JustA '''Dirty Old Man''' is just what heit sounds like—an older male character, usually unattractive in some way, who takes more than a passive delight in young women. Sometimes he limits himself to just talking dirty and propositioning cute girls, but sometimes he takes matters into his own hands, literally. He's not [[Casanova]], nor is he necessarily trying to be—but he certainly won't complain if things work out that way for him.
 
The "old" part of his description is mostly relative to the girls he accosts—a creepy thirty-something teacher eying his junior high school students is no less a Dirty Old Man than a geezer in his sixties pinching the bottoms of housewives in the supermarket (indeed, it's much worse to drool over underage girls you have power over), though it's worth bearing out that a younger Dirty Old Man's behavior is going to be seen as a good deal ''less'' harmless than that of his hoary-headed counterparts. Probably because a Dirty ''Old'' Man is supposedly less likely to chase his victims, or force worse things upon them.
Line 49:
** Although it's heavily implied that the said post-mortem dirty old man behaves the way he does because of the ''[[Go Mad From the Isolation|decades and decades of isolation that probably made him forget how to interact with women normally.]]''
*** Or mermaids. When realizing that he can't ask to see a mermaid's panties, he proceeds to ask her for money he could borrow.
** One memorable character who fits was Banban from the Water 7 arc. An old friend of "Red Leg" Zeff (Sanji's mentor) who was, like Zeff, an excellent chef, he first came to the eponymous city to gain the rare Aqua Laguna salt found there, and set up shop there because of all the beautiful women there.
* Daisensei (a.k.a. Guru Lou) in ''Kyatto Ninden Teyandee'' (AKA ''[[Samurai Pizza Cats]]''). His lecherous attitude was toned down in the SPC version.
* Master of Chinese Kenpo, Ma Kensei from ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]'', is a shameless pervert. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnSzNvaUfag Among other things], he was introduced trying to secretly take dirty pictures of [[Sexy Mentor|Shigure]] and deftly dodging the shuriken she threw in response.
Line 76 ⟶ 77:
* ''[[Ultimate X-Men]]'': Wolverine and Professor Xavier both fancy Jean, who in this universe is about eighteen or so. Urgh.
** It gets worse: in the main 616 continuity, it was revealed in about the third or fourth issue (from the original 1960s run) that Xavier was in love with Jean, who was ''fifteen'' or so at the time . (It gets worse as a retcon revealed he had helped her with her powers since she was ''twelve''.) That particular plot point was dropped and forgotten about until the ''Onslaught'' saga when Jean was taken on a trip through Xavier's mind where she was exposed to that particular memory, freaking her out to no end.
* In ''[[Preacher]]'', Jesse has dealt with more than his fair share of perverts, but Odin Quincannon, the main antagonist of a seven-issue arc, was one of the worst. A [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] who made his fortune in the meat packing industry and owned the town of Salvation, Texas in all but name, until Jesse became sheriff. {{spoiler|In the final part of the story (where his [[Karma Houdini Warranty]] expired) revealed the extent of his depravities and madness when Jesse discovered he had constructed a statue out of meat in the shape of a woman and was [[Fan Disservice| being... intimate with it]]. When Jesse shot him, it was, in Jesse's own words, a mercy-kill.}}

* Judge Claude Frollo from ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' is another villainous Dirty Old Man with a serious lust for the romantic lead, Esmeralda, who he tries to have [[Burn the Witch|burned at the stake]] when she [[If I Can't Have You|rejects his advances]]. (And, being the hypocritical coward that he is, Frollo insists that his perversion is [[Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny|all]] ''[[Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny|Esmeralda's]]'' [[Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny|fault]].)
* In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story 2]]'', Stinky Pete is seen flirting with some Barbies during the end-credits [[Hilarious Outtakes]].
* Literally said about Mean Mr Mustard in ''[[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (film)|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]''. As the Fembots sing his song Mustard first says accusingly "A DIRTY OLD MAN?" then proudly "Yesssss! A Dirrrty Old Mannnnnn!"

