Line 42:
* Ron Burgundy, ''[[Anchorman]]''. Along with several supporting characters. It ''is'' the '70s.
* Bollywood veteran and [[Slumdog Millionaire]] star [[Anil Kapoor]] is (in)famous for his thick moustache. That and his pompadour hair style.
* ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]''
** Barricade's police-officer hologram. And with a blank stare to boot.
** Shared with [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Moustache_Man all the Decepticon holograms].
Line 67:
** Commander Bill Adama had one during the first couple of episodes of season three.
** Edward James Olmos shaved off his trademark moustache when he took the role of "Bill Adama". He regrew it for the "New Caprica" arc, {{spoiler|to symbolize the character's complacency during this period where humanity wasn't being killed off by Cylons, but ultimately shaved it off once humanity was successfully evacuated from the planet when the Cylons took over.}}
* BJ Hunnicutt grew one for the last few seasons of ''[[MASH|M*A*S*H]]'' to stick to the Army. In the '70s it probably worked, but today it's a little hard to take the devoted family man and compassionate doctor seriously when he looks like a '70s porn star.
* Nick Stokes, briefly, on the original ''[[CSI]]''. He mercifully got rid of it.
* Wash from ''[[Firefly]]'' has one in a flashback. Zoe comments that there's "something" she doesn't like about him. Since they eventually get married and he's cleanshaven in the rest of the series, presumably the lady just doesn't like porn staches. Of course, then there's the blooper version of that scene where both Zoe and Mal are also wearing porn staches....
* DS Ray Carling in ''[[Life On Mars]]'' and [http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f282/carla_scribbles/ashestoashess01e020101.jpg especially] ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]''.
* Tom Selleck, of ''[[Magnum, P.I.]]'' fame.
* Tom Selleck also sports one when he plays Monica's boyfriend Richard on ''[[Friends]]''... it's pretty conspicuous.
** In fact, Selleck looks quite off in [[In and Out|his one role without the stache.]]
Line 81:
* [[Almighty Janitor|The Janitor]] from ''[[Scrubs]]'' had one when he was a hurdle runner, before sleeping with the President's daughter (or so he claimed).
* Inevitably, one of the male leads in ''[[Swingtown]]''.
* Kelso from ''[[That '70s Show]]'' grew one of these when he became a cop because he thought it would make him look like an authority figure. Hyde said it made him look like a porn star. Kelso was happy either way. His friends later shaved it into a Hitler mustache while he was sleeping.
* Deputy Sacks from ''[[Veronica Mars]]''. Notably, the mustache is fake and without it, he is [http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3402406400/nm1724291 quite attractive].
* ''[[The X-Files]]''. [[The Nameless]] corporate hitman in the two-parter "Tempus Fugit" & "Max" has one. Unfortunately his demise at the hands of alien abductors prevented fans from adding "[[Fan Nickname|Porn Stache Man]]" to X Files' list of nameless bad guys.
Line 88:
* Mike from ''[[All in The Family]]'' had one. Once or twice in the series he would shave it off, only for the characters to point out that he looked better with the creepy mustache than without it.
* In the ''[[Seinfeld]]'' episode "The Butter Shave", Jerry and George grew mustaches. George says he feels like "an out-of-work porn star".
* In the ''[[White Collar]]'' episode "Need to Know," it's revealed that during Neal's imprisonment, Peter had a mustache for about a month. After seeing [http://twitpic.com/277kdh a photograph], Neal comments that he was expecting something more ''[[Magnum, P.I.]]'' and less [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]].
* In ''[[Supernatural]]'' Gabriel dons a fake porntache on a porn DVD he gives to the Winchesters.
* [[Brendan Brady]] in [[Holly Oaks]]
* ''[[Jason King]]''. Just ... Jason King.
* In ''[[Drake and Josh]]'', Josh attempts to grow one of these (being a kids show, they didn't actually say that it was a "porn stache" but it was implied), but everyone hates it, including his girlfriend, who even refuses to kiss him with the mustache.
Line 159:
* Rad Spencer was a clean cut red haired [[Duke Nukem|Duke]] clone in ''[[Bionic Commando]] Rearmed'', but as of ''Rearmed 2'' has grown a rather impressive (if out of place) bright red manstache.
* Chester, Hobo Lord of Sleaze (complete with van and bag of candy) has one of these in [[Kingdom of Loathing]]. You can even [http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Chester%27s_moustache acquire it for yourself.]
* Yuri from the ''[[Command
Line 175:

* ''[[Italian Spiderman]]''. At one point, he throws it like a [[Precision-Guided Boomerang|boomerang]].
* [http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/9629/mariopeople.gif This ad] for ''Mario Kart DS'' shows three Japanese pop-rock-types sporting these and winking/grinning at the camera. You can play with people across the world via Wi-Fi, and this is represented by the various stereotyped versions of the guy with the Mario-like mustache and hat. The picture has become rather popular as an avatar icon.
* ''[[Gaia Online]]'s'' Timmy experienced [[Plot-Relevant Age-Up|"Megapuberty"]] and had the choice of either growing to adulthood immediately or remaining a child forever, and out of indecision decided to poll the fandom. Most of the fans who voted started talking about what a [[Bishounen]] Timmy would grow up to be. Instead, Timmy grew up [[Hollywood Homely]] (think [[Nicolas Cage]]'s character in ''Raising Arizona''), and has since then been accosted by police officers purely because they could not believe someone with a mustache like that was an honest citizen.
* ''[[Binder of Shame]]'s'' appropriately-named Deviant Boy is described as having an "abnormally thick moustache".
