* Oscar the Grouch is probably the closest anyone on ''[[Sesame Street]]'' comes to this. Other than that, one could assume that this is the most peaceful neighborhood in all of Brooklyn.
* Referenced in the [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]] short in which an angel and a devil argue over a bread delivery guy. Said deliveryman tells of his wayward days of being a bad deliveryman, where it is riffed "I had a Brooklyn accent and a different poissenality!"
** In ''[[Quest of the Delta Knights]]'', the skits portray Leonardi da Vinci like this.
* The Teutels of ''[[American Chopper]]''.
* In ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'', when Archer finds himself in an alternate past wherein the Nazis have invaded the East Coast of the United States, he finds that several Mafia members have joined forces with the locals in... Brooklyn (no, really) to fend them off.
** Makes sense when you think about it. The Mafia is basically a premade Resistance organization, and they ''hated'' the Nazis historically, to the point they, allegedly, offered the US governments informants in Italy during [[World War
* Given that the 8th season of ''
* Also to be expected from time to time on [[CSI: NY]], which is set in New York. As far as main characters, Danny Messer can fit this at times. He's settled a little since becoming a family man, but he still has his short temper and liability explode from time to time. He tries to restrain it at work, but not always successfully. And he'll take it [[Up to Eleven]] if you [[Papa Wolf|go after Lindsay and Lucy]]. Stella fell into it from time to time as well, and so did Aiden Burn. Another character who comes to mind is Sonny Sassone, who was a villain in two episodes.
* On ''[[Law and Order: Criminal Intent]]'', Robert Goren, who is from Brooklyn ([[Actor Allusion|as is his actor]]), generally averts this trope. When he plays the [[Good Cop, Bad Cop|bad cop]], however, he turns his Brooklyn accent [[Up to Eleven]], just to play into it.
* Many different characters on ''[[Boardwalk Empire]]'', particularly [[Al Capone]].
* [[Heroes (TV series)|

Line 97:
* Most of the cast of ''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'', ''[[Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories]]'', and the supporting cast of ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''. Liberty City is basically a [[No Communities Were Harmed]] New York.
** Tommy Vercetti of ''[[Grand Theft Auto Vice City]]'' is from Liberty City.
** CJ from ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' spent five years living in Liberty City before the events of the game and returns for one mission.
*** Luis Lopez is from Northwood (Washington Heights) and definitely has a tendency towards homicidal rage.
* Many [[Our Goblins Are Wickeder|goblins]] in ''[[Warcraft]]'' have Brooklyn accents. In an ad for the cancelled ''[[Warcraft: Lord of the Clans]]'', Gazlowe was even compared to a New York cab driver.
* Furio "The Tiger" Tigre from ''[[Ace Attorney|Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials & Tribulations]]'' is one frightening loan shark who, true to his nickname, literally [[Written Roar|roars]] his way around.
* Nick Jameson, who voices Max in ''[[Sam and Max Hit The Road]]'', gives the lagomorph plenty of Brooklyn rage. Parodied by William Kastern in ''[[The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police|Sam and Max Freelance Police]]: The Devil's Playhouse'', who doesn't generally use this when he voices Max, but uses a Brooklyn accent while playing an extra-aggressive version of Max in a [[Nostalgia Level]].
Line 105:
* Scout from ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' is actually a [[Southies|Southie]], but mysteriously has a Brooklyn accent.
{{quote|''If you were from, where I was from, you'd be f[bleep] dead!''}}
* In ''[[MapleStory]]'', Hawkeye (the Pirate trainer of the Cygnus Knights) talks like this when he has audial dialogue. Oddly, he is from Lith Harbor, ''not'' Kenning City, the zone that is the most like Brooklyn itself.

Line 126:
* An episode of ''The Twisted Tales Of [[Felix the Cat]]'' featured a flood devastating New York. When the flood reaches Brooklyn, the residents ''beat it back''.
* Russel Hobbs, drummer for the [[Gorillaz]], may be a [[Gentle Giant]], but don't [[Berserk Button|piss him off.]] It will end '''badly.'''
* One-shot villain Mr. White from the ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' episode "Operation: B.R.I.E.F.S.". He's a [[Animate Inanimate Object|living pair of underwear]] with a Brooklyn accent and a bad attitude.
