Stereotypes isn't the right word. Archetypes perhaps.

What I find most interesting is how few of those stereotypes/archetypes are present in our media today.

I still know many of most of them, but they've been replaced as our economy and demographics change.

Mr. C. reminds me rather a lot of a current candidate for vice president.

I had the exact same thought; it was actually a bit unnerving how well it described him.
