee, a Sharp-Dressed Man favoring bespoke white suits — and the Archnemesis Dad to Weiss and Winter — is in charge of the main Dust mining company in Remnant and talks to others coating his unsavoury greed with a veneer of politeness. Opposing him is Robyn Hill, a Mantle native with an abrasive yet deeply caring personality who abandoned her opportunity to get a cozy well-paid position in Atlesian security forces so she could stay in Mantle and champion the rights of its dwellers, even willing to steal from the authorities if it's the only way to get supplies for Mantle. |

The episode "The Masquerade" of Tales From the SMP features a Cast Full of Rich People who share disdain towards the poor... and an nudist Lower-Class Lout named Drew P. Wiener. Naturally, this causes a lot of tension among the attendees of the masquerade party, with some people refusing to even touch Drew while playing Duck Duck Goose, and when Drew is the first person to get murdered, most of the cast considered him too poor to matter. | |

Harry Potter: The family rivalry between the impoverished Weasleys and the high-society Malfoys. The Malfoys look down on the Weasleys for being poor and associating themselves with Muggles. The Weasleys, on the other hand, disdain the Malfoys for their intollerance towards Muggles and their possible ties to the Dark Lord Voldemort. The Weasleys are also often compared to the Dursleys. The Weasleys are a scruffy bunch with a kooky house and an overgrown garden. The Dursleys live in an overly tidy normal house and are generally obsessed with appearances. The series uses a little bit of this in its depiction of conflict between the Hogwarts houses. The Slytherins, especially the present day ones as represented by Draco Malfoy, are portrayed as being from wealthy "pure blood" families while the other three houses — Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff — are generally portrayed as being from more blue-collar middle-class families financially speaking. |

The business rivalry between Half-Life's Black Mesa Research Facility, who generally behave like legitimate scientists, and Portal's Aperture Science, who, in the words of their founder, are "just throwing science at the wall and seeing what sticks". Though aesthetically, Aperture's clean white Apple-esque everything look plays the snob while Black Mesa's actual science-going-on look plays the slob. In the older areas of Aperture seen in Portal 2, we see that they designed according to whatever looked "cool" for the given time period. | |

The Night Circus: The conflict between Hector and Mr. A.H— is illustrated by their personalities. Hector is the Slob, having a more informal attitude, using vulgar language, and having a messy and disorganized living space. He's also more prone to shocking and violent actions, like cutting Celia's fingers to teach her to heal herself. Mr. A.H— is the snob, being cold, aloof, and apathetic to the point of being haughty. However, he values education and culture, unlike Hector. | |

This is part of the amusing culture clash between our hunter heroes and the Men of Letters on Supernatural. Our protagonists are the brutish, flannel-wearing, blue-collar-coded American hunters. The Men of Letters we meet in the present day are British with everything that goes along with those stereotypes and even the older American Men of Letters (before they all died) were shown to be men of culture and learning who disapproved of the sloppy hunters of their day. Dean and Sam get to live in their nice bunker because they're technically legacies. | |

This played a major role in the dynamic between Pembleton and Felton in Homicide: Life on the Street. Felton, who comes from a rough working class background, despises the uptight and snobby Pembleton, while Pembleton in turn hates Felton for his boorishness and casual racism. Both sides were depicted as equally sympathetic and flawed, and the two ultimately bond with each other while investigating a particularly horrific case. | |

Discworld: In Going Postal, the last two Post Office employees are also room-mates. Stanley Howler and Tulliver Groat share accommodation which is divided straight down the middle with a very definite painted dividing line. It even runs down the middle of the table, save for a circular "neutral space" housing the cruet set. Stanley's half is insanely neat and ordered to the point of making an OCD sufferer look like a vagrant. Groat's half of the room... isn't. This is mirrored later on with the members of the clacks-hacking collective, the Smoking Gnu. There is an ongoing simmering war between one who stores his tools and even his nuts, bolts, screws, and nails by size in dedicated jars and drawers, and one who prefers to chuck it all into the same box and have a good rummage. In Thud!, the werewolf Angua has to team up with a vampire — which she resents. Werewolves hate vampires, because vampires have style, and make werewolves look like low-class mutts. As Carrot points out, she's gorgeous and doesn't have anything to worry about. Nevertheless, it's something that's ingrained into the psyche of the two species. The werewolves are very much members of the political "establishment" in Uberwald, and Angua's brother Wolfgang is very much a case of Putting on the Reich while her father, not so much. The wizards are generally the Snobs to the Slobs of the city watch, adventurers, or ordinary Morporkians. Due to the nature of the books' changing viewpoints, this is seen from both sides. In a wizard-centric book, the Wizards will be fat and goofy, but capable and wise, whereas the citizens and guards will be an ignorant rabble who doesn't know what they're messing with. In a commoner-centric book, the wizards will seem like a load of pompous, out-of-touch bureaucrats while the commoners are the ones holding everything together. Unseen Academicals, which focused evenly on the wizards and their working-class servants, proved there's some truth to both viewpoints. Hogfather features an argument between the Senior Wrangler and the Dean, based on the fact that the Dean's family hung up pillowcases for the Hogfather, while the Wrangler's hung up very small socks. The Dean's family also bought their holly instead of collecting it themselves, and had "la-di-da posh dinner in the evening" and a big Hogswatch tree in the hall. Vimes and the other nobles are this after his marriage (and shortly after that, promotion to Commander). They still see him as a dressed-up slob. In the suplementary material such as the diaries, the students of the Assassins Guild and Thieves Guild are traditional rivals. The young Assassins are mostly the sons of gentlefolk, with the Guild school being closely based on Eton, while the Thieves are mostly street kids. It's also suggested that Scholarship Boys at the Assassins Guild (those who are accepted to the school despite low birth due to innate skills) are given a hard time by their fellow students. (Although, given those innate skills, generally not for long.) |

