For my homework I need to find a stereotypical depiction of Americans from another culture (a picture from a movie scene, a comic, etc.)... I have tried for quite some time now and can't find one. Anyone have any or know where I could find one?

I only have a positive point of view on Americans and are from South Africa, all the other people of this world who has a problem with Americans are pretensious and hipocrates. I especially like Texas by the way. I think that the post on what your looking for to search on Google will give you the best results. Type in France for example and then search within results for stereotypical Americans.

The D-Day museum in New Orleans has some pictures of Japanese propaganda depicting tyranical America trying to bully the world.
Also, in the Simpsons episode: Thirty Minutes over Tokyo, I have the following dialogue for you:
Americatown is themed with a random assortment of United States politics and pop culture. Each table is shaped like a state. The Simpsons sit at Massachusetts.
Homer: I can't believe they stuck us at Taxachusetts! [points to table] Hey, you know, I once knew a man from Nantucket.
Bart: And?
Homer: Let's just say the stories about him are greatly exaggerated.
Waiter: Howdy gangstas! I'm average American Joe Salaryman waiter.
Bart: These prices suck! 10,000 yen for coleslaw?
Lisa: Don't you serve anything that's even remotely Japanese?
Waiter: Don't ask me; I don't know anything! I'm product of American education system. I also build poor-quality cars and inferior-style electronics.
Homer: [cackles] Oh, they got our number!

I live in Canada & can honestly say I have yet to meet an American I didn't like.
If you want a stereotypical depiction of the ugly American check the film by that name or any other French film involving an American as the lead character.

It was the Hugh Grant holiday movie where the guys from England come to the US and the guy was speaking English but he had a British accent and the girls would say "how do you say table?" and the guy would say it in English but the girls acted like it was a different language. When I saw that scene, let me just say I was embarassed to be American. Good luck

What about that movie that recently came out about the man who fast food for a month? I apologize, I do not know the name of the movie.
Here are some good pictures:

Americans are undereducated people who do not know anything about the world around them. Americans are over-consumers of all of the worlds resources. A word such ignorant sums it up.

Oh come on - have you tried Google images?
Type in anti-american or something like that - I'm sure it'll find something for you.

Dumb, fat, promiscuous, Christian.
That's what I've heard from Turkish people during my stays in Turkey.
