* ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'' has a variation: in the upper-middle-class-to-wealthy Clerk's Ward section of [[Capital City|Sigil]], you meet a group of "Clerk's Ward Thugs" who are poorly attempting to be "street", including hilarious misuse of the in-universe [[Future Slang]] common to the Hive (which, as the name implies, is a [[Wretched Hive]]). [[Tsundere|Annah]], your party member who actually IS from the Hive, makes fun of them and threatens to fight them. |

* Dark Smoke Puncher from ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' is an [[McNinja|Irish-American ninja]] who effects stereotypical "Gangsta" mannerisms. Something of a subversion in that he only does this to prevent his parents from noticing just how incredibly nerdy he actually is. |

* ''[[Homestuck]]'': [[The Lancer|Dave Strider]] and his Bro are, as described by Dave himself, "[[McNinja|ironic rapping roof ninjas]]". Not much of Bro's work is seen (but plenty is seen of [[Demonic Dummy|his love of puppeteering]]), but Dave was known to burst into improvised rap early on, he has a sizable array of sampling equipment and turntables, he sent Jade a collection of techno remix efforts of [[Stylistic Suck|questionable quality]], and in Sburb he even controls his [[Time Master|time powers]] through augmented turntables. While [[Raised by Wolves|Jade]] is impressed by it all, [[The Hero|John]] and [[The Smart Guy|Rose]] don't really buy it all that much, and love to snark about or criticise it at many opportunities. |

** After having to clarify that the humans in ''Homestuck'' are aracial, Andrew [[Orwellian Retcon|changed]] 'white' in the above quote to 'Íæûë€Å', though it's since been changed back. He did this mainly to try and quell a [[Flame War]] on the forums. |
