On one end of the social spectrum, we have The Upper Crass, Aristocrats Are Evil, and Upper-Class Twit proving that money doesn't make good people. But that doesn't mean a lack of money does the same. Coarse, vulgar, ignorant, violent, bigoted, scheming, theft-prone, disproportionately proud of the few non-contemptible traits that they have to their names (most of which are basic requirements for being considered a decent person), disdainful of any desire or attempt to better oneself, and generally greatly at odds with propriety, they are not exemplary members of society by any stretch of the imagination. They will frequently live in a Trashy Trailer Home. The representatives of this trope sometimes appear alone, but more frequently as gangs. They may be politically motivated (such as the fighting organizations of the communists, fascists, and Nazis), out of spite (such as the skinheads), to rebel against the (perceived) authorities such as the greasers and mods, or just for the kicks. The extremists may be there For the Evulz. This trope deals with the various varieties of lout, hooligan, and delinquent that appear in various media. While these stereotypes are Truth in Television to some degree, it's debatable whether the stereotype comes from Real Life, or said real-life examples are imitating the stereotype. A typical Lower-Class Lout is a teenager or young adult (it's very common for such examples to also be Psychopathic Manchildren), with the occasional Enfant Terrible, who embodies the worst stereotypes of the working class (or middle class). One variant of this type would be the the Brownshirts of the Nazi Party Sturmabteilungen (SA) and the Ku Klux Klan, who were recruited from the lower layers of German and white American working classes respectively and who were used to terrorize the political opponents. Because of what these stereotypes imply, subversions/aversions/invocations etc. are almost as common as straight examples, with a snobby or elitist character being established as such by having them accuse a sympathetic character of being one of these. Various parts of the world have their own individual versions. Indeed, it's an interesting fact of criminal-sociology that nearly every society in the world with urban and youth culture has a certain stratum of "difficult" young people, especially men, which draw attention in popular culture. Most of the time they are small fry compared to other villains and become mere Bit-Part Bad Guys, however, depending on the scale of the story, they can conceivably as well be the main antagonists. Groups often stereotyped as Lower Class Louts with their own article include: Addled Addict The Aggressive Drug Dealer All Bikers are Hells Angels Angry White Man Army of Thieves and Whores Bandit Clan Black Market Dealers The Bogan Boorish Americans Brooklyn Rage Brownshirts The Cartel City Proles Crass Canuck Criminals-Turned-Workers Crooked Contractor Crazy Homeless People Residents of the Deep South Delinquents Deranged Taxi Driver Dublin Skanger Fighting Irish Residents of Florida Football Hooligans Fraudulent Salesmen Gangbangers Greaser Delinquents Half-Witted Hillbilly Hillbilly Horrors Horror Hippies Hostile Hitchhiker Illegal Brewers The Irish Mob Japanese Delinquents Residents of Joisey Junkie Parent The Klan London Gangster Residents of Northern England Northern Irish and Nasty People from Osaka Pickpocketers Pirates Predatory Prostitute The Psychotic Prole The Quincy Punk Roguish Romani Rural Gangsters Ruthless Foreign Gangsters Ruthless Modern Pirates Satisfied Street Rat Scooter-Riding Mod Single Mom Stripper Skinheads Small-Town Tyrant Soldiers for hire Southern-Fried Private Southies Teenage parents "Ugly American" Stereotype Violent Glaswegian Violent Drug Addicts Vodka Drunkenski White Gangbangers Yakuza The Yardies Younger examples are almost always The Bully. Because of the class-based origins of the stereotype, expect the moral of any story they appear in to lean towards Eat the Rich or Kill the Poor. Contrast the Upper-Class Twit, The Upper Crass, and Aristocrats Are Evil (for when the rich are vilified), Wicked Cultured and Man of Wealth and Taste (for villains who are cultured and classy), and Working-Class Hero. Nouveau Riche often overlaps with this when their financial situation changes for the better but their behavior doesn't.

