my name is Grace Martinez, and for my humanities class,
- 00:06 - 00:12
I will be doing the nerd stereotype and television.
- 00:13 - 00:16
Um to begin with,
- 00:16 - 00:19
we are going to move on to kind of like the character of
- 00:19 - 00:23
the nerd I picked er goal is kind of like an example,
- 00:23 - 00:33
not as a character, but as an example of what the nerd stereotype is.
- 00:33 - 00:36
The nerd stereotype is kind of like the geeky friend who
- 00:36 - 00:42
knows everything and is always problem solving everything and is always um
- 00:44 - 00:46
you know, there for the group and
- 00:47 - 00:50
kind of the brains of the group, they don't have the charisma,
- 00:50 - 00:56
the other friends have, they don't have the, you know, jock type background,
- 00:56 - 00:58
the other ones do,
- 00:58 - 01:01
they're just the brains and they figure out
- 01:01 - 01:04
all the issues that everyone else is having
- 01:05 - 01:11
and that's their only personality that portrayed in shows,
- 01:11 - 01:15
but that's not always going to be the case with these other characters.
- 01:20 - 01:22
Uh my first character I'm going to be
- 01:22 - 01:27
speaking about is Spencer Reid from criminal minds.
- 01:27 - 01:35
He is kind of like the stereotypical nerd where he solves the issue right off the bat,
- 01:35 - 01:37
but throughout the show,
- 01:37 - 01:40
you kind of notice that he blurts out random
- 01:40 - 01:45
facts about whatever is going on during their case and
- 01:45 - 01:48
sometimes he catches it and apologizes for it,
- 01:48 - 01:53
or sometimes his teammates catches catch it and kind of make fun of him for it.
- 01:53 - 01:59
He has an episode where he's not as athletic as his teammates,
- 01:59 - 02:04
so one of his teammates, make fun of him and make him do a test to, you know,
- 02:04 - 02:05
just play a prank on him,
- 02:05 - 02:07
a physical test to play a prank on him
- 02:07 - 02:10
because he's not as physical as the other teammates.
- 02:10 - 02:15
And in the end it's not for real, they're just playing around with him
- 02:15 - 02:19
to freak him out, thinking making him think he's gonna end up
- 02:19 - 02:24
end up getting fired from the team, which obviously doesn't end up happening.
- 02:25 - 02:26
Spencer Reid
- 02:27 - 02:32
has incredible, incredible photogenic memory.
- 02:32 - 02:36
So it helps them a lot during the cases.
- 02:37 - 02:42
Uh and a lot of the time with the nerd stereotype,
- 02:42 - 02:47
that's a common type thing where the nerd remembers everything and
- 02:47 - 02:50
it's kind of like the Sherlock Holmes of the group.
- 02:55 - 03:00
My next character is Freddie Benson from Icarly.
- 03:00 - 03:03
He's the nerd tech friend,
- 03:03 - 03:10
he's he works on the like behind the behind the scenes techie things of the show.
- 03:10 - 03:14
He works with the cameras, he does the audio, he does the special effects,
- 03:14 - 03:15
he works with greens, greens,
- 03:15 - 03:19
he does all the editing for the girls for the show
- 03:19 - 03:22
and he kind of takes care of that for them.
- 03:23 - 03:30
He they do point out a lot that he's the nerd and that he is nothing else but the nerd.
- 03:30 - 03:33
He that's his only personality and that's it.
- 03:33 - 03:37
Uh with a lot of these characters that's kind of what they do.
- 03:38 - 03:44
But we as an audience see more than that when watching these shows,
- 03:44 - 03:47
but with Freddie they do play a lot on that.
- 03:47 - 03:51
He's a nerd and that's it and that's the only personality trait.
- 03:53 - 03:54
Um
- 03:59 - 04:06
My next character is velma Binkley, she's from Scooby doo.
- 04:06 - 04:07
Uh
- 04:08 - 04:15
She kinda dresses the way you think a nerd would dress covered in clothing,
- 04:15 - 04:17
head to toe with the turtleneck.
