Ugly Betty (2006–2010) is an ABC Dramedy and an Americanized version of the Colombian Soap Opera Yo soy Betty, la fea, which already had dozens of versions around the world.Betty Suarez (America Ferrera) is a sweet but dowdy young woman from Queens, who hopes to one day run her own magazine. Despite her lack of experience, and her appalling fashion sense, Betty ends up hired at the high-end fashion magazine MODE, as the personal assistant to the editor-in-chief Daniel Meade (Eric Mabius). However, it's quickly revealed that Betty was only hired for her lack of sex appeal, so the infamous womanizer Daniel wouldn't be tempted to sleep with her. Unable to fire Betty, Daniel instead tries to humiliate her so that she'll quit on her own terms, leaving him free to hire a personal assistant of his own choosing.Daniel realizes he's gone too far when a devastated Betty does quit, especially on realizing how hard she worked during her short time with him, and ends up begging for her to return. Betty accepts, and the two form a close working relationship, and eventual friendship.Ugly Betty differs greatly from Yo soy Betty, la fea in that the show doesn't revolve around Betty pining after her boss and ultimately winning his love after much Will They or Won't They? drama. Instead Betty ends up entangled in the office politics involving the entire Meade family, along with facing off against Wilhelmina Slater (Vanessa Williams), who intends on taking over MODE magazine, no matter what it takes. Along the way, Betty learns to stand up against those who judge her for her dowdy looks, and how to balance her career with her family, to whom she is incredibly close to.More importantly, Betty learns how to be proud of who she is, and it shows in that her string of lovers end up dating her because they love that she's so true to herself.The show splits its time between Slapstick, fashion industry satire, occasional Deadpan Snarking, Soap Opera plots (kinda-sorta parodied) and Anvilicious Aesops about self-esteem and whatever other issues the writers want to make points about.

Daydream Surprise

comment
Daydream Surprise: When Wilhelmina is privately meeting with Connor and he offers her a drink, she daydreams that he then starts kissing her, jolting back to reality when he asks why she's staring into space. Happens twice in one scene when Betty imagines asking Bobby out, and then pushing him against a car and ripping open his shirt. Both times it's revealed to be a daydream and she asks him something much more tame.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Ugly Betty / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: As Christina goes into labor in the middle of a fashion runway, Wilhelmina orders the models, who are wearing very angel-inspired costumes, to surround her and raise their wings for privacy. When the Clean, Pretty Childbirth is over minutes later, Wilhelmina holds her infant son aloft to triumphant music as she's raised on a hydraulic platform and lights focus on her. Invoking the Madonna Archetype much?

Inexplicably Identical Individuals: In one of the "Mode After Hours" extras, Marc and Amanda call the MODE UK offices, where they talk to Clark and Samantha (Michael Urie and Becki Newton in different clothes and with British Teeth), who have identical personalities. When they send each other photos, both pairs recoil in horror at their "hideous" counterparts.

Title Drop: First done in one of the Lindsay Lohan episodes where Kimmie calls her "Ugly Betty".

The Main Characters Do Everything: When Wilhelmina uses a computer virus to sabotage Mode after being fired, for some reason, the person that identified the problem and called Daniel and Alexis was Henry, an accountant. This was partially justified by him being one of the only people present in the building, as the accountants had a deadline they needed to meet, but it still doesn't explain the lack of any IT people.

Cast as a Mask: Rebecca Romijn as Alexis Meade from the beginning, but the character did not debut as such until halfway through the first season, and was played by Elizabeth Penn Payne until then. This was mostly done as a Red Herring, as the audience was initially meant to believe she was actually the recently deceased Fey Sommers.

Fashion Hurts: In'"The Icing on the Cake," Amanda receives a skin-tight rubber "dress" that is unexpectedly uncomfortable (She thinks is from a famous designer, but it's just a prank from a model Amanda was a bitch to). She spends most of the episode wearing it, being barely able to move. In the same episode, during Wilhelmina's wedding, Marc gets his average boyfriend Cliff to dress up fashionably for the occasion, which results on him complaining about how he could barely breathe. Daniel loans Molly a designer outfit in one episode, after he spills food on her original clothes.

