The heroes have had it. They've been captured and tied up, and can only watch mutely and impotently as the [[Evil Overlord]]'s final plans unfold.

It's not hard to see why this should happen. Villainy, as a profession, tends to attract [[Large Ham|flamboyant personality types]]. Still, this is no excuse for dressing up as a [[Depraved Homosexual|gothic drag queen]] during the least appropriate times, and no amount of [[Super Strength|inhuman strength]], [[Kick the Dog|dog-kicking]], or [[Magnificent Bastard]]-ness can restore a villain's menace once it's been undercut by a move like this, at least most of the time. (Unless the villain happens to be a [[Monster Clown]], and the over-the-top costume and makeup is part of his/her schtick.)

Of course, it was also stated in the Evil Overlord List #29, which stated "I will dress in bright and cheery colors, and so throw my enemies into confusion." Still, that's no excuse for not doing it ''well''.

▲{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* If you're a female villain or [[Monster of the Week]] in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', you will have a bad outfit. The rare exceptions are good guys turned into bad guys (Black Lady, Mistress 9) or the [[Big Bad]] (Galaxia, Nehellenia, Beryl), and even some of them have questionable tastes.
* Not a costume, exactly, but [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|the ridiculously over-the-top]] "Blue Eyes White Dragon Jet" that Seto Kaiba flies in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' series has definitely got to qualify for this trope. It gets plenty of fun poked at it in the ''Abridged Version''.
** Though, to do it justice, in the Manga it was a fully-functional Fighter Jet just painted to look like Blue-Eyes. You wouldn't be laughing when you found out that it still had all of its weaponry.
* ''[[Code Geass]] R2'': After seeing Lelouch's and Suzaku's new outfits after episode 21, the fanbase spent ''weeks'' snickering childishly. The actual outfits really aren't that bad, being designed by [[CLAMP]]... but... well, they... are... designed by CLAMP. Lelouch's outfit is the better one of the two, but the [[Nice Hat]] just pushes it past the "Pope/Not Pope" outfit threshold. Suzaku looks OK while wearing the cape, but then he takes it off and you see he has ''skin-tight shoulders''. The fact that their arms and legs are ''insanely long'' (there's a reason why fans call CLAMP's character's noodle people) doesn't help.
** A CLAMP artbook shows that the [[Nice Hat]] could have been worse. the original version looked like nothing so much as a kite; the hat he does wear in the show is merely the base of the original.
Line 35:
** For some, the overly fancy looking ornamental sword Lelouch carried, which to most looks like a plastic toy, was usually taken more seriously after {{spoiler|he got fatally skewered by it in the last episode}} while others have said that the sword actually ruined the aforementioned scene for them, sending it from [[Tear Jerker]] to [[Narm]] territory.
** Several Britannia nobles have hairstyles out of date by at least a hundred years, including the Emperor. The British [[British Courts|just really love wigs]].
* About half of the main villains in ''[[
** The Pillar Men wear nothing but loincloths and over-the-top Aztec accessories.
** Most villains would never be able to get away with half of the costumes Dio wears throughout Part 3. Also, his [[The Renfield|Renfield]], Vanilla Ice, has a sillier outfit.
Line 60:
* [[Smug Snake]] Shapiro Keats from ''[[Dancougar]]'' likes his purple eyeliner and has the fashion sense of [[David Bowie]].
* In [[Shiki]], if you are one of the titular [[Our Vampires Are Different|Shiki]], if you aren't a mook, you get a fabulous outfit. Tatsumi apparently has cat ears as expressive hair and an outfit which probably gets him a lot of willing female Shiki. Then there's the Shiki who apparently is Vampire Lady Gaga. Sunako has utterly insane hair and a Victorian dress, and Megumi's fashion fails could get a page of their own.