The Guns of the South: One of the recurring themes in the book is how slavery interacts with other aspects of Confederate culture. When Generals Lee and Forrest run against each other in the Confederate presidential election, Lee adopts an anti-slavery platform which causes Forrest to accuse him of being a Snob, attempting to high-handedly steal the property of poor whites. On the other side of the coin, Forrest's representative gets laughed offstage in Nashville for attempting to sell "Lee's gonna take yer slaves" to an audience who are far too poor to even think about owning slaves, and think that Forrest's focus on courting slaveowners makes him the Snob. | |

Final Fantasy XIV Faezahr thinks himself a more sophisticated counterpart to Brithael, owing to his more eloquent tongue and sharper business instincts. In reality, his vice (spending inordinate amounts of money on commissions he then gives away in an attempt to woo female gladiators) is simply less publicly embarrassing than Brithael's (spending those commissions getting sloshed at the tavern). Of the two Lalafellin men vying for Kokomo's affections in the Weaver questline, Wawarukka is the sweet, bumbling, and dirty slob to Mamajaru's prim and proper Jerkass snob. Wawarukka is constantly dirty due to working as part of the Miner's Guild and is a constant Rummage Sale Reject who is head-over-heels for Kokomo. Meanwhile, Mamajaru sees her as a Trophy Wife and demands she obey him after her father arranges for their marriage to secure their finanical futures. |

Nocturnal Animals: Susan is a gallery owner who receives a novel written by her ex-husband Edward, in which a man called Tony has a disastrous road trip. Susan’s family is clearly rich, and in a flashback, Susan’s mother seems to object to Edward for not being rich. In a dramatised scene from the novel, there is definitely an edge of class resentment in the confrontation between Tony’s middle-class family and Ray’s gang. |

Ready Jet Go!: "Earth Camping" shows that Jet and Carrot are the Slobs to Mitchell and Mr. Peterson's Snobs. Jet is more laid-back and actually loves making mistakes and playing around. Mitchell is more uptight and serious, especially when he chastises Jet for folding the map into a hat. Mr. Peterson is uptight and takes himself way too seriously. Carrot is more laid-back, silly, and open-minded, which results in Carrot being a much happier person than Mr. Peterson. In the episode, they clash due to Carrot's inexperience with camping on Earth vs. Mr. Peterson's seasoned experience. | |

He wore cheap ties and an ancient raincoat (regardless of the weather); in an early episode, one character says he looked like "an unmade bed" and in another episode, he was mistaken for a homeless man. The murder suspects that Columbo investigated were always rich and successful: millionaire businessmen murdering faithless lovers, arrogant aristocrats murdering blackmailers, Corrupt Corporate Executives murdering people who knew how corrupt they are. Part of the fun of Columbo lays in watching Columbo the slob take down the Snob Of The Week. | |

A French parody of Family Feud by Les Inconnus pitted a family of snobs against a family of slobs. The latter get a comfortable lead since the "right answers" are drawn from a poll, itself heavily dominated by slobs. | |

Dirty Dancing not only has this between the wealthy resort guests and the poorer staff, it happens among the staff—the waiters were recruited from Ivy League schools and are practically ordered to court the girls while the entertainment staff is just as sternly ordered to keep their hands off of them. | |

The Universal Wrestling Federation were the extreme snobs, being even more formal than All Japan Pro Wrestling until Giant Baba tightened up the booking and doubled down on clean finishes anyway, and more realistic than New Japan in that UWF did away with the traditional collar and elbow tie ups and tests of strength. They didn't even have technical wrestling displays for the sake of them, going for other tactics like kicks at the earliest convenience. Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling by contrast were the extreme slobs to all mainstream Japanese pro wrestling, All Japan, All Japan Women's and New Japan, intentionally all at once. While FMW didn't pay quite as much attention to UFW, the company was named by Atsushi Onita with UWF in mind and did parody their style for its earliest shows before finding its own voice. And FMW's voice was the bang of barbwire rigged explosives. | |