While the obvious elephant in the room is "Why the hell don't they just fire Wilhemina?" after everything she does to screw them over, it's repeatedly justified over the course of the series. Wilhelmina is very good at her job and has great publicity, so the magazine can't justify jettisoning her outright for fear of bad press, particularly with all the Meade family drama and Daniel's initial incompetence threatening to send the company under. She was briefly fired after Bradford's death, but the baby scheme forced them to rehire her and receive a 50% share of the company, though she was often overpowered by Daniel, Alexis and Claire. When it was found out the baby wasn't hers and Bradford's and Connor embezzled the Meade's finances, she only was saved from being thrown out the door because Cal Hartley demanded that she kept her position before he'd invest. Still, Daniel has no excuse for repeatedly listening to her right through to the end of the series;

Shared Family Quirks: Amanda is searching for her father and Marc notices she and Bradford both have similar mannerisms. Subverted when a DNA test proves he's not her father, and none of the mannerisms are ever shown again from either of them.

Freshman Fears: In Season 4, Justin deals with the challenges of public high school after failing to get into his dream private school. His biggest problem is homophobic bullying, though he doesn't actually come out until well into the season. Marc, who also went to a public high school, takes Justin under his wing and teaches him how to laugh off the bullies' taunts and make friends with the cheerleaders.

Character Development: All the main players. Even the people who don't like Betty end up respecting her by the end of the series. Amanda is more-or-less the same self-centered, somewhat cruel ditz she was at the beginning, but she goes from despising Betty to having the biggest girlcrush imaginable on her.

Important Haircut: In season 4, Betty is getting ready to remove her braces, styles her hair slightly nicer, and stops wearing clothes in a rainbow of clashing colors. Throughout the season her outfits start to get more coordinated and her hair becomes more and more stylish, to the point that Wilhelmina develops a stress ulcer after complimenting her outfit. By the final episodes, Betty is a star at the office, and everybody seems to be in love with her makeover.

Then, when thinks she's finally found a man who loves her and doesn't care if she's trans, he turns out to be hired by Bradford to get her to move to Brazil.

Early-Installment Weirdness: The first few episodes featured a much moodier Betty than the somewhat excitable but decidedly optimistic individual most viewers would recognize her as. Also, her voice in those first few episodes sounds noticeably hoarser and somewhat affected compared to the naturally high-pitched tone Ferrera uses after that point. Just think of her sweetly shrill "Daniel!" and compare it to anything she says in the first few episodes.

comment
It's a Wonderful Plot: A season four episode has Betty imagining a world where she never needed braces, which leads her to become Wilhelmina's assistant. In this world, Daniel is married to Amanda but sleeping with another woman and more of a selfish jerk. At first, it looks like Ignacio is doing well until it turns out he's heavily in debt to gambling. Not only is Hilda (neglected being in Betty's shadow) a frumpy woman about to marry a loser dentist but because she was never popular in high school, Justin doesn't exist. Betty realizes she herself is a terrible woman influenced by Wilhelmina.

White-and-Grey Morality

White-and-Grey Morality: While things started out very clean-cut good and bad, the main villainous characters were just too appealing to stay flat. The turning point was probably the fourth episode "Fey's Sleigh Ride", which featured all the good and bad characters working together, and is highly regarded as one of the best episodes. Fully evil villains were a rarity even for antagonists outside the main cast.

Can't Get Away with Nuthin'
 Ugly Betty / int_5f6c6cc1
comment
Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Betty once ignored a call from her sister due to a work obligation. Naturally, this call was to tell her their father was in the hospital so everybody could guilt-trip Betty for putting her job ahead of her family (which she otherwise almost never does). Happens again while Betty is struggling to balance being an intern at YETI and dealing with work problems, her family constantly nag at her for not helping with her sister's launch party for her salon. Betty always helps every other time, and even sends Christina in her place when she can't spare the time, but that still isn't good enough for them.

