Funny Afro: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

Afros are funny.

 

Compare/contrast [[Afro Asskicker]], when the afro is made up for by the sheer badassness of the wearer.

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' has particular fun with this, mentioning them throughout the series and even assigning specific colors to character. The otherwise hairless frogs frequently and inexplicably end up wearing an afro after [[Non-Fatal Explosions]]. Several bits of the soundtrack (notably several of the [[Ending Theme]]s) are essentially [[Everythings Funkier With Disco|disco numbers]]. There's also the character of Dasonu Maso, an alien pop star who has admitted he's a [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|shameless knock-off]] of "Dance Man", the disco-themed J-Pop artist who provided the show's first closing theme, "Afro Gunsou", and who seems more interested in giving the other characters afros than in actually performing.

** Classic pot-calling-kettle-black moment: Kuma/Jinno mocks Afro's hair, telling him how ridiculous he looks... while wearing a huge teddy bear head.

* Masumi Okuyama from ''[[Nodame Cantabile]]''. His over-the-top behavior often provides comic relief and other characters occasionally poke fun at his hair in passing.

* From ''[[Miami Guns]]'', Chief Amano wears an afro, and gets very angry if someone says it's out of date. In the first episode, officers assembled at a hostage situation ''cheer for the afro.''

* Lambo from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]''. He can store anything in it. Even a bazooka which is big enough to swallow him and I-Pin whole.
