Like Dastardly Whiplash, this is an oddly specific character. Often a villain, or at the very least extremely shady, the Fat, Sweaty Southerner in a White Suit is where the Small-Town Tyrant intersects with the Villainous Glutton. They are always obese. They always speak with a strong Southern accent, normally an upper-class drawl. They are almost always dressed in a white suit, cane optional. If it's not truly white, it'll be pale enough to have the same effect. If it's someplace in the Deep South, like Mississippi or Louisiana, they will be extremely sweaty and constantly dabbing themselves with a handkerchief when not lazily fanning themselves. This is optional in places like Kentucky, but they will occasionally manage to be sweaty even in an Appalachian winter. The root of the stereotype is in historic Southern fashions, combined with negative stereotypes of plantation owners. The white suit was an enduring Southern fashion well into the 1970s, and can still be seen to this day because the South is hot, not to mention humid. The best such suits were made of linen, which is naturally moisture-wicking and highly thermally conductive; the next-best quality was seersucker, a cotton weave in which most of the cloth stays away from the skin. (Seersucker suits are fashionable to this day in Washington, D.C., which is very much a part of the South's subtropical climate zone.) Being white meant that the suit reflected light, and so didn't get hot as fast as other fabrics; it also allowed its wearer to show off that he didn't have to do anything that would get his clothing dirty. Historical figures who sported the Southern white suit included Mark Twain and Colonel Harland Sanders, but neither of them were particularly fat nor particularly villainous, unless in the latter's case you asked the chickens. Mark Twain's satires of Southern aristocracy might have been the Trope Codifier here. The villainous version is a shameless glutton; the usual objects of his gluttony are mainstream Southern foods (sweet, fatty dishes which originated in the wet, cold, rainy Scottish Lowlands, and were definitely not adapted to suit the wet, hot, rainy Southern ones), but he's often found in association with gumbo, suggesting that he may have Cajun origins. He occasionally has Jabba Table Manners and often has a careless, laid-back manner. He's probably Nouveau Riche and quite possibly a Small-Town Tyrant; he's almost certainly not an aristocratic, genteel, warlike Southern Gentleman. He might be rich by anyone's standards, or he might just be better off than the rural poverty that surrounds him. One way or the other, he can afford very large quantities of very good food, and it's not at all unlikely that he gets the money from being part of, or the leader of, a corrupt local government. One occasionally sees an uncorrupt or out-and-out heroic character of this sort. They sometimes sell food; at other times, they, like the Southern Gentleman, are lawyers. For non-fat, non-sweaty, non-Southerners who may have a different set of villainous characteristics, see Villain in a White Suit. For Southerners too blue-blooded to sweat, see Southern Gentleman. For characters who are more powerful and even less genteel, see Small-Town Tyrant (remembering that there's a lot of overlap). For villains who eat a great deal, Southern or not, see Villainous Glutton. And for other stereotypes of the obese, compare and contrast Fat Bastard, Fat Idiot, Fat Slob, and Sub-Par Supremacist. noreallife |

Although the main villain from Overdrawn at the Memory Bank has based himself on a character from Casablanca, he still belongs to this trope, particularly when it comes to his constant eating and his Faux Affably Evil personality. | |

The Simpsons: The recurring character of the Rich Texan fits the "fat", "southerner", and "in a white (or, at least, light tan) suit" elements of the trope, though he isn't commonly shown to be sweaty or gluttonous. He is very rich and occasionally somewhat shady. Homer Simpson is definitely trying for the look when he restyles himself as "Colonel Homer", manager of Lurleen Lumpkin in the third-season episode of the same name. He brings the suit out again in Season 19's "Papa Don't Leech" when Lurleen returns to Springfield. Also played with in the episode "Bart the Fink", in which the IRS is investigating Krusty the Klown's offshore accounts and a Fat Sweaty Cayman Islander in a White Suit answers the phone: "Mayored to the Mob": Homer trains to become Mayor Quimby's bodyguard by going to Leavelle's Bodyguard Academy, where Leavelle (Mark Hamill) is this trope. Judging by his accent, he seems to be from Texas. "The Monkey Suit": During the trial against Lisa and evolution, Ned has an overweight Simple Country Lawyer named Wallace Brady (guest-starred by Larry Hagman) at his side. The guy opposes Lisa and greatly supports creationism, calling evolution a load of "Hollywood hooey", not to mention he's not afraid of manipulating the audience at the courtroom with a cute baby deer (Bambi apparently) by claiming evolution is what allowed humans to kill his mother, with the intent of siding people against Lisa. Brady also sees no problem whatsoever with sending an eight-year-old girl straight to jail if it means teaching religion at schools. "Love, Springfieldian Style": Wiggum himself gets a related classic line, after watching a racially insensitive cartoon: "Even I find this offensive, and I'm a fat Southern sheriff!" |

Freedom on My Mind: A stock footage newsreel shows a fat double-chinned sheriff in a white shirt blocking entrance to a county courthouse where voter registrations are accepted. This causes a moment of conflict between the white and black civil rights activists. The white kids from all over Yankeeland laugh at the stereotypical newsreel. The black activists who are native to Mississippi get angry, pointing out that this is all deadly serious. | |

"Big Daddy" Labouff from The Princess and the Frog, also played by John Goodman, is a rare positive example. He's a Fat, Sweaty Southerner in a White Suit and a bit of a glutton, but a pretty Nice Guy: a Doting Parent, immensely Nice to the Waiter, and popular enough to be elected King of Mardi Gras five years in a row. Goodman seems to like this role. | |

O Brother, Where Art Thou?: Governor Pappy O'Daniel. Corrupt, but in a self-interested, neutral way. Also, John Goodman plays a straighter, evil example, as a shady bible salesman/Klansman who beats the heroes senseless with a tree branch and steals their money. The Real Life Pappy O'Daniel is not an example, however. | |

His half-brother, John "Pappy" Le Blanc, is the paranoid, senile, and dangerously rich head of the drug cartel that Skip worked for. Blake Dexter, the Big Bad of Absolution, has the girth, suit, drawl and attitude down to a 'T', except he's actually a Midwesterner from South Dakota. It's very obvious that Dexter and his cowboy hat-wearing cronies were originally meant to be Texan, but for whatever reason this was changed sometime before release. |

Life (1999) features at least three examples. Two are prison wardens, the first of whom fits the trope to a T. The second warden is identical in appearance but a much more decent human being. A minor but eventually important villain at the beginning of the film also shows that fat, sweaty, white-bedecked Southern bastards aren't exclusively white. | |

The Fairly OddParents!: Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome and several other buildings and companies in Dimmsdale, and the richest and most powerful man in the city. Based on his mannerisms and Western attire, he is most likely a parody of American businessman William Randolph Hearst. | |

On Good Eats, Alton has an uncle (actually Alton in a costume) who wears a white suit (although he isn't fat or abnormally sweaty), since he's supposed to be a parody of Col. Sanders. He usually shows up when the recipe in question is distinctly Southern (such as fried catfish). | |

Constantine (2005): The personification of Lucifer. Complete with Louisiana accent and white suit, which should be noted, is missing shoes, so you can see filth literally dripping off of his bare feet. Probably hot tar or pitch — which sort of makes sense. | |