* Patches O'Houlihan from ''[[Dodgeball]]''
{{quote|'''Patches:''' I got a couple'a hookers in my room, queerbag.}}
Line 129 ⟶ 127:
* Humbert Humbert in ''[[Lolita]].''
* [[Isaac Asimov]] wrote a satirical "self-help" book called ''The Sensuous Dirty Old Man''.
* Jubal Harshaw, in ''[[Stranger in Aa Strange Land]]'' and other [[Robert Heinlein|Heinlein works]], is a bit of this with [[Chivalrous Pervert]].
* Reginald Bretnor's Professor Shimmelhorn is said to be quite the charmer of women young and old, and in a more vital sense his hyped-up sex drive seems to inspire his creative streak. Even more important to his fate is his dragonish wife, a tough if [[Clean Old Woman]] who tries to keep him on track, and usually balances out his wild karma.
* [[Charles Bukowski]] wrote a collection of short stories and essays called ''Notes of a Dirty Old Man''.
Line 136 ⟶ 134:
* Mr Whittier from ''[[Haunted (Palahniuk novel)|Haunted]]'' appears to be one of these {{spoiler|[[Younger Than They Look|except he's actually thirteen]].}}

* [[Steptoe and Son|Albert Steptoe]] is one of the [[Ur Example]]s, and probably a candidate for [[Trope Namer]] into the bargain.
* ''[[Benny Hill]]'' often played his characters this way, though reportedly he saw it more as childish playfulness than randy cheekery.
Line 158 ⟶ 155:
* ''[[Sanford and Son]]'': Fred.
{{quote|'''Lamont:''' You're a dirty old man!
'''Fred:''' That's right! And I'm gonna be one 'til I'm a ''dead'' old man! }}
*:* Then again, ''Sanford and Son'' is the [[Trans-Atlantic Equivalent]] of ''[[Steptoe and Son]]'', and as such Fred possesses many of his counterpart's traits.
* Stanley H. Tweedle, captain of the ''[[Lexx]]'', constantly trying to get any, so much it became a plot device in the series.
* ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]'' has Leo, a rich, lecherous, certifiably-insane old-timer, played by Rip Taylor, who took lessons at Esteban's dance school, and was constantly hitting on Carey, and Shannon, his private nurse.
Line 173 ⟶ 170:
* [[Statler and Waldorf]] drift into this territory at times.
* Agravaine from ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'', who is fascinated with both Morgana and Guinevere in the creepiest way possible. He's already picked up a [[Fan Nickname]]: "Uncle Creeper."

Line 186 ⟶ 182:
* This is one possible interpretation of [[The Stranglers]]' ''Peaches''.
 
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
* In ''[[Beetle Bailey]]'', General Halftrack's tendency to leer and gawk at [[Sexy Secretary|Miss Buxley]] (much to the chagrin of his wife and Miss Blips, the other secretary) is a [[Running Gag]].
 
== Mythology[[Oral Tradition]], Folklore, Myths and ReligionLegends ==
* [[King Arthur|Merlin]]. Makes sense since his father was apparently an [[Horny Devils|incubus]]. His lust for young maidens even leads to his downfall thanks to Nimue.
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
 
== Tabletop Games ==
* Amazingly, one ''[[Paranoia (game)|Paranoia]]'' NPC manages it: Innocent-MAN's name saves him from being terminated as a traitor (due to a bug in the justice software), his mutant power of regeneration saves him from being killed accidentally, then the "dirty" part finally kicks in after The Computer crashes and lots of clones stop getting dosed with hormone suppressants.
* When Paizo Publishing ran a caption competition for [http://images.wikia.com/pathfinder/images/f/f0/Taking_it_easy.jpg this piece of artwork] for ''[[Pathfinder]]'', a number of entries made Ezren (the old wizard reclining in the background) to be the real perv through the use of scrying spells, despite the more obvious target of Valeros (the fighter guy in the pool).
 