In mainstream Mexican Lucha, this describes the rivalry between AAA and CMLL. Triple A has drawn the largest crowds on record in Mexico and in all of North America the only promotion to successfully out draw it is WWE. CMLL meanwhile typically draws smaller crowds but boasts the highest at the gate draws as far as revenue is concerned in the nation's history, WWE again being the only company on the continent that comes close.note WCW has beat them and WWF/E in both areas as far as North American promotions go but wasn't actually able to do so on the continent of North America itself, having to go to Asia. The National Wrestling Alliance has also done comparable money gates to CMLL, but during the era in which it did, it was an alliance. CMLL is the comparatively more serious of the two, its angles being much more down-to-earth and its presentation as a sport more formal, while AAA has had angles involving murder by volcano and lots of over-the-top Gimmick Matches involving ladders or referee shenanigans. CMLL is also slightly more family-friendly, as blood is shed less frequently as a consequence of its more subdued gimmick matches and increasingly few of the matches it has that do feature bloodshed have aired on its TV program unedited. Before AAA, the same could be said of EMLL and LLI/UWA, except those promotions got along much better. | |

The feud that turned the tide of WWE and led to them winning the Monday Night Wars fit this bill. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was a foul-mouthed, beer-swilling Texas redneck who would beat up anyone just because he felt like it, while Vince McMahon was the billionaire owner of the company, lording over everyone in it. | |

On Rupauls Drag Race, "Pageant Queens vs Comedy Queens" is shorthand for the frequent rivalry between polished, serious, fashion queens and crass, low-brow, campy queens, with a roughly-equal number of season winners on both sides. However, this trope is also deconstructed a bit, since Ru and the judges want to see versatility and queens willing to step outside their comfort zone. Thus, pageant queens are encouraged to ham it up in acting challenges, while comedy queens are expected to deliver at least one outfit on the runway that's pure glamour with no gimmicks. | |

The wizards are generally the Snobs to the Slobs of the city watch, adventurers, or ordinary Morporkians. Due to the nature of the books' changing viewpoints, this is seen from both sides. In a wizard-centric book, the Wizards will be fat and goofy, but capable and wise, whereas the citizens and guards will be an ignorant rabble who doesn't know what they're messing with. In a commoner-centric book, the wizards will seem like a load of pompous, out-of-touch bureaucrats while the commoners are the ones holding everything together. Unseen Academicals, which focused evenly on the wizards and their working-class servants, proved there's some truth to both viewpoints. | |

Pro Wrestling NOAH vs Pro Wrestling ZERO1 was like this, while their rivalry lasted. NOAH was supposed to be a new millennium update to All Japan's "dignified real sport" presentation of pro wrestling and had a new governing body known as "The Global Honored Crown" made up of several world-renowned pro wrestlers like Harley Race, who would sanction title matches. Mitsuharu Misawa started NOAH, and rarely ever lost on its shows, but the show wasn't all about him as it scouted new wrestlers from sumo, judo, and the amateur wrestling All Japan Championships. Zero 1 was a transparent vehicle being used to revive Shinya Hashimoto's career and continued to place him front and center even after it was clear he had regained his popularity. And in contrast to lofty GHC of NOAH, pretty much anything could happen on a Zero 1 card, especially the parts of the card that didn't involve Hashimoto. Like the All Japan-New Japan rivalry, the male Japanese native regulars of Zero 1 tended to wrestle in more realistic, or at least plausible ways than NOAH's, especially the heavyweights, but unlike New Japan Zero 1 was just fine with putting Joshi of all sorts of styles in the ring and crossing over with any other company it could, be it realistic pro wrestling, a real sports league, a garbage fed, lucharesu or a food vendor, and showcase all kinds of gimmick matches with odd stipulations. | |

Classism has always been an element in play, but the Tellius duology of Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn magnifies it. The beorc are a race who focus on knowledge and invention, while the laguz focus on brute strength. This racial divide is so steep that they might even attack each other on sight. The laguz are shown in a far more sympathetic light, for the most part, with the racist beorc townspeople often ending up dead. | |

Invoked and Subverted in Withnail and I. Whilst Withnail is from an extremely wealthy family and has a priveleged background; they've cut him off for his chosen career as an actor. Due to his subsequent poverty, and his Upper-Class Twit nature meaning he's never been taught how to look after himself, the man is absolutely filthy and his flat-share is more squalid than your average refugee camp. The scene in the tea room most eloquently evokes this, as the very snobbish patrons are disgusted by Withnail & I's slovenly appearance under the influence, even when it becomes apparent that they are far more cultured than they are. | |

In the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode "The Great Divide", the neat and snobbish Gan Jin tribe had a long-standing feud with the slobbish Zhang, stemming from a single incident in the past. Aang would later claim to have been present at said incident, which according to him, was a simple children's game that has been grossly exaggerated by both sides over the years. In fact, he was lying to try and end the feud. The clean/dirty issue was just an expression of their feud; in fact, it's possible they became clean and dirty to distinguish themselves from each other. ("Gan Jing" is Mandarin for "clean" and "Zhang" is Mandarin for "dirty", which makes the tribe names somewhat less than imaginative.) This rivalry caused problems when the two groups had to cross a huge canyon together. Unlike most examples, neither side held a clear moral high ground. In the Sequel Series The Legend of Korra, this is the main, if simplified, cause of strife between the Southern (the Slobs) and the Northern (the Snobs) Water Tribes. That is until Northern chief Unalaq's real agenda comes to light... |

