What's the easiest way to tell someone is a Pirate? If he's named "Long John"! Pirates in fiction have a strong tendency to be named some variation of "Long John Silver", whether it's directly calling him "Long John X" or more of an indirect parody like "Short Jennie Barnacles." This is a Shout-Out to the infamous pirate from Treasure Island, of course, although it doesn't have to be a Whole-Plot Reference as such. Robert Louis Stevenson's novel did a lot to codify most of the Pirate Tropes we know and love today, not least the character's other attributes of a Pirate Parrot and Seadog Peg Leg (despite Long John not having a peg leg in the original book). Even the Talk Like a Pirate trope can be traced directly to Robert Newton's iconic performance as Silver in the 1950 film adaptation. As such, any callback to Long John's name makes the perfect piratical finishing touch. Sister Trope to Captain Colorbeard. See also Dressed to Plunder. |

The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: Tigger imagines himself as the pirate "Long John Tigger", during a fantasy in the episode "Babysitter Blues". In the episode "Rabbit Marks the Spot", Rabbit claims that a false treasure map that he created belonged to his rabbit pirate ancestor Long John Cottontail. At the end of the episode, the real Long John Cottontail shows up, scaring Pooh and the others away, much to Rabbit's confusion. |

In Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, the writers clearly intended Jack Sparrow to be this, characterizing him as a Trickster Mentor to Will (the film's actual protagonist) who was constantly switching sides between heroes and villains, and even shared the same initials as Cpt. Silver - J.S. Johnny Depp ended up taking the character in more of a Cloudcuckoolander direction, however, eschewing the obvious Robert Newton influence that usually comes with this trope. | |