Aquaman (2018): Aquaman himself is a subversion. He is brash, loud, hard-drinking, and hard-brawling and seems most comfortable being the king of the pub crawl, and he isn’t above playing up these traits to mess with people who think this is unworthy of a prince of Atlantis. However, under the façade is a keen mind, cultivated by both his father (implied to be a voracious reader and keen autodidact by the look of his home) and his mother’s advisor Nuidis Vulko. By the time the film rolls around, he is conversant in at least five languages and able to tell who Roman statues are meant to be off at a glance. | |

Girls und Panzer has a downplayed example with Rosehip of St. Gloriana Academy. She's a commoner in an Aristocrat Team and has a bit of difficulty in matching her upperclassmen's elegance and manners, though she certainly gives it her all. It's implied that the reason why she wasn't present during the practice match with Oarai was because the alumni didn't approve of her less-than-graceful temperament. | |

Many of the guests on Maury, especially the out-of-control teenage girls who try to have babies when they're 14, steal hundreds of dollars worth of items (often stuff for their potential babies), beat up people, treat their (almost always single) mothers like garbage, drink, do drugs, curse up a storm, and appear on the show in ridiculously revealing clothing. To make things worse, they often gloat about their trashy behavior. | |

The Gang in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, despite the fact that both Dennis and Dee went to the University of Pennsylvania (Dee didn't graduate, though). They're all alcoholic scumbags. Dennis and Dee were born into a rich family. But due to the gang's failing business, they are currently broke. They think they're classy and justify it by saying class is something you're born into (ie. people born into money are classy), but for all their pretensions, they were clearly never classy to begin with. Mac is a fundamentalist Christian and a self-loathing homophobe. He used to deal drugs to his classmates. His father was a meth dealer who was in prison throughout his childhood while his mother was a negligent chain-smoking racist. Charlie is the ditziest of the group. It's implied to be because his mom tried to have an abortion while pregnant with him (and smothered him like crazy), combined with the various harmful substances he takes. Frank invoked this trope because he wanted to live the gang's depraved lifestyle. |

The Simpsons: Although most of Springfield's residents are middle-class or higher, there are a few of these. Cletus and Brandine Spuckler are stereotypical hillbillies, living in a run-down shack with 26 children, and occasionally some other relatives as well. Speaking of relatives, they are (Depending on the Writer) either siblings or cousins. Cletus is perpetually unemployed, while Brandine is (variously) a stripper, a Dairy Queen worker, or a soldier fighting in the War on Terror. Both are uneducated, as well. Barney Gumble is an alcoholic, never seems to hold down a job for very long, is perpetually single, and lives in a run-down apartment. In another episode, Lisa has an Imagine Spot of herself when she fears that she is getting dumber. In it, she is an adult, morbidly obese, and married to Ralph Wiggum, who works at a fast-food restaurant. They have several children, and Lisa spends all day in a hammock in a run-down trailer home watching Soap Operas. She does not like what she sees, and freaks out when Homer calls her "angel-pie" in the "real" world, which was her pet-name for Ralph in her Imagine Spot. |

Captain Cold grew up poor white trash with a violent, abusive drunk of a father and a mother who enabled it. He sees his upbringing for what it was, but bringing it up around him and especially using it as an insult is a personal Berserk Button of his and is a great way to find yourself having a very bad day. | |

A Canadian version is the cartoon Kevin Spencer. Kevin is a teenager with chronic substance abuse problems, serious mental health issues up to and including an Imaginary Friend that spurs him to commit crimes, is The Sociopath and openly proud of it, and has a long criminal record which he commits partly for gain and partly For the Evulz. His parents are no better - his father Percy is a chronic jailbird and his mother Anastasia Really Gets Around, have the same substance abuse problems and criminal tendencies as Kevin, and laugh at his mental illness instead of getting him treatment. | |

The setting of Idiocracy is a dystopian future in which Lower-Class Lout culture proliferated and took over, producing a world in which an average Joe from The Present Day would be the smartest man alive by default because everyone else is a brain-dead idiot. The aesthetic of the world can best be described as a cyberpunk trailer park. | |

Leanne Platter in King of the Hill is a drunk, violent, abusive, promiscuous, irresponsible, childish, leeching, and overall repulsive white trash loser. The woman destroys everything she touches and leaves incredible amounts of chaos and strife wherever she goes, plays the victim whenever one of her many horrible acts blows up in her face, and gleefully exploits Bill's loneliness and Luanne's desperate desire to have some kind of relationship with her own mother for her own selfish, short-sighted gain so she can continue to live the same destructive and parasitic existence she's carried out since she was a teenager. | |