In Going Postal, the last two Post Office employees are also room-mates. Stanley Howler and Tulliver Groat share accommodation which is divided straight down the middle with a very definite painted dividing line. It even runs down the middle of the table, save for a circular "neutral space" housing the cruet set. Stanley's half is insanely neat and ordered to the point of making an OCD sufferer look like a vagrant. Groat's half of the room... isn't. | |

Seinfeld Jerry and Newman. Jerry's a successful and well-paid comedian who's known for his fastidiousness, while Newman's a slovenly postman who's so unhygienic he actually carries fleas. Their thinly disguised contempt for one another is one of the show's trademarks. This is also the relationship that Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer have with most of the rest of society, although neither side is depicted positively at all. The slobs (Jerry and co.) are immature, irresponsible and unwilling to bend to the unwritten laws of society while the snobs (everyone else) are stuck up for following said laws, but also mature enough to generally not stir up more trouble. And both sides have only their own interests in mind. |

The Rival Katsuya and his friends, are mostly well off teens pampered by their Private Military Company Drankam, who praise them no matter how bad they mess up because they are marketable, making them arrogant. This contrasts to Street Urchin protagonist Akira who has to suffer greatly for any scrap of advancement, along with the hunter gang he slowly builds up in the slums. Despite Katsuya being handed everything, the rivalry is mainly driven by Katsuya being a Green-Eyed Monster over Akira both earning the respect of the veterans in Drankam who bully Katsuya, and the attention of the women Katsuya likes. Katsuya is proud and idealistic, chafing against the humble and cynical Unscrupulous Hero Akira. | |

Mainstream joshi was similar to their male puroresu counterparts, except All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling managed to stay around unlike the JWA and served as the middle ground between the "slobs" most concerned with being entertaining in JWP and the "snobs" most concerned with being plausible and hard in LLPW. | |

The main character of Christian Humber Reloaded, who grew up as a wolf cub and has no interests other than fighting and training, attacks a party full of "snobs" for no apparent reason, killing many people and causing trillions of dollars in damage.

Caddyshack invoked the trope as a tagline, as the movie is set in a country club (full of snobs) being annoyed by a slovenly outsider. The sequel likewise has a snobby country club being in conflict with a nouveau riche developer of low-income housing, who despises snobs and fits in right at home with his construction workers. Of interest is the man's daughter who is desperately trying to become a snob, only to realize how shallow they are at the end. |

There's an example in Fatal Hearts that is unusual for this trope because it portrays both slobs and snobs sympathetically. The werewolves are the "slobs" and the vampires are the "snobs". Here's why they're both sympathetic: The vampires constantly look down on the werewolves and/or the masses in general and sometimes treat them badly, so the werewolves have good reason to dislike them. The vampires tend to look on life from a lofty perch and they don't care who gets cast aside as collateral damage. But the vampires' behavior has a good reason behind it at least where the werewolves are concerned because while the werewolves are egalitarian with no classes, they're also excessively violent and tend to solve problems by committing murders, including the murder of a woman whose husband wasn't even a vampire yet, and if they got their way, art and education would completely disappear, since the werewolves have no personal use for it, thus making the vampires' elitism partially justified since it allows them to preserve the best of civilization. | |

Journey to Chaos: There is enmity between the Dragon's Lair and Roalt Castle along these lines; mecenaries care little for social mores or polite behavior while the coutrier's revolve around them. This shows up in numerous ways. When Blue-Collar Warlock Basilard is hired to assist the Court Mage of Ataidar with his research, the result is a shouting match. Working-class Kallen stirs a hornet's nest when she joins the Young Scepter Competition, which is filled to bursting by nobles and other high society types. |

Daily JoJo was at one point marketed as "office slob and office snob". The "slob" is Eunjo Lee, a clumsy Ridiculous Procrastinator who doesn't really care about how she looks. The "snob" is Wan Jo, the new guy and a Professional Butt-Kisser who puts painstaking effort into projecting a perfect image. Eunjo is very welcoming, but Wan is initially put off by her and takes a while to warm up to her. When the mask mandate comes around, they switch roles, as Eunjo realizes She Cleans Up Nicely with the help of the mask and Wan starts Dressing Down with Eunjo's encouragement after realizing nobody cares about how he looks. They eventually revert to their old selves and become romantically involved. | |

King River's side of the family, the Johansens, are a clan of brutish and boisterous barbarians (Slobs), while Queen Moon's side of the family, the Butterflies, are a band of foppish royals (Snobs). Needless to say, the two families don't get along much. | |

