Our Country Mouse character is young, idealistic, innocent, naive, you name it—and it's their first time in the big city. How to show that? Why, by him or her being confronted with any combination of pickpocketing, prostitution and generally upsetting behaviour, of course. And the sooner the better, often right as they step off the train/plane/coach/boat from whatever idyllic rural paradise they came from. It doesn't always have to be criminal activity, mere nuisances and constant hustle will suffice as well. Expect that they'll have their sleep rudely disturbed by rowdy nightclubbers, obnoxious neighbors, construction work, subway trains (or all of the above) and to be overwhelmed by crowds and traffic every time they step outside. New York City is a popular venue for this. |

Sure enough, as soon as she arrives, she gets confronted with a sleazy cab driver making creepy comments towards her, which makes her so uncomfortable that she ditches him. | |

Discworld: In Soul Music, Imp Y Celyn moves from Llamedos to Ankh-Morpork, and tries some busking. As buskers do, he puts a few coins in his bowl as "seed money". The next time he looks down, they've gone. Carrot's arrival in Ankh in Guards! Guards!; he doesn't get robbed himself, but he doesn't cope well with the idea that theft is legal (and that the Watch are probably closer to criminals than the Thieves' Guild are). Although he's so naive he doesn't notice the prostitution, even when he's staying at Mrs. Palm's. In Thief of Time, Lu Tze says the first thing that happened to him in Ankh-Morpork was he learned "a valuable lesson in the ridiculousness of material things" when some people took it upon themselves to "welcome" him to the city in this way. |

He's robbed several times (once by a police officer), has a bird eat his hot dog, has garbage dumped on him by Woody Allen and is chased around by an angry pimp. In "Dancin' Homer", the first thing Homer sees when coming to Capital City is an old lady being robbed on the sidewalk. He slows the car down so the whole family can gawk at it like a landmark. |

The Night's Dawn Trilogy. When Louise Kavanagh and her sister first arrive on Earth a criminal is shown incredulous at the offworlders' lack of attention to their surroundings. He deftly steals their luggage without them noticing only to be murdered by the agents who are secretly protecting her. As several more criminals are discretely disposed of when they try robbing the couple, the agents' superiors can't help exchanging snarky comments over the high crime rate (despite the fact that they secretly rule Earth). | |

Downplayed in Heralds Of Rhimn. Crislie gets singled out by an Irongardhe priest for some preaching and pickpocketed by Meparik almost immediately after entering Talimour, but doesn’t notice the latter until she’s out shopping with Inkantik — at which point she’s annoyed that Navaeli was right for warning her about pickpockets. | |

In My Sister Eileen and its musical version Wonderful Town, Ruth and Eileen are just handing over their first month's rent to Mr. Appopolous when a tremendous explosion is heard from underneath—it's blasting for a new subway. Appopolous tries to tell them that they'll get used to it, but the sisters say they want their money back. He tells them: "Listen—in New York you either live, A, over a subway, or, B, where they're building a subway, or C, you don't live in New York!" After he makes a bargain with them and leaves, Eileen tells Ruth that maybe they should have tried Cleveland first. They try to get some sleep on their all too stiff beds, but are repeatedly roused by impolite forms of city life, as well as further booms from below. It doesn't help that Ruth's bed is directly under the street lamp, with no window shade to block the light. | |

Many versions of Superman, both in the comics and in TV and movies, depict Clark Kent's arrival in Metropolis as being a little overwhelming (at least initially) for the small town Kansas-raised protagonist, who is often portrayed as being shocked by the city residents' apathy, which stands in stark contrast to the attitudes of his neighbors back in Smallville, Kansas. However, Clark inevitably gets over the shock pretty quickly. In Geoff Johns's Secret Origin, he bumps into a woman while looking at the skyscrapers. He tries to apologise, but the woman just snaps that people in Metropolis don't go around staring into the sky... | |

The Legend of Korra's première episode is aptly named, "Welcome to Republic City". In it, Korra, who has spent her life sheltered in a compound in in the South Pole, goes to the bustling Republic City, only to learn that it's not all it's cracked up to be. She is literally "fresh off the boat". (Though true to form, it's not her that gets traumatized; instead she ends up in a police station getting the concept of vigilantism-as-crime explained to her). | |

In Soul Music, Imp Y Celyn moves from Llamedos to Ankh-Morpork, and tries some busking. As buskers do, he puts a few coins in his bowl as "seed money". The next time he looks down, they've gone. | |

Mega Man Battle Network: In one of the games, Lan travels from Electopia (read: Japan) to Netopia (which is pretty obviously a stand-in for America), and gets robbed the moment he steps off the plane. Then he gets robbed again. Then he has to go to the ghetto and fight a Scary Black Man (using only the crappy chips he has left) to track down his stuff. In the fourth game's visit to Netopia, Lan gets chloroformed and locked in a hotel room by some thugs who intend to ransom him off, and has to escape. It winds up invoked, the guy's a tournament official and the staff was in on it, they were testing his ingenuity and capabilities in a real world crisis, and it's implied they did this to the other contestants if they could get away with it. |

In Laura Bow II: The Dagger of Amon Ra, Laura is immediately mugged after stepping off the train into New York City, forcing her to navigate the first arc of the game without money or identification. The mugger takes advantage of her naivete by initially posing as someone in need of a handout. | |

Referenced in How I Met Your Mother. Marshall and Lily settled on having an outdoor ceremony for their upcoming wedding, but they had to change their plans as Marshal's dad was certain they would get mugged if they stayed outdoor in New York. Marshal's family comes from a small town in Minnesota. | |

The first thing the title character in Merlin (who starts off as a teenager in this version) saw when he arrived at Camelot is the execution of a magic user, and he was born having magic. | |

Alice's sister on The Critic gets a similar treatment when she arrives in New York from Knoxville. She doesn't even make it off the bus before someone shoves her down. It gets worse when she later steps out of Alice's apartment for all of five seconds and returns covered in graffiti, among other things. | |

Across the Universe (2007): "Come Together" is used as a song about this when Jojo first arrives in New York. Nothing bad actually happens to him, but he's obviously traumatized. | |

Carrot's arrival in Ankh in Guards! Guards!; he doesn't get robbed himself, but he doesn't cope well with the idea that theft is legal (and that the Watch are probably closer to criminals than the Thieves' Guild are). Although he's so naive he doesn't notice the prostitution, even when he's staying at Mrs. Palm's. | |
