(M*A*S*H pothole)
Line 54:
* [[Justified]] in ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (TV series)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'' (and [[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|the books they were based on]]).
* Chase (his last name; his first name, rarely used, is Robert), from ''[[House (TV series)|House, M.D.]]''. Some of these names overlap with upper-class-sounding British names; with Chase it's both. He started as the [[Upper Class Twit]] but had a little character development making him a competent twit, much like Charles Emerson Winchester III from M*A*S*H.
* Speaking of which, Charles Emerson Winchester III from ''[[MASHMM*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H*]]''.
** ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]'' made a [[Shout-Out]] to this by naming an [[Upper Class Twit]] "Chaz" Winchester IV. And while we're on the subject, the Rangers have included a handful of upper-crusters in their ranks: [[Power Rangers Time Force|Wesley Collins]], [[Power Rangers SPD|Sydney Drew]], [[Power Rangers Operation Overdrive|Mackenzie Hartford]] (with his father Andrew Hartford as the team's patron), and [[Power Rangers RPM|Summer Landsdown]].
* Greenlee Smythe and Colby Chandler on ''[[All My Children]]''. Both first names are their mothers' maiden names, which is a typical preppy naming convention.
