10	The All-American {{Face}} is one of the major stock characters of [[ProfessionalWrestling professional wrestling]]. He [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead drapes himself in the flag]], fights for [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Truth, Justice, and the American Way]], and is as wholesome as Mom and Apple Pie (well, if Mom started using steroids, anyway). He's proud to be an American, and expresses it at every opportunity he gets, even when wrestling in foreign lands. His entrance theme usually has references to being an American, his wrestling gear is in red, white, and blue (if it's not an actual American flag print); he may even go so far as to wave an American flag as he walks down to the ring. Before he became a wrestler, he was either a collegiate All-American in some sport, or a soldier; if he's a soldier, he'll pepper his speech with military lingo in between proclaiming how much he loves America.
11
12	The All-American Face is the natural enemy of the ForeignWrestlingHeel, and thus they often find themselves paired in feuds. The traditional climax to such a feud is a Flag Match, where the flags of the two nations are placed on opposite turnbuckles, and the winner is the first wrestler to recover his nation's flag and wave it. When the All-American Face is getting his ass kicked, especially by the ForeignWrestlingHeel, expect the crowd to [[CrowdChant start in with the chant]] of "U-S-A! U-S-A!" (sometimes, this is enhanced by the winner's National Anthem being played after the match as well).
13
14	In other countries, the All-American Face can actually ''be'' the ForeignWrestlingHeel, particularly if they play up the UglyAmericanStereotype. In those cases, any wrestler who plays the Foreign Heel in the U.S. can [[SwappedRoles be the actual face.]]
15
16	Compare {{Eagleland}}; when played straight the All-American Face is Type 1, but when inverted is usually Type 2. See also HoaxHogan, which is about expies of [[Wrestling/HulkHogan a specific and well-known Face character]].

18	----
19	!!Examples:
20
21	* Back in the '70s, there was "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas.
22	* Wrestling/HulkHogan. It's even in his theme (see above). And Mr. America, [[CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown whoever he was]].
23	* [[Wrestling/DustyRhodes "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes]], of course.
24	* The American Eagles (Ken Wayne, Tony Anthony and Danny Davis in masks) were a mixed bag. Played straight in USWA but in Lucha Libre Internacional, ''not quite''. Wrestling/{{Jacqueline}} by proxy, while she managed them in the states.
25	* [[Wrestling/HacksawJimDuggan "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan]] is probably the purest example of this. If it weren't for him entering the ring to the tune of "Stars and Stripes Forever", waving the flag around, and chanting, "U.S.A.! U.S.A.!", he wouldn't have a character at all.
26	* Wrestling/SgtSlaughter, who managed to play the All American Face both in wrestling and in ''Franchise/GIJoe''.
27	* Debra Miceli, in her gimmicks as [[Wrestling/{{Madusa}} Alundra Blaze]] in the WWF and Madusa in WCW. Further, "Madusa" is a {{portmanteau}} of "Made in the U.S.A."
28	* A few other Divas have played up the trope, although more subtly.
29	** The best example is probably Wrestling/TorrieWilson, who had as her unofficial nickname "The Girl Next Door" and was played up by WWE as precisely that (albeit one who posed for ''Playboy'' twice and wasn't shy about displaying [[HoYay Les Yay]] tendencies). Nowhere was this more apparent than at two consecutive editions of ''Wrestling/TheGreatAmericanBash'' (2004-2005): she was the mascot for both events, wearing a stars-and-stripes top hat and tuxedo at the first and appearing in a poster for the second saluting with a slightly psychedelic American flag design.
30	** Similarly, Wrestling/MichelleMcCool was known as "The All-American Diva" before her permanent FaceHeelTurn.
31	* Wrestling/{{GLOW}} girl Americana.
32	* The all woman's wrestling promotion Ladies Professional Wrestling Association had Team America, a tag team duo consisting of Heidi Lee Morgan and Misty Blue Simmes. Occasionally they would come out in in ring attire that looked like ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's original shield.
33	* Wrestling/{{Sting}} sometimes wore red white and blue facepaint and colors in his outfits.
34	* Wrestling/RandySavage sometimes dressed this way as well.