* In ''[[City Hunter]]'', there's an [[In-Universe]] example with one of the [[Monster of the Week|Villains Of The Week]]: after he managed to capture both Ryo Saeba and the girl he was protecting, a fashion designer, said girl accuses him of poor fashion taste upon seeing his clothes; this flusters him, as when they meet later after Ryo and the girl made their escape, he has put up ''more'' tacky clothes, and inevitably gets further mocked by the protagonists, to his embarrassment.
* ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'' gives us Jake Martinez, who manages to be terrifying while looking like... Well, picture the phrase [http://thisissternbild.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/commie-tiger-bunny-12-78de0162-mkv_snapshot_07-02_2011-06-20_10-14-23.jpg "glam rock serial killer"].
* Envy of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', who's running around in a skirt, and a tanktop, and has his/her/its hair in what looks like a palm tree. First-Anime!Wrath is as bad or worse, since it's that same outfit on a ten-year old boy.
* Fuala Griffon from ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Victory Gundam]]'' thinks she rocks a look via using ''cat bells'' as earrings and putting on a pink spacesuit. She doesn't.
** Also, the Zanscare meetings become unintentionally hilarious when you see either grunts or commanders wearing really stupid-looking old-fashioned wigs. Even people who do realize the parallels between the Zanscare "fashion" and traditional looks associated to some officer posts are... weirded out, to say but politely.
* In the first ''[[Appleseed]]'' movie the officers of the Olympos Regular Army wear completely ridiculous teal uniforms.
* While not a ''[[Anti-Villain|villain]] per se'', at least not an outright one, Mello's outfits in ''[[Death Note]]'' are often bizarre, to say the least.
* When {{spoiler|Sugata}} joins the Glittering Crux in ''[[Star Driver]]'', he comes out wearing...''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120527230556/http://www.japanator.com/elephant//ul/18986-annotated-anime-only-edition-winter-2011-week-11/stardriver23a-620x.jpg this.]'' Even in a show full of [[Camp Straight]], and bad fashion choices, his outfit just goes beyond.
==
* [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/273218 This flash animation] gives us [[Marvel]]'s less than stellar choices in villainous fashions. At least Galactus has an excuse.
{{quote|
** In the tie-in comic for ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'', [[Devil May Cry|Dante]] even comments, upon looking at him, that adding a cape and a cane, Galactus would be the biggest pimp he'd ever seen.
** Also from Marvel, we have Black Talon. [[Deadpool]]'s [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wkKt_mUc7Ug/SYp9NQK_VDI/AAAAAAAAGgc/Qjt2C1RkTkU/s1600-h/BlackTalon.jpg encounter with him] says it all.
** And Mysterio, who wears what appears to be an upside-down goldfish bowl on his head. This is especially hilarious because he's supposed to be a [[Master of Illusion]], yet he apparently has never thought that it might be a good idea to create the illusion that he isn't ''wearing an upside-down goldfish bowl on his head''. Eventually they caught on, and when his illusionary gas was enhanced by Dr. Doom, he went around town with the rest of [[Spider-Man]]'s [[Rogues Gallery]] in various disguises - a metal band, a punk band, and a schoolboy - with the [[Sexy Man, Instant Harem|rest of them as schoolgirls]]. Of course, they didn't know how they appeared.
*** A charming cartoonist named Katie Cook has [[Lampshaded]] [http://katiecandraw.typepad.com/.a/6a00e550a9fd7d88340120a6310488970b-pi the fishbowl effect.]
*** The exact same thing was done in the first ''Spider-Man'' Playsation game, if "What If?" mode was activated.
*** It seems that everyone has made fun of Mysterio's headgear - ''[[Marvel Ultimate Alliance]]'' has Spidey bringing it up if he's part of your team on the helicarrier, for example. In fact, "fishbowl for a head" is Spidey's ''favorite'' method of addressing him.
*** They fixed that in ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' where he loses the fishbowl and instead just has a vaguely head-shaped cloud of fog drifting above the metal device he wears around his shoulders. It's actually rather creepy but still, the beads he wears around his left hand look kind of silly.