 Ugly Betty / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: Basically the writers dumped the angle of Betty being instantly in love with Daniel and supplementing her crush with her office work, in favor of Betty realizing that Daniel wasn't totally worthless and becoming the little sister he never had. She became someone who didn't take his crap, and pushed him to prove everyone who looked down on him wrong. She gave him the positive (non-romantic) re-enforcement that he never had growing up when he did good, or had to do something he didn't want to do for the sake of proving himself a good person. As such, when the writers finally did go down the romance angle with the two, it was Daniel who was secretly in love with Betty and Betty being unaware of it.

Betty talks her out of it, and bluffs their way out of paying for the bill by telling the manager they're reviewing the restaurant for MODE (which is true, in a way).

Ship Sinking / Writer Revolt: Failed. Word of God first stated that Daniel and Betty would never get together, causing the hardcore Detty shippers to stop watching the show. However, that was soon recanted to a Shrug of God. When the show was canceled, it ended with Daniel clearly in love with Betty, with Betty's feelings unclear but not averse to the idea. After which the show creator admitted that they were the core of the show, whether as friends or lovers, and neglecting their relationship had been part of the show's downfall. Cue the cries of "I TOLD YOU SO!" from the vindicated but still unsatisfied shippers.

Coming-Out Story: In "I'm Coming Out", Alexis reveals that not only is she alive, she's a transgender woman. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" has Marc's mom Jean visiting him, who doesn't know he's gay and he has Betty pretend to be his girlfriend and they make dinner plans with Betty’s family. When she makes some scathing comments about Justin's Camp behaviour Marc gets defensive and confronts her by confessing. In "Backseat Betty", Justin is voted homecoming queen and manages to laugh it off. His family acts as if he just came out, and Justin definitively states that he's not gay. No one believes it, but Marc respects his wishes. In, "The Past Presents the Future" he does come out. Also subverted in "Fire and Nice." Twice, Marc assumes that Justin is about to come out to him and leads him in the right direction, but Justin doesn't act in the way expected.

Idiot Ball: While the obvious elephant in the room is "Why the hell don't they just fire Wilhemina?" after everything she does to screw them over, it's repeatedly justified over the course of the series. Wilhelmina is very good at her job and has great publicity, so the magazine can't justify jettisoning her outright for fear of bad press, particularly with all the Meade family drama and Daniel's initial incompetence threatening to send the company under. She was briefly fired after Bradford's death, but the baby scheme forced them to rehire her and receive a 50% share of the company, though she was often overpowered by Daniel, Alexis and Claire. When it was found out the baby wasn't hers and Bradford's and Connor embezzled the Meade's finances, she only was saved from being thrown out the door because Cal Hartley demanded that she kept her position before he'd invest. Still, Daniel has no excuse for repeatedly listening to her right through to the end of the series; Daniel not realizing just why he's lucky to have Betty as his Hyper-Competent Sidekick. She's probably one of the reasons the company wasn't run into the ground a long time ago. In fact, on several occasions when she leaves for even a few weeks, Daniel nearly destroys the company with his poor management. Making Kimmie Keegan into an Executive Editor after 3 weeks on the job, for doing one photoshoot that was reasonably successful. It's official, the people running Meade Publications are functionally insane!

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Practically everyone! It occasionally gets the point where you seriously begin to wonder if anyone in charge actually remembers that they're supposed to be running a million-dollar company! Funnily enough, the one time Marc did not do this and was actually being sincere was during his short stint as Daniel's assistant, Daniel immediately suspected him of trying to ruin his life due to his disbelief that Marc could be so incompetent after having worked for Wilhelimna; turns out all of Marc's "mistakes" were indeed intentional, but he made them in order to help Daniel lose some weight and get better deals with the advertisers, not to harm him.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Sofia Reyes is in the same building as the Mode offices for (as far as we know) the rest of the series, but is never seen or mentioned again. Not even when plot developments would indicate some mention (Claire taking control of Meade Publications, and again when they're deciding which of the magazines to cut.) This is especially strange since her actress, Salma Hayek, is one of the producers and would've been available to reprise her role.

