In many comedies, the straight man is the alpha male and the comic is the AFC- examples- Dean Martin = alpha, Jerrry Lewis = AFC, Bud Abbot = alpha, Costilou = AFC.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Worst examples of AFC'S in Movies....

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Very true, but remember his role in the movie is to provide a contrast with the other guys. Definitely an archetypal AFC, but the movie was anything but.MikeYikes122 said:

Another movie that deserves recognition as the worst movie of all time goes to "along came polly" with Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller.
It was disgusting and sad. Please NEVER watch that movie... EVER!!!

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
true stiffler was THE DJ 
well for starters: Every male character in a romantic movie is an afc.
The fact that they get the girl at the end is no excuse because well everything is a movie and the chocolate lobby wants to turn us guys into softies who buy the girls chocolates and flowers >> im on to you!!

Good points, but AFC stands for AVERAGE frustrated chump. Milton is far far from average and not in a good way. A better example from OS would be the main character before he gets hypnotized.BlakeW5 said:

It's only in AFC movies that an AFC gets the girl...and an AFC is so AFC..that he thinks after watching that AFC movie AFC is the real way to be...
Guys, we are reaching totally at a new level of swearing using this word AFC...

Howard in "In The Company of Men" - his direct opposite is Chad. Anyone wanting to see two extreme examples of opposite sides of the spectrum needs to watch this movie.

Brendan Frasier in Bedazzled, although it was intended so it might not count.

The character played by Patrick Dempsey in Sweet Home Alabama. She picks the masculine country boy over the preppy city guy.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

This is the best scene from Swingers:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhmcJ7Zg5ko&feature=related
"I don't want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone's *really* hoping makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated R movie, you know, the guy you're not sure whether or not you like yet. You're not sure where he's coming from. Okay? You're a bad man. You're a bad man, Mikey. You're a bad man, bad man. "

I just watched some of that movie "Redline," and I gotta say that was soo painful to watch. I mean the way it went from allright to the brother dying (I think he was the best in the movie) and then the girl taking over and just screwing the boss at the end was just sooo bad.
I mean I can see what you guys are saying by the "Brainwashing," of movies these days and now I can see it in "Stomp the Yard," as well.
I guess once you can see how bad society is and how men are portrayed in the majority of movies you can see WHY the male gender is going downhill.....damn.
