Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

For most people, their looks fade somewhat as they get older, being only appreciated by their long-term loves.

'''Does not count for immortal or ageless characters.'''

 

 

Contrast with [[I Was Quite a Looker]]. See also [[Christmas Cake]], and [[Likes Older Women]]. When adding examples, avoid people who are [[Hollywood Old]]. They must be visibly old for the trope to be in effect. Do not confuse with [[Older Than They Look]], or its extreme counterpart, [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]], unless they look old to a normal person despite being far older than that would imply on its own. See also [[Grande Dame]]. For elderly female characters who are more noted for concupiscence than attractiveness, see [[Dirty Old Woman]].

 

 

* Somewhat strangely, a subversion of this occurs in the [[Distant Finale]] of ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''. Almost everyone who was older after the first timeskip looks like they aged rather badly, with Rossiu and Simon getting the worst of it, and apparently this happened to Yoko as well, so much so her face is probably not seen in this segment because like her figure (which seems to have taken the ravages of time less well then expected), it's gone downhill rather badly. The only ones who seem to have been immune to this were the ones who were still young after the first timeskip and Leeron (who is far too [[Camp Gay|fabulous]] to age).

* Doctor Kureha from ''[[One Piece]]'' is close to 140 years old, and though [[Older Than They Look|her face looks like someone in their 70s]], [[Male Gaze|her body is far more attractive]]. It helps that she dresses like a teenage girl.

*** Shakky is also seen in a flashback, and over the years doesn't seem to have aged a day.

* ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' has Bulma's mom, and eventually Chichi. Bulma herself too, if you count Dragonball GT.

* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', Gauron (not so much in the anime, but in the "Sigma" manga) looks rather rugged and handsome, despite being at ''least'' 50.

** Or, for those of us who don't like them [[Ax Crazy]], there's also silver-haired [[Cool Old Guy]] Andrei Kalinin.

** Joked about in ''[[Manga/Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Abridged|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Abridged]]'':

{{quote|'''Joseph''': That's a picture. Of me. Sitting on a couch. With my legs spread open. Naked. This picture was on the cover of GDILFs Magazine's 'Top Ten Sexiest, Most [[Precision F-Strike|F*** able]] Grandpas'. I was number one. [[Accidental Innuendo|Beating both]] Monkey D. Garp from ''[[One Piece]]'', and Uncle Iroh from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Avatar]]''.

'''Joseph''': '''VERY...very...recent.''' }}

** And his grandson Jotaro as a father looks younger than he was as a high-school student, and looks good [http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb17/antar000/Jojoolder.jpg?t=1280805849 in snakeskin pants].

* Balalaika, the leader of Hotel Moscow from ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', is one of the oldest characters in the regular cast (save possibly Sister Yolanda from the Church of Violence), but is still attractive, even with half of her face scarred all to hell.

* While most of the adult women in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' are quite attractive, Eva probably takes the cake. She's got to be at least 50 and she doesn't look a day over 30. Probably doesn't hurt that she's mastered numerous martial arts and kept her figure extremely fit. This is particularly notable in episode 19 of the anime during a scene that shows her and little {{spoiler|Ange}} at a fancy dinner party, seen [http://i50.tinypic.com/2w7fih2.jpg here]. Oddly enough, only twelve years after the {{spoiler|Rokkenjima incident}} we see that she's aged like a zombie, possibly due to the fact that {{spoiler|she developed a heart condition that eventually kills her}}.

* Tsunade from ''[[Naruto]]'' is of an age with Jiraiya (early 50s), but looks 30, by using a [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|transformation jutsu]]. Also falls under the [[Vain Sorceress]] trope. She looks far older than she is when she's not using her transformation jutsu, and looks about 70.

* Thorkell the Tall from ''[[Vinland Saga]]''.

* [[Human Aliens|Leesha]], the Commander of the Saint exploration ship in ''[[Mahoromatic]]'', looks rather youthful and and attractive, even though she is old enough to be Suguru's grandmother. {{spoiler|In actual fact, she ''is'' his grandmother.}}

* ''[[Yandere Kanojo]]'' has Manabu's grandfather, who is portrayed as [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yandere_kanojo/v03/c024.1/13.html absurdly charming.] It's also implied that he still successful bar hops for women.

 

* The ''[[Ultimate Marvel]]'' version of Aunt May.

** So is her ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'' incarnation.

* Jacob Kane, father of Kate Kane, the modern [[Batwoman]], is in at least his 50s or 60s but is still pretty good looking. It probably helps that he's a career [[Good-Looking Privates|Army]] Colonel.

 

 

** Not to mention many of Heinlein's later works where many aging characters undergo 'rejuvenation' to regain youthful bodies.

