* ''Series/{{Scared Straight}}'' the original and ''Series/{{Scared Straight 99}},'' even way more, also exaggerated the black vernacular New York accent for purpose of being menacing. The program is in Rahway State Prison, in Patterson, NJ, right across the Arthur Kill from Staten Island. Confused foreigners: look [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scared_Straight! here]] on Wiki/TheOtherWiki.

* Iggy, a Stand-Using Boston Terrier in ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'', was found by Avdol in New York, and his introduction to the crusader was him jumping out of the helicopter and trying to rip the hair out of Polnareff's head and then farting right in his face. He also has an independent streak, acting like he doesn't care about the other crusaders, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold though willing to save an innocent boy from the vicious falcon Pet Shop]] and [[spoiler:sacrificing himself to save Polnareff]]. Fittingly, the dub of the 2012 anime gives him a Brooklyn accent for his inner thoughts.

* Comic Book legend Creator/JackKirby (who ''himself'' exemplified this trope in real life) created a lot of characters in this mold, including [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Benjamin J. "Thing" Grimm]] and Dan "Terrible" Turpin, who in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' responds to Comicbook/{{Darkseid}}'s planet-wide [[BreakThemByTalking Breaking Speech]] by ''insulting Darkseid to his face'' and proceeding to free Franchise/{{Superman}}. Also "Brooklyn" of the Boy Commandos, later retconned as being a young Dan Turpin.

* Comicbook/TheAvengers have the villain Comicbook/{{Taskmaster}} from the Bronx, and in some appearances he still has an accent. (Appearances without the accent are not an error, however; the character is a mimic and can alter his mannerisms as he pleases.)
* Comicbook/CaptainAmerica is from the Lower East Side (Brooklyn [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse in the movies]]). He doesn't seem to have the "rage" (usually) because he's very disciplined. However, he definitely has the determination and adamant refusal to back down from fighting the bad guys that comes with this trope.
* The Comicbook/NewWarriors member "[[AngryBlackMan Rage]]" is literally from Brooklyn.

* ''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/SHIELDDirectors Nick Fury]]'', is this almost to the point of parody. He's from Hell's Kitchen, a legendary temper, and has a resume that includes boxer, barnstormer, WWII commando, CIA agent during the cold war, and SHIELD director.

* Rocket Raccoon from ''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy}}'' has a slight Brooklyn accent provided by actor Bradley Cooper. Watch out- Rocket's been [[BewareTheNiceOnes known to shoot people when he's angry]].

* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''

* [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]]'S [[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys Bully Ray]]. His rage is apparently infectous, as he claims he can cause riots in New York with just his words.

* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros''

* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanet'': Oh, Wheeler. Being the token American, and a bit of a {{Jerkass}}. He's the first of the bunch who is willing to make a direct strike, the first to charge into danger, and the first to tell the villain of the week where to stuff their stupid plan. Naturally, he's got the [[KillItWithFire Fire ring]].

* The {{Blaxploitation}} classic ''Film/{{Shaft}}'' focuses on a New York private eye who initiates a one-man battle against Da Mob in Harlem. The remake dials it UpToEleven by casting Samuel L. Motherfu(shut your mouth!) Jackson as the detective.

* Also to be expected from time to time on ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' which is set in New York. As far as main characters, Danny Messer can fit this at times. He's settled a little since becoming a family man, but he still has his short temper and liability to explode from time to time. He tries to restrain it at work, but not always successfully. And he'll take it UpToEleven if you [[PapaWolf go after Lindsay and Lucy]]. Stella fell into it from time to time as well, and so did Aiden Burn. Another character is Sonny Sassone, who was a villain in two episodes.
* On ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'', Robert Goren, who is from Brooklyn ([[ActorAllusion as is his actor]]), generally averts this trope. When he plays the [[GoodCopBadCop bad cop]], however, he turns his Brooklyn accent UpToEleven, just to play into it.

* Creator/DennisLeary once declared: "People from New York, we wear that fact on our sleeve like badge because we know it impresses people. 'I was in Vietnam.' So what? I live in New York! 'Really?! Wow.'"

* And of course, one of the most intimidating women in television, born in Brooklyn in October 1942, [[Series/JudgeJudy Judge Judith Sheindlin]].

* Brooklyn Rage can extend to the arguably more upmarket suburbs on its edges. [[Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond Lynbrook]] reversed the syllables of the name to market itself as a more upscale suburb; but one of its citizens is Frank Barone, a man prone to road-rage and fits of self-righteous boorish anger. Neighbouring [[Series/TheKingOfQueens Queens]] has Carrie Heffernan, a tough-as-nails woman whose response to provocation is to get her retaliation in first.

* [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]]'S [[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys Bully Ray]].

* In ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'', the last book: "You don't mess with New Yorkers."

* Rocko (and his adoptive mother) from ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' talk with thick Brooklyn accents. More specifically, they talk like [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Ben Grimm.]]

* Many [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent goblins]] in ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' have Brooklyn accents. In an ad for the cancelled ''VideoGame/LordOfTheClans'', Gazlowe was even compared to a New York cab driver.
* Furio "The Tiger" Tigre from ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Ace Attorney: Trials & Tribulations]]'' is one frightening loan shark who, true to his nickname, [[WrittenRoar roars]] his way around.

* ''Series/{{Scared Straight}}'' the original and ''Series/{{Scared Straight 99}},'' even way more, also exaggerated the black vehicular New York accent for purpose of being menacing. The program is in Rahway State Prison, in Patterson, NJ, right across the Arthur Kill from Staten Island.

* ''Series/ImpracticalJokers'' is based in New York City. Most of the people the Jokers meet are good sports, but there have been times where passersby don't take too kindly to their antics. Each Joker has had at least once incident with unruly people in their city, so staffers will blend in with the crowd to protect the Jokers from more aggressive people.

* Joey Wheeler (the dub version of Katsuya Jyonouchi) talks like this in dub ''Anime/YuGiOh'', his accent and attitude the atypical Brooklyn type.

* Any rapper raised in Brooklyn is guaranteed to exhibit signs of this trope. Hell, this applies to the rest of New York too; for example, the Bronx gave us Music/CardiB.

Rick from ''Film/Casablanca'' famously warns against invading New York- to the Nazi army.