35	* The Quebec-born Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (Jacques and Raymond) took a FaceHeelTurn in 1988 when they began using an "All American Boys" gimmick, a move inspired by their inability to get over with the fans as faces. [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince [=McMahon=]]] repackaged Jacques and Raymond into a conceited team, showing facetious affinity for such American things as mother, apple pie and Music/BarryManilow, but actually mocking United States' fans through subtle insults, use of French and – of all things – waving small American flags and starting "U.S.A. chants." Their "All American Boys" entrance theme – an upbeat rock song playing up their supposed love for America – solidified their heelish characters; the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn701jXWtkE theme song]] alternated between praising America in English and insulting it in French. (Also solidifying their heel turn, but unrelated to the pro-American gimmick, was their affiliation with Wrestling/JimmyHart and his giving them a cut of the Hart Foundation's earnings as a "bonus," as Hart claimed to still have a contract with Wrestling/BretHart and Jim "the Anvil" Neidhart.)
36	* The [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} WWF]] tried to mold Wrestling/LexLuger into one of these as a HeelFaceTurn after Hulk Hogan left the company. Unfortunately for Luger, [[CreatorsPet you can only pander to the fans so much before]] [[XPacHeat even they get sick of it]].
37	* [[Wrestling/DelWilkes The Patriot (Del Wilkes)]], duh.
38	* There is a subversion in a famous match for Mexican-based promotion Wrestling/{{AAA}} that took place in Los Angeles, between the heel team Los Gringos Locos (Wrestling/EddieGuerrero and Art Barr) and the face team of El Hijo Del Santo and Octagon. Guerrero and Barr (the Americans) took delight in insulting the mostly Mexican-American crowd, drawing massive heat and resulting in the LA crowd booing the Americans and cheering the Mexicans. In Mexico, however, Barr and Guererro were really {{Foreign Wrestling Heel}}s.
39	* This was also subverted in the form of Wrestling/KurtAngle, the (legitimate) Olympic gold medalist who, despite fighting for his country and wearing red, white, and blue, was a cocky, egotistical asshole and took every opportunity to point out his superiority to his fellow Americans on top of America's superiority to every other nation.
40	** They actually were not sure what [[{{Pun}} angle]] they were going to take with him when he was first signed to WWE. His promos were just generic bios about his Olympic victories and seemed to play him up as this. He oversold it at his television debut, and the audience started booing him. The execs took it and ran with it, and got word to him in the ring that he was a heel now and should act like an asshole. The rest is history.
41	** Though it's usually played straight whenever Angle makes a HeelFaceTurn, albeit with a good bit of comic relief mixed in.
42	** One promo by Angle had him convinced that, since he was a beloved American hero and his opponent, Wrestling/JohnCena, was drawing massive amounts of XPacHeat, he could say anything he pleased and still have the crowd on his side. He decided to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ydZDLLtp8Y test the theory]] by commenting that [[RefugeInAudacity he does not like "the black people"]], and musing that if he could make one historical figure tap out, [[CrossesTheLineTwice it'd be Jesus]]. And yes, the crowd was still on his side.
43	* Wrestling/TheUndertaker during his [[BadassBiker Big Evil]] phase, from mid-2002 to late 2003.
44	** At ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries 1993'', he filled out the final slot of the team the All-Americans, with Lex Luger and the Steiner Brothers (Rick and [[Wrestling/ScottSteiner Scott]]) after Ludwig Borga had [[SquashMatch squashed]] Tatanka.[[note]]Though, as Tatanka is a Native American, and ''Survivor Series'' was usually held on Thanksgiving, what would he have been celebrating?[[/note]] To show he was serious, since this was rather unexpected, [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead he even had an American flag replace the normal lining of his]] BadassLongcoat.
45	* Wrestling/SaraDelRey was a mixed bag in Luchas 2000 and LLF but a straight example in Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} with her American Angel gimmick before her FaceHeelTurn. It amusingly ended up being played straight in LLF, as American Angel, April Hunter, Nikki "La Gringa" Roxx and Christie Ricci and all became crowd favorites, Wrestling/DaizeeHaze being over the moment she debuted. It just took American Angel longer than the others. Crowds even chanted "USA" at Del Rey during Wrestling/RingOfHonor's UK shows, against native UK talent Eden Black and Jetta no less.
