The All-American Boy	comment	This species has seldom been seen in recent decades, and naturalists have put it on the endangered species list. The All-American boy is male, almost always white, often blond-haired, sometimes brunette, but always blue-eyed; add buckteeth and Youthful Freckles for extra appeal. He loves baseball, apple pie, his mother, his pet dog, and Jesus; he has aptitude with rural machinery and firearms far beyond his years. He's known to emit sounds like "Jeepers!" and "Gee Whiz!". The All-American boy makes his home in Everytown, America, in the heart of Eagleland, within which he is as free as the air, pedaling everywhere on his bicycle or spending hours having innocent fun in his treehouse. He is naive but charming and always polite (the worst he dishes out is "You shut up!"), and he treats his parents (who most likely are a Standard '50s Father and a House Wife) and other elders with respect. He is probably a Boy Scout (or a Cub Scout if still in elementary school). If he has a sibling, it will be an older brother to idolize or a little sister to protect — perhaps both. It is likely that he and his family will be Minnesota Nice. There are variants of this trope. The geeky variant is similarly characterized by ingenuity, self-reliance, and wholesomeness, but he applies his interest to at-home science experiments and the like, and wears Nerd Glasses. The high-school variety wears a letterman's sweater, plays football or baseball, and spends his off hours using his mechanical skills to restore an old car. You might have a "wilder" boy with a mischievous streak in him, but he'll grow out of it eventually and become the fine, upstanding man his parents raised him to be. An All-American boy often gets a job as a Kid Detective. If he joins the military when he grows up he will almost inevitably become a Southern-Fried Private. He may want to see more of the world and venture into The City, but expect him to return to his hometown, disillusioned with the citygoers' air of cynicism and greed. Your All-American Boy will almost certainly marry his high school sweetheart, and then settle down to raise a family, with at least one son just like him. The closest Distaff Counterpart would probably be Girl Next Door. Likely grows up to be the All-American Face. Examples

The All-American Boy / int_15d05f51	comment	The Hardy Boys: Friendly, very handsome, mostly well-behaved teenage boys who are polite and respectful to their elders by default. They have harmless mischievous sides, excel at sports, get good grades, and are liked by most of their schoolmates. This is especially true in the older series, where their personalities were more similar to each other and more generic. And, of course, they're a quintessential example of Kid Detectives.

The All-American Boy / int_400469e	comment	Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes is an interesting subversion, fitting some but not all, of the characteristics, and parodying the rest. He is white, blond-haired, and blue-eyed, but dislikes baseball (after being injured playing it). He lives is Everytown, America, which appears to be somewhere in the Midwest (borrowing many elements from Watterson's home town of Chagrin Falls, Ohio), but set around 30 years after the trope's prime, in the 1980s. He uses words like 'heck', 'darn', and rarely 'gee(z)' as opposed to actual swearing, but has a much more macabre sense of humour (as shown in his snowmen and his picture of a squadron of B1's nuking New York, among other things) really wants a flamethrower, and is more cynical and less nice than the typical straight example. He is disrespectful to parents, teachers, etc., inattentive to school work, and behaves anything but respectfully or courteously to girls, with Susie being the butt of pranks. He does participate in cub scout events, but tends to get lost and hang out with Hobbes. He is generally quite independent, also has a treehouse, and spends a lot of time outside in the woods. However, he also enjoys the more indoor, less wholesome hobby of television-watching much to his father's (who probably lived in The '50s) dissaproval. He also hates camping and is averse to anything that is likely to build character.

In Coreline Invasion Of Portland, the main superhero team of Coreline's Portland, Aegis, is led by an alt of obscure Marvel character Giovanni "Jack" Magniconte. This alt is established to be a modern version of the trope. He is even literally codenamed "All-American", as a reference to being an American football player.

The All-American Boy / int_b1072514	comment	The film version of Forrest Gump starts out like this as a child, although he is unlike most examples in that he is mentally disabled, and the film usually depicts the world he lives in as mundane, dark, and often tragic.

The All-American Boy / int_cd5cc48c	comment	In Coreline Invasion Of Portland, the main superhero team of Coreline's Portland, Aegis, is led by an alt of obscure Marvel character Giovanni "Jack" Magniconte. This alt is established to be a modern version of the trope. He is even literally codenamed "All-American", as a reference to being an American football player.

The All-American Boy / int_e081af79	comment	The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! — As the epitome of stereotypical American averageness, it's not very surprising when we see that Bob's childhood was more or less like this — when his life starts flashing before his eyes when he's at death's door in the Cone arc.

The All-American Boy / int_e2635bcb	comment	Gleefully parodied by The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (Jacques and Raymond), who are both French-Canadians. As part of their 1988 Heel Turn, they sided with manager Jimmy Hart, claimed to be from Memphis, Tennessee and would carry little American Flags with them to the ring. Their "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune was called "All-American Boys" and the second verse included the lyrics, "On peut pas les sentir/Dans le monde ils sont les pires/On aime les faire facher quand qu'on dit 'We love the USA'." The French lyrics translated to "We can't stand them/They are the worst in the world/We like to anger them when we say 'We love the USA'." This elevated what may have appeared to be a standard Funny Foreigner act to something nastier for the benefit of French-speaking fans.

The All-American Boy / int_fe8ef766	comment	Steve Rogers (aka Captain America): In one way he pretty much fits the general personality of this trope, although he was a terrible athlete as a child, in large part due to his Geek Physique. After he got the Super-Soldier Serum, he was able to embody the trope even more. By contrast his childhood is the exact opposite as the child of Irish immigrants growing up in the slums of NYC during the Great Depression. Steve's complex like that.
