All Men Are Perverts: Difference between revisions

Contrast [[All Women Are Lustful]], the very seldom seen original [[Distaff Counterpart]], and the much more common [[All Women Are Prudes]] that now exists in its stead, often paired with this trope and used to reflect how women are closer to Earth than men. Sometimes paired with [[All Women Are Vain]] in order to provide a certain gender "balance". Attempts at invoking this trope may fall under [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]]. This trope also is used to justify [[All Women are Doms, All Men are Subs]] as only a man could honestly enjoy pain being perverted as he is, or at least he doesn't care how much pain he has to endure [[Worth It|as long as he gets laid]].

 

 

{{examples}}

* Any/every [[Ecchi]]-comedy anime (e.g. ''[[Colorful]]''), where the [[Fan Service]]-laden environment does nothing to deter this behavior aside from the occasional [[Megaton Punch]].

* ''[[Ranma One Half]]'': Where to start? Ranma often takes advantage of his [[Gender Bender|female form]] to trick people in his various [[Zany Scheme|plots]], Kuno's attitude towards girls he desires is blatantly lustful (he was at one point proclaimed Furinkan High's greatest pervert), Ryoga uses Akane's ignorance of his curse to play the part of her beloved pet, and Mousse sometimes tries to take a peek on Shampoo... all of which pale before the exploits of master pervert Happ?sai, whose entire existence seems to revolve around woman's panties. Note that the ''female'' members of the cast aren't free of libidinous behavior either: Shampoo has no qualms with being nude in front of Ranma (or with him being in a like state), and while Ukyo is more discreet her interest in Ranma is more blatantly sexual than Akane's (for example, at one point Genma showed them both a recent photo of male Ranma au naturel, and while Akane blushed and turned away Ukyo urged him to move his fingers). Even Cologne got in on the fun when Ranma took a love pill with her as its target, implying afterward she would have married him as he'd planned to when under its effects.

* ''[[City Hunter]]'': There's only one major male character, but the ''sheer'' amount of perversion that Ryo Saeba emits is enough to qualify for this trope. Many men who actually have any sort of role besides him aren't much better.

* While there are plenty of men who haven't shown perverted natures in ''[[Naruto]]'', it's more to lack of opportunity. The 3rd hokage, Naruto, Konahamaru, Ebisu, and of course Jiraiya are all strongly demonstrated in their perversion, and many others to lesser extents. Worth noting is that it uses a scene with Sakura to imply/state that women are just as perverted, [[Covert Pervert|just better at hiding it]].

'''Sasuke:''' What are you talking about?<br />

'''Onsokumaru:''' I'm saying we're going to peep on them. }}

* Ataru Moroboshi from [[Urusei Yatsura]], especially one episode, where a computer hooked up to his brain shows that he loves EVERY girl the most. (Even Lum, a girl who he has been trying to avoid for oh, the entire series?)

** Not just Ataru, [[Handsome Lech|Mendou]] is basically a rich, Jariten is a young Ataru, Megane is otaku fanboy Ataru. The only non perverted guys are [[Mega Neko|kotatsu-neko]], that fish guy, and [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Nagisa]].

* In one episode of [[Eureka Seven]], Renton inadvertently says something to Eureka that touches a nerve. {{spoiler|It has to do with her not being human.}} He looks through the Gekko's magazine rack to see if something there might offer some advice on how to ease the tension between them, and gets caught looking through a porno magazine. Though it's clear (to the audience) that he had no idea what it was ''really'' about when he first picked it up, the other Gekkostate members take it as evidence that the visible tension between the two is due to Renton pressuring Eureka for sex. While the girls go talk to Eureka about standing up for herself and making sure Renton respects her boundaries, the guys come to Renton's room with a whole stack of porn and set about redecorating his room to create an atmosphere fit for seduction.

** And, of course, Holland finds them at that moment and [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* A beautiful example of exemption occurs with ''[[Bio Meat]]'''s resident Blue Oni, Shingo, who is neither a pervert nor even a ladies' man (even though he has every capability to be). Lampshaded by the somewhat [[Mad Scientist]].

* ''[[Berserk]]'', staying true to its dark nature, plays the trope straight and is thoroughly unsympathetic in its depiction of it. On the other hand, it plays off [[All Women Are Lustful]] in a similarly critical light.

** The sole exception being when Guts saves Casca from a nasty fall: as she lays unconscious in their makeshift shelter, he briefly thinks about nailing her and blames himself for it right after.

** There's one other instance, which was a bit more disturbing, that took place after the Eclipse {{spoiler|when Guts accidentally rips open Casca's gown, exposing her breasts, and Guts leans in, presumably to kiss her and then go and... Well, Casca had just gone through the horrific ordeal of being brutally raped to insanity - and Guts was forced to watch as it happened - so of course she frantically runs away from him, leaving Guts to hang his head in shame for even doing such a thing. Not only that, but the event also proved that [[Star-Crossed Lovers|he and Casca's intimate and emotional relationship]] [[Heartbroken Badass|would never be the same again]].}}

* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', Asuka tries to justify her [[Tsundere|extreme hostility]] towards boys her age with this trope. Unfortunately for her, [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|Shinji]] is [[The Woobie|anything]] [[Butt Monkey|but a]] [[Accidental Pervert|pervert]].

* Nearly every male in ''[[Ai Ore Love Me|Ai Ore]]'', however its mostly on a realistic level.

** It goes further as most females in this series also have an unusually high sex drive.

* With the exception of the main character, every male student at [[All-Ghouls School|Yokai]] [[Boarding School|Academy]] in ''[[Rosario to Vampire|Rosario + Vampire]]'' is a pervert, as they constantly [[Lust]] for the pretty girls in the school, and actually comment on their [[Buxom Is Better|breasts]] '''in public'''. That is really sick.

 

* ''Box Office Poison''. Sex-starved artist Ed takes a life-drawing class with a nude female model. Afterwards he sees the model on the subway and they talk; her sitting, him standing. Ed strains to look down her shirt the whole time even though he's already seen her naked and she busts him on it. This is typical behavior for him.

* Any male the title character encounters in ''[[Ramba]]''.

 

 

** ''[[Animal House]],'' or really any movie by National Lampoon.

** ''[[Not Another Teen Movie]]'' is meant to be a parody, so it's understandable, since most of the characters are not really meant to be sympathetic, but there are many instances that invoke this trope, from having students peek in on a girl's bathroom, to the Foreign Exchange Student.

** ''[[Road Trip]]'' Starts off with an [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It]] moment and quickly devolves from there. Culminating in a scene when they try to donate to a sperm bank in order to get money.

** ''[[The Party Animal]]'' has a plot that revolves around a young college student desperately trying to lose his virginity, and the [[Up to Eleven|incredible lengths he will go to achieve these ends.]]

* [[Death to Smoochy]]: Nora Wells herself seems to think so.

* Also many thrillers, where most of the plot wouldn't happen if there were a single male character that didn't think with his penis.

** ''[[Basic Instinct]]''

** ''[[Chinatown]]''

* The trope title is taken ''extremely'' literally to the point of [[Exaggerated Trope|exaggeration]] in the film ''[[Teeth]]'', which posits female empowerment by means of toothy castration. The only male character who doesn't at least attempt to sexually assault the protagonist is her stepfather. Note that she also has a stepbrother. [[Squick|Yeah.]]

* This belief seems to be at the core of ''[[The Ugly Truth]]''.

* Every single ''[[Carry On]]'' film made, occasionally to the point were it crosses into sexual harassment.

"Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so." }}

* Humphrey from ''[[Alpha and Omega]]'' has been sedated to Idaho along with Kate for the sake of repopulating. Apparently while Kate is shocked of the idea, the scene switches to Humphrey who is ''drooling'' after Paddy and Marcel explain to them the process. Humphrey then goes on to say that it sounds "good to him". It also doesn't help that he has a crush on Kate.

 

 

* Taken literally, at least ''in potentia'', in Michael Slade's ''Ripper'', which unabashedly states that "male sexuality is nitroglycerin" and '''always''' has the potential to generate violence, if forcibly repressed and denigrated. Granted, "Michael Slade" is the pseudonym of two Canadian trial lawyers who'd spent their careers prosecuting the worst serial sex offenders, but implying that rule extends to ''all'' men is taking it a bit far...

