Dirty Old Man: Difference between revisions

{{quote|'''Mike:''' I can't keep burdening Lisa forever, but I do have a Happy Box and nice-bodied girls like Nan and Linda to keep me company, so I'm pretty happy in my own way. Nyahahahaha!

'''Linda:''' I'm sorry, Mike, but that's called sexual harassment these days.

 

 

Just what he 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.

 

 

* Belgian comic ''Violine'', about a 10 year old girl who can read people's minds by staring into their eyes, has an encounter with one of these that appears to be played partially straight and partially for dark humor. Violine escapes from her school where she was accused of being a witch, and finds a random man driving by who offers her a ride. The man takes her away from the direction she told him she lived, however, and she gets suspicious. Staring into his eyes to read his mind, Violine sees an image of herself bound and gagged and looking up with pleading eyes while lying on a pillow. Angered and scared, she attempts to escape and crash his car.

* The Brazilian comic ''[[Holy Avenger]]'' has Talude, Maximum Master of magic. While demonstrating the art of (weak) enchantments, he make a boy sit. When he goes to show the limitations he tries to make a girl take her clothes.

 

 

== Fan Works ==

* Gandalf has become one in ''[[Bag Enders]]''.

 

== Films -- Animation ==

* 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]].)

 

 

== Films -- Live Action ==

* Patches O'Houlihan from ''[[Dodgeball]]''

* A good movie example is Burgess Meredith's character from ''[[Grumpy Old Men]]''.

* Judge Turpin of ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (film)|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street]]'' is an evil example of a Dirty Old Man played very seriously. Not only does he rape the title character's wife at a masked ball after having her husband "transported for life", but he also has [[Wife Husbandry]] plan for Sweeney's daughter Johanna, which doesn't work because Johanna hates him and has eyes for young sailor Anthony Hope.

* Uncle Willy in ''[[The Philadelphia Story]]'', who pinches all the young ladies (including his niece).

* Connery seems to be quite good at playing this sort of character. In both ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'' and ''[[Entrapment]]'', he falls for a much younger woman. In ''Last Crusade'', that woman is even younger than his ''son''.

* In ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me]]'', Karl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens) takes mild advantage of a helpless Anya (Barbara Bach) while she's strapped to a couch. When the movie was released in 1977 Jurgens was 62 and Ms. Bach was 30.

* Grandpa Hoover in ''[[Little Miss Sunshine]]'' is the quintessential Dirty Old Man.

'''Richard:''' Hey! Hey! Dad! That's enough! Stop it!

'''Grandpa:''' Will you kindly not interrupt me, Richard! See, right now you're jailbait, they're jailbait. It's perfect. I mean, you hit 18, man! You're talkin' about three to five. }}

* Jerry in ''[[Space Cowboys]]''.

* Jason's former neighbor in ''[[Mystery Team]]''.
