Cool Frat Bro Cartoon Drawing

Brolaf, Lord of Bromacia.

"What is a bro? A bro is a eighteen to twenty-four yr old male who wears birkenstock sandals, watches Family Guy, plays Ultimate Frisbee, and wears an upside downwards visor or a baseball cap with a pre-frayed brim. You lot know, a bro."

The Fratbro is a male college student or alumnus depicted in a stereotypical fratboy-ish manner. They're almost always unintellectual and usually want to party and beverage all 24-hour interval, try to go laid all night, and will likely engage in Wacky Fratboy Hijinx. Despite the name, they don't accept to be (or take been) in a fraternity.

Every bit far as academics go, they alive by the motto "C's get degrees," and the more well-off bros are often guaranteed a chore under ane of their parents regardless of school performance. For this reason they often written report straightforward, business-related majors like bookkeeping, marketing, real estate, etc. Rare is the fratboy that is studying to be a teacher or physician where they'd have to rely on their own skills and not personal connections. They're in college to party.

In a lot of means this graphic symbol is an evolution of the Dumb Jock stereotype as they often fulfill the same function, although the Fratbro will not necessarily exist an athlete (he volition at least be a big follower of sports, however). Also different the traditional jock, the Fratbro volition often exist a very large fan of soft drugs (particularly cannabis), and exist portrayed as being pretty much harmless in comedic works, but darker examples will frequently throw in a proclivity towards Engagement Rape and a trend (since they are unremarkably from upper-centre-form/upper-class backgrounds) to effort to use family connections to go them out of trouble.

This is a subtrope of Men Are Uncultured, specifically designed around the thought that information technology'southward "normal" for young men to behave this manner and sow their depraved oats before stepping pes in the real world. The ones who tin can't let become of this phase in their lives may grow up to be a Jaded Washout or The Stoner.

Fratbros are usually Adequate Targets in pretty much any work not aimed at this demographic, only to their credit, almost fratbros aren't above self-deprecating humor. Often used every bit a Bromantic Foil to the male lead. One popular Aesop for this type of graphic symbol is to get a Ladykiller in Love, especially if they Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest. Whether or non it works is a toss-upward, as this sort of grapheme can easily imply that the audition Should Not Do This Cool Matter.

Compare Life of the Party and Wacky Fratboy Hijinx. Likewise compare and contrast with Hard-Drinking Party Daughter, The Lad-ette, and All Guys Want Sorority Women, the crude Distaff Counterparts. A Frat Bro who is intelligent plenty to land a tech job or start a tech company is a Tech Bro.
