Parker Posey provides examples of the following tropes:

• Cloudcuckoolander
• Brilliant but Lazy: Her role in Party Girl showed her as a typical 90's slacker that was capable of doing more.
• Deadpan Snarker: Almost every role she's in.
• Identical Stranger: Put a blonde wig on her and you've pretty much got Elizabeth Banks.
• Mean Character, Nice Actor: As mentioned, she has played a lot of nasty characters but she is known as being very professional and easy to work with.
• Moe
• Nerds Are Sexy
• Older Than They Look: As of May 2020, she's 51, but doesn't look much older than 40. In her 40s, she looked more like she was in her 30s.
• Playing Against Type: She played The Ditz in Superman Returns, going against her usual, intellectual character type. Also, even though that character worked for Lex Luthor, she was actually much nicer than many of her characters... even the law-abiding ones.
