One of the more common Stock Characters, the Half-Witted Hillbilly is the unrefined, uneducated, backwards yokel found in fiction. While they technically can come from any predominantly rural region, in American pop culture they're most commonly portrayed as hailing from the Deep South, Appalachia, or the more sparsely populated areas of Texas and the Southwest. The Half-Witted Hillbilly is a subtrope of the Country Mouse, but whereas the Country Mouse character tends to be more naive than anything else, the Half-Witted Hillbilly tends to be portrayed as either remarkably ignorant of technological or social progress, or just plain stupid. While most Half-Witted Hillbillies are comedic characters, they can also be tragic, villainous or even murderous depending on the story. The Half-Witted Hillbilly can come in many different forms, but most of them fall into five broad categories, all typically sporting a Hayseed Name: The Genuinely Disabled: Rural characters who actually suffer from a true mental illness or disability tend to be edge cases at best. They tend to have more nuanced, fleshed-out, sympathetic portrayals than most instances of this trope, possibly to avoid the risk of attracting "Dude, Not Funny!" reactions. While characters like Forrest Gump or Karl Childers from Sling Blade may technically fit most or all of the description on paper, they fill different roles in the story. The Country Bumpkin: This is perhaps the broadest category of Half-Witted Hillbilly. They may be portrayed as a bit backwards, Book Dumb, or remarkably gullible/naive, but generally not incredibly stupid. May or may not be a fount of homespun wisdom and/or esoteric knowledge about obscure subjects. May be extremely capable in the right environment or situation, or even a Genius Ditz who can whip up Impossibly Delicious Food with only a possum and some veggies. Very commonly overlaps with the Kindhearted Simpleton as many Country Bumpkins are generous and hospitable, whether due to social mores, religious convictions, or innate goodness. While their foibles are generally Played for Laughs, most Country Bumpkins tend to receive positive-to-neutral portrayals. The Backwoods Bigot: This variation of the trope is portrayed as "stupid" not because of mental acuity (or lack thereof), but specifically due to their social or political prejudices. Much more common in Political Cartoons than elsewhere, but do appear in other mediums on occasion. Tends to cross over with Insufferable Imbecile, Small-Town Tyrant and Politically Incorrect Villain. The Inbred Ignoramus: The Inbred Ignoramus tends to encompass all the worst stereotypes of rural America: perpetually drunk and/or on drugs, misanthropic, Too Dumb to Live, unemployed and/or criminal, etc. May have some redeeming characteristics, but generally not. If the character is not canonically inbred, you can bet that the joke will be made at some point. These characters tend to be proof that rural people are still on many people's list of Acceptable Targets. The Half-Witted Hellbilly: This is what happens when the Half-Witted Hillbilly crosses over with Hillbilly Horrors. Very frequently overlaps with the Backwoods Bigot and Inbred Ignoramus variants. It's worth noting that the Half-Witted Hillbilly is by no means a universally loved trope, though it has quite a way to go before reaching Discredited Trope status. Most of the Half-Witted Hillbilly's stereotypical characteristics stem from the fact that rural areas — particularly the more isolated ones — tend to struggle with poverty and a lack of educational resources, so the basic premise of this trope often comes down to "poor people are stupid." To further rub salt in the wound, the old chestnut about rural communities being inbred is largely based on assumptions and exaggerations reported by late-19th century journalists and missionaries, rather than actual reality. It's not hard to see why this trope may be considerably less funny to some people than others. Compare The Idiot from Osaka, which is a similar concept in Japanese media, and The Bogan, its equivalent in Australia. Contrast Southern-Fried Genius. May overlap with the Country Cousin, Farm Boy, Farmer's Daughter, Good Ol' Boy, or Southern-Fried Private. Hillbilly Incest is a subtrope. No Real Life Examples, Please! This is a play on a potentially hurtful stereotype, after all. |

Carnage: Cletus Kasady is sometimes portrayed as an uneducated Southern redneck who — while not stupid — is a sociopathic serial killer with a love for sadistically killing people, making him a Half-Witted Hellbilly. As such, Spider-Man and Deadpool enjoy taunting him about being a hillbilly. | |

