くまこう‐はちこう【熊公八公】 の解説
《落語などに出てくる庶民を代表する二人の名から》無教養ではあるが善意の庶民をいう称。熊さん八つぁん。

I don't think "average Joe" is an appropriate translation here.</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>"average Joe" works OK for me. It's quite idiomatic English for this meaning. OTOH switching to GG5's version is not a problem.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>It's a pretty rare expression and the definition 無教養ではあるが善意の庶民をいう称。 seems more precise than "average person" /Joe Blow/Bloggs to me.</upd_detl>
