Line 24:
* America has several types, although they tend to be regionally based. The exact slang used is different, the exact labels might be different, including the "Guido" stereotype sometimes applied to Italian-Americans in the mid-Atlantic states, as well as the less-flattering stereotypes one finds in Boston about [[Southies]]. Oh, and rednecks. Let's not forget the rednecks (who are heavy on the racist thing, but less likely to wear tacky clothing. Unfashionable, yes, but not tacky). Also their urban equivalent, "gangstas" (less racist, more tacky).
Younger examples are almost always [[The Bully]]. Because of the class-based origins of the stereotype expect the moral of any story they appear in to lean towards [[Eat the Rich]] or [[Kill the Poor]]. Contrast the [[Upper Class Twit]] and [[Aristocrats Are Evil]] (for when the rich are villified) and [[Working Class Hero]]. See also: [[Football Hooligans]], [[Delinquents]], [[The Quincy Punk

== [[Film]] ==
* The villains in ''[[Harry Brown]]'' are textbook chavs (although [[More Dakka|better armed than usual]]), played as [[Complete Monster]]s to make them [[Acceptable Target]]s for the [[Vigilante Man]] protagonist.
Line 40 ⟶ 39:
* The ''Diary of a Chav'' series
== [[Live
* The character of Vicky Pollard in ''[[Little Britain]]'' plays the chav stereotype for laughs.
** As does Lauren Cooper from ''[[The Catherine Tate Show]]'' ([[Catch Phrase|"Am I bovered?"]]).