 Ugly Betty / int_94e4c8ab
comment
Betty and Veronica: Funnily enough, Betty is actually the Archie. In the first season, Betty is torn between her old boring boyfriend Walter (Betty) and sweet, charming Henry (a mild Veronica). In season 2, Henry undergoes a Betty and Veronica Switch to become the boring Betty to Gio's exciting Veronica. A gay example, in "A League of Their Own": Marc St James meets Cliff who he clicks with but asks a nameless (very hunky but dumb) model out instead, before being confronted by Cliff who was trying to ask him out. In season 4, Hilda is with her nice, normal, kinda boring boyfriend Archie, when her old flame Bobby comes back into her life.

Only Sane Employee: It's obvious that Betty and Christina are the only people in Meade Publications who are actually concerned with doing their damn job. Everyone else... not so much. Less noticeable in later seasons, as Marc, Daniel, and Wilhelmina become more responsible and focused on the magazine's success (though they're still always sniping and jockeying for power with each other).

Naked People Are Funny: Amanda's Shameless Fanservice Girl antics are often played for humor. In "Petra-Gate", Amanda, thinking Tavares is gay, starts stripping in front of him (We only see her Toplessness from the Back or Shoulders-Up Nudity) to try on some clothes. We find out he isn't gay when he starts Eating the Eye Candy. In "Betty's Wait Problem", when trying to get attention at a red carpet even, Marc decides to help Amanda as she runs towards the reporters by stepping on the hem of her dress, tearing it away until she’s totally in the buff in public. At first she has a Naked Freak-Out, but then the photographers turn toward her and start snapping away, and she basks in the limelight of the camera flashes. In "Crush'd", Betty is shocked to find Amanda completely nude at Mode early in the morning and immediately asks her to Please Put Some Clothes On.

The contrast becomes even more pronounced when the Suarezes go to Mexico and the scenes there are given the yellow tint that all American media set in Mexico gets.

In "The Bahamas Triangle", when Betty catches Wilhelmina topless at the resort she's only shown from the back or from the shoulders up.

comment
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" has Marc's mom Jean visiting him, who doesn't know he's gay and he has Betty pretend to be his girlfriend and they make dinner plans with Betty’s family. When she makes some scathing comments about Justin's Camp behaviour Marc gets defensive and confronts her by confessing.

Expy Coexistence: Fey Sommers of Mode is clearly based on Anna Wintour of Vogue (even their names pun: summer/winter), but later episodes mention Wintour as a separate person.

Flanderization
 Ugly Betty / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: In a rare inversion of this trope, Betty starts out as an uber-tacky Fish out of Water and Rummage Sale Reject, Marc and Amanda are super-shallow, mean and ditzy. Daniel a sex-obsessed and rather dim example of nepotism, and Wilhelmina a comical and bitchy snake who throws hissy fits when things don't go her way. All of these characters gradually develop away from these extremes as the show goes on. Played straight with Justin however as he just gets more and more campy.

 Ugly Betty / int_e90f5682
comment
But Not Too Gay: Marc never got to kiss any of his love interests (and yet he did kiss both Betty and Amanda for comedic reasons.) However, they were able to show a groundbreaking kiss between the 15-year-old Justin and Austin, since the show had already been canceled by that point so there wasn't much risk.

After Santos was shot in the first season finale, it was kept ambiguous for the first episode of season 2 whether he survived or not. It was eventually revealed that Hilda's conversations with him were All Just a Dream.

Stripping Snag: In "Betty's Wait Problem", Marc helps Amanda get the media's attention a red-carpet event by deliberately (and somewhat apologetically) stepping on the hem of her dress, which caused her dress to be ripped off leaving her naked in front of a crowd of photographers. She's momentarily embarrassed, but soon gets over it as the flashbulbs start popping and begins posing and enjoying the attention.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Bobby can be seen as this for Santos. Both were former small-time criminals who reformed, dated Hilda several years previously and ended up getting her pregnant. It's no surprise that Ignacio utterly loathed them both when they came back into Hilda's life.

Beauty Is Bad
 Ugly Betty / int_f829585a
comment
Beauty Is Bad: In the fourth season, Betty dreams about an alternate universe in which she never had braces (and also got laser eye surgery, so no glasses). Being pretty, and therefore popular, meant she never learned the humility and compassion her "ugly" self did, and ended up being a bit of a grown-up Alpha Bitch.
