** Lt. Jg. Bernard Monsha.

** Jamaicain Daninghan, also in ''[[Zeta Gundam]]''.

** Nappa of [[Dragonball Z]].

== Advertising ==

* The original [http://farm1.static.flickr.com/2/3087443_d9cc9336ad_m.jpg Brawny paper towel] logo guy.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWF-hH1nloo This] commercial for a Datsun 10th Anniversary 280XZ "Black Gold Edition" circa 1980.

* The Comedian from ''[[Watchmen]]''.

* Deadshot from ''[[Suicide Squad]]'' and ''[[Secret Six]]''.

* The new ''[[Power Girl]]'' comic features the ultimate [[Large Ham|ham]] Vartox, an out of date hero from the 70s who rules his planet through a combination of super powers, unbelievable manliness, and a porn stache of truly epic proportions. Played entirely serious in the character's first appearances, back when he was introduced to cash in on the popularity of... [[Sean Connery]] in [[Zardoz]].

 

 

== Film ==

* 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.

** Barricade's police-officer hologram. And with a blank stare to boot.

** Shared with [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Moustache_Man all the Decepticon holograms].

* Almost all the male characters in ''[[Super Troopers]]''.

* [[Borat]].

* Whenever [[Ben Stiller]] plays a villain in a movie, he has one.

* ''[[The Mechanic]]'' has Charles Bronson's, just another thing that makes it so evident that it's from [[The Seventies]].

* ''In The Cut'' has Mark Ruffalo's ridiculous 'stache.

* [[Sean Connery]] in ''[[Zardoz]]''.

* ''[[Sneakers]]''. In a 1970s flashback Martin Brice has one while he's attending college, and NSA agent Dick Gordon has one in the present.

* Both [[Pierce Brosnan]] and Greg Kinnear in ''The Matador''.

 

 

* 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 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.]]

* 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].

* Robbie Ray Stewart of ''[[Hannah Montana]]'' dons one of these to [[Paper-Thin Disguise|transform]] into his country-singer-turned-manager [[Secret Identity|persona]] of Robbie Ray.

* 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 ''[[Supernatural]]'' Gabriel dons a fake porntache on a porn DVD he gives to the Winchesters.

* [[Brendan Brady]] in [[Holly Oaks]]

* 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.

* Both Mike Stoker and Marco Lopez sported impressive models in the TV show [[Emergency]].

{{quote| '''Gibbs:''' I need you to look at something before you leave.<br />

'''Fornell:''' You've got that mustache in a box, don't you? }}

* The ''[[Top Gear]]'' presenters all sport these during ''The Interceptors'' segment, a parody of [[The Seventies|1970s]] detective series in general.

 

 

* Har Mar Superstar has a very thin one, but it's clearly a porn 'stache.

* [[Frank Zappa]].

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbYtqAWDF2U Gunther]. "Ooooh, you touch my tralala.../Ooooh, my dingdingdong..."

* Referenced in "Mustache" by the country music band Heartland, in which the narrator expresses his astonishment at the guy his girlfriend has dumped him for:

* The late choreographer [http://themusicsover.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/michael-peters.jpg Michael Peters], famous for playing a gang leader in [[Michael Jackson]]'s "Beat It" (on which a Brazilian comedian likened him to soccer player [http://www.projetovip.net/cerezo1.jpg Toninho Cerezo]).

* [[Rush|Neil Peart]] back in the ''2112'' days.

* [[Carlos Santana]]

* Yanni, before he shaved it off.

* <s> Solid</s> Old Snake acquires one in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 4''.

* Captain Price from the ''[[Call of Duty]]'' series ([[Identical Grandson|both of them]]).

* [[Final Fight|Mike Haggar]] has a brilliant bristly one.

* Odessa Cubbage, of ''[[Half-Life]] 2'' fame. It's a bit thin, however.

* Valant Gramarye in ''Apollo Justice: [[Ace Attorney]]'' grows one when he gets older. It's supposed to make him look more mature than his younger self, but since he spends his time hanging around his old friend's fifteen-year-old daughter, it has some, ah, [[Ephebophile|unfortunate implications]].

* Griffin from ''[[Harvest Moon]]''.

* 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 and Conquer Red Alert]]'' series, together with a goatie and [[Bald of Evil]]. Considering he's played by Udo Kier, his [[The Starscream|level of evilness]] is [http://www.wallpapersbay.com/wallpapers/command_and_conquer_red_alert_2_yuri_revenge_55_4-1152x864.jpg quite obvious].

== Webcomics ==

* Indie Pete in ''[[Diesel Sweeties]]'' [http://www.dieselsweeties.com/archive/1995 gets a job as a sex ed teacher] because he has one of these, and [http://www.dieselsweeties.com/archive/2006 loses it after he shaves] - apparently the moustache makes him look like "a man who knows his way around a set of organs".

** Dan McNinja even has a special ninja mask which covers everything but his eyes and the 'stache. It is even revealed to be an almost mystical source of authority.

** The Doc's kid side-kick, 13 year-old Gordito, a gunslinging Mexican native, had an impressive 'stache he grew through sheer will power (in a matter of seconds) after his father died.

 

== Western Animation ==

* ''[[Family Guy]]'' [[Discussed Trope|explores]] literally every stereotype associated with the Porn Stashe.

{{quote| ''He's got the kind of facial hair that says "Yeah, I've been naked on camera before, what of it?"''}}

* ''[[The Venture Brothers]]''

** Brock Samson has one of these whenever he appears in college flashbacks.

** Him and Rusty both have them for a brief spell. "What were we thinking?"

* William Murderface of ''[[Metalocalypse]]''. Mainly because he's based off of Geezer Butler, who, as stated above, had one.