46	* Yet another subversion is Wrestling/{{WWE}}'s Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield, a SelfMadeMan who constantly talks about how proud he is of his country and he is the personification of the American Dream -- but his America doesn't include "foreigners" like Eddie Guerrero and [[Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr Rey Mysterio]] (both native-born Americans), or "miscreants" like John Cena and Wrestling/CMPunk. JBL was really more of a self-serving politician type, [[ItsAllAboutMe caring far more about himself than his country]] and spewing patriotic rhetoric because he thought that was what the fans wanted to hear. His disdain for immigrants was (kayfabe) genuine, though. Unlike Angle, though, Layfield has ''never'' been a babyface with the JBL gimmick.
47	* Iraq War Veteran Johnny Magnum retired from the army and debuted as a face patriot on The Funkin Conservatory's ''!BANG! TV'', in 2004.
48	* Wrestling/JohnCena is a...a ''something,'' "inversion" is probably the safest label. His core act of being a simple all-around face is not, itself, patriotic, but he constantly salutes, wears dog tags and occasionally gets patriotic. Inverted because he wasn't a soldier but played a Marine in a movie, and the booking decision to incorporate this into his act probably wasn't the smartest thing. On the other hand, though it's probably not intentional, there is ''one'' reason it's very, very clever; the change carries with it an implication that military service ''rehabbed'' Cena from [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy the complete wigger "Doctor of Thuganomics"]] he started as to a fine, upstanding citizen. Naturally, the problem is that about half of the fans ''preferred'' that gimmick.
49	** However, he himself has [[WordOfGod said]] that he ''doesn't'' have a gimmick, that the way you see him on TV is the way he really is.
50	** It's fitting that, on May 1, 2011, he was able to announce to the crowd at the Extreme Rules PPV that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. The patriotism and love and respect for the military that he's shown made him the perfect choice.
51	* Tim Donst of Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}.
52	** And later [[Wrestling/TheColonyWrestling Green Ant]] of Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}, after ForeignWrestlingHeel Wrestling/{{Tursas}} began to write derogatory blog posts about America. He even got the endorsement of Lex Luger!
53	** And, of course, [=USApe=].
54	*** Along similar lines, Wrestling/KaijuBigBattel's American Beetle.
55	* {{Inverted\|trope}} when WWE brought in Kenzo Suzuki. He happily announced his love for the United States whenever he could and even went as far as dressing like Uncle Sam but got booed anyway because he always cheated and was lecherous. Oh, and he wasn't very good, and he teamed with ForeignWrestlingHeel Rene Dupree.
56	* [[Wrestling/XavierWoods Consequences Creed]] in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] as a [[NoPunIntended consequence]] of him being an {{expy}} of [[Franchise/{{Rocky}} Apollo Creed]].
57	* ''Wrestling/{{Wrestlicious}}'' had Glory who wore star spangled wrestling gear (complete with cape) and ended up winning the promotion's championship belt.
58	* Inverted with [[Wrestling/JackSwagger "The Real American" Jack Swagger]] and his manager Zeb Colter, a pair of all-American heels who spout Tea Party anti-immigrant rhetoric, constantly decry various face wrestlers as being traitors to their vision of America, and generally act like thugs and bullies to anyone who disagrees with them (including the above-mentioned Sgt. Slaughter and Hacksaw Jim Duggan). In contrast, Swagger's rival Wrestling/AlbertoDelRio, whose gimmick is based around his being openly and proudly ''Mexican'', is booked as being the face and the defender of American values and virtues. (The feud had been done before with Wrestling/KarlAnderson and Wrestling/JoeyRyan even calling themselves Real American Heroes, except ''their'' opposition, Los Luchas/Los Crazy Chickens, weren't even foreigners). Prior to that, Swagger was "The All-American American", playing the same cocky pro-American heel that Kurt Angle did. Swagger would later play the role straight, becoming a face when the evil Russian character Rusev showed up.
59	** And then even more inverted with [[Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli Antonio Cesaro]] being added as a tag-team partner in a stable known as The Real Americans. Hilarious in that, even in Kayfabe, Cesaro is a naturalized citizen, not a native-born American.
60	* [[AffectionateParody Affectionately parodied]] in the UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}ese [[Wrestling/DragonGate Toryumon]] promotion with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Florida_Brothers#The_Florida_Brothers the Florida Brothers, Michael and Daniel, better known, respectively, as Taku Iwasa and Raimu Mishima.]]
61	* Santana Garret and Amber O'Neal became a pair of them in the {{revival}} of Wrestling/WOWWomenOfWrestling, The All American Girls. Known as The American Sweethearts elsewhere.
