Lol Fictional characters who you believe were "Karens" or "Chads"?

Karens are entitled, spoiled rotten, usually suburban upper middle class moms who thinks EVERYBODY was invented to wait on them hand and foot.

Chads are those good looking alpha males that always get all the girls despite treating them like dirt, to the frustration of “nice guys” who are perpetually friend zoned by the same women.

This thread is not funny. Karen is the name of my mother, I resent her name being used in a derogatory manner like it has been so many places this year. It is a horrible trend that never should have been started.

When she's not busy subordinating herself to Lucy, Ethel Mertz definitely has that side to her personality

Hating the term " Karen" for a woman who is an entitled b*tch , so I will just use the latter term in my posting , the biggest one of all is Debra Barone from " Everybody loves Raymond " !

You really have to look at how Ethel treats people other than the Ricardos.

Other tenants who complain about their heat, or water are always groundless, or outsiders who have been drawn into Lucy's schemes are fools. Ethel has little sympathy for people who fail to "go with the flow". And her contempt for Fred is always just one notch beneath the surface.

And if Weezy is not aloof and arrogant, she is nothing else. She and George deserve each other, IMO.

I imagine that Dick Nixon likely felt persecuted over the abuse of his name too? And just think about all the undeserving Johns out there.
And then there are all the carnival barkers on the midway, looking for their next Mark?

I knew a guy 45 years ago who ran a printing service he named "Flash Printing Service".
And he used to seethe with anger whenever the Rolling Stones song "Jumping Jack Flash" came on the radio.

Personally, I believe that one of the responsibilities of living in a free society is to NOT look for every opportunity to claim we have been offended. I understand that's not a popular view in this day and age where people seek to claim they have been victimized...as an instrument of their own self empowerment. But that's just the way I feel.

Well, I must agree with Catsrule that using these names as deregatory terms is wrong.
But to answer the question of this thread:

Claire Huxtable of "Cosby Show" and Judith Harper of "2 1/2 Men" are "Karens". God, how I hate them both!

Will Smith of "Fresh Prince" and Charlie Harper of "2 1/2 Men" are "Chads".
So needless to say, I would prefer the supposedly less desirable Carlton or Alan with no hesitation.

I don't think Weezie Jefferson was a Karen on AITF or the early seasons of The Jeffersons. But in the last 3 or 4 seasons, Weezie was definitely a Karen.