In Tyranny, the two main armed forces are the Disfavored and the Scarlet Chorus. The Disfavored are highly trained, disciplined, loyal to a fault, fearless but not reckless, battle-hardened career soldiers, drawn from family lines of those who served before; also deeply bigoted against anybody not of the same culture and known for Disproportionate Retribution against defeated enemies. The Scarlet Chorus is unsanitary and chaotic, irreverent, undisciplined, only very loosely organized, takes all comers, place little value in one another's lives, rely on an individual's natural talent for killing rather than any training, willing to go at each others' throats if they think it'll benefit them personally, and have nothing but disdain for tradition and formality. The Culture Clash as well as the fact that their respective leaders hate each other and are constantly plotting their rival's downfall kicks off the plot. | |

Sailor Moon: In Codename: Sailor V and the Sailor Moon manga, Minako's dislike for the police has sides of this, with her remarking more than once that she sees police officers as arrogant snobs and taking on normal criminals just to rub in their face how the slobbish girl in a ridiculous costume (Minako considered her Sailor V outfit as ridiculous) could do their job better than them. To underline this aspect, Minako had absolutely no problem when she found out her friend and fellow idol fan Natsuna Sakurada was the Superintendent-General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police (the single most important police officer of Japan and commander-in-chief of Tokyo's police), and in fact gave her a few pointers to avoid getting lynched by other fans. In the manga, Minako and Rei started with a mild version of this, as the blunt and tomboyish gyaru ante-litteram that is Minako and the aristocratic and feminine Yamato Nadeshiko that is Rei are so different they barely understand each other, and mistake each others' attempts at being friendly for insults. By the end of the manga, they have overcome their differences, and their relationship is implied to be a Pseudo-Romantic Friendship. |

The Good Place uses this as a contrast between Eleanor (the slob) and Tahani (the snob). Eleanor was born to a pair of Lower Class Louts who were often negligent to downright abusive and had to claw her way through life to get to a somewhat comfortable existence, which contributed to her cynical worldview. Tahani, on the other hand, was a socialite born to a rich family and while her parents were horribly abusive in their own ways by playing blatant favorites between their daughters (with Tahani being The Unfavorite), she nevertheless got to enjoy the perks of an upper-class life including being friends with multiple celebrities. The Reveal at the end of the first season shows this was even an Invoked Trope because Michael planned to have the humans torture each other for eternity while making them think they were in the eponymous heavenly afterlife and used their differing backgrounds as a starting point for making the two grate on each other. Tahani was literally set up to become Eleanor's Sitcom Archnemesis basically. | |

EverQuest and EverQuest II: The Erudites, a race of evolved humans who's society revolves around science, magic, and magic in the pursuit of science. Compared to the Erudites, any race (excluding possibly the high elves) could qualify as slobs. The Erudites share an intense racial hatred with the Kerrans, a race of ancestor-worshipping shamanistic cat people who consider the Erudites to be psychotic, soulless mutants. Although High Elves and Wood Elves generally get along fairly well, this comes to play in their relationship. High Elves think the Wood Elves lack proper elven dignity and morality, and Wood Elves think that High Elves are too haughty and self-righteous. On the evil side of things, this comes into play with most evil races. Dark elves and Arasai play the snobs and see all the other evil races as savage brutes to be manipulated or worthless sneaks. Iksar view themselves as the snobs, looking down on dark elves and arasai for being decadent and the others for being savages or sneaks. Likewise, Ratonga and Gnomes view themselves as the snobs, looking down on the others as big oafs who aren't as smart as they think they are. Ogres and Trolls, however, consider themselves the slobs and are damn proud of it. |

Help Not Wanted 2: Frigid Fornication has the rivalry between the goblin quartet and Selmeena's team of drako knights. The former consists of a small, scruffy, lewd team of goblins who don't prioritize hygiene, care little about fighting fair, and are nothing more than a few small-time contractors trying to gain some fame and money. Meanwhile, Selmeena and her crew are all haughty drakos who see goblins as being inferior and constantly talk down to them. All of them are prominent heroic figures within the Drako Federation, they're well-groomed, wear armor, and fight with broadswords and claymores. | |

Big City Greens: The majority of the series has the country-born Green family (slobs) competing against Chip Whistler and Wholesome Foods (snobs). In one episode where the Greens go to a seafood diner, Bill (slob) encounters a waiter (snob) who takes advantage of him, treating him like he doesn't belong. In another episode, Tilly (slob) tries to sit at a table with a popular girl (snob). |

A very mild version plays out between Peter Wingfield and Roger Trembling in Fred, Alice and Aunty Lou from the Break of Dark anthology. Wingfield is unkempt, scruffily dressed, a chronic smoker, and lives in a dilapidated old house full of mouldering antiques and dying pot plants, which Trembling refers to as "The Haunted Mansion." Roger lives in an ultra-modern villa with Modernist furnishings and chrome kitchen fittings, works for a computer company, and plays squash every week. Peter refers to his house as "Mission Control." | |

The season 3 finale had the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — sentient reptiles who live in the sewers, eat pizza, and speak in Totally Radical slang — face off against Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaelo Sanzio da Urbino, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Donatello di Niccolò — world-famous Renaissance artists, scientists, and mathematicians who brushed shoulders with the Italian upper-class (Raffaelo in particular brags about being friends with the Pope.) | |