Married... with Children features the Bundys, especially patriarch Al. Al Bundy is a Jaded Washout (even being the former Trope Namer for that) who's extremely bitter about being stuck in a Soul-Sucking Retail Job instead of playing pro football like he wanted to, regularly insults the fat women he has to serve, regularly attends strip clubs, has a long-running feud with his Straw Feminist neighbor, constantly leers at attractive women young enough to be his daughters, and revels in his crude political incorrectness. His wife Peggy and their kids Kelly and Bud are no better, being just as crude and criminal as Al. Notably, they're all proud of this. | |

By Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dudley Dursley has basically turned into one of these. Ironically, his parents have been, throughout the whole series, a terrible example (more like a parody) of the lower end of middle-class who make a special effort to distinguish themselves from the working class. | |

Roland Schitt from Schitt's Creek is not only the mayor of the town, his lack of manners and taste embodies the Rose family's worst fears about the town.

While Black Lagoon's Roanapur is an entire city full of these, Revy stands out the most. She grew up in a poor trashy household with a violent, abusive drunkard for a father whom she murdered, has had a significant amount of contact with law enforcement prior to coming to Roanapur, and is homicidally violent, incredibly foul-mouthed, rather racist, alcoholic, chain-smoking, and money-grubbing, on top of wearing revealing clothes. | |

Lamb of God wrote "Again We Rise" as a potshot at Southerners who celebrate the Confederacy, saying that most of them are lower-class degenerates in search of a cause and that, if push ever came to shove and the South did rise again, they'd be the cannon fodder and the first to die. | |

Arcane: This is the default view of people from Piltover on the people of the Undercity. The assumption is that everyone down there is a criminal. Of course, there are people like Deckard who really do fit the stereotype. | |

Stanley Barber on I Am Not Okay With This believes that all the men in his family are like this, and hopes that he can break the "Barber curse". His father is a Jaded Washout who went from homecoming king in '91 to a truck driver who Stan would rather not have around; when we're introduced to him in the fourth episode, he's sitting on the couch watching football, drinking a beer, and telling Stan "you look like a faggot." | |

Coronation Street being a working-class soap has played with this trope every possible way over the past 60 years. Most of the characters have at least some aspects of it, especially the men. Combine it with Jerk with a Heart of Gold and you get a Corrie "Hardman" (Len Fairclough, Jim MacDonald, Peter Barlow) or a zany schemer give you the "Chancer" (Stan Ogden, Jack Duckworth, Tim Metcalf). Usually, the success of these characters depends on how well the character shows their Hidden Depths. | |

Jerry Cruncher in A Tale of Two Cities. He's a working-class moron whose abusive relationship with his wife is played for laughs. A Running Gag is his "spiky" hair, which suggests a disheveled appearance. Throughout the story, he's contrasted with the erudite main characters. | |

The Ewells from To Kill a Mockingbird are classic white trash, living in the city dump. While most of the kids are decent people just suffering from a combination of their horrible living situation and social isolation, father Robert "Bob" E. Lee Ewell is every negative stereotype about poor southern whites in one man- he's an Abusive Parent who's implied to molest his oldest daughter Mayella, a Politically Incorrect Villain even for the time and place, an alcoholic, and his hygiene is so bad that people are reluctant to even shake his hand. He mostly subsists on poaching, which is the only thing keeping his children from starving because he spends all his welfare checks on whiskey. | |

The entire premise of both the UK original and American remake versions of Shameless. They both center around the Gallagher family and later on (moreso in the UK version due to Long-Runner Cast Turnover) their neighbors, who live in a rough neighborhood on the Wrong Side of the Tracks (the fictional Chatsworth Estate housing projects in Manchester for the UK version, south side Chicago for the US version). Thing is, they do try to better their station in life to varying degrees, and do make some progress, though their worse natures and occasional self-sabotage put a big damper in that. | |

