Unless the American conscious has had a mass amnesia in the past few years, I could swear that pattern is common in American English. It’s probably a bad example but I clearly remember hearing it a lot in the 90s, often on television shopping channels (bored kid is bored) but also in sitcoms and the like.
My American media consumption tapered off to mostly popular movies after the 00s so maybe there was a change after.