*** He's [[Zero Punctuation|been described]] as having been dressed by the [[Camp Gay|Liberace]] [[Space Clothes|Space Program]].
* A rather unknown (for a reason) Marvel comic called ''Thunderstrike'' featured a villain called Carjack (
* ''[[The Flash]]'' villain The Rainbow Raider: Admittedly, he is colorblind, so it's not really his fault, but still.
* ''[[Doom Patrol]]'' villain Codpiece. He has a laser cannon mounted [https://web.archive.org/web/20130121074447/http://www.headinjurytheater.com/images/dpc%20codpiece%201.jpg exactly where you would guess he does] from that name, and while he was actually pretty damn dangerous with it, the costume was no less hilarious for many reasons. Then again he fought The Doom Patrol who are... weird...
* [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f9/Deimosdcu.png Deimos] from ''[[The Warlord]]''. Between the pixie boots, the bare midriff, the long, dangling loincloth, the random high collar and the huge sleeves, there's something here for everybody to laugh at.
* Sometime during the '90s, Dc introduced [[Batman|Nightwing]]'s future self from an alternate reality. He started a out as a good guy before being turned to the dark side rather quickly. He wasn't the first Bat-family member to do so, or the last, but certainly [http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/4231/teamtitans8.jpg the worst dressed.] [[Spikes of Villainy]]. Mullet. ''Nipple piercing.'' Only half a shirt, but an enormous 1970's collar to compensate. Surely it all made sense in the mind of a madman.Of course, then it in a shocking twist, it he was actually just some guy who had no relation to Nightwing whatsoever and wasn't really from the future. It was the 90s.
Line 92:
== [[
* This trope is spoofed in ''[[The Return (fanfic)|The Return]]'', where [[Big Bad]] Alexia and her [[The Dragon|Dragon]] Aurora continually dress like catwalk models with OTT fake tans and makeup and are mercilessly mocked by the heroes. Thanks to an [[Evil Makeover]] {{spoiler|Dark Mercury}} also comes in for ribbing, but she is acting more as a [[Card-Carrying Villain]] on purpose so probably feels she needs the rather hideous and impractical get up.
* The parody crossover
* In [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7295884/1/Mao_Grou this] [[Kung Fu Panda]] fanfic, ''everyone'' (yes, even the [[Villain Protagonist|protagonists]]) is a
* ''[[My Immortal]]'' takes this to its logical conclusion, where all the bad guys are stereotypical preps wearing pink. It has the balls to depict [[Big Bad|Voldemort]]/[[Rouge Angles of Satin|Volfemort/Vlodemort/Volxemort/]][[Star Wars|Darth Valer/]][[The Matrix|Tom Andorson/]][[The Lord of the Rings|Tom Bombodil]] wearing '''high heels'''.
* ''[[Queen of All Oni]]'': Minor villain [[Smug Snake|Lung]], at least in the opinion of Tarakudo. And since the former's described as looking like "[[Flash Gordon (comic strip)|Ming The Merciless']] Goth cousin", the latter may have a point. And in addition to clothes, Tarakudo also derides Lung's choice of lair, viewing his abandoned, ancient, cliffside fortress as an unoriginal cliche.
Line 104:
* A utilitarian example occurs in the ''[[James Bond (film)|James Bond]]'' film, ''[[Dr. No]]''. The protective suit the title character wears at the end of the film is Narmtastic.
** This was parodied at the end of the first ''[[Austin Powers]]'' movie. The clear see-thru suit Dr. Evil is wearing seems to serve no useful purpose, other than making him comically slide off chairs whenever he tries to sit on them.
{{quote|
* The ''[[Masters of the Universe (film)|Masters of the Universe]]'' movie. Frank Langella's golden Skeletor costume, acquired after he achieves ultimate power, plows a line right through Narm and crosses back over to [[So Bad It's Good|Totally Awesome]] again. It's like a gay metallic Chiquita-Banana-ator.
