{{quote|'''Sam Donaldson:''' ''Governor Clinton, let's be frank. You're running for president, yet your only experience has been as the governor of a small, backward state with a population of drunken hillbillies riding around in pickup trucks. The main streets of your capital city, Little Rock, are something out of ''[[Li'l Abner]]'', with buxom underage girls in their cutoff denims prancing around in front of Jethro and Billy Bob, while corncob-pipe-smoking, shotgun-toting grannies fire indiscriminately at runaway hogs.''

The [[Deep South]]: home of fat redneck sheriffs, hillbillies, moonshiners, [[Politically-Incorrect Villain|Klan members]], tobacco-chawin' [[Good Ol' Boy]]s missing half their teeth, and all other manner of [[Corrupt Hick]]s, not to mention [[The Fundamentalist|fire-and-brimstone preachers]], [[Apron Matron|iron-bound matriarchs]], [[Fat Sweaty Southerner in a White Suit|white-suited plantation owners]], [[Southern Belle]]s in flouncy gowns or short-shorts with crop tops, and possums. Some [[Kissing Cousins]] could also be in the mix somewhere.

{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Blaster Knuckle]]'' is the story of a black man in the 1880's who battles demons who use the Ku Klux Klan to cover their [[I Am a Humanitarian|flesh-eating tendencies]] on the nearest safe target. As one might expect, [[Hero with Bad Publicity|he has a bit of a PR problem]]. Oh, and the Deep South looks a lot more like the Wild West.
== Comic
* ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)|Preacher]]''
* Doug TenNapel's ''[[Creature Tech]]'' thoroughly subverts this with the town of Turlock. First, the town's sub-literate rednecks turn out to be more accepting of a giant insect-man than the protagonist is. Second, several townspeople are revealed to be quite intelligent: the pastor was formerly a biologist, and another man taught himself quantum mechanics. Third, Turlock is actually in rural [[Hollywood California|California]].

* ''[[True Life]]'' had an episode called "The Theriot Family: [[Incredibly Lame Pun|The Riot]] in the Bayou" about a large Louisiana family that likes to have fun. They fall into most of the stereotypes of the South as well as some [[New Orleans]] stereotypes.
* The [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] show ''[[GCB]]'' is about a single mother and widow who moves from Santa Barbara, California to her hometown of Dallas, Texas. The show pretty much plays up all of the stereotypes of the South and Texas.
* [[CMT]] has a tendency for these types of show, most of them were reality shows.
