History Main / FatSweatySouthernerInAWhiteSuit

The root of the stereotype is in actual Southern fashions, combined with negative stereotypes of plantation owners. The white suit was an enduring Southern fashion down to the '70s, and can still be seen to this day because the South is ''hot'', not to mention humid. The best such suits were made of linen, which is naturally moisture-wicking and highly thermally conductive; the next-best quality was seersucker, a cotton weave in which most of the cloth stays away from the skin. (Seersucker suits are fashionable to this day in UsefulNotes/WashingtonDC, which is very much a part of the South's subtropical climate zone.) Being white meant that the suit reflected light, and so didn't get hot as fast as other fabrics; it also allowed its wearer to show off that he didn't have to do anything that would get his clothing dirty.

** Played straight in the Atlantic episode with a Fat Southern [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent Merman]] in a white suit.

%%** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E24TheSimpsonsSpinOffShowcase The Simpsons Spinoff Showcase]]": Big Daddy from the show "Wiggum P.I." is a classic example.%%How?

%%** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E5EIEIAnnoyedGrunt [=E-I-E-I-[Annoyed Grunt]=]]]": The southern general who Homer fights a duel with is also an example.

** {{Subverted|Trope}} with Blake Dexter, the BigBad of ''[[VideoGame/HitmanAbsolution Absolution]]''. He has the girth, suit, drawl and attitude down to a T, but he's actually a midwesterner from South Dakota. It's very obvious that Dexter and his cowboy hat-wearing cronies were originally meant to be Texan, but for whatever reason, this was changed sometime before release.

* In ''Series/MadTV'' the recurring character Son of {{Film/Dolemite}}'s ArchEnemy is the fat, sweaty white Sheriff.

* A Little Caesar's Pizza commercial for its bacon-wrapped pepperoni pizza features the SimpleCountryLawyer variant who would like to reassure the audience that having that much bacon on one pizza is "perfectly legal."

* An ancillary character in ''Film/{{Psycho}}'', a customer at the realty office Marion works for. He flirts outrageously with her and ostentatiously pays for his tens-of-thousands-of-dollars purchase in cash ("[[TemptingFate Never carry more than I can afford to lose]]!"), which sets off the plot.
* ''Film/Constantine2005'': The personification of [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]]. Complete with Louisiana accent and white suit, which should be noted, is missing shoes, so you can see filth literally dripping off of his bare feet. Probably hot tar or pitch -- which sort of makes sense.

* ''Film/OBrotherWhereArtThou'': Governor Pappy O'Daniel. Corrupt, but in a self-interested, neutral way. Also, John Goodman plays a straighter, evil example, as a shady bible salesman/[[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Klansman]] who beats the heroes senseless with a tree branch and steals their money. The RealLife Pappy O'Daniel is not an example, however.

* The John Sayles movie ''Film/PassionFish'' kinda-sorta {{avert|edTrope}}s this, or maybe {{deconstruct|edTrope}}s it. A Fat, Sweaty Southerner in a White Suit shows up at one point, but he's the main character's gay cousin (who else wears a white suit nowadays?) and the two of them spend a delightful evening drinking heavily and trading family stories.
* In ''Film/{{JFK}}'', John Candy portrays RealLife New Orleans defense attorney Dean Andrews this way.
%%* ''Film/TheLongestYard'' (2005 version): He's a friend of the prison warden and behaves as you expect from a fat southerner.%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample
* ''Film/TheWaterboy'': One of Bobby's professors -- so much so that Bobby [[LampshadeHanging calls him Colonel Sanders]]. He isn't evil so much as a ButtMonkey, and he quickly finds out the hard way that [[BerserkButton you don't make fun of Mama]].
* ''Film/Life1999'' features at least three examples. Two are prison wardens, the first of whom fits the trope to a T. The second warden is identical in appearance but a much more decent human being. A minor but eventually important villain at the beginning of the film also shows that fat, sweaty, white-bedecked Southern bastards aren't exclusively white.
* Senator Seabright "Sebe" Cooley of South Carolina in ''Film/AdviseAndConsent'', although he's more wily and shrewd than villainous.

* Senator Raymond Clark in ''Literature/SevenDaysInMay'' is a non-villainous example of the trope.
* Davido, the greedy building developer from (the live-action part of) ''Film/ArthurAndTheInvisibles''. What he's truly after is the treasure hidden by Arthur's grandfather in the world of the Minimoys.
* South American variant in ''Film/ThatManFromRio''. As Adrian is shining a shoeshine kid's shoes (not having any money for the kid doing his), a fat guy in white brushes the kid aside to get his own shoes done. Adrian polishes his white shoes black, and, of course, he can't see his own shoes.