* An example occurs in the live action [[Dr. Seuss]] movie ''[[The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T]]''. The costume the titular mad conductor wears at the end is probably the most flamboyant example of this trope ever made. The villain's dress-up routine even [[Villain Song|gets its own song]] written about it.

{{quote|
** Really, Riddler spent the entire movie getting steadily more ridiculous, culminating in a costume containing five thousand pounds of glitter.
** Mr. Freeze from ''[[Batman and Robin (film)|Batman and Robin]]'' wears a bathrobe. With polar bear slippers. [[Franchise Killer|Just another nail in the series coffin.]]
* Xerxes in ''[[300]]'' wears a gold cape and speedo and is covered in gold chains and facial piercings. The facial piercings are a shared trait among the Persians, while the speedo seems to be a universal trait in the film's warped version of reality.
* Ming the Merciless in ''[[Flash Gordon (film)| Flash Gordon]]'', especially in [[Flash Gordon (film)|the 1980 movie]].
* Averted in ''[[Labyrinth]]'': clothes that would look ridiculous on a lesser man actually look pretty spectacular on [[David Bowie]].
* In its deconstruction of superheros, ''[[Watchmen (film)|Watchmen]]'' features a lot of snide comments about the intentionally silly costumes that heroes and villains wear. Veidt's bright purple-and-gold suit and mask are overtly compared to Studio 54 excess.
* Todd Spengo from ''[[Mom and Dad Save The World]]''. Then again... everyone on the planet of Spengo has bad fashion sense.
* Evilene in the Sidney Lumet version of ''[[The Wiz]]'' wore a large, garish-looking dress which, like many items in the movie, seemed to be made of garbage.
Line 123:
* The [[Big Bad]] from ''[[Warriors of Virtue]]'' definitely qualifies as this. And in a movie about ninja kangaroos no less.
* Darius Sayle in ''[[Alex Rider|Stormbreaker]]''. Because nothing says "scary villain" like Mickey Rourke in a white pimp coat and Jack Sparrow makeup.
* Gozer from ''[[Ghostbusters]]''.
* ''[[Megamind]]'' plays with this a lot, as the [[Villain Protagonist]] wears ever more ridiculous giant collared outfits. He's [[Genre Savvy]] enough to know that the key to being a super-villain is "PRESENTATION!" (cue Guns N' Roses).
* Matthew Patel in ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]]'' is dressed pretty ridiculously, to the point where someone actually thinks he's dressed like a pirate. Patel responds defensively:
{{quote|
** Patel is deliberately portrayed as a typical over-the-top Bollywood villain.
* Even for the 80s, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QObDZUscd4k Velvet Von Ragnar], played by Gene Simmons from the movie ''[[Never Too Young
* [[Jeremy Irons|Profion's]] sidekick in ''[[Dungeons
** Damodar becomes the [[Big Bad]] in the sequel, somehow losing his badassery.
* In ''[[Zoolander]]'', Mugatu looks like an unholy mixture of Satan, Cruella DeVille, and a poodle. He also inexplicably dresses up as a young German boy during the brainwashing scene.
Line 136:
== Literature ==
* Esmé Squalor in ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'' is an extreme example.
* ''[[Soon I Will Be Invincible]]'': [[Who Dares?]] laugh at the tights and red velour cape of Doctor Impossible
* One goblin villain in the Drizzt Do'Urden series combined this with [[Rummage Sale Reject]]
* [[War of the Dreaming|Azrael de Gray]], [[Evil Sorcerer]] and [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]. Also known as "That guy in the pimp jewelry."
* Ublaz Mad Eyes in ''[[Redwall]]''. His evil plan, resulting in years of work and the horrible deaths of hundreds of innocents, was all so he could get hold of a pink pearl crown.
Line 146:
* As noted, ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' has had plenty of movies that feature this trope. The top page quote comes from the movie ''[[Operation Double 007]]'', which had the main, middle-aged male villain dressing in a flowy silver caftan and (at the end) a skintight red pleather suit.
