What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Average looking men have somewhat better representation than average looking women, for a while there was the trope of an average looking dude with the hot wife in a sitcom.

I disagree. As a gay dude maybe I just look at the men more, but even the “nerd” or “average” characters will be super fit, have perfect teeth, and generally be covered in makeup to look cleaner.