62	* Napalm Bomb and Solo, the {{tag team}} known as The [=MMs=] or Muscle and Mayhem, at least play the part in appearance, Bomb frequently carrying the flag and Solo having red white and blue armbands. As for practice, well, [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor that depends on where they are]].
63	* [[Wrestling/ChrisHero Big]] In [[Wrestling/ColtCabana USA]] are a completely straight and beloved example. What makes it surreal is that they operate in the Japan based Wrestling/ProWrestlingNOAH.
64	* In 2014, while TNA was in dire straights, they found room to sign Chris Melendez, a trainee from the [[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys Team 3D Academy]] who lost his leg in combat and wrestled with use of a prosthetic. Fans received him as a war hero.
65	* Note that for any of the aforementioned All-American Heels (Kurt Angle, JBL, the Rougeaus, Kenzo Suzuki, and Jack Swagger in both phases), when they wrestled overseas, they were straight-up {{Foreign Wrestling Heel}}s.
66	----
67	!!Examples from other media:
68
69	[[foldercontrol]]
70
71	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
72	* ''Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}'' character Terryman (based on real life wrestler Wrestling/TerryFunk) has been the epitome of this in fiction for decades. Interestingly enough, he started off as the same type of character as [=JBL=] (representing the big business side of America that other countries sees as [[ForeignWrestlingHeel evil]]), but then mellowing out and playing this trope to the highest degree ever since. His son, [[Anime/UltimateMuscle Terry the Kid]] also plays this trope to a T. ...tK.
73	* America from ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers''. 'Nuff said.
74	* Keith Goodman of ''Anime/TigerAndBunny''. Whether or not Sternbild is actually in America is up for debate, however.
75	* Chibodee Crocket of ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]'' was the All American Face, well [[{{Eagleland}} kind of.]] He stood out as the All-American, clean cut Momma's Boy who would only drink Bourbon and used one of the fighting styles[[note]]Boxing[[/note]] most associated with America, even when in his GiantMecha. It's taken even further with the revelation that his mother used to sing the Star-Spangled Banner to him as a lullaby, and eventually his pit crew do as well to snap him out of a FreakOut in the middle of a match.
76	* All Might from ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' is this trope in '''spades''', since he's an AffectionateParody of American comics [[TheCape Capes]] like ComicBook/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. He's [[HairOFGold blonde-haired]], blue-eyed, tall, muscular, wears a costume that's predominantly red, white and blue, says things like "JusticeWillPrevail!" and ''means'' them, and his special attacks all have [[CallingYourAttacks names]] taken from places in America (i.e. "Texas Smash"). [[spoiler:He's actually Japanese; his real name is Toshinori Yagi.]]
77	[[/folder]]
78
79	[[folder:Comic Books]]
80	* Franchise/{{Superman}} fights for truth, justice and the American way. The comics have had him shift more toward a "citizen-of-the-world" stance in recent years, though.
81	-->"[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague I solemnly swear, all of you, that I will continue to uphold the ideals of truth and justice. Not just for America, put for all the world.]]"
82	* ComicBook/CaptainAmerica (imagine that)
83	** Mildly subverted by ComicBook/USAgent, who is just a tool of the United States government rather than a man for the people.
84	** The [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger movie]] plays with this by having the U.S. government create the Captain America character as a propaganda tool for war bond sales. Steve Rogers himself has a far more deeper motivation than simple patriotism alone.
85	* Franchise/WonderWoman, [[AncientGrome even though she really shouldn't be.]]
86	** With both Superman and Wonder Woman, DC has tried to downplay this over the last several years when it has been seen as unfashionable to be patriotic (and in the case of ''Superman Returns'', could potentially impact his international box office sales).
87	** Wonder Woman's costume was redone to replace the star spangled bikini bottom with black pants. After the fans revolted, they compromised and gave her back two of her stars.
88	** In a one off story, Superman once mentioned that he was planning on renouncing his American citizenship[[note]]though it was mainly because his actions were being interpreted as official US policy due to his longstanding mostly solid relationship with the US government[[/note]]. A story showed up very quickly afterwards where Superman expressed his love of America, as an alien whom America adopted like so many others.
89	* Deconstructed by ''ComicBook/PowerAndGlory'' -- A-Pex is an all-American [[TheCape Cape]], but only because his government creators groomed him as such. In reality, he is a narcissistic selfish mysophobe who relies on a handler to do the real hero work.