J. D. Vance's memoir Hillbilly Elegy is a scathing portrait of this trope, specifically as manifested in Appalachian "hillbilly" culture. Some highlights he describes of his upbringing in southern Ohio and Kentucky include watching welfare recipients talk on cell phones that he couldn't afford, a man who quit his job because he didn't like having to wake up so early and then ranted on social media about the "Obama economy", a co-worker with a pregnant girlfriend who would regularly skip work and ultimately lost a well-paying job with health insurance because of it, and his mother's problems with drug addiction and multiple failed relationships — and through it all, a common thread of refusal to take responsibility for their own problems, instead seeking out scapegoats. He describes hillbilly culture as one that has a lot to admire about it, but which is also characterized by fatalism, avoiding uncomfortable truths, hyper-aggressive masculinity in response to perceived slights, a Christian faith that is more interested in culture war issues than moral teachings, and an extreme parochialism that discourages ambition, and which easily slid into a cycle of social decay similar to the black inner cities during the crack epidemic once the economy went south. | |

A Canadian example occurs in Trailer Park Boys with pretty much all the inhabitants of Sunnyvale Trailer Park. They regularly abuse alcohol and/or cannabis, commit various crimes ranging from fraud to armed robbery to illegal drug dealing to earn a living, use casual profanity and regularly get into fights with each other. However, they also have various redeeming qualities such as trying to be Good Parents to their kids, True Companions with each other, and even Enemy Mine alliances against anyone who doesn't live in the park and gives its residents grief. | |

Deconstructed in No Beast So Fierce by Max Dembo. Max is a poor, crass, and foul-mouthed ex-convict and petty criminal, but he's actually a well-read, intelligent man who took advantage of his stay in prison to educate himself. Unfortunately, both the societal stigma against ex-cons like himself and the threat of homelessness force him to resort back to crime, and he's shown to be much more self-aware and slightly more moral than the upper class criminals and lawmen he frequently finds himself entangled with. | |

Pygmalion and its musical adaptation My Fair Lady chronicle Eliza Doolittle's transformation from this, an ill-mannered cockney flower girl, to a splendid lady worthy of dancing with a prince, under the tutelage of the pompous Professor Higgins. A more traditional example is given in her father Alfred, a lazy trash collector who happily sponges off anyone he can, to the point where characters will immediately address him with "Not a brass farthing." When he does get the money he immediately spends it on beer. It's also outright stated that he abandoned Eliza early on and is a lousy dad the sporadic times he is in her life. After a conversation, Higgins declares that Alfred's unconventional philosophy of amoral hedonism is actually ingenious and gets him in touch with an American millionaire interested in morality. After the American dies, he leaves Alfred enough money to move himself up to middle class, which Alfred resents because it obligates him to officially marry his common-law wife. | |

In Doctor Who Cassandra invokes the "snob calling someone a chav" version towards Rose while engaging in Grand Theft Me against her. This does invoke some Fridge Logic since she was supposed to be of Texan/Alaskan decent, not British. This line got a laugh from an audience of overseas buyers who almost certainly didn't know the word "chav". |

In end, the militarists are able to win a temporary reprieve for the world's last nuclear power plant — at the cost of a brilliant scientist who made mustard gas to kill the attackers instead of insulin for his own diabetes — but it's clear that unless a hard-line campaign to destroy the attackers begins immediately, the plant will be destroyed.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - in "Band Candy", cursed chocolate reverts responsible adults into addle-minded teen mentalities, including Giles, who goes from Queen's English speaking model of decorum to a consonant-dropping, impulsive, violent hood. Fandom speculates on how much of this he actually was in his youth. This is how Spike acts, part punk rocker and part North London thug. Before being turned, he was an upper-class, sappy, artistic momma's boy, and took on the working-class tough guy persona after becoming a vampire. |

The Dickinson family from Run is this, with many of them being white trash and despised by the rest of Mursey. Bo and her brother Colt seem to be the only exceptions. | |

Rachel's foster parents in The Rage: Carrie 2 are a pair of white-trash ingrates who only took her in because the foster system pays them $300 per month to do so, and are about as neglectful with her as one can imagine given such motives. It's one of many reasons why she's an outcast at her school. | |

Halley in The Florida Project, a short-tempered and irresponsible single mother who lives in a cheap motel in Kissimmee, Florida, can't hold down a job, and frequently leaves her daughter Moonee (who she likely had as a teenager) unsupervised. That said, she does genuinely love her daughter and will go to great lengths to keep her safe. | |

Jan Valentine from Hellsing is pretty much your stereotypical chav... with vampiric abilities. This serves as a contrast to his brother Luke, who's a sophisticated dandy. | |