Played with multiple times over the course of Annie (2014). Stacks starts out the movie a germaphobe, disgusted with the people he's trying to make nice with because he's running for mayor. He is so germaphobic he doesn't just use hand sanitizer, he squirts it into his mouth. He also has no game face of any sort, so when he tries the mashed potatoes he's feeding the homeless, he ends up spewing them in disgust all over the people lined up. They look at him in disgust for doing it. Lou, the bodega owner, allows Annie to "work" for him in exchange for favors and merchandise. But the work he has her doing involves wiping out the real expiration dates on milk and juice and putting in fake ones that are further out. Lou also puts to rest the "poor people are dumb" idea many wealthy people have. He may not have book smarts, but not much gets past him. Hannigan spends the majority of the movie protesting that she deserves better than her present lot, and treats her foster girls like maids. The woman who works in social services is disgusted by Annie, and won't even touch her hair tie full of money to pay for her background check. At the Guggenheim museum event, it's a formal black-tie event. In the center of it is Annie, wearing an amazing red dress, and eating/playing with her food in the way you might expect a ten-year-old child to do when bored at such a to-do. The foster parent inspector seems nonplussed by Hannigan's flirtation. Guy, on the other hand, seems offended at having to come into Harlem at all to talk to her and is so disgusted by Hannigan that he literally blocks her from trying to kiss him when they make their deal. |

The Witch of Knightcharm: This dynamic quickly takes hold in the new class of the evil Wizarding School which the protagonist Emily finds herself in. The slobs are represented by Alejandra and Julia Medina, two necromancer twins who never had any money or family besides each other and who dress in rags, and the snobs are represented by the extremely rich (and well-dressed) Lily and her clique of witches. Lily and the Medinas despise each other, as they make clear very early on. | |

Subverted on Trailer Park Boys in that most of the protagonists and antagonists were all residents of the same trailer park, or at least closely connected to it. People with more education and income were usually either impartial observers, such as the documentary film crew, or victims of the main characters' criminal schemes. | |

Crashbox inverts the traditional dichotomy during the "Revolting Slob" segments. The titular slob is a very ugly man with no hygienic or social skills whatsoever. Meanwhile, the off-screen narrator is the voice of reason, calling out the slob for his bad behavior while teaching viewers vocabulary words to describe his daily routine. | |

Freshy Kanal: "Hannibal Lecter vs. Leatherface" has the Wicked Cultured Hannibal Lecter rapping against the hillbilly Leatherface, with both backgrounds reflected in their lines and being used as disses. "Bakugo vs. Inosuke" does this as well: Bakugo mocks Inosuke as an unrefined freak with poor social skills as a result of his upbringing in the wild, while Inosuke claims that Bakugo's pampered lifestyle has caused him to drastically overestimate himself to everyone else's detriment, on top of just making him an obnoxious Jerkass who only cares about the publicity that comes with being a hero. "Edgar Wright vs. Wes Anderson" has Wright dismiss Anderson as a "hipster freak" whose movies are pseudo-intellectual pander-fests, while Anderson lambastes Wright's films as so mind-numbingly formulaic and simplistic that his fans could easily be mistaken for zombies. "Boris Johnson vs. The Penguin" casts the former as an Upper-Class Twit with Delusions of Eloquence and the latter as a brash Cockney thug who wears a disheveled suit and Hates Rich People. |

Subverted on Starsky & Hutch. The clash between Hutch's well-educated, sophisticated, refined, intellectual tastes and opinions and Starsky's uneducated, unsophisticated, lower-class, rougher ones is a longstanding running argument between them. Also, Starsky generally wears faded, skimpy jeans and a tattered brown leather jacket ancient enough to have been around since World War II, while Hutch usually looks like he just stepped off the cover of GQ. However, Starsky keeps a scrupulously clean apartment and a sleek, meticulously well-maintained car; while Hutch's apartment is in a state of perpetual untidiness and he drives a dilapidated, hideous old junker whose backseat is always crammed with a huge amount of trash, ranging from empty yogurt cups to random giant wooden wheels, which Starsky frequently bemoans. | |

It also follows into the sequel, though in this case, the snobs had to work with the slobs. It also portrays the slobs as tougher than the snobs, considering Tequila whooped Eggsy and Merlin's butt handily, and it took Eggsy and Harry to bring down Whiskey in the final battle. | |

His neighbor Floris Jan van Fleppensteyn is a rich snob who associates himself with the high society. Their contrasting ways of life is a frequent source of (mostly violent) conflict between the two. | |

The Menu is set in an exclusive restaurant where the chef is having a meltdown. The class difference between the staff and the customers comes up a couple of times: One of the first signs that things are going wrong is when Chef Slowik gives a speech about the history of bread, and finishes by saying "Bread is the food of the working man. You aren't getting any bread." Slowik realises that Margot works in a service industry, and urges her to join his side — to be a "giver," and not a "taker." |

Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs: This is the form of most conflicts in the franchise, with pretty, spoiled, haughty, and often bullying nobles being broken down by the foul mouthed lower class Jerk with a Heart of Gold protagonist Leon and whatever Ragtag Bunch of Misfits friends he can scrounge up. This applies, from the petty conflicts, up to multiple climactic Big Badass Battle Sequence. | |

Epic Rap Battles of History has this as a recurring theme: Benjamin Franklin boasts of being wealthy and "an educated gentleman" while denigrating Billy Mays as an annoying loudmouth who makes kitschy commercials. George Washington brags about his upscale clothes and ballroom dancing skills, and is described by his opponent as a "powdered prick" in a "little blousy outfit." Said opponent, William Wallace is portrayed as a violent, foul-mouthed revolutionary. In real life, however, this was the opposite: Washington was known among his fellow Founding Fathers as a pretty rough-and-tumble guy, while the real William Wallace was a wealthy nobleman. The season 3 finale had the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — sentient reptiles who live in the sewers, eat pizza, and speak in Totally Radical slang — face off against Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaelo Sanzio da Urbino, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Donatello di Niccolò — world-famous Renaissance artists, scientists, and mathematicians who brushed shoulders with the Italian upper-class (Raffaelo in particular brags about being friends with the Pope.) Bonnie and Clyde, notorious gangsters from the American south, once faced off against Romeo and Juliet, Shakespearean lovebirds who hail from aristocratic families. Jack the Ripper describes himself as "an infamous, notorious delinquent" while his opponent dismisses him as a thug "covered in more piss than kitty litter." Said opponent is none other than Hannibal Lecter, the Trope Codifier for Wicked Cultured who described himself as "the bon vivant of violence, a licensed psychiatrist who dines on highest society to the sound of violins". Steven Spielberg and Alfred Hitchcock each see themselves as snobs and each other as slobs, which is similarly true of Quentin Tarantino and Stanley Kubrick. Meanwhile, Michael Bay makes no bones about being a slob and dismisses the rest as snobs. Shaka Zulu, "a brute with no discipline", versus Julius Caesar, the guy at the head of the world's greatest empire. Season 5 opened with the raunchy, vulgar George R. R. Martin versus the more uptight and nerdy J. R. R. Tolkien, with his tweed jacket and Distinguished Gentleman's Pipe. Charles Darwin versus Ash Ketchum has this vibe as well: Ash's adventures have left him unimpressed by Darwin's intellectual work, while Darwin boasts of his teachings breaking scientific and cultural ground while dismissing Ash as an unrefined idiot. "Theodore Roosevelt versus Winston Churchill" plays with the trope. Both participants are well-dressed and as well-spoken as a rap battle will allow, on top of both being respected and well-educated world leaders from wealthy, connected families; that said, since Churchill openly admits to being a chain-smoker and apparently came to the battle drunk, he comes off looking like less of a snob than Roosevelt, who boasts about his physical fitness and military experience. Amusingly, this makes a rare instance of the American cowpoke being the snob while the Quintessential British Gentleman is the slob, when it would usually be the other way around. Jacques Cousteau, a pipe-smoking ship captain, inventor, and award-winning documentarian, battled Steve Irwin, a "chunky" television host and self-proclaimed wild man who's not afraid to get his hands dirty tussling with the very animals he features on his show. Vlad the Impaler boasts about his cruelty and the terror he invokes in people and regards his opponent as a pathetic effeminate weakling. His opponent, Dracula, emphasizes his subtle, sexy method of killing and elegant looks and manner against Vlad's excessive bloodshed. |

Oancitizen plays a pretentious snob who is looked down on for being so pretentious and in return, looks down on the other critics for not understanding True Art when they see it.

This is the biggest source of conflict in Drowtales. The Sharen and several other established clans see their bloodlines as inherently superior to everyone else's, especially lowly upstart commoners like the Sarghress, and believe all should naturally serve under them as a matter of "destiny". The Sarghress believe everyone should have the chance to prove themselves and are willing to fight and kill to prove this. The Sloppy Vloz'Ress believe in the promotion of demonic summoning research in hopes of achieving ascension, while the Snobby Kyorls would like to kill all the slobby Vloz'ress screwing it up in public so they can be the sole practitioners of the science in secure testing facilities. Having a goddess who resorted to demonic rituals really screwed their society up. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Applejack and Rarity had a feud like this that lasted most of the episode "Look Before You Sleep", though the two are still somewhat at odds with one another. This comes back in a later episode, "Simple Ways" where Rarity wants to be a slob to impress a guy who falls for Applejack's unrefined charm. Applejack in turn acts like a snob to try and snap her out of it. note Interestingly, other episodes establish that Applejack's family are significant landowners and town founders, while Rarity's parents are briefly shown (in "Sisterhooves Social") to be much more down-to-earth than their daughter (they don't have her accent, either). Apparently, the Apples are comfortable enough in their position that they don't see the need to give themselves airs, while Rarity is affecting what she considers to be an upper-class manner. The Ponyvillians in general when contrasted with the Canterlot elite. The Canterlot Elite are usually presented as stuck-up jerks with no redeeming features contrasting our Fish out of Water heroes who are well-meaning. Ironically, they also embody the destructive aspects too, as while the Canterlot elite might make you feel bad or unwelcome, the Ponyvillians have completely trashed two major national events. |