Karl Childers from the film Sling Blade falls into the Genuinely Disabled category. While his low intelligence stems from his disability rather than his rural upbringing, he is notable for being one of the few tragic examples of this trope, from his abusive upbringing to his committing murder to protect his loved ones. | |

Mostly averted in ''Hillbilly', where all the human characters in the Fantasy Americana setting are some variety of hayseed, but most are perfectly intelligent, if uneducated by modern standards. However, the hero, Rondel, occasionally finds himself truly exasperated by the almost deliberate stupidity of some of the people he's trying to protect. | |

Curt and Pun'kinhead Martin from the old Looney Tunes cartoon short "Hillbilly Hare" found themselves matching wits with Bugs Bunny... but find that they were unarmed the whole time. Other cartoons that featured hillbillies include "When I Yoo Hoo" (climaxing in a cockfight), "A Feud There Was" (with Egghead going as Elmer Fudd, peacemaker) plus "Backwoods Bunny" and "The Dixie Fryer" with Elvis and Pappy (two hillbilly hawks). |

Grand Theft Auto V: The O'Neil clan most certainly fit this bill due to the fact that the brother that talks to Trevor has the typical drawl and the family consists of nine brothers and a boatload of grunts. Yet, they have a capable meth operation and a working relation with the Los Santos Triads which could've made them Southern-Fried Geniuses had they not pissed off the wrong guy. | |

Our Miss Brooks: In "Just Remember the Red River Valley", Miss Brooks, Mr. Boynton, Mr. Conklin and Walter Denton try to get jobs with Deacon Jones' square dance troop. The deacon was looking for teachers to tutor "the hillbilly kids" during the summer at a salary of $500 a month (in 1954). According to a friend of Mr. Boynton, the deacon was looking for teachers who could relate to the children and double in the square dance act. This results in Miss Brooks and company pretending to be hillbillies. Unfortunately, Mr. Jones, State Inspector of Schools, chooses that moment to pay a visit to Madison High School. | |

Garfield: The Arbuckle family is a downplayed example; they aren't necessarily any dumber than any of the other characters (certainly not compared to Jon), but they are shown as varying degrees of backwards in accordance with the Rule of Funny. Jon's father and brother are typically shown to be the most backwards (notably, Jon's father was once shown not knowing how to use indoor plumbing) while his mother and grandmother are generally portrayed far more positively. Their neighbor is noted to have never quite gotten the hang of modern technology. |

King of the Hill: Recurring nuisance Jimmy Wichard is — as a result of both inbreeding and Childhood Brain Damage — an astoundingly stupid Psychopathic Manchild with a Hair-Trigger Temper and a bad mullet. Lucky, who debuted amongst a menagerie of other rednecks in the episode "The Redneck on Rainey Street" is a prominent example as a guy whose family had had shotgun marriages, and his primary income consists of frivolous lawsuits. |

Invoked and subverted in Where the Red Fern Grows. The story takes place in the Oklahoma portion of the Ozarks, where the main character Billy Coleman and his family are poor, uneducated, and live in the hills. At one point, when Billy visits the next big town by himself for the first time, the city kids judge him harshly over of his dirty, impoverished appearance. When he admits that he's from "the hills" and his name just happens to be named Billy, the kids all make fun of him, chanting "Hillbilly! Hillbilly!" Of course, despite his lack of education, Billy is by no means stupid. | |

Seventh Endmost Vision states during Cloud's second POV that this is basically how most of the Western Continent views the mountain folk in Nibelheim and surrounding communities. They're explicitly not surprised that Tifa went to war with her fists alone, because only hillfolk are that dumb. There's one positive quality attached to the stereotype, at least- in addition to being dumb as rocks, the other Westerners regard the hillbilles as being about that tough, too, so they also weren't surprised that Tifa managed to make it work anyway. | |