%%* Judge Josh, corrupt patriarch of Texas City, in ''Film/BreakerBreaker.''%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample
* The BigBad of ''Film/PrimeCut'' is an overweight, psychopathic lookalike to Boss Hogg.
* ''Film/FreedomOnMyMind'': A stock footage newsreel shows a fat double-chinned sheriff in a white shirt blocking entrance to a county courthouse where voter registrations are accepted. This causes a moment of conflict between the white and black civil rights activists. The white kids from all over Yankeeland laugh at the stereotypical newsreel. The black activists who are native to Mississippi get angry, pointing out that this is all deadly serious.

* ''Film/TalesFromTheHood2'': Minus the fat and sweaty parts, William [[MeaningfulName Cotton]] sports one, and [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain jokes about how Henry would have been serving the party in the good ol' days, rather than hosting it]].
%%* Burl Ives as Big Daddy in ''Film/CatOnAHotTinRoof''.%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample
* ''Film/TheMuppetMovie'': Doc Hopper, the owner of Doc Hopper's French-Fried Frog Legs is fat, Southern, and wears a white suit. He also tries to [[LetsMeetTheMeat force Kermit to advertise his restaurant]], resorting to attempting both brainwashing and ''murder'' when he refuses.
* Although the main villain from ''Film/OverdrawnAtTheMemoryBank'' has based himself on a character from ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'', he still belongs to this trope, particularly when it comes to his constant eating and his FauxAffablyEvil personality.
* CJ Ramage III from ''Film/BlackstockBoneyard'' is the white suit-clad mayor of a South Carolina town and an [[LargeHam over-the-top]] racist who is constantly shown publicly disparaging Black people.

%%* Jimmy Jay Jenkins from the ''Literature/InDeath'' series by Creator/NoraRoberts.%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample

* A horror story "The Suit" by G.W. Thomas had the white suit be a ClingyCostume; its overweight Southern owner is [[DealWithTheDevil promised wealth and power]] if he keeps feeding the suit with his own fat. Problem is the suit's hunger exceeds his intake of food.

* ''Series/{{Matlock}}'': [[SimpleCountryLawyer Ben Matlock]] has the suit, is a bit on the large side, and sweats a lot, but he's the protagonist and [[GoodLawyersGoodClients his clients are always innocent]]. He can be really terrifying when he harangues the witness though.

* In ''Series/MadTV'' the recurring character Son of {{Film/Dolemite}}'s ArchEnemy is the fat, sweaty white Sheriff.
-->''"[[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Kill that boy]]! Kill 'em dead!"''
* In the ''Series/HorribleHistories'' sketch about Harriet Tubman, she has to hide from one of these -- [[FatIdiot he's stupid enough for her to do so easily]].

%%* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': Tiny Attorney, another heroic example. Bonus points are awarded for simultaneously being a SimpleCountryLawyer.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
** {{Parodied|Trope}} with the [[SimpleCountryLawyer anthropomorphic chicken lawyer]].
** Played straight in the Atlantic episode with a Fat Southern [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent Merman]] in a white suit.
* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': Jimmy Nixon [=McGarfield=], the Fourth Grade President-for-Life, is a tween example. He starts out with the typical white suit, [[spoiler:but gets a black one once he's officially a villain]].
* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has [[EnfanteTerrible Gideon Gleeful]]. He's ten years old and his suit is baby blue, but he's chubby, pig-like, has an impressive Southern drawl, is a SmallTownTyrant and a [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior villain through and through]].
* Mr. Fishchoder (who even has a white EyepatchOfPower) from ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'', minus the fat part.
* Big Boss, the main villain of ''WesternAnimation/COPS1988'', minus the Southerner part.
* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': Piggish villain Hoggish Greedley usually prefers the army fatigue look, but appears in a white suit on occasion. He has a grandfather, Don Porkaloin, who plays this trope to the hilt.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/SaturdaySupercade'', the Donkey Kong cartoon "Mississippi Madness" has someone named Colonel Culpepper as the main antagonist, who plans to steal a jewel.

%%* The principal of GESH from ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh''.%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample
* Peter Griffin briefly becomes one for the sake of a cutaway in the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS18E16StartMeUp Start Me Up]]".
* Hose of the Guapo Brothers in ''WesternAnimation/TheMrPeabodyAndShermanShow'' qualifies.
* Mayor Toadstool of ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' doesn’t wear the white suit but qualified in all the other ways including being a CorruptPolitician (though he mellows by the second season).