- 04:17 - 04:22
Where's the glasses? Has a nasal kind of voice. The way
- 04:23 - 04:27
people think nerds would have
- 04:28 - 04:33
very hardcore on solving the issue of finding all the clues,
- 04:33 - 04:36
solving all the problems and truly is the brains
- 04:36 - 04:41
of the group and the show really circles around that
- 04:41 - 04:43
even in the remake movies,
- 04:44 - 04:47
they they do that often.
- 04:49 - 04:52
Velma does kind of get fed up with that a few
- 04:52 - 04:56
times and does point out that she's more than that.
- 04:56 - 04:57
So
- 04:57 - 05:00
her teammates do
- 05:00 - 05:03
put more credit on her name and
- 05:05 - 05:08
what's the word? They kind of
- 05:09 - 05:12
value her more after she points that out.
- 05:17 - 05:24
My next character is Dwight schrute from the office, he's a beet farmer,
- 05:24 - 05:27
he works and a paper making company.
- 05:27 - 05:32
He loves to compete with his fellow coworkers.
- 05:32 - 05:36
He wants to be number one, he wants to be the boss,
- 05:36 - 05:39
he wants to kind of rule the world type thing.
- 05:39 - 05:43
And he talks a lot about paper, he talks a lot about
- 05:43 - 05:48
his beat farm were bears or his video games and he had
- 05:48 - 05:54
a lot of knowledge that he does share on the show and
- 05:55 - 06:02
he does get bullied a bit for it from his co worker, Jim who plays a lot of pranks on him.
- 06:02 - 06:11
Uh Dwight as you see is also wearing the glasses, the way a lot of nerds do. Uh
- 06:12 - 06:17
because television pictures, nerds a certain way, which is with the glasses,
- 06:17 - 06:21
a turtle, like uh they're covered head to toe in clothing,
- 06:21 - 06:25
or they have a boring hairstyle and whatever,
- 06:26 - 06:28
but Dwight
- 06:29 - 06:34
has that typical kind of nerd style to him, but he also adds to it
- 06:35 - 06:40
as the show goes on, he's not just a nerd, but he's also, you know,
- 06:40 - 06:48
a beet farmer who has like a kind of a bed and breakfast type thing at his farm,
- 06:48 - 06:54
and he has a lot of charisma and he is very
- 06:54 - 06:58
hilarious on the show and he brings a lot of fun
- 06:58 - 07:03
to the show and he's kind of lighthearted and yes,
- 07:03 - 07:09
he's serious at times, but he is, to me what makes the show enjoyable to watch.
- 07:12 - 07:20
My last character for the nerd evaluation stereotype is uh Sheldon cooper,
- 07:20 - 07:26
I he's from The Big Bang Theory, I didn't watch the show as much as I should have,
- 07:26 - 07:29
my parents watched the show my brother did and
- 07:29 - 07:31
I kind of just watched it in the background,
- 07:31 - 07:36
but what I picked up from it is that Sheldon not like being wrong, he was always right,
- 07:36 - 07:41
he worked, I think with Nasa about astrology and
- 07:42 - 07:49
a lot of space and science type things and he was into Star Wars and into
- 07:51 - 07:55
all the other kind of like marvel things, or you know,
- 07:55 - 08:00
comic book things that a lot of people associate with nerds.
- 08:00 - 08:07
So he too was also the stereotypical nerd that people pointed out.
- 08:07 - 08:10
But he's also he too also had a lot of charisma
- 08:10 - 08:16
behind it and made it very funny and enjoyable and didn't
- 08:17 - 08:19
make it seem as though
- 08:19 - 08:21
nerds were just
- 08:21 - 08:24
one type of way nerds could be
- 08:25 - 08:27
enjoyable to be around. And
- 08:27 - 08:28
there are also people
- 08:29 - 08:32
with this presentation, I wanted to show that
- 08:33 - 08:34
nerds
- 08:35 - 08:40
are more than nerds, they are also people and they have
- 08:41 - 08:45
uh more than just knowledge despair in society.
