History Main / HawaiianShirtedTourist

* ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'': Chuckles is usually wearing one (a shirt that is, not a tourist). He is also the Joes' best undercover operative. A frequently mentioned point is that most people would never imagine an undercover operative to stick out like a sore thumb as he does.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hurricanes}}'': [[BigBad Stavros Garkos]] had a scene wearing one in one episode. (Noticeable because he usually dresses like a ManOfWealthAndTaste) He actually wasn't on vacation but on a business trip trying to [[CorruptCorporateExecutive persuade]] a nation's regent to allow him to extract oil.

* In Hawaii itself (where Hawaiian shirts are called "aloha shirts"), this trope is played straight in that tourists can be seen with aloha shirts, and inverted in that aloha shirts are also considered business or semi-formal attire. Granted, the shirts that the locals wear tend to be of higher quality[[note]]A dead giveaway being a pocket that blends in with the surrounding pattern[[/note]] and with generally darker, more muted patterns.

* Jack Carver of ''VideoGame/FarCry1'' wears one of these. Justified in the fact he was only supposed to drop off and pick up the journalist who paid him, not have his boat blown up on arrival and get stuck fighting shitloads of mercenaries. Said mercenaries also refer to him as ''[[IconicOutfit "You! In the shirt!"]]'' His VoiceWithAnInternetConnection also lampshades this at the start of the game, telling him to grab some body armor since it will blend in with the environment much better than a gaudy, bright red shirt.

* Tommy Vercetti's default outfit from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity''.

-->'''Garfield:''' Invader from outer space! (sees how the "invader" is dressed) Okay, tourist from outer space.

-->'''Alien:''' Take us to your theme parks!
-->'''Garfield:''' That explains the Hawaiian shirts and flip-flops.

-->'''Nedry''': Nice hat. What are you supposed to be, a secret agent?

-->'''Tourist''': Hey buddy! Enough of the curse words, alright?
-->'''Malcolm''': ''[silent for a few seconds]'' [[spoiler: Kiss my sweaty balls you fat fuck]]!

* ''Film/{{Water 1985}}''. Our introduction to the Governor of Cascara is Creator/MichaelCaine tending his marijuana crop in a floral shirt, a clear sign he is GoingNative. Subverted though in that the next scene has him insisting on getting dressed formally to handle the CLF's two-man "insurrection". However, this is suggested to be because he is a ''[[IAmVeryBritish British]]'' governor.

** In ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'', we see that Doc's Hawaiian shirt from Part II has become his neckerchief while living in [[WildWest 1885]]. Additionally, the 1955!Doc wears a Wild West-themed Hawaiian shirt with lassos and cacti on it as he sends Marty on his way to 1885.

* Comes up at least twice in ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'', both times while dealing with covert operations. Once in the ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce'' series (which had a shirt that changed colors and patterns whenever the wearer wanted), once in the ''Literature/XWingSeries''.
** Wedge and a couple of other Wraiths, in order to go through another iteration of TheInfiltration, had to disguise themselves as tourists from the planet whose [[PlanetOfHats hat]] is idiocy. This involved wearing a [[RummageSaleReject shockingly ugly selection]] of clothing.
--->'''Wedge''': The sooner we finish, the sooner we can get off this planet and I can get out of this hat.
--->'''Tyria Sarkin''': Not to mention the lavender short pants?
--->'''Wedge''': ''Not'' to mention them, Flight Officer Sarkin. ''Or else''.

* Twoflower of ''Literature/TheColourOfMagic'' and ''Literature/TheLightFantastic'' is a combination of this and JapaneseTourist.
** In TheFilmOfTheBook, he's actually wearing a shirt that looks vaguely like a Hawaiian shirt, and stands out in the mass of more stereotypically MedievalEuropeanFantasy dressed Ankh-Morporkians.
** The first description of his clothing in ''TCOM'' shows him wearing knee-length shorts and a hideously-multicoloured shirt, ie. standard Hawaiian Shirted Tourist attire.

