Lower Class Lout: Difference between revisions

* Female examples are typically [[The Ladette]] and prone to underage pregnancy.

* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain|Being generally racist, violent and otherwise anti-social]]

* Driving around in a modified car ([[Rice Burner|with mostly cosmetic upgrades]]) with an obnoxiously loud speaker system and poor regard for the rules of the road.

* [[Murder Arson and Jaywalking|Wearing (fake) designer clothing (often of a specific brand) with tacky (and fake) jewelry]].

* The villains in ''[[Harry Brown]]'' are textbook chavs (although [[More Dakka|better armed than usual]]), played as [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]] to make them [[Acceptable Target|Acceptable Targets]] for the [[Vigilante Man]] protagonist.

* The 2007 reboot of ''[[St Trinian's]]'' featured chavs as one of the school's cliques.

* The cast of ''Kidulthood'' and its sequel ''Adulthood'' (Katy from the first film seems to have been more middle-class, but still behaved this way.)

* British horror film ''F'' is based around such characters going on a murder and torture spree at a school after being given failing grades by their teacher.

** Sketch show ''Tittybangbang'' had similar characters in the "Duck and Chips Family" and the pub darts team sketches.

** Jocelyn Jee Esien's "Sharonisha" character from her TV series.

{{quote| '''Cassandra {{spoiler|In Rose's body}}:''' Oh no! {{spoiler|I'm a}} chav!}}

** Apparently this line got a laugh from an audience of overseas buyers who [[Inherently Funny Words|almost certainly didn't know the word "chav"]].

* As do [[Kath and Kim]].

* Onslow, Hyacinth's brother-in-law on ''[[Keeping Up Appearances]]''. Obviously, Hyacinth is [[Sarcasm Mode|thrilled]]. However, while shabby and slovenly, Onslow is friendly and benign--and [[Hidden Depths|actually]] [[Brilliant but Lazy|really smart]]--and deliberately makes a favourable contrast with the snobbish Hyacinth.