Historical figures who sported the Southern white suit included Creator/MarkTwain and [[UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken Colonel Harland Sanders]], but neither of them was particularly fat or particularly villainous, unless in the latter's case you asked the chickens. Mark Twain's satires of Southern aristocracy might have been the TropeCodifier here.

* Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome, from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''.
* Tiny Attorney from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', another heroic example. Bonus points are awarded for simultaneously being a SimpleCountryLawyer.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE8TheForgotten The Forgotten]]", [[DisposableVagrant homeless people are being kidnapped]] and forced to work in a mine run by one of these types, pictured above complete with a piece of fried chicken and a fan. (All he lacked was a Southern accent.)

** Big Daddy from "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E24TheSimpsonsSpinOffShowcase The Simpsons Spinoff Showcase]]" show "Wiggum P.I." is a classic example.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E9MayoredToTheMob Mayored to the Mob]]", Homer trains to become Mayor Quimby's bodyguard by going to Leavelle's Bodyguard Academy, where Leavelle (Creator/MarkHamill) is this trope. Judging by his accent, he seems to be from Texas.
** The southern general who Homer fights a duel with in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E5EIEIAnnoyedGrunt [=E-I-E-I-[Annoyed Grunt]=]]]" is also an example.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS17E21TheMonkeySuit The Monkey Suit]]", during the trial against Lisa and evolution, Ned has an overweight SimpleCountryLawyer named Wallace Brady (guest-starred by Creator/LarryHagman) at his side. The guy opposes Lisa and greatly supports creationism, calling evolution a load of "Hollywood hooey", not to mention he's not afraid of manipulating the audience at the courtroom with a cute baby deer (Bambi apparently) by claiming evolution is what allowed humans to kill his mother, with the intent of siding people against Lisa. [[AmoralAttorney Brady also sees no problem whatsoever with sending an eight-year-old girl straight to jail if it means teaching religion at schools]].
** Wiggum himself gets a related classic line, after watching a racially insensitive cartoon in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS19E12LoveSpringfieldianStyle Love, Springfieldian Style]]": "[[EveryoneHasStandards Even I find this offensive, and I'm a fat Southern Sheriff]]!"

* ''Film/GunsGirlsAndGambling'': Creator/PowersBoothe isn't especially fat, but everything else about the The Rancher fits the bill: he is a CorruptHick who [[IOwnThisTown controls everything not on the reservation]] and dresses in a white suit and cowboy hat.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has [[EnfanteTerrible Gideon Gleeful]]. He's ten years old and his suit is baby blue, but he's chubby, pig-like, has an impressive Southern drawl, is a CorruptHick and a [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior villain through and through]].

%%* A Little Caesar's Pizza commercial for its bacon-wrapped pepperoni pizza features a SimpleCountryLawyer who would like to reassure the audience that having that much bacon on one pizza is "perfectly legal."

-->''"[[SassyBlackWoman YOU]]! [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Back of the bus]]!"''

Like DastardlyWhiplash, this is an oddly specific character. Often a villain, or at the very least extremely shady, the Fat, Sweaty Southerner in a White Suit is where the CorruptHick intersects with the VillainousGlutton. They are always obese. They always speak with a strong Southern accent, normally an upper-class drawl. They are almost always dressed in a white suit, cane optional. If it's not truly white, it'll be pale enough to have the same effect. If it's someplace in the DeepSouth, like Mississippi or Louisiana, they will be extremely sweaty and constantly dabbing themselves with a handkerchief when not lazily fanning themselves. This is optional in places like Kentucky, but they will occasionally [[HeatWave manage to be sweaty]] even in an Appalachian winter.

He occasionally has JabbaTableManners and often has a careless, laid-back manner. He's probably NouveauRiche and quite possibly a CorruptHick; he's almost certainly not an aristocratic, genteel, warlike SouthernGentleman.

For non-fat, non-sweaty, non-Southerners who may have a different set of villainous characteristics, see VillainInAWhiteSuit. For Southerners too blue-blooded to sweat, see SouthernGentleman. For characters who are more powerful and even less genteel, see CorruptHick (remembering that there's a lot of overlap). For villains who eat a great deal, Southern or not, see VillainousGlutton. And for other stereotypes of the obese, compare and contrast FatBastard, FatIdiot, and FatSlob.

* {{Averted|Trope}} with "Big Daddy" Labouff from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog''. He's a Fat, Sweaty Southerner in a White Suit and a bit of a glutton, but a pretty NiceGuy: a DotingParent, ''immensely'' NiceToTheWaiter, and popular enough to be elected King of Mardi Gras five years in a row.
* Played straight with another Creator/JohnGoodman one: Layton T. Montgomery, the attorney defending the honey industry from Barry's lawsuit in ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie''. John Goodman seems to like this role.