--> '''T'Pol:''' If you're wearing that to impress the women on [[PleasurePlanet Risa]], you may as well stay on board.\\

'''Archer:''' ''(chuckling)'' Don't say she didn't warn you.

[[folder:Theater]]

-->'''[[AmoralAttorney Ken]]''': Hey, I loved 1978 too, but, y'know, this isn't gonna be a beer and strippers do.

* In the VideoGame/StarRevenge series, Brodute's AuthorAvatar always wears a Hawaiian shirt, as well sandals with socks and a wicker hat.

[[folder:Web Video]]
* ''WebVideo/HardlyWorking'' has a sketch where a character took a vacation day...and proceeded to come in and annoy his colleagues anyway. He wore a Hawaiian shirt, sunglasses, and shorts. Another character invited him to a strip club and was also wearing a shirt like this.
* French retro game reviewer ''WebVideo/JoueurDuGrenier'' famously wears a yellow Hawaiian shirt, along with shorts and sandals-socks.

* Babs Bunny turns into one in ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' when she visits Wackyland.
** Babs and Buster also are dressed that way in the ending CouchGag variant where they say "Aaaaaaaaaloooooooha!"

* Comes up at least twice in the Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse, both times while dealing with covert operations. Once in the ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce'' series (which had a shirt that changed colors and patterns whenever the wearer wanted), once in the Literature/XWingSeries.

* ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia''
** A little sketch has Germany as a tourist in Hawaii, complete with a lei and a Hawaiian shirt.
** And don't [[RunningGag forget]] Canada, who dresses in one to visit Cuba.

The stereotypical dress for a tourist/someone on vacation (especially your [[UglyAmericanStereotype Ugly American]]) is a very specific set of ImpossiblyTackyClothes; a Hawaiian shirt, sandals (sometimes [[AndThatsTerrible with socks]]), and often a Panama Hat and sunglasses as well. Note that the dress can be permanent for a character with a carefree personality, and it doesn't seem to depend upon tropical weather for a character to dress this way. Tourist characters may also have a bulky camera hung around their neck. If male, his DistaffCounterpart is likely to have a pristine white tennis outfit, or occasionally a Muumuu; if she wears a hat or a pair of sunglasses, it will probably have a price tag dangling from one side, Minnie Pearl style.

* ''Series/{{Angel}}'' once pretended to be one. [[CrazyAwesome To a mob boss. While the guy was trying to flee LA. And he made small talk, acting completely ignorant.]]

* Principal Kun&#333 official outfit in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''... although in his case, he spent an extremely long vacation in Hawaii itself and went native.

* ''Series/ILoveLucy'': Fred Mertz dons one to sight-see in Hollywood.

-->-- ''Discworld/TheColourOfMagic''

* Twoflower of ''Discworld/TheColourOfMagic'' and ''Discworld/TheLightFantastic'' is a combination of this and JapaneseTourist

* At the end of ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'', the Genie becomes one of these after being freed, complete with Goofy cap. This is actually a reference to a (sadly no longer shown) short film that played in the guest queue for The Magic of Disney Animation at Walt Disney World's Disney-MGM Studios called "Back To Neverland," where Creator/RobinWilliams played a Hawaiian-shirted tourist (with the Goofy cap).
* A few of these can be seen in ''Disney/LiloAndStitch''. Of course, given that it takes place in Hawaii and Lilo's sister works at a tourist trap, that's probably no surprise.
* In ''Disney/TheSwordInTheStone'', Merlin returns from Bermuda (and the 20th Century) wearing a Hawaiian shirt, sunglasses, and, of course, Bermuda shorts.

* ''[[VideoGame/DeadRising2]]'', taking place in Las Vegas expy Fortune City features many zombified versions of these. Chuck can also dress up as one himself.

* ''VideoGame/Dead Rising 2'', taking place in Las Vegas expy Fortune City features many zombified versions of these. Chuck can also dress up as one himself.

* Episode 48 of the ''Anime/{{Kirby|of the Stars}}'' anime has a bunch of these tourists come to Dream Land.
