Americans who tend to forget that the rest of the world exists often, when they remember, stereotype everyone else by their headgear. They will indicate that a character is Mexican by simply slapping a sombrero on their head, giving a Russian character an ushanka, a French one a beret, a Brit a bowler hat, an Irish a green top hat, an East or Southeast Asian a rice hat, a South Asian or Middle Easterner a turban, and a Native American either a feathered headband or full-on feathered headdress. So what, one might wonder, is the stereotypical hat that other countries associate with America? Well as it turns out, a cowboy hat. In foreign media, Americans are often portrayed either as cowboys or dressed so similarly to an archtypical cowboy that it makes no difference. Expect a ten-gallon hat, button-up shirt, jeans, boots and maybe a vest, poncho or duster for good measure. Apparently in Eagleland, The Wild West never quite ended. Might be a trigger-happy Gun Nut too. This is a case of Small Reference Pools, where America has become so synonymous with cowboy culture that people overseas use it to characterize the entire country. This is, of course, partially Truth in Television: The Western is a distinctly American genre (unless it's a Canadian Western), and a lot of stereotypical cowboy traits are also stereotypes of Americans as a whole. Plus, cowboy fashion and culture is still idealized in certain parts of America, particularly in rural areas (especially in western states), and in Country Music. In fact, Americans from these regions are frequently stereotyped this way by other Americans; what this trope categorizes as a stereotypical American would be recognized by most actual Americans specifically as a stereotypical Texan or more broadly as a stereotypical southerner. See Eagleland when talking about personality, and an "Ugly American" Stereotype may combine both by wearing a cowboy hat abroad. Wearing a Flag on Your Head is another stereotypical American fashion, though it's by no means restricted to them. When talking about hair/eye colors, see Phenotype Stereotype. Sexy cowboy and cowgirl costumes may be a part of a Gorgeous Gaijin. If the character identifies more for being a Texan than an American, see Everything is Big in Texas. |

In an episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, where young Indy is imprisoned in a maximum security German P.O.W. prison during World War I, he is approched by two Russian prisoners who ask him if he is a cowboy since "All Americans are cowboys", when Indy asks them to clarify, they ask him if he knows how to use the lasso which Indy replies he does, prompting an overjoyed "A COWBOY!" reaction in them. Because, it turned out that they had been crafting a rope from all the strings of the mail envelopes for the purpose of escaping. | |

One episode of King of the Hill had Hank forced to act like a stereotypical cowboy, including wearing cowboy boots, hat and driving a Cadillac El Dorado convertible, in an effort to appeal to a potential customer who believed that this was the way all Texans behaved. Eventually Hank gets fed up and tells the customer that if all he cares about is "cowboy bullshit" he can go with Thaterton, but if he wants the job done right to stick with Strickland. The customer goes with Thaterton. Mentioned in Returning Japanese when Hank is asking passing Japanese people if they've seen his his dad to no avail. His half-brother Junichiro breaks it down for him: |

In Dracula the one American character, Quincey Morris, is a wealthy Texas cattle rancher who carries a large bowie knife. In one moment, Morris leaves a meeting with other heroes where they're trying to figure out how to cope with vampires; a few seconds later, bullets come flying through the window. This is played with, however, in that he's intentionally puffing himself up to be the cowboy stereotype when he's with Lucy, if only to make her laugh and cheer her up. | |

Molly of Denali applies this to Texas in "Culture Clash." This episode is a Whole Episode Flashback that tells the story of when Trini Mumford moved to Alaska from Texas. Molly and Tooey then watch a bunch of westerns that lead them to assume that the Mumfords lived on a ranch in Texas and rode horses all day. Then Molly and Tooey pretend to be cowboys to impress Trini. It doesn't go well. | |

When adapted for an actual American audience in Power Rangers Ninja Steel, his counterpart Levi needed more than "he's American" to justify the cowboy elements and he was made a country-western singer. | |

Dad's Army. Walmington-on-Sea is hosting the first US troops on British soil, so Captain Mainwaring asks Sgt Wilson how he should greet them. Wilson suggests, "Howdy partner, put it there" while offering to shake hands. Mainwaring scoffs at this, saying he's been watching too many cowboy movies.

A recurring theme in the Command & Conquer: Red Alert Series, especially as later games began undercutting America Saves the Day. Exceptionally Texan General Coville from RA2 kicked it off, but it became all too apparent in RA3 (listen especially to the Century Bomber...). Two of the Allied combat tracks are actually called "American Cowboys" and "How The West Was Won". | |

In Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the Statesmen are the American equivalent of Kingsmen and are all cowboys named after liquor, favor revolvers and even use technologically-enhanced lassos as weapons.

In the early Russian Film The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr. West in the Land of the Bolsheviks, the titular American capitalist is (naturally) accompanied on his trip to Russia by his faithful manservant, Cowboy Jeddy. Jeddy's duties seem to consist mostly of trick shooting. | |

In True Blood, Japanese businessman Gus has his US office in Dallas. In an attempt to "fit in", he dresses like a cowboy businessman and speaks in a ridiculously fake Texan accent. The other characters would often look at him in such a way that he was trying way too hard. | |
