Line 96:
* The parody crossover ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/53202/1/Harry_Potter_in_the_Realm_of_Dungeons_and_Dragons Harry Potter in the Realm of Dungeons and Dragons]'' plays with this. [[Harry Potter|Harry, Ron and Hermione]] wind up in the realm of the animated show ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (animation)|Dungeons and Dragons]]'', where much amusement is gotten from the fact that the D&D kids regularly face off with "a one-horned devil in an evening gown".
* In [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7295884/1/Mao_Grou this] [[Kung Fu Panda]] fanfic, ''everyone'' (yes, even the [[Villain Protagonist|protagonists]]) is a Fashion Victim Villain. The biggest offender is, probably fittingly enough, {{spoiler|Josef Stalin}}.
* ''[[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 129:
** 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 to Die]]'', had hilariously bad fashion sense.
* [[Jeremy Irons|Profion's]] sidekick in ''[[Dungeons & Dragons (film)
** 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]]—all his clothing was scavenged at random off slain humans, and he had no idea what went with what. For that matter, he had no idea that bras are female-only.
* [[War of the Dreaming|Azrael de Gray]], [[Evil Sorcerer]] and [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]. Also known as "That guy in the pimp jewelry."
Line 169:
== Pro Wrestling ==
* [[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. Should have saved that one for Halloween, Trips... Not that [[Face]] [[John Cena]]'s homage to Al Capone was much better.
* 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].