** Traxartus, the villain of the movie ''Deathstalker'', frequently wore short tunics with boatneck collars, pink fur, and satin turbans.
{{quote|
'''Crow:''' Wait -- something of ''mine''... }}
** ''[[Puma Man]]'' had [[Big Bad]] Donald Pleasance wearing a girly black and silver tunic.
Line 153:
** The cone-headed invaders from ''[[Invasion of the Neptune Men]]''.
** Xenos, the evil priest king from ''[[Gor|Outlaw of Gor]]''. Even the fact that he was played by the incredibly [[Badass]] Jack Palance couldn't make up for the fact that he was wearing a long dress and a hat that looked like an opening seed pod.
** Even Dr. Forrester himself, after Joel and the bots discuss world domination schemes and costumes following the ''[[Undersea Kingdom]]'' short in the ''[[Attack

* [[Triple H]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJu_DxQ2uYU entrance] from ''[[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] Wrestlemania 22'' definitely qualifies here, for the worst Conan outfit ever.

* Damien Demento, especially his hairy Venus flytrap shoulder pads.
* When [[Goldust]] [[Face Heel Turn|turned back to heel at one point]], he became [[The Trope Formerly Known as X|The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust]], who wore [http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/1346/goldust3vt2.jpg garish, disturbing outfits].
Line 196:
** Team Rocket grunts in ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]'' have pink hair. All of them.
** [[Pokémon Black and White|Team Plasma]] has their agents dressed like Crusade-era knights, complete with Chi Rho on their chest cloth. A few folks on the internet think of them as Renaissance Faire rejects.

* Almost everyone from ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'', but special care must be taken to name Shinnok, Quan-Chi, Sindel, Shang Tsung in MK3, Kano in MK3, and many others. For some reason they don't seem so goofy in the game (except Shang Tsung and his dorky fighting stance), but if you've ever seen pictures of the actors wearing their actual costumes, it is very hard not to laugh. Most of the Earth Realm warrior look rather normal, particularly dressed down characters like Lu Kang and Johnny Cage. Unless doing everything shirtless counts. Sonya, and the ninjas (well, male ninjas anyway) also look rather normal.
* Jeanne from ''[[Bayonetta]]'' wears a red jumpsuit with a huge poofy collar and a bow just above her ass, open-toed, high-heeled sandals, and fluffy tassels on her guns. However, she has nothing on Balder, who wears a ''dead white peacock stole'', a golden quarter mask, and an earring-attached monocle over said mask. [[Fashionable Asymmetry|And a single glove]].

Line 209:
* One of [[Big Bad]] Sadler's [[Dragon]]'s Ramon Salazar from [[Resident Evil 4]]. Not only does he look like a wrinkly literal [[Man Child]], his outfit makes him look like a mini-Napoleon wanna-be that makes it practically impossible to take seriously (if not for his better dressed towering mutant [[Mooks]])
* In ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', [[Big Bad Wannabe]] Benny wears a checkered suit that makes him look like a [[Honest John's Dealership|used car]] [[Smug Snake|salesman]]. NPCs and companions will even remark about how ugly the suit is after he's dead.
** Benny is based on real-life mobster Bugsy Siegel, who owned a [https://web.archive.org/web/20111011083443/http://a.abcnews.com/images/US/nm_bugsy_siegel_mobster_110120_ssh_ssh.jpg similarly hideous suit].
* Shen Yu (a [[Fu Manchu]] [[Expy]]) in ''[[Evil Genius (video game)|Evil Genius]]'' wears a long, ornate robe of yellow, black, red, and white, complete with a dragon medallion the size of his head and a jade jewel ''in his forehead''. He's almost completely bald, save for a single ponytail. He appears to be wearing blue eye shadow and has perfectly-groomed eyebrows, a ridiculous mustache, and painted fingernails.
