'''Basic Trope''': The villain has a British accent, even if he isn't actually British.
* '''Straight''':
** Alice must stop the British Robert from taking over the world.
** Bob, TheBrute of the evil PrivateMilitaryContractors, speaks in a broad Cockney accent.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Alice visits Britain, and everyone there is an ObviouslyEvil [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Racist]] [[CardCarryingVillain Card-Carrying]] [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist]]. Even the British leaders are {{Evil Colonialist}}s and {{Omnicidal Maniac}}s themselves [[TakeOverTheWorld who plot to rule the world]] [[ApocalypseHow and the universe with iron fist]].
** Robert is a CompleteMonster from Britain, with [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white hair]] and [[IAmVeryBritish RP]] accent to boot.
* '''Downplayed''':
** All British characters are [[BritishStuffiness stuffy]].
** Most characters are evil, and a couple happen to be British.
** Most characters are British and the villain just has the poshest accent.
** There are some British characters who are on the side of good, some that are evil, and some that are neutral.
** A British/[[FightingIrish Irish]]/[[ViolentGlaswegian Scottish]] AntiVillain and/or AntiHero.
** Robert is half-American and speaks with a transatlantic accent.
** Robert doesn’t actually speak with a British accent. Though he does speak with a similar one, like an Australian accent.
** Robert is a {{jerkass}}, but otherwise harmless.
* '''Justified''':
** The series takes place im Britain, so it's natural that Robert is British - most characters are.
** Robert learned received pronunciation to [[VillainWithGoodPublicity improve his abilities as a public speaker]].
** Alternatively the story takes place in a fictional universe, Robert's accent is a TranslationConvention to indicate that he's [[AristocratsAreEvil an upper class arsehole]].
** TheHero is [[LaResistance rebelling]] against UsefulNotes/TheBritishEmpire, so it makes sense to portray the British villains as {{Evil Colonialist}}s and WesternTerrorists. Bonus points if the story is focusing on [[BasedOnATrueStory British colonial atrocities from history]].
** The UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom is a {{Crapsack|World}} {{Wretched|Hive}} Nation in the story, run by their regime who are NazisByAnyOtherName.
** The bloomin' chap [[LearnedEnglishFromWatchingTelevision learned English primarily through BBC]]
* '''Inverted''': The heroic Brit Robert must assemble a crack team of SAS commandos to prevent American GeneralRipper Alice from starting a nuclear war.
* '''Subverted''':
** Robert wasn't the villain at all. It turns out he was [[DeadpanSnarker joking]] [[PoesLaw about the whole Bangers and Mash factory thing]] but [[DumbIsGood Alice]] thought he was [[SarcasmBlind being serious]]. Another case of cross-Atlantic [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant humour clash]].
** Robert is actually an American who is [[BoomerangBigot ashamed of his heritage]], and [[{{Fauxreigner}} only pretends to be British]].
** Robert later pulls a Heel-Face Turn.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** He was planning to take over the world, however.
** Turns out Robert was born in Britain but was raised in America.
* '''Parodied''':
** Robert is introduced drowning kittens in his [[BritsLoveTea teacup]] while snacking on crumpets with spread made from babies supplied by HumanTraffickers. NaziHunter Alice must stop him from taking over America with the help of the SAS and turning it into the world's largest [[IAmVeryBritish Bangers and Mash factory]].
** Bobbie the cockney orphan is the only character without an American accent. He turns out to be TheManBehindTheMan.
** The director is aware that there is more than one British accent - and chooses the absolute goofiest ones for all the villains.
* '''Zig Zagged''':
** Alice tries to stop [[IAmVeryBritish Robert]] from taking over the world...wait, it turns out he's innocent. Hang on, it looks like the real BigBad has an accent anyway...nope he just put it on to mock Alice's assumptions about Robert. Wait, Robert's TheManBehindTheMan...or is he...?
** The evil British villains are working for an American. (For a more unusual twist, the BigBad is, say, Belgian or Canadian.)
* '''Averted''': The cast is made up entirely of Britons or has no one with a British accent in it.
* '''Enforced''':
** It's a movie about either the American or the Irish Revolution, at the very least the villain will probably be British.
** Corollary: if an American movie is about a ragtag group of rebels against an EvilEmpire the rebels will speak with an American accent and the baddies with a British accent.
* '''Lampshaded''':
** "Good day chaps, did me accent give me away?"
** "We Britons have a long history of supervillainy! Shall I give you a history lesson?"
* '''Invoked''': Robert enjoys being the DevilInPlainSight and puts on a UsefulNotes/{{British Accent|s}} because of this trope.
* '''Exploited''': Robert blackmails William the UpperClassTwit into being his stooge in the hope that his enemies will assume that William's the BigBad based on this trope and won't investigate further (and trace it back to him).
* '''Defied''': Robert joins the heroes solely to disprove this trope.
* '''Discussed''': "I have my eye on you, limey."
* '''Conversed''': "Hmm, an Irishman an Englishman and an American. [[SarcasmMode I wonder who the villain will be]]."
* '''Deconstructed''': Britain is attacked by a group of deluded [[WesternTerrorists right wing fanatic]] {{Knight Templar}}s who have concluded that Britons are AlwaysChaoticEvil NazisByAnyOtherName based on the stereotype. This escalates and leads to a war between Britain and America.
* '''Reconstructed''': [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Robert uses this attack]], to turn around and convince the international community to invade the USA, and turns out to be the GreaterScopeVillain.
* '''Played for Laughs''': The evil British Robert is just about to conquer the world... and he attacks by [[PokeThePoodle Poking the Poodle]] and [[SeriousBusiness leaving the]] [[FelonyMisdemeanor toilet seat up]].
* '''Played For Drama''': Robert is an ex-SAS SociopathicSoldier and {{Human Trafficker|s}} who is going to cause a lot of mayhem and death. If there are any heroic British characters in the story, 50/50 chances are they are also SAS or otherwise connected to the organization and [[EveryoneHasStandards are horrified about the war crimes Robert has done]].
* '''Played For Horror''': Robert is not your garden-variety SerialKiller; he is a [[JackTheRipoff very disturbed Ripperologist]] with an inflated sense of pride regarding that monster being born in Britain.
