In Popular Culture
The red serge is almost always used in depictions of Mounties in popular culture, such as Dudley Do-Right.
During his stint in the World Wrestling Federation, Jacques Rougeau wore a red serge outfit to play his character of "The Mountie"; however due to protests by the RCMP, the WWF mentioned repeatedly during his match that he was not a "true representative of the Mounties." Eventually litigation prevented Rougeau from appearing in Canada as The Mountie.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“The man of large and conspicuous public service in civil life must be content without the Presidency. Still more, the availability of a popular man in a doubtful State will secure him the prize in a close contest against the first statesman of the country whose State is safe.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
