  • Southern-Fried Genius
rdfs:comment
  • An inversion of the "idiotic redneck" stereotype people from The Deep South often have attached to them, in a similar mould to Black and Nerdy. This character may have the same down-home sensibilities or otherwise act like a good ol' southerner, but is very, very smart. Maybe they exhibit Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness alongside their Southern vernacular, maybe they have a teleporter in their garage, maybe they have 11 Ph.Ds, who knows. May overlap with Good Is Not Dumb. See also Southern-Fried Private. Examples:

  • An inversion of the "idiotic redneck" stereotype people from The Deep South often have attached to them, in a similar mould to Black and Nerdy. This character may have the same down-home sensibilities or otherwise act like a good ol' southerner, but is very, very smart. Maybe they exhibit Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness alongside their Southern vernacular, maybe they have a teleporter in their garage, maybe they have 11 Ph.Ds, who knows. The Simple Country Lawyer exemplifies this trope; he uses his intelligence and accent as a weapon, talking in simple allegories and colloquialisms in order to make people think he's a moron, then brutalizing them with his superior wit. May overlap with Good Is Not Dumb. See also Southern-Fried Private. Examples:
