== Anime & Manga ==
* The very minor Tezuka anime and manga series ''[[Don Dracula]]'' has this as a [[Running Gag]]. [[Dracula]] prefers to subsist on the blood of beautiful women, and somehow never quite manages to grab one onscreen, but a grotesque (and overweight) young woman keeps popping up, determined to offer her neck and other... charms to the foreign nobleman.
* The "Sexy Ninja Tea Ladies", the stepfamily of the ninja Konatsu in ''[[Ranma ½]]''. Of the three [https://web.archive.org/web/20130702093620/http://www.majhost.com/gallery/misterq/misc/konatsu_sisters.jpg "Sexy Ninja Tea Ladies"], the best-looking and most feminine one was modeled after American actor [http://www.google.com/images?q=Edward+G.+Robinson Edward G. Robinson].
* In ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'', there's the "Bowling" chapter, where Longchamp invites Tsuna and Gokudera to go on a three-person blind date. Of course, Longchamp's idea of a "cute" girl has always been... [[Gonk|unique]]. So the three girls he invited were absolutely hideous (one of them even being Reborn in an ugly drag). The whole chapter pretty much consists of Tsuna and all of his [[Bishonen]] guardians / male friends coming by, being horrified by how ugly these women are, and then trying to run away from them as the women aggressively pursue them.
* In ''[[Houshin Engi]]'', Venus, one of Chou Koumei's hideous three sisters, is head over heels in love with [[Anti-Hero]] protagonist Taikoubou. He literally spit up blood from seeing her strike a "sexy pose." Of course, being the [[Manipulative Bastard]] he is, he ''did'' fake being slightly friendly towards her just so he could immediately distract her and defeat them. His disgust and horror towards her constant aggressive advances toward him are played for laughs.
Line 238:
* ''[[Tanz der Vampire]]''
** Herbert von Krolock is a borderline example of the male homosexual variety, depending on who's playing him. He might be [[Bishonen|handsome]] and [[Ensemble Darkhorse|endearing]] but he's also a clingy, aggressive vampire who's very intent on getting his teeth into vampire-hunting [[Tenor Boy]] Alfred.
** Rebecca, Chagal's wife, who presumably used to resemble her lovely daughter Sarah, has become one of these to her husband in the same show, driving him toward his beautiful scullery maid Magda. This is especially jarring [https://web.archive.org/web/20100722002938/http://grono.net/gallery/photo/show/11444776/obraz-008/ in productions where she's not even played as particularly obnoxious or ugly]. (However, the fact that he isn't particularly charming or attractive either renders ''him'' a genderswapped example of the same trope as far as Magda's concerned... until he bites her, at least.)
* ''The Changeling''. De Flores has a terrible skin disease. He might actually be a [[Dogged Nice Guy]].
