Be Yourself is a popular trope, especially in shows aimed at children. One character tries to persuade another character to change their image and not be a loser, geek, etc. After the change goes amiss, "Flowers for Algernon" Syndrome almost always ensues, and An Aesop is delivered about how it is better to be true to one's own nature rather than putting on a facade to impress others. Usually, that means being behind the times, unfashionable, out of shape, handicapped, overweight, uncool, a complete and utter failure, socially inept and that especially means being "that guy". It's one of the most frequently broken Aesops, tying in to the Status Quo Is God mindset.