The Andy Griffith Show has a couple of prominent examples: Ernest T. Bass is a rowdy, uneducated hillbilly/troublemaker best known for throwing rocks at windows, and speaking mostly in rhyme. He only appeared in five episodes of the show's original run, but remains one of its most beloved minor characters. Mayberry's own Gomer Pyle is one of the nicest, most innocent young men you could ever hope to meet...but he's incredibly gullible, naive, and certainly not terribly bright. His popularity eventually led to him getting his own TV spinoff, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.. Gomer's cousin Goober Pyle (whose last name was once given as Beasley), also fits into the "nice but slow-witted" trope. His actor, George Lindsey, would take the character to the variety show Hee Haw after the Mayberry shows ended their runs. The Darling clan, a Country Bumpkin family led by patriarch Briscoe Darling, consisting of his four sons and his only daughter Charlene who had occasional flirtatious moments with Andy. They have a pretty good Appalachian bluegrass band, and they have their moments involving superstitious mountain folklore. |

In Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation, Buster and Babs get captured by a menacing family of possums in the Louisiana outback (as well as gators and a boat full of predators that want to eat them alongside Mr. Hitcher who, after failing to kill Plucky and the pigs earlier, just happens to show up) and are rescued by the son of the possum family, who they bring back to Acme Acres. He then enrolls in the Looniversity, saying "Hoo-eey! I'm gonna get me an ejumucation!" | |

Hillbilly Jim: A more down-home, folksy, fun-loving bumpkin from Mud Lick, Kentucky. Heel wrestlers tried to either take advantage of his seemingly simpleton ways or insult him for his backwoods origins, but Jim was more wily than he appeared. When Jim was legitimately injured (during a match against Brutus Beefcake) and sidelined for several months shortly after his 1985 debut, the WWF decided to introduce several of Jim's cousins – Uncle Elmer, Cousin Junior and Cousin Luke – to the fold. Each one of their characters was decidedly slower-witted than Jim, the brains of the family (which, if you asked Jesse Ventura wasn't saying much). The Hillbilly family wreaked havoc on the WWF well into 1986. |

As such, the MC and Leah assume that her brother will conform to this stereotype, and are shocked when he catches on to Leah's attempt to trick him. He even comments that he's smarter than he looks and dislikes people assuming he's unintelligent because of his rural background. | |

Scooter from the Borderlands series has a strong Southern accent, and is completely clueless about anything that doesn't involve machines. One sidequest has you help him find inspirations to compose a poem to woo a girl he likes. The results are... less than impressive. The second game reveals that he, his mother Moxxi and his sister Ellie are from the Hodunk Clan, who are all stereotypical hillbillies. | |

Tow Mater from Cars is an exemplar of a sympathetic Country Bumpkin: big-hearted, Book Dumb, socially awkward, and largely ignorant of anything outside of Radiator Springs, but all the things he's good at, he's really good at. At least part of his popularity comes from the fact that his voice actor is Larry the Cable Guy essentially playing a kid-friendly version of himself. | |

Invoked in Twin Peaks by Insufferable Genius City Mouse Agent Rosenfield, who assumes the eponymous town will be full of this trope, and frequently insults the locals with redneck stereotypes ("Why don't you return to your porch rockers and resume whittling?"). This eventually gets him punched in the face by the sheriff, after which he mellows out. | |

In the Wacky Races episode "Mish Mash Missouri Dash", Dick Dastardly encounters one of these hillbillies, who has such a short attention span that he doesn't resist when Dick yanks off his hat and beard for a quick disguise. The show regularly featured hillbilly Luke, driver of the Arkansas Chuggabug. The hillbilly Dastardly encountered was Luke's cousin and Luke exposes Dastardly's disguise ("That lowdown cheatin' varmint ain't no kin of ours!"). | |

The Beverly Hillbillies may just be the Trope Codifier for the Country Bumpkin type. The entire series is based on the premise that the hillbilly Clampetts don't understand the posh modern conveniences of Beverly Hills. The degree varies wildly between characters; for example Jed has a lot of genuine wisdom and a deep cunning, but Jethro is straight-up an idiot who may or may not have an actual mental disability. | |

Nightmare Time: The Metzger Clan, from the episode "Perky’s Buds" are a family of Half-Witted Hillbillies, especially the children of the family, Louie, Carl, and Lars, who make crude jokes to harass Emma and Ziggs as they work. As the episode continues, they cross further and further into Hellbilly territory, attempting to kill the two by burying them up to their necks and running them over with a wheat-cutter. | |