90	[[/folder]]
91
92	[[folder:Film]]
93	* ''Franchise/{{Rocky}}''
94	** Rocky is the embodiment of this trope in ''Film/RockyIV''. Before that, he was more a simple American hero.
95	** Apollo, in-universe, actually used the All American Face gimmick in the [[Film/{{Rocky}} first]] and [[Film/RockyIV fourth]] movies. Though the first time it was to celebrate the American bicentennial and the second time it was because he was the American competitor in an international boxing match. But he takes it to the extreme in that latter match making even Rocky visibly embarrassed.
96	** Rocky also owes his career to this trope, having been chosen for the bicentennial match because Apollo couldn't get a worthy competitor for the show and decided to go with the gimmick of giving a nobody a shot at the big time because it represented America at its best.
97	* Creator/MickeyRourke's character, Randy "The Ram" Robinson in ''Film/TheWrestler'' is/was basically this.
98	* Jack Burton of ''Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina'' is a DeconstructiveParody of this. Burton sports a Creator/JamesDean pompadour and drawls like Creator/JohnWayne, but lives up to these iconic images of American masculinity with less than perfect aplomb. Overconfident and always slightly behind the information curve, his bombast sometimes pays off, but more often makes him the butt of a slapstick gag. For a light comic performance, Creator/KurtRussell walks a very precise tightrope, giving Jack a puppyish quality that redeems his made-in-America arrogance. The audience roots for him to succeed, and to be taken down a peg or two along the way.
99	[[/folder]]
100
101	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
102	* Stephen Colbert of ''Series/TheColbertReport'' bleeds red white and blue.
103	* Carter Grayson from [[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Lightspeed Rescue]] has an absolutely perfect American face. Fits with the show, as it's probably the most "American" season to date.
104	* [[MeaningfulName Liberty]], Joy's half-sister from ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'' dresses up as one for her wrestling act. Additionally, she's black, so her {{Jobber}} is naturally a member of TheKlan.
105	* In the Netflix series [[Series/GLOW2017 GLOW]], Debbie's wrestling persona, Liberty Belle, is one.
106	* Invoked by, of all people, The Penguin in the ''Series/{{Batman\|1966}}'' episode in which he ran for Mayor of Gotham City [[Film/BatmanReturns (wouldn't be the last time)]]. In the course of his campaign he refused to discuss any actual issues other than his "Batman's-a-criminal-and-I'm-a-hero" plank ("Issues only confuse people"); instead, he spouted all the usual clichés, kissed babies, adopted "Yankee Doodle" (with rewritten lyrics) as his campaign song, and even had a rock band dressed as Revolutionary Minutemen (Paul Revere & The Raiders) perform at one of his rallies.
107	* The oldest child in ''Series/HomeImprovement'', Brad, was a typical blonde haired, big smile athlete, although without the intense patriotism associated with the trope. The story went that Zachary Ty Bryan originally auditioned for Randy, [[MiddleChildSyndrome the middle child]] (and was in fact about the same age as Creator/JonathanTaylorThomas who got the part), but the casting director felt he had more of an All-American face. To their relief, he proceeded to grow into that role really well, eventually getting taller than Creator/TimAllen.
108	* The ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' episode "The Gang Wrestles For The Troops" has Mac, Dennis, and Charlie assuming these personas, attempting to model their costumes after eagles and calling themselves "Birds Of War." It doesn't work all that well, due to a mix of poor costuming making them look less like muscular eagles and more like chickens with boners painted on their stomachs, Charlie's attempts to play up the "bird" aspect rather than the "patriotic" aspect, and the fact that they get their asses kicked by "[[ForeignWrestlingHeel The Talibum.]]"
109	[[/folder]]
110
111	[[folder:Music]]
112	* [[Music/{{Gwar}} GWAR]]: Averted with Corporal Punishment: An American imperialist superhero who tore the [[GagPenis Cuttlefish of Cthulhu]] off of Oderus Urungus.
113	[[/folder]]
114
115	[[folder:Pinball]]
116	* Jim Duggan plays this role in ''Pinball/WWFRoyalRumble''.
117	* ''Pinball/Rollergames'' has the T-Birds team, composed of smiling, friendly players, complete with red/white/blue uniforms decorated with stars and stripes.
