Line 15:

[[The Idiot From Osaka|Any geographical area of any country that's seen as being a bit backwards]] or woodsy can breed a non-US version of this character.

Despite the title, this trope is not a cross between [[Groin Attack]] and [[Kill It ~~With~~ Fire]].

* The Engineer from ''[[~~Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|~~Team Fortress 2]]'' seems to be a subversion; he is referred to as a "good ol' boy" in his profile, but also has [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist|11 PhDs]] and tends to engage in [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]. Also unlike most "good ol' boys," the Engie can't shoot his pistol to save his life. The most accurate pistoleer is actually the Frenchman!

* Haggard from ''[[Battlefield ~~Bad Company (Video Game)|Battlefield~~ Bad Company]]'' averts this trope to an extent. One one side, he has a southern accent, is somewhat dumb, has dated a cousin, and he's only in the army because he loves [[Stuff Blowing Up|blowing things up]]. On the other, he welcomes the new guy as easily as the rest of the squad does, {{spoiler|is more trusting of the hostage than Sarge is}}, and merrily hops across a border chasing the same gold the rest of the squad has to persuade itself to chase.

* In ''[[Grand Theft Auto]] IV'', there's a TV show ''[[Halo]]'' parody called ''Republican Space Rangers'', in which three such characters explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and nuke them all to hell for being weird and different.

* Just about anyone with a speaking role in ''[[Starcraft]]'', from the main characters of General Edmund Duke, Jim Raynor, and Raynor's buddy Tychus Finnely all the way down to the [[Redshirt Army|Terran Marines]].