* Kyra of ''[[The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl]]'' is incredibly paranoid. Her friendship with [[The All-Concealing "I"|the male main character]] comes to an end partially because she believes this (although said character doesn't really fit this trope.)

* [[Hilari Bell]] slips this into her books ''Trickster's Girl'' and ''Traitor's Son''. In the first, the shapeshifter Raven takes on a male form to travel with the female lead Kelsa, who intially notes that he's cute and past that pays more attention to the specifics of his transformations. In the second book the focus shifts to the male character Jason, and Raven shapeshifts into a female in order to better convince him to work with her. Jason is easily distracted by her rear, finds the fact that Raven is naked after shapeshifting appealing, though he doesn't like the shapeshifting itself, and sometimes describes her as "the attractive native girl."

 

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* ''[[Friends]]'': The list of things done by Joey and Chandler is quite extensive. They gave up their apartment in order to see Monica and Rachel kiss for one minute. They often go to great lengths for porn. In fact, Monica can recognize when Chandler's been watching before she comes into the room because she's seen that action so often.

** This really makes no sense. Joey picks up several gorgeous women every week, so there's really no reason he should be so excited at a glimpse of flesh. Chandler, meanwhile, is elsewhere portrayed as witty, sensible and urbane, and doesn't lose his composure ... except over boobies.

** It's insinuated that Joey is a sex addict, as is used as a momentary excuse in one episode. It would explain quite a bit.

** The most prominent example takes place in Season 3's episode, Earshot.

{{quote| '''Xander''' (Thinking): What am I gonna do? I think about sex all the time! Sex! Help! [[Everybody Hates Mathematics|4 times 5 is 30. 5 times 6 is 32.]] Naked girls. Naked women! Naked Buffy! Oh stop me!<br />

** Another episode dictated what happened to a man or woman if they stopped thinking about sex for some time. George ends up becoming significantly more intelligent and starts fixing most of the problems in his life along with learning at a great pace. He only stops when the Portuguese he learns helps him pick up a hot waitress. Elaine on the other hand gets progressively dumber when sex is no longer involved since women can get sex so easily they take it for granted.

*** When explaining to George why he was getting smarter, Jerry used a head of lettuce to represent his brain. He tears a small scrap off of it and said that it was the part of the brain that functions normally. The rest of the head was the part of the brain obsessed with sex, which was now functioning normally and making George more intelligent.

* Some of [[The Tonight Show|Jay Leno's]] jokes come from this premise. Kevin Eubanks often gets treated as an exception, but in general it's assumed in the jokes that this trope holds.

* ''[[The Man Show]]'', which is supposed to be about stereotypical guys, includes this trope.

* ''[[UFO]]'' naturally, given the shows' in-your-face [[Fan Service]]. In one episode the aliens are using a weapon [[Time Stands Still|that freezes time]]. Straker enters the film studio [[Front Organisation|used to disguise]] SHADO headquarters and sees an actor permanently "glancing" down the cleavage of the well-endowed actress opposite him. Even [[The Stoic]] Straker is apparently not immune -- in "Close Up" he uses a sophisticated macroscope to look up the skirt of a posing Lieutenant [[Ms. Fanservice|Gay Ellis]]. Supposedly it's part of a demonstration on how it's impossible to judge magnification without reference points, but even after he gets the point Straker zooms in for a second look... you're not fooling anyone, you sly dog!

* This was overdone in a season of ''[[Just Shoot Me]]'', in which "Kaylee", a [[Mary Sue]] character, was added to the cast; and the three main male characters began falling all over each other to try to date her -- DESPITE that they all worked in top positions at a ''Fashion magazine'', where ''supermodels'' practically oozed out of the woodwork -- and with whom Jack (and Elliot) regularly had affairs, and even the geeky Dennis Finch was able to marry a supermodel played by Rebecca Romaijne-Stamos. In contrast, "Kaylee" was rather psychotic, and was fairly average-looking, being short with a heart-shaped face. (See "Hugh Hefner" above).

** Partly [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] with Al Bundy, while he enjoys his [[Porn Stash|"Big 'Uns"]], he can't stand having sex with his wife, [[All Women Are Lustful|who is the gender inverted form of this trope.]]

* ''[[On the Buses]]'' features 1970s style skirt-chasers Jack and Stan.

** In another episode, Roz is complaining about how she's been flirting with the guy who regularly sits behind her at professional basketball games, but he ''doesn't'' appear to fall into this trope. It gets so bad she begins to worry about whether there's something disfiguring about the back of her head that he can see but she can't. Frasier points out that he might be married, gay, or -- inconceivably -- attending a basketball game to actually watch the game and not trying to score with women.

* In ''[[True Blood]]'' Sookie Stackhouse is telepathic. She gave up dating because she was tired at hearing all the disgusting things that men were thinking about while she was out with them. One reason she falls for Bill Compton, a vampire, is because she can't hear his thoughts.

** Although in an earlier episode when the Doctor first starts developing sexual/romantic attraction, it freaks him out and he wants to be rid of it.

* ''[[Castle]]'' both averted it and played it straight. One victim was practically a saint...

{{quote| '''Ryan''': Staff just went through all the files, no other red flags. Any dark secrets in here?<br />

'''Esposito''': I know. }}

** And in a later episode there was a catfight between a man's wife and his fiancee... Castle asks to [[Pass the Popcorn|stop for popcorn]] on the way and Ryan wants him to take pictures.

* ''[[The Professionals]]''. At the end of "Killer With A Long Arm" [[Da Chief|Cowley]] catches Bodie and Doyle sniggering over a long range sniper rifle they've captured. He takes a peek through the telescopic sight and sure enough finds it [[Naughty Birdwatching|pointed at a scantily-dressed girl in an apartment a couple of miles away]]. Cowley chews out the shamefaced pair...then corrects their estimation of the girl's dimensions.

* [[The Doctor Oz Show|Dr. Oz]] admits it's true: one guest stated that the reason most men would rather skip the foreplay is because, "to a man, sex is about having your penis touched and waiting to have your penis touched." He agreed with her quite readily.

* ''[[Babylon 5]]''. A female journalist interviewing President Sheridan points out the button-camera next to her cleavage "so that men will look in the right direction".

* On ''[[That 70s Show]]'', Eric, Kelso, Hyde, and especially Fez.

* The protagonist of ''[[I Just Want My Pants Back]]'' begins the show incredibly distraught over not having had sex for ''six whole weeks''. [[Sarcasm Mode|However did he keep from slitting his own throat after Week 1]]?

* Even ABC's generally kid-friendly TGIF block wasn't immune to this trope. Specifically, [[Family Matters]] played it straight, with just about every guy Laura dated (except, of course, for Urkel) being a misogynistic pig. Maxine's pre-Waldo love life isn't much better.

** Nope, even Sheldon. When Penny hurts her shoulder in the shower, Sheldon promises he won't look while helping her dress, and thinks himself a hero. When he questions the tattoo on her ass, she points out he said he wouldn't look. His reply: "Heroes don't look, but they do peek."

 

* The Cole Porter song "Most Gentlemen Don't Like Love."

* [[Studio Killers]] demo of their new song, ''All Men Are Pigs'', is exactly what it says on the tin.

{{quote| '''Humph:''' Graeme, this is your question. Is it true that men think about sex every seven seconds?<br />

'''Graeme:''' That is a complete phallus. [[Freudian Slip|...Fallacy!]]<br />

== Theatre ==

* [[Avenue Q]], of course, has the song (and the trope) "[[The Internet Is for Porn]]". All the male characters admit to masturbating to internet porn. Mind, Kate Monster, Christmas Eve, and Lucy the Slut are all pretty [[All Women Are Lustful|lustful]] themselves, though the play is fairly mum on whether or not they're frequent masturbators.

{{quote| Und er beginnt nun zu verstehn (And he's starting to understand)<br />

Daß ihm das Weibes Loch das Grabloch war. (That to him, a woman's hole has been his grave)<br />

** Women are immune to the magazine in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]: Portable Ops'', making female-guard-filled areas a little more difficult to get through. The "[[Unusual Euphemism|Artist]]" ability makes male characters immune to magazines. (Raikov has this ability, incidentally).