* ''Sisterhood'' series by [[Fern Michaels]]: Myra Rutledge and Countess Anne "Annie" Ryland de Silva. Both of them are in their 60s and heading on to 70s. Make no mistake, they are old enough to be your grandmother, and they are incredibly sexy! In fact, ''Weekend Warriors'' has Nikki Quinn and Barbara Rutledge commenting that Myra looks better at 60 plus years old than they do at 30 plus years old. Now that's hotness!

* Belgarath in ''[[The Belgariad]]'' is an [[Elderly Immortal]] who looks to be in his eighties or nineties. Right up until he takes off his shirt, demonstrating that while his face may be that of an old man, his body is not.

* [[Kinsey Millhone]] definitely thinks her landlord Henry, who is around eighty, is very sexy.

 

* Agnes Moorehead's Endora in ''[[Bewitched]]''. Creepy, yes; kooky, yes. But hot, nevertheless.

** Ironic, too, because in her youth, Moorehead usually played very dowdy and matronly characters.

** Well, she was played by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000079/ Raquel Welch].

* ''[[Scrubs]]'': JD has sex with a new grandmother (her daughter was a patient, for the delivery), who easily fits the category in "My Best Moment".

** President Laura Roslin

** Admiral Adama is a Foxy Grandpa. Mrrow.

** Gibbs.

** Jenny Shepherd.

* Honor Blackman in the ITV sitcom ''[[The Upper Hand]]'' (and also in [[Real Life]]).

* The actresses in so many pharmaceutical commercials now.

* Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell from ''[[Prison Break]]''.

* Gemma from ''[[Sons of Anarchy]]'', enough to be checked out and commented on by the much younger Prospect, Half-Sack.

** She is, of course, played by [[Married... with Children|Katey]] [[Futurama|Sagal]].

* In ''[[CSI: NY]]'' Mac Taylor definitely fits this trope.

* ''[[The Old Guys]]'' has several attractive older women as recurring characters, particularly Sally and "Sexy Barbara" the [[Hot Librarian]].

* [[Kyra Sedgwick]]'s Brenda Leigh Johnson on ''[[The Closer]]''.

* Resident sex-bomb Rose from ''[[Keeping Up Appearances]]'' is portrayed by fifty-something Mary Millar and her age-defying legs.

* ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' had the titular Sarah Jane, also of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fame, who remained heartbreakingly lovely until the day [[Elisabeth Sladen]] passed away, in spite of her battle with the cancer that claimed her life.

* In 1971, then 38-year old Eileen Fulton had a clause put in her contract that her ''[[As the World Turns]]'' character Lisa could not become a grandmother (a clause which would remain in effect for some fifteen years), as she was involved in a number of romantic, front-burner storylines, and feared that if Lisa became a grandmother, she would "be put in an apron, sent to the kitchen and forgotten". In the mid-80s, when Lisa's on-screen daughter-in-law suffered a miscarriage on the show, viewers assumed it was due to Fulton's "no grandmother" clause, and the actress was inundated with hate mail.

* ''[[Law & Order|Law and Order]]'' featured Sam Waterston as Jack McCoy. At the series' end, Waterston was 70 years old, but certainly didn't look like it.

* Diana Rigg as Mrs Bradley in ''[[The Mrs Bradley Mysteries]]''.

 

 

 

* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', Snake, due to accelerated aging, looks like he's in his 60s, and he's ''still'' a [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]. From the same game, Big Mama {{spoiler|a.k.a. EVA}} is possibly the only woman in her 80s to pull off [[Absolute Cleavage]] without setting off massive [[Squick]] alarms.

** What about {{spoiler|"The Boss", in the same vein as Big Mama. That's pretty damn good for a woman pushing past middle-age. [[Iron Man|With a child]]. [[Memetic Mutation|Delivered by C-Section]]. [[Overused Running Gag|During the Invasion]] of [[World War II|NORMANDY]].}}

* Mainly it's because of the art style in ''[[Castlevania]] Aria of Sorrow'', but Julius Belmont looks pretty damn fine for a 55 year old. Unfortunately, [[Art Shift|he looked like a damn Dwarf]] in ''Dawn''.

* [[The Elder Scrolls|Janus Hassildor]], Count of Skingrad, possibly qualifies, as he is over 200 years old. {{spoiler|Mind you, he's a vampire...}}

* [[Final Fantasy X|Auron]]. Going by appearance he looks 50. He's actually 35. {{spoiler|It also states that he died at 25, so that's ''including'' the time that he's been an unsent.}} Nonetheless, he certainly looks worn and craggy enough to qualify.

* In ''[[Resident Evil]] [[Resident Evil 5|5]]'', Albert Wesker is 48 years old (ten years older than he was in [[Resident Evil 1|the first game]]). And most people admit he's damn hot.

** [[Lampshaded]], as resident [[Casanova]] Zevran doesn't hesitate to flirt with her and comment on her "magical bosom". Wynne is not amused.

** [[The Alcoholic|Oghren]] and even (in a DLC) [[Adorkable|Alistair]] flirt with her, too.

* In ''[[Dragon Age II]]'', Flemeth drops the ragged old lady look that Morrigan and the Warden know her by and instead wears figure-clinging armor, has white horned hair and a generally cleaned-up face.

