I thought we'd already discussed this page before, but I can't find an IP thread for it...maybe it was in the suggestion thread. At any rate, the pic is full-on JAFAAC.
Pull.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Standard JAFAAC, pull. I can get behind BUPKIS.
Pull anyway.
(Annoyed grunt)Pull. Note that Not Even Bothering with the Accent is already BUPKIS.

Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!Pull. A picture of a guy in a stereotypically Texan outfit does nothing to indicate that his nationality isn't the same as his character's.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.I agree with leaving this page BUPKIS; anyone else agree?
Definitely. You generally need audio for this trope.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.That's why, as I said above, Not Even Bothering with the Accent is already BUPKIS.
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!I bet the same issue I'm talking about also applies to Fake Australian, Fake Brit, Fake Irish, Fake Russian, and Fake Scot. Fake Mixed Race too, maybe?

The nationality-related ones, yes. Fake Mixed Race might be less tricky to illustrate visually.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.We're at the New Year's Purge, so is BUPKIS-ing Fake American the decision?
Who said anything about that happening in IP? Plus, I'd like a few more votes for BUPKIS before making the call.
EDIT: Meant to clock this, doing so.

Maybe making this BUPKIS is for the best.
(Annoyed grunt)I also vote BUPKIS.
Edit: Looks like I already voted this way in a previous post, but it was over a week ago, so I forgot.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.BUPKIS.
Also, I agree that I feel like we had a thread for this page before.
Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.I remember seeing this on ATT, but nothing came out of that query that I know of.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.I thought we had a page too, but nothing came up...maybe it was discussed in the suggestion thread.
Okay to BUPKIS the other Fake Nationality sub-tropes as well?
Sure, why not.
Clock's about due; is BUPKIS-ing the Fake American and other such tropes the decision?
So we're talking Fake American, Fake Brit, Fake Irish...lump How's Your British Accent?, Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping, and Not Even Bothering with the Accent in as well?
Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:
I've looked really hard at the current image on Fake American and I've come to the conclusion that an image for that trope would need to show an Australian, New Zealander, or Brit doing an American accent, which is just impossible to illustrate.
My suggestion is to pull the image and flag this trope as BUPKIS.