When Jim was legitimately injured (during a match against Brutus Beefcake) and sidelined for several months shortly after his 1985 debut, the WWF decided to introduce several of Jim's cousins – Uncle Elmer, Cousin Junior and Cousin Luke – to the fold. Each one of their characters was decidedly slower-witted than Jim, the brains of the family (which, if you asked Jesse Ventura wasn't saying much). The Hillbilly family wreaked havoc on the WWF well into 1986. | |

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is one long subversion. It starts out with a standard Hillbilly Horrors setup: a group of college kids on a camping trip in the backcountry have an unsettling encounter with two hillbillies at a gas station. Then the perspective flips, showing the hillbillies as fairly normal guys with maybe a touch of Country Bumpkin, while the college kids come across as ridiculously stupid and in one case, downright evil. | |

Far Cry: Hurk Drubman Jr., first introduced in Far Cry 3, who then goes on to appear in Far Cry 4, Far Cry 5, and Far Cry: New Dawn, fits this trope perfectly. A fat bearded American with a Deep South accent, he behaves most of the time like an excitable partying Frat Bro who loves guns to a disturbing level. In his first appearance, he's trying to train monkeys as suicide bombers, citing Russian World War II dog bombers and American Navy dolphin bombers in his reasoning. note And he even notes that the Russian dogs backfired because the Russians trained them to sprint under their own tanks! Luckily, Hurk's latest monkey bomber, Coco, is intelligent enough to get rid of his explosive vest before Hurk detonates it. In later games, Hurk makes further clumsy errors in judgement: in 4, he somehow thinks he's fighting for Pagan Min's Royal Army instead of the Golden Path, purely because he thinks their heavily-accented English is actually their native language. Hurk reaches Lethally Stupid levels in 5 when he's one of the Guns For Hire, because he has a tendency to bring RPGs and massive firearms into battle against the Project at Eden's Gate, which means he's as likely to hit you as the peggies. Hilariously, his caveman ancestor Urki is shown to have been just as much a Half-Witted Hillbilly back in Far Cry Primal, despite Urki being from Central Europe millions of years before there ever was a United States. | |

The anthology movie Creepshow has a segment titled "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", starring Stephen King as a farmer who comes into contact with an Alien Kudzu growing from a meteorite that lands in his field. Although the sequence is mostly played for dark comedy and King's performance is basically clown acting, Jordy is still one of the most sympathetic characters in the movie, and one of the few who does not deserve he gets. | |

The Swedish group Rednex assumes the identities and dress style of extremely stereotypical American hillbillies, and their biggest hit, "Cotton-Eyed Joe", is a techno rendition of an old Southern folk song. Suffice to say, the band doesn't exactly exude intelligence or dignity. | |

Preacher has a family of one-eyed inbred hillbillies who are among the most kind-hearted. The others are definitely in the Hillbilly Horrors genre, including a trio of cave-dwelling cannibals and a compulsive rapist of anything that moves (and some things that don't, including a birthday cake). | |

The Hillbilly Moment segment of The Amanda Show made a Running Gag of this trope. The female Hillbilly would tell the beginning of the knock-knock joke, and when the male asked "who's there," he'd get hit in the head with the item mention in the joke's beginning. Then both would laugh and declare "that's a good one". They were both portrayed with low intelligence, but the boy Hillbilly deserves special mention for falling for the same joke every episode. | |

The Kanker Sisters from Ed, Edd n Eddy encompass a myriad of redneck stereotypes, such as living in a trailer park with a single mother and turning out they're inbred. May is the most obvious with her Southern accent, buck-teeth and easily being the dumbest of the trio. They also torment the neighborhood kids and sexually harass the protagonists, making them a trio of half-witted hellbillies. | |

Duke brings this up in The Critic when he first meets Jay's new assistant Alice. Both of them speak with a southern accent, and he notes how southerners have to work extra hard in New York because as soon as people hear them talk, they're immediately dismissed as illiterate, country bumpkins. In actuality, both of them subvert this trope since neither one is remotely dim, although Duke is very eccentric at times. | |