** Not to mention Leandra Hawke. She looks roughly fifty, but is still a looker and has a figure not far off from that of her daughter Bethany - who is 18 when the story starts.

** Even Snarky!Hawke thinks that Meredith looks somewhat attractive for her age.

** If you take her service history into account, you'll realise that [[Older Than They Look|she has to be around 70 years old]].

*** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Of course that in the future, where genetic fixing and splicing is the norm and medicine is so much more advanced, people would have longer lifespans and look younger!

* Completely averted in the game ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', where the evil witch Grunty is portrayed as being an ugly, old woman, but played straight {{spoiler|when you get a [[Game Over]].}}

* By [[Memetic Mutation]] only, the "old hags" of ''[[Touhou]]'': Yukari Yakumo, Yuyuko Saigyouji, Eirin Yagokoro, Kanako Yasaka, and Byakuren Hijiri. The last of whom is pretty much canonically Fetish Fuel Unleaded, favoring a bondage-tastic [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] dress and spells that emphasize her physical traits and beauty. Worth noting that all youkai in Touhou are [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|drastically]] [[Older Than They Look]] unless otherwise specified.

* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'': Twinrova's [[Fusion Dance|combined form]]. Link's [[Jaw Drop|reaction]] mirrors that of many players. Especially notable given how withered-looking Koume and Kotake are separately.

* ''[[No More Heroes]]'': Naomi, if sources connected to the games are to be believed, is actually 60 plus years old. You would never think to look at her!

* One of the routes in ''[[Hatoful Boyfriend]]'' suggests that Dr. Shuu is probably about the same age as Ryouta's parents... and in Ryouta's route, it's mentioned that old age is a factor in his mother's failing health. Of course, considering he's still a bird, Dr. Shuu might still be [[Mayfly-December Romance|chronologically younger than the heroine]].

 

* Dan's succubus grandmother, [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1000.php Cyra], and [[Eccentric Mentor|Fa'Lina]] from ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]]''. Fa'Lina is drawn well enough to convincingly look old, but [[Gag Boobs|well...]] The two of them are even more of an example than most of the examples on this page since they're both multiple ''thousands'' of years old. It's a Cubi thing.

* The version of [[Public Domain Character|Diane Adams]] (Miss Masque) that appears in ''Heroes Inc'' seems to follow this trope. The creator even did a nude pin-up drawing of her as a voting incentive.

* Though she's not a main character of ''[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/johnmann/zodiac/series.php Zodiac]'', Cancer's grandmother [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/johnmann/zodiac/series.php?view=single&ID=134515 Natalia Hain] is in very good shape for her age.

* Mama Fisi from ''Carry On'' is a [[Hot Amazon]]. Her gray wig is the only sign that she could possibly have mid-20s grandchildren.

* King Urtica in ''[[Exiern]]'' despite his white hair and beard is revealed to still have a [http://www.exiern.com/?p=1933 very well muscled and defined] chest and six pack. Not to mention his "come to bed" eyes and smile.

 

* Aaliyah Soldari from the ''Welcome to Omega'' serial novel most certainly fits the bill. Two hundred years old and still beautiful enough to make men faint.

* Headmistress Elizabeth Carson of the [[Super-Hero School]] Whateley Academy in the [[Whateley Universe]]. She's in her 70s, and looks early- to mid-30s. She'd look like a movie starlet, but she's too [[Large and In Charge|authoritative]].

* The "Mature" section of [[Literotica]] takes this [[Explicit Content|interesting places]].

 

* As ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'' follows ''[[Ultimate Marvel]]'', Aunt May [[I Was Quite a Looker|is quite the looker]]. Another contributing factor may be [[Only Six Faces]], as she looks almost exactly like Gwen with gray hair and a bun.

* Same goes for the Aunt May from the ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man (animation)|Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' animated series. The fact that she's also a [[Cool Old Lady]] helps too.

* Halinor the Ex-Guardian of Fire and Queen Kadma on the second season of ''[[WITCH (animation)|WITCH]]''. In fact, when we see the older Guardians in their original young forms, they're all very...[[Most Common Superpower|generously endowed]] and [[Hartman Hips|physically mature]] in appearance.

** For that matter, Will's mom Susan, Irma's mom and Cornelia's mom all range from beautiful to downright gorgeous. MILF-y indeed!

* With only slight signs of aging over the years, Wilma and Betty of ''[[The Flintstones]]'' became grandmothers when Pebbles gave birth to twins in ''Hollyrock-a-Bye Baby''.

* Grandma [[Unfortunate Names|Spankenheimer]] from ''[[Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer]]'' is certainly cute.

* Only implied by Flowerbell about Papa Smurf in ''[[The Smurfs]]'' episode "Papa's Wedding Day" when she's trying to win his heart.
