Exactly What It Says on the Tin, a cousin who hails from the rural parts of the nation. This trope usually comes into play on shows set in the suburbs or the city, and it usually takes the form of the cousin (or cousins) coming to visit or one of the show's main characters going to the country to visit the cousin. Either way Hilarity Ensues. Doesn't necessarily have to be a cousin; it could be any relative. Cousin is just being used as a general term here, since it is somewhat of a common phrase. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Compare Country Mouse; while that trope usually applies to characters who are naive and central to the cast, this more applies to a character with more or less any personality (though stereotypes applying to the country will usually be apparent) and is at most a Recurring Character. See also The City vs. the Country. Examples: |

Spoofed in The Simpsons, where Homer's country "cousin" (actually only their dogs are related) is way more sophisticated than him, whereas Homer claims it's the other way round, adhering to the stereotypes concerning country people. | |

Another take on the same premise was two versions of Little Red Riding Hood (or rather, Red Hot Riding Hood) where the country cousin visits his city-cousin wolf to get away from his countrified Abhorrent Admirer, Red, only to fall for the city version of Red. Once the City Wolf takes him back, he then has the same reaction to Country Red. | |

Spoken, not particularly straight example: Bon Jovi's song "We Got It Going On" (from the band's attempt at a country album, Lost Highway) features Big & Rich, who are introduced by Jon saying "And now a Public Service Announcement from my Country Cousins. Big Kenny, talk to the people!" | |

In Married... with Children, Peggy's family consists of country hillbillies who live in the middle of nowhere. They appeared in a few episodes where the Bundys visited them, and when Katey Sagal took a break from the show while pregnant, the character went to Wisconsin to stay with her family. | |

In Oggy and the Cockroaches, there's Elvis, the cockroaches' older cousin. He's a farmer with a disgusting food palate and, much to the disdain of his cousins, manages to get on the good side of Oggy. | |

The Flintstones had an episode in which Fred's country cousins (who just so happen to be over-the-top Stone Age hilbillies) come to visit for a weekend...and then continue to stay for months afterwards, thinking that Fred really means it when he says that he wishes they could stay longer. | |

On SpongeBob SquarePants, Plankton call his relatives to help him get the Krabby Patty formula in "Plankton's Army". He expects them to be Evil Geniuses like him, so he's shocked to find that they're all unsophisticated hillbillies. One of them even admits to being illiterate. | |

In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Applejack was a Country Niece to her Aunt and Uncle Orange in Manehatten, whom she lived with for a brief period as a filly, but quickly found that she missed her more immediate family, and the farm. Inverted with Babs Seed, who visits her cousins Applejack and Apple Bloom in the rural Ponyville from Manehatten. |

Inverted in South Park with Kyle's cousin Kyle, from New York. He's very much the stereotypical Jew/nerd (nasal voice, good with math and money, and heavily allergic to EVERYTHING). In the end, he calls Kyle and his friends hick jocks. | |

Hey Arnold! has Arnold's country cousin, Arnie, who is exactly like Arnold in every way, except that he is completely bland, dull, and vanilla-flavored. His hometown, however, is a Bizarro Universe version of Arnold's, where Lulu has a crush on him, but Arnold prefers Hilda. It turns out to be All Just a Dream, though. | |