== Theater[[Theatre]] ==
* Senex from ''[[A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum]]''. His wife even gets a song about him called—what else?--"Dirty Old Man".
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
 
== Video Games ==
* Father Salade in ''[[La Pucelle|La Pucelle Tactics]]''. Shortly into the game, it's found out that he suggested the two female leads' costumes, including a "micro-mini under your robe" for Alouette. He's found out when the two girls compare notes.
* ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney|Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations]]'' has Victor Kudo. He has a thing for maid outfits.
Line 233 ⟶ 229:
* In ''[[Parodius|Sexy Parodius]]'', an aged Takosuke has become a dirty old octopus.
* ''[[Battle Golfer Yui]]'': For some reason, Professor G decides to make the bust of Yui's robotic clone 5 cm bigger than the original. He's trying to say his version of Yui is better in every way, even in beauty.
* [[Drunken Boxing|Bo Rai Cho]] from ''[[Mortal Kombat]]''; as stated in ''[[Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance|Deadly Alliance]]'', and given how he interacts towards the female Kombatats (including those he is allied with) [[Fan Disservice|it's easy to see why.]]
* Jubei Yamada, Mai Shiranui's sensei from ''[[Fatal Fury 2]]''. He has a history of being a peeping tom and at least once groped Shiranui without her consent.
 
== Web Comics ==
Line 255 ⟶ 253:
** -> '''GRANDPA:''' ''(While stroking poster)'' Oh [[Cargo Ship|Black Luster Soldier]], no one must know of our forbidden love.
* Danya, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'', can smack of this at times, and very often it overlaps with [[Nightmare Fetishist]], since usually it involves commentary about the female students in the [[Deadly Game|game]]. Granted, one could say that he is hoping for [[Fan Service]] for the ratings, but sometimes, you have to wonder...
 
 
== Western Animation ==
Line 268 ⟶ 265:
'''Connie:''' Mom!
'''Quagmire:''' I like where this is goin'! }}
*:* And again:
{{quote|'''Quagmire:''' Hey Meg, [[The Jailbait Wait|you eighteen yet?]]
'''Megan:''' No.
'''Quagmire:''' ''(walks past her)'' Hey Chris! How's it goin'? }}
*:* Several episodes have also featured the series protagonist, Peter Griffin, playing the part of a Dirty Old Man.
* Popeye's dad, Poopdeck Pappy, was constantly flirting with women. In a subversion, they often flirt back.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'': Iroh is usually well-behaved, but is not above a compliment or two for a pretty woman—or a not-so-pretty woman if he thinks it will get him preferential treatment. However, when June and Zuko are paralyzed by her Shirshu and June is thrown atop him, he doesn't move, even though Zuko points out the Shirshu didn't get him. He smiles, and June rolls her eyes.
Line 281 ⟶ 278:
* The fact that [[Rugrats|Grandpa Lou Pickles']] personal favorite film is ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS-sGGy6sdA Lonely Space Vixens]'' is enough evidence for him to be counted as one.
* Phil from ''[[Hercules (Disney film)|Hercules]]''; what, you expected differently from a satyr?
* In ''[[Harley Quinn (TV series)|Harley Quinn]]'', Gordon is a borderline case, as he knows enough about Britney Bionic and Kylie Kryptonite (two adult film stars who portrayed Harley and Ivy in a film called ''[[Parallel Porn Titles|The Drilling Joke]]'') to recognize them and address them by name. Of course, the younger police with him are no better.
* In ''[[The Smurfs (animation)|The Smurfs]]'' episode “Romeo and Smurfette”, Papa Smurf himself barely subverts this. With the whole village struck by “spring fever” and trying to woo Smurfette, he scolds them for being so boorish and tells them to leave her alone - [[Not So Above It All| only to briefly flirt with her himself]]. Fortunately only briefly, as he stops, apologizes, and then excuses himself, mumbling, “If only I were 450 years younger…”
* Shorty from ''[[Tangled (2010 film)|Tangled]]'' is a lecherous drunkard who compares Mother Gothel to "a tall drink of water" - [[Getting Crap Past the Radar| uh yeah, look it up]], one of the notorious "hidden" dirty jokes in [[Disney]] and one that clearly qualifies him for the Trope.
