9[[AC:ComicBooks]]
10* ComicBook/{{Carnage}}'s real name is Cletus Kasady.
11* ''ComicBook/TheAuthority'': Seth Angus Bubba Joe Billy Cletus Clement Callum Cowie. His mother named him after all of her brothers, [[ParentalIncest because she wanted to be sure]] [[MamasBabyPapasMaybe to name him after his father]].
12* ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' has Willy Pete. He's AxCrazy, rapey, and ''[[IncendiaryExponent on fire]]'', the last of which makes more sense when you find out his name is also a nickname for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus white phosphorous]].
13* Billy Bob and T.C. from ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}''. The former is a kid so inbred he has only one eye, and the latter is a murderous {{Jerkass}} who'll [[ExtremeOmnisexual screw just about anything]].
14* In ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'' and ''ComicBook/JessicaJones'', the [[Characters/DaredevilCentralRoguesGallery Purple Man]]'s real name is Zebediah Killgrave, even though he was born in Croatia. [[Series/JessicaJones2015 The 2015 Netflix series]] averts this -- he only goes by "Kilgrave" (with only one L), which doesn't give off a redneck vibe on its own, and his real name is [[spoiler:Kevin Thompson]].
15
16[[AC:{{Film}}]]
17* ''Film/PulpFiction'': Zed and Maynard are repulsive redneck rapists, with names to match.
18* Budd and Buck from ''Film/KillBill''
19* The killer in ''Film/TheNailGunMassacre'' turns out to be a guy named Bubba.
20
21[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
22* In Cody Goodfellow's short horror story Life Coach, her psychotic, vicious dog's name is "Clovis".
23* Billy-Ray Sanguine from ''Literature/SkulduggeryPleasant,'' a sociopathic hitman who carries a special straight razor with which to cut his victims' throats.
24
25[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
26* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' 's season 6 BigBad is named Warren Mears, which kind of foreshadows his future mental instability. (Of course, ironically, the actor's a Jew from New York, although his chick's from Alabama, but she's definitely not a redneck. And she's the one he shot.)
27* On ''Series/TheShield'', Shane Vendrell is not a nice person. Further, he uses the alias "Cletus van Damme".
28
29[[AC:VideoGames]]
30* Luther-Dwayne Grady from [[{{VideoGame/SSX}} SSX Tricky]]. He's a [[FatBastard gigantic]] and [[{{Jerkass}} rude]] guy whose play style revolves around using his massive size to his advantage.
