* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', [[Characters/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballGumballWatterson the title character]] has a crush on a (peanut species?) cheerleader named Penny, and vice versa. However, neither of them [[CanNotSpitItOut can spit it out to the other]], until The Shell in Season 3.

* In ''ComicBook/AllGhoulsSchool'', two of Becca's friends at her old school state that having a cheerleader's uniform lets you get away with anything.
* At first it seemed like May would join the school cheerleading squad, and one cover even showed her in the outfit, but it's becoming increasingly unlikely with each new issue of ''ComicBook/SpiderGirl''.
* In ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'' Superboy refuses to go out on patrol with Impulse because he'd rather watch the televised national Cheerleading finals. Sucks to be him as that's where Impulse ends up to stop a robbery and saves the day!
* In the ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'', multiple covers have Archie (and some boys) showing interest for cheerleaders, often Betty and Veronica, or being easily [[DistractedByTheSexy distracted]] by them during the games, as in the trope image.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Luann}}'' has Tiffany, AlphaBitch head cheerleader, be the object of Luann's crush Aaron's affections. Might be an aversion, but maybe not. Rumors circulate that the writers [[WordOfGay originally meant to reveal that Aaron was gay]] and was not interested in any of the supposed love interests, but fears that the strip was not popular enough to survive this [[WhatCouldHaveBeen scrapped that plan]].

** One ''A MAD Look At..." strips dealing with high school extra-curricular activities has two jocks teasing their friend about joining the cheer squad (yes, male cheerleaders are a thing). Right up until they see him surrounded by hot girls in skimpy clothes, in the middle of a routine that involves one of them sitting in the palm of his upraised hand, and they realize he's chosen better than they did.

* ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'''s parody of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' had the Sue Sylvester stand-in loudly explain that the only reason for the gratuitous sexy cheerleader scenes is to appeal to the straight male demographic that doesn't care about the musical numbers. "They are not tuning in to hear a 'Liza Minelli tribute.' They want T and A!"

*''Webcomic/AnarchyDreamers'': This very much applies to artsy nerd Koji, who has a giant crush on cheerleader main character Tabbi O'Malley (who also feels the same way about him) [[spoiler: Even cheerleaders are into the cheerleaders too.This also applies to school news reporter/cheerleader Sissy who joined cheerleading because of her crush on fellow cheerleader Luna]]

Cool Loser cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


It should be stressed again that while cheerleaders are universally seen as ''sexy'' in American TV and movies it is by no means a certainty that the male lead will end up with them; indeed they will often be depicted as a vindictive AlphaBitch or shallow BrainlessBeauty who will be dumped in favor of a GirlNextDoor, CoolLoser, or any array of HollywoodHomely or EndearinglyDorky unpopular girls.

* ''Film/{{Bottoms}}'': The cheerleader characters (Brittany, Isabel, and Stella-Rebecca), are universally seen as beautiful and desirable by people around them, especially by the female protagonists PJ and Josie, and frequently [[MsFanservice indulge in fanservice]] of their own volition. Isabel is also dating star quarterback Jeff. [[spoiler:And while Josie is able to genuinely connect with and romance Isabel, PJ's interest in Brittany is implied to start and stop at how she's a hot, popular cheerleader.]]

%%* * Parodied on ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'', with Cleopatra.Cleopatra. She is the captain of the cheerleading squad and a major DudeMagnet. Abe and JFK spend the majority of the show vying for Cleo and fighting each other for her hand. As Abe (and the woman herself) put it: "Cleo, only Cleo. Cleo Cleo Cleo Cleo Cleo!"

no need to list Averted Trope


* Averted in ''Film/SeventeenAgain''. Neither Scarlet nor Maggie are cheerleaders despite the fact that they date the captains of the basketball team in their respective decades. The actual cheerleaders appear to be Mike's pals and/or background dancers.
** But then of course there's Alex who ''does'' want a cheerleader, and actually gets her.