Underworld (2003): the vampires all wear stylish, clean black suits and gorgeous sexy cocktail dresses when at leisure, and leather trenchcoats when hunting werewolves. Their hair is always flat and oily, curls are always cosmetic, neat, and hang down. Werewolves, on the other hand, are always in grungy brown leather, shirts that look like they haven't been washed in months, and have hair that generally defies combs to come near. | |

The American Wolves as well as the Wolves' two offshoots Team Ambition and Dojo Bros, had this sort of rivalry with The Briscoe Brothers in Ring of Honor. Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, and Kyle O'Reilly all had MMA training with people like Dan Severn and wrestled in MMA gear. The Briscoes, being chicken farming, dog breeding emu rearers with a love for beer, cigarettes, and firearms, well they didn't exactly appreciate that "serious MMA shit". Roderick Strong and Adam Cole were guilty by association. | |

In Safehold, the rivalry between Dohlarans and Desnairans is partly built on this. Dohlarans mock Desnairans for being posh, full of self-righteousness, and completely out of contact with the real world (Snobs), while Desnairans think of Dohlarans as their poor, unfashionable cousins (Slobs). | |

Demolition Man: The slobs (led by Edgar Friendly) vs. snobs (enslaved by Dr. Cocteau.) While the title Demolition Man identifies more with the slobs, he tells them "you are going to get a lot more clean" as opposed to telling the snobs "you're going to get a little dirty". Of course, the "slobs" were forced to live in the sewers upon refusing to conform to Cocteau's immensely restricting mandates, and the bulk of their possessions come from what they manage to scavenge or steal, so they don't really have the ability to live a clean lifestyle. | |

South Park: They have this a fair bit. Interestingly, they are not afraid to depict the "slobs" in a negative light too, showing them as being just as capable of small-minded bigotry and terrible judgement. The episode "Chickenpox" has Kyle's dad be insensitive to the plight of the poor and ends up getting his ass handed to him by Kenny's dad. However, Kenny's dad is depicted as a small-minded, abusive drunk. |

Ford V Ferrari. Ford is an American industry giant that churns out millions of consumer vehicles for the mass market out of a grimy, utilitarian factory that only twenty years earlier was cranking out the military hardware that won World War II. Ferrari is a prestigious Italian manufacturer that builds fast, pretty, and luxurious cars for discerning wealthy customers out of a repurposed barn where artisan engineers make every component by hand. Their battleground is Le Mans 1966, and Ferrari has won the last five meetings consecutively, 1960 to 1965. Enter Carroll Shelby, a Southern-Fried Genius who has been hired by Henry Ford II to design a car that will go to Le Mans and feed the pompous Italians some humble pie. | |

Erfworld features a war between the ideals of Royalty and Toolism. The Royals are "descended" from the original units that the Titans left in charge. They go to great lengths to enforce their perceived superiority and tend to gang up on any non-royal that gains too much power. Stanely, meanwhile, believes that the Titanic Mandate has been transferred to those attuned to a set of artifacts called the Arkentools, and is set to destroy any side that refuses to acknowledge this. | |

True Blood plays with this trope in later seasons: In season 2, Mary Ann Forrester and her dirt-eating revelers are often positioned in direct contrast with the more "refined" vampires, particularly with Queen Sophie Ann. Season 3 appears to be going for the full-on war: Sam's birth family is portrayed as "trashy", sitting around shirtless drinking beer in the middle of the day. Promos show the Were community as Badass Bikers, contrasted with the King of Mississippi's "equestrian toffs" aesthetic. |

One of the subplots has Simon trying to adjust to living with the "slobs" and especially his conflict with barbaric and uneducated Jayne.

Babylon 5: The cultured, decadent, and brutal Centauri are snobs, the uncultured, crude, and brutal Narn are slobs. The Narn are collectively more sympathetic for most of the series since they get kicked more (and usually by the Centauri), but the Narn are only sympathetic as underdogs, and are more than happy to punt puppies through windows when they think they can get away with it. Among the Minbari, the Religious Caste are always snobs, the Worker Caste are always slobs, and the Warrior Caste are seen as slobs by the Religious Caste and the position of the Worker Caste is unknown because they never show its POV. |

WKRP in Cincinnati began to set this up in the early episodes, describing it as "the suits vs the dungarees". The idea was that Herb Tarlek, Mr Carlson and Les Nessman(the three businessman) would be at constant odds with the more laid-back members of the staff. However it was rather quickly dropped in favor of the ensemble cast working together rather than against each other. | |

Babylon (2022): Jack's dialogue with his third onscreen wife Estelle is primarily about how she (an esteemed Broadway actress) finds his silent film acting populist and lowbrow, and the film circles he runs in debauched and uncouth. Near the end of their marriage, Jack retorts that film's populism means it has value, as it brings joy to exponentially more people than the stage does. | |
