Basic Trope: The unstereotypical Canadian who is rude and brash.

  • Straight: Cole Ramone is a rude Jerkass who only apologizes when pigs walk backwards. Alice and Bob, who are American, are only considered mildly more decent than them.
  • Exaggerated:
  • Downplayed: Cole is only a tad bit abrasive, but he's mostly just a Deadpan Snarker who likes cracking Black Comedy whenever the situation calls for it.
  • Justified:
    • Cole's been to the United States. It's not pretty.
    • Cole grew up in a rough part of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
    • Cole, as a professional hockey player, grew up learning three languages: English, French, and Profanity.
  • Inverted: Clay Tanner Finnigan, Cole Ramone's friend, is a Courteous Canadian, and is prone to helping people out.
  • Subverted: Cole isn't actually all that bad, just a Jerk with a Heart of Gold...
  • Double Subverted: ...But he's revealed to be a Jerk with a Heart of Jerk.
  • Parodied: Cole's method of "greeting" people is through full speed body checking. If they manage to stand back up, then he resorts to Good Old Fisticuffs. It's only after they've been knocked out that Cole would consider it a nice reciprocation.
  • Zig-Zagged: Cole is a mood-swinging loonie.
  • Averted: Cole is neither an asshole nor a nice guy.
  • Enforced: National Stereotype Flip
  • Lampshaded: "Yes, I'm a Jerkass and I'm from Winnipeg. Don't be surprised. We have 'Fuck-You-From-Manitoba' on our licence plates for a good reason."
  • Invoked: Cole decides to be a Jerkass because it's hilarious.
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Cole decides that being Canadian is no reason he can't be a Nice Guy.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: "Ah, an asshole Canadian. At least they don't stick to the Courteous Canadian stereotype."

Ay tabarnak! Move your ass back to the main page, bub!
