Line 11:
[[Pirate]] attacks have to be dealt with, [[Ruthless Modern Pirates|even in modern times]]. Except now they use machine guns instead of cutlasses and are less romanticized.
Excludes Cuba (since circa 1959) [[Especially Zoidberg|and Haiti]]. Jamaica is a specialized case, mostly due to a perceived abundance of Reggae and Rastafari folks [[The Stoner|with a penchant for the "Wisdom Weed"]]. The Bahamas is often mistaken for Jamaica much to the chagrin of ''both'' countries' citizens. This is despite, however, a minority of Rastafarians in Jamaica.
If you find white people here in contemporary times they're likely to be sitting on a yacht, playing croquet or cricket, or lounging around in white suits and reading a newspaper in the lobby of a hotel that's seen better days.
Also known as [[The Spanish Main]]. Because it used to be full of [[Badass Spaniard

Line 22:
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* There have been two one-shot comics with the [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]] visiting [[Puerto Rico]]. They even fought a [[Chupacabra]].
==
* The [[Comics Nix]] [[So Bad It's Good|"masterpiece"]] ''[[Scooby Doo]] [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5915590/1/Scooby_Doo_and_the_Trip_of_Lust and the Trip of Lust]'' is set in "Jamaca Island, the earth of Bob Marley and [[Stevie Wonder]]." ([[Did Not Do the Research|the latter of whom isn't actually from Jamaica]].)
Line 34:
* ''[[Captain Blood]]'' is set in the Caribbean; Jamaica and Tortuga are particularized.
* ''[[Cool Runnings]]''
* The fictional nation of San Monique from the [[James Bond]] movie ''Live and Let Die''.
* At the end of ''[[The Silence of the Lambs]]'', Dr. Lector has escaped to an unnamed island and saunters off into the crowd of locals as the credits roll.
Line 68:
* The ''[[Monkey Island]]'' series uses this, since it owes a lot to the original ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' ride, [[Older Than They Think|or vice versa]]. The [[Escape from Monkey Island|fourth game]] actually features Guybrush trying to save the Caribbean from being converted into a tourist's paradise by a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|conniving Australian businessman]].
* ''[[Sid Meier's Pirates!]]''
* The trolls of ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' seem to blend both this trope and Mayincatec. The Darkspear have Jamaican accents and practice a fantasy equivalent of voodoo, while other tribes practice blood sorcery similar to human sacrifice and convene around ziggurats.
* ''[[Tropico]]'' takes place in a more modern Carribean, with you as a dictator of a [[Banana Republic]].
Line 75:

Line 82:
** And in one episode they visit Panda La.
* The ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' episode "Battle of the Bulge" features three fruit-devouring, evil-doing Jamaican fruit bats complete with the matching accent.
* In a ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' episode, the hamsters go on a vacation at Jamaica's KND sector. One of the operatives there is your stereotypical Jamaican who hilariously seems to be the only one who can stomach Lizzie's horrible cooking.
