Hi
My feeling is that without some context, it would end up being a case of JAFAAC.
Do you perhaps have any images?
What about good ol' Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn?

Right now that's my favorite...Rockwell can never get too much love.

Couple of boys getting up to hilarious hijinks doing a classic American past time (building a tree house) while dressed in the American colours of red, white and blue.
Hi
That's pretty decent too.
That One Troper
Great.
I still think Ness would be good... he has a lot of design elements common for this trope.
Maybe a picture of him doing something very... American?
Eating a hamburger, playing baseball, something like that.

Yeah, you're going to need to provide a picture if you want that to work.
I like the suggestions, though. We should probably crowner this up soon.
Belief or disbelief rests with you.
A pocketful of saudade.
I think Boys on the tree > Ness > Baseball boys.

I like it, but it's not as immediately understandable as the treehouse boys. I think they get the point across straightaway.
Both the treehouse and the baseball are my favourites, it really catches the "American" feel to it. Also, Trope Eater, next time when you want to give some suggestions try to provide what work they're from and an image or it will be Fan Myopia.
I can't think of anything good for a signature.

We can find a good shot of Ness and at least archive it on the Image Links, though.

Hi
Agreed.
Supporting the treehouse boys in post #7.
Hi
Clock is set.
Hi
The clock's up and the treehouse boys have enough of a consensus to run with the pic, so it's up and tagged. Locking up.
Ness. Who else? You can't get more Eaglish than that.
Evil is my favorite color.
