History Main / RaginCajun

* The NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent page notes that ActionHero JeanClaudeVanDamme has been given a Cajun background in several of his movies, such as ''UniversalSoldier'' and ''HardTarget''. Technically an example, even though it's just a HandWave for his Belgian accent?

** Likely so, since if you've only heard a Cajun accent on movies and TV, you probably wouldn't know what a real one sounds like anyhow. [[DidNotDoTheResearch Most writers certainly don't.]]

* Snafy Shelton from ''ThePacific''.

Note that Cajun does not mean from NewOrleans. {{The Big Easy}}'s specific ethnic group is known as Creole. The word itself is a corruption of "Acadian". It is a Southern U.S. culture with French roots, an ethnic group mainly living in Louisiana (but many creators [[TheyJustDidntCare can't tell the difference]]). See TheOtherWiki [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajun here]].

* Gambit of the Comicbook/{{X-Men}} is nothing more than a collection of various stereotypes about thieves and Cajuns all rolled into one that has only recently been given any major CharacterDevelopment. He was raised by your run-of-the-mill Cajun thieves' guild after being kidnapped at birth, and their leader was advised by a black Catholic [[HollywoodVoodoo voodoo priestess]] type! He has a Cajun accent so hardcore that even the writers of the ''X-Men'' books can't help parodying it now and then! Every time Gambit has a few issues in New Orleans, he ''will'' have scenes in the swamps, the French Quarter or both, and some mention of gumbo or jambalaya ''will'' be made, I gerr-on-tee it.

* Leatherhead from WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987.

[[AC:TabletopRPG]]
* ''{{Champions}}'' adventure ''C.L.O.W.N.'': A New Orleans based superhero team called the Bayou Brigade fought with the eponymous villain group. One of its members, the Cajun Commando, "gay-ron-teed" to bring C.L.O.W.N. to justice.

* CrimsonSkies has an entire ''gang'' from New Orleans, hilariously called the [[GenreSavvy Ragin Cajuns]].

* Possible TropeNamer is James Carville, a U.S. political pundit with an accent and temperament to match the title.

-->Jerry Reed, "Amos Moses"

* Gung Ho from ''GIJoe''.

One of many ways to make a character more {{Badass}}: make them from NewOrleans. Maybe they honed their skills wrestling alligators in the bayou, maybe they have [[HollywoodVoodoo voodoo powers]],
but they're natives of TheBigEasy and they're gonna let you know it.

[[strike:Guaranteed]] gerr-on-''teed'' to have a thick accent.

* The movie ''Southern Comfort'' is about a bunch of Southern city boy National Guardsmen who make the mistake of stealing some boats from some swamp dwelling Cajuns.

* Edward S. Aarons' Assignment / Sam Durell series. Fictional CIA agent Sam Durell is the protagonist for all of the stories in this series. He has the nickname "The Cajun". He grew up in the swamps of Louisiana. Note that he was trained to have a "average" U.S. accent by the CIA, so he does not have the thick accent.
* [[spoiler: Rene]] on TrueBlood could count as an aversion, since he [[spoiler: wasn't really Cajun but faked the accent]].

* ''{{Champions}}'' adventure ''C.L.O.W.N.'' A New Orleans based superhero team called the Bayou Brigade fought with the title villain group. One of its members, the Cajun Commando, "gay-ron-teed" to bring C.L.O.W.N. to justice.
