Regional Stereotypes

Regional identity refers to the part of the United Kingdom someone is from. It can refer to general areas or specific towns.

I watched Harry Enfiled's regional stereotype of Scousers which included the following: 

Aggressive attitudes

Afros and Moustaches

BREAD

TOP BOY

DOWNTON ABBEY

YOUNG ONES

SHAMELESS

WATERLOO ROAD

GEORDIE SHORE

TOWIE

SKINS

MADE IN CHELSEA 

Theres a representation of Mancs as always being drunk.

They have a regional Manchester accent.

The location is a council estate.

Foul language.

No self respect

Essex thick and stupid.

Exaggerated speaking, sound as if they are thick.

Vain, self interest.

Party animals.

Elongated words.

Fake tans. 

Sitting comfortable money wise. 

Made in Chelsea

Posh accents

A lot of money

Male grooming

Expensive dresses

Snobby, bitchy 

 

People from Devon, are represented as quite vulnerable people because they are stupid, this makes them a target for bullying, they are shown as awkward people who are 'backwards' but try to fit in. (Misfits)

Shown as powerful and influential, they have a neutral accent and are clear when talking. They brush up well and always look at their best. Have high roles in society, very wealthy people.
