For me, I ran across this "Saturday Night Live" clip called "Suel Forrester Southern Lawyer". The clip is pretty funny because it hits about every stereotype of a lawyer from the South that one scene can capture. While most lawyers are not like Chris Kattan's character, the portrayal provides a satirical insight to what other people may think of when they picture a true Southern Lawyer. I love SNL's portrayals of the South not because they are accurate, on the contrary, they are about as far from accurate as one can get, but because they add comedy and poke fun at stereotypes and assumptions people may take seriously.

Ridiculous Southern images in Media
While looking for an artifact for the visual analysis project, I ran across some fairly out there clips portraying the South. Have you run across any of these clips too? If so, what were your views and opinions on the clip as a whole as well as its portrayal of the South?
