Why aren't the Biff Tannons of the world extinct yet, Darwin?

You know, I was thinking. Why do jocks and fratboys-- let's call them the Biff Tannons of the world-- why do they still exist? Think about it. Every frat boy says Fight Club in his favorite movie, despite the fact that Biff Tannon is exactly who the movie is making fun of. Other than movies about athletes or fraternities, I can't think of a single movie that shows the Biff Tannons in a good light. They are always obnoxious morons who eventually get their cumupence.
With movies as popular now as ever, how the hell could anyone see the Biff Tannon that trips Peter Parker in Spider-Man, then go trip an actual nerd in a school cafeteria, and not see the connection? No, seriously... how.
