* Murdoc Niccals of ''{{Gorillaz}}'' fame.

** In ''[[GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas San Andreas]]'' you meet up with two characters associated with a band who are largely parodies of this trope. The lead singer's name is [[TheBeatles Maccer]].

* The British producer/rock star Bruce Dickinson (not to be confused with [[IronMaiden the real]] Music/BruceDickinson, who is also British) from the [[MemeticMutation famous]] ''Saturday Night Live'' sketch "Needs More Cowbell".

* The British producer/rock star Bruce Dickinson (not to be confused with [[IronMaiden the real]] BruceDickinson, who is also British) from the [[MemeticMutation famous]] ''Saturday Night Live'' sketch "Needs More Cowbell".

* Appeared in ''ChipAndDaleRescueRangers'' involving a British rock band who were locked in their room by the villainess who wore a bee costume, could command bees, and considered herself a musician. While in their dressing room, they spoke in received British pronunciation, had tea, and showed that the show's writers DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch regarding language in a children's show.

* ''RockStar''

* Lord Raptor from ''{{Darkstalkers}}''.
** Well, he's actually ''Australian'', but close enough.

* Screamin' Lord Byron in the music video/short film ''Jazzin' for Blue Jean'' (1984) may be far more glamourous than the norm, but he still lives a wild lifestyle (when your entourage has oxygen tanks and B12 vitamins at the ready...), can be snobby to the help, and is a quivering wreck when the protagonist, who is trying to maintain a CelebrityLie, literally falls into his dressing room. And [[Main/ActingForTwo both characters]] are played by DavidBowie, [[Main/AdamWesting a real life example of this trope]] and TheRockStar, period.

* The British producer/rock star Bruce Dickinson (not to be confused with [[IronMaiden the real]] BruceDickinson, who is also British) from the [[MemeticMutation famous]] Saturday Night Live sketch "Needs More Cowbell".

* The British producer/rock star Bruce Dickinson (not to be confused with [[IronMaiden the real Bruce Dickinson]], who is also British) from the [[MemeticMutation famous]] Saturday Night Live sketch "Needs More Cowbell".

A subtrope of TheRockStar, who is (usually) a more positive, glamorous figure.

[[AC:{{Anime and Manga}}]]
* ''AxisPowersHetalia'' covers this briefly but nicely with, well, [[CaptainObvious England...]]

* On the ''CaliforniaRaisins'' TV specials, the Raisins' main rival is a Mick Jagger-esque rocker named Lick Broccoli.

* Ben Sergeant in ''TamaraDrewe''.

* Lord Raptor from ''{{Darkstalkers}}''

TheBritishInvasion helped cement British artists as big players in the international market. As such many bands or singers found in media will turn out British. They're generally of the Metal or Rock genre with horrible fashion sense, accents that aren't the Queen's English, more likely to be Liverpudlian or Mancunian. They take Lots of drugs, lots of booze and are slightly dimm. Oh and they have lots of sex with groupies but that's less of a British thing and more of a [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll famous band thing]].

* The most famous example would be in ''ThisIsSpinalTap''.
* There are several examples in the ''GrandTheftAuto'' series;
** In ''GTA:VC'' you must escort a band that is very similar to SpinalTap around.
** IN ''GTA:SA'' you meet up with two British rock-stars that are an amalgamation of a lot of different Northern English rock groups. The lead singer's name is [[TheBeatles Maccer]].
** Also in ''GTA'', ''Liberty City Stories'' has Crow, an ahead-of-his-time, egotistical humanitarian crusader.

* On ''TheSimpsons'' when Bart gets a guitar he has an ImagineSpot where he becomes one of these.
-->I'd [[FunetikAksent loik to play me latest chaht-toppah]]. It's called, "Me Fans Are Stupid Pigs."

* Lord Raptor, From ''{{Darkstalkers}}''

* ''DeadRising2'' has a trio of heavy rockers that mistook the zombie horde for fans. Well it's not that much of a stretch to be fair. They had such lines as "Oi mate get off the bloody stage" and "Zombies? Blimey!"

* ''2000AD'' had ''{{Zenith}}'', a British 80's superhero-cum-rockstar who fit almost all the negative aspects of this trope.

* In ''JustShootMe'' one of the female cast has a washed up British pop-star as a boyfriend.

* ''2000AD'' had ''{{Zenith}}'', a British 80's superhero-cum-rockstar who fit almost all the negative aspects of this trope.

* The ''JimmyNeutron'' episode where Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl start a rock band has Carl adopting a fake British accent at one point.