118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:Video Games]]
121	* The Japan-only women's wrestling/card battle series ''VideoGame/WrestleAngels'' has this in the form of one of the series' most popular and recurring characters, The USA.
122	* Gets truly bizarre with Wrestling/JohnCena's single-player campaign in ''[[VideoGame/{{WWE}} Smackdown Vs. Raw 09.]]'' The story starts with Cena performing at "Tribute to the Troops," the WWE's annual Monday Night Raw done from Iraq with an audience of soldiers stationed overseas, replete with chants of "USA! USA! USA!" and Cena saluting. The story moves into a feud with MVP after a soldier Cena befriends visits him after returning stateside only to be ''attacked by MVP backstage,'' who proceeds to declare "Better than Utopia," his stable, to be ''its own country'' because he didn't like getting boo'd in Iraq. Naturally, the campaign ends with Cena facing off with MVP at ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}}, accompanied to the ring by the aforementioned soldier.
123	** Finishing the story unlocks the soldier as a playable character, but his default moveset is just copied from Cena's.
124	** Of particular note is the {{Narm}} in Cena's patriotic gestures; the soldier, though quite likable and friendly about it, ''tells him to stop saluting.''
125	* Statesman of ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes''.
126	* Super Macho Man in ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' (Wii version) is a subversion: He certainly looks and acts like one, but everyone of the (American) audience hates his guts, and he's one of the worst {{Arrogant Kung Fu Guy}}s you'll ever see. It helps that he bears a resemblance to a (moustacheless) Hulk Hogan.
127	* Dixie Clemets' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIHpXitrPgs superstar persona]] in ''[[VideoGame/RumbleRoses Rumble Roses XX]]''.
128	** Reiko Hinomoto is the Japanese version of this gimmick, dressing in red & white and has that underdog feel.
129	* Guile from ''Franchise/StreetFighter''. Though he's a good guy, his major trait isn't his nationality, so much as his desire to get answers about the death of his friend. His patriotism gets {{Flanderiz\|ation}}ed a bit by the fans, but it's still there.
130	* Tina Armstrong in ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' (her dad happens to be a CaptainErsatz of Hulk Hogan, too).
131	* One of the characters from the webgame Soccer Star has her wearing a bikini with soccer balls as her top, red and white stripes on her bottom, and using an American Flag as a coat.
132	* If you win a a match as Jax in ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' (without performing a Fatality), he drapes himself in an American flag.
133	[[/folder]]
134
135	[[folder:Web Original]]
136	* Subverted by ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''' Bandit 'In AMERICA!' Keith, who '''wears an American flag on his head'''! In America! [[spoiler: Although he's actually Canadian]]. The subversion is that he isn't a good guy, but a cheating, condescending Jackass. [[NationalStereotypes Like every other American on Yu-Gi-Oh.]]
137	[[/folder]]
138
139	[[folder:Western Animation]]
140	* Major Glory, from the ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' series, who is obviously a parody of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and Superman.
141	* In ''WesternAnimation/Ducktales2017'' "Rumble for Ragnarok", the world-serpent Jörmungandr is the home-grown babyface of Valhalla, while Scrooge plays the {{Heel}} as the Millionaire Miser.
142	* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': In a Crimson Chin episode, a version of the hero from every decade is summoned. The one from the 1950s specifically is referred to as "The 50s Square-Jawed Commie Buster Chin" and is portrayed as having an American flag for a cape.
143	* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' tends to lean to this at times. Check out "Monkey Fist Strikes" (pro American army?), "Royal Pain" (pro democracy), "Queen Bebe" (dancing at the Statue of Liberty) and "Rappin Drakken" (her Idol outfit includes a USA top).
144	* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' parodies this on the episode on Pro Wrestling, with Stan becoming a "8 year old Nam Vet who isn't accepted back in the homeland."
145	* Duke of Franchise/GIJoe.
146	* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' in the episode "The Blind Bandit", the Boulder is a homegrown face representing the Earth Kingdom while fighting of the villainous ForeignWrestlingHeel Fire Nation Man.
147	* Given a San Fransokyan twist in ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6TheSeries'' with the "mech-wrestling" face Uncle Samurai.
148	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS14E7SpecialEdna Special Edna]]" has Bart watching one called Uncle Slam impaling a Bin Laden parody, Osama Bin Rotten with an American flagpole.