* In ''[[Elite Beat Agents]]'', white blood cell nurse Cap White attempts to kill a virus. The virus just intends to see her naked, as demonstrated by failing the first section.

* Nathyrra in [[Neverwinter Nights]] Hordes of the Underdark is almost completely oblivious to this trope. She has trouble figuring out what you are talking about if you ask her if her expression of concern that you might be disoriented by the Underdark constitutes flirting among the drow.

* Subverted in ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]''. During a short skit in the desert, the female members of the party all express a strong desire to shower as soon as they find enough water, and Luke also starts musing to himself, out loud. All the women immediately start berating him, to his genuine confusion... prompting Jade to make an aside to Guy about his luck that they didn't notice ''Guy'' was the one actually drooling at the thought of women showering.

* At one point in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', you have to split up your party again, which then consists of Aerith, Tifa, Barrett and Red XII. If you choose Aerith and Tifa to come with you, Barrett comments, "Yeah, I thought you'd do that." Thus, the game ''itself'' expected the player to follow this trope ([[Les Yay|Wonder what they're implying about female gamers?]])

 

== Visual Novels ==

 

 

== Web Animation ==

 

 

** Of course, ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' characters tend to be pretty immature in all facets of their lives, not just when it comes to sex.

* With the notable exception of Mike, ''[[Sexy Losers]]'', again by the nature of the beast. (Mike's still a pervert. He's just not interested in sex with anyone but himself.)

** Off the whole titular party, Vaarsuvius is probably the only chaste character, having already a mate. Besides Roy, [[Spoony Bard|Elan]] thinks it's a bard duty to seduce female villains (until he gets in a relationship with Haley), [[Heroic Sociopath|Belkar]] continuously spouts innuendo and treats women like sex objects, and even Durkon had a fling with an evil female dwarf. Haley isn't off the hook either, blatantly ogling or fondling Elan even before they're an item.

** Haley seems to cause this. Roy's (dead) father seems to enjoy spying on Haley in the shower, an old halfling colleague enjoys staring at pictures of her in the bath, and the men of the team make her check for traps twice because it's like watching her pole-dance.

* The (very obviously [[NSFW]]) webcomic ''[[Hentai Action Theater]]'' is based on the principle that all men, and most women, are perverts.

{{quote| '''Elliot''': [http://www.egscomics.com/?date{{=}}2010-12-13 I fail at perversion.]}}

* In ''[[Something Positive]]'', even God himself is a pervert who thinks [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]] and only said homosexuality was a sin so that he would be alerted to lesbian couples having sex to spite him. See [http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp04262010.shtml here].

* On the rare occasion that a man appears in ''[[Collar 6]]'', this is in full force.

* Daniel is probably the only male in [[Moon Crest 24]] to avert this trope.

 

== Web Original ==

* The Starkid musical ''Me and My Dick'' begins with the main character personifying this trope.

* In the ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'', the National Enquirer once made an accusation about Ultra-Man, who has X-Ray Vision, using it to scope out "public peep shows" on every woman he passes on the street. Ultra-Man, who grew up in the 30s and 40s and has the manners to match his upbringing, almost leveled the building the tabloid's offices were in out of sheer outrage.

** And let's not forget Zack.

{{quote| '''Dana (to Tom)''': It's just an idea. You don't have to bend over backwards to accomodate me.<br />

 

== Western Animation ==

** Not just Avery--most any cartoon male, esp. in the forties and fifties, respond that way to women, often to his own detriment. A frequent gag involves whistling upon seeing an attractive (often scantily-clad) girl, be she real or just a picture.

* ''[[South Park]]'': Mostly from adults, but sometimes the children do questionable things too.

{{quote| It was an alien! Who was also a wizard! He was casting a spell! *eyes dart around at the nearby female companion* }}

** Kenny is all over this trope.

* Pretty much every male in [[Drawn Together]] is sex-obsessed. Of course, the female characters aren't much better.

** In sheer number of sexual partners, [[Really Gets Around|Foxxy]] beats everyone until she makes a bet with [[Hollywood Pudgy|Toot]], who finds a way to have sex with ''millions'' of men ([[Black Comedy Rape|against their will]]).
