Line 331:
* ''[[Tarzan]]''. A muscular jungle guy, who fights big apes and crocodiles. 100% manly!
* [[H.P. Lovecraft|HP Lovecraft]]'s ''The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath'', or at least the character, Randolph Carter. In Dream-Quest, Carter scales mountains, rides Nigh-Gaunts, allies with the Ghouls, is the cause of several full-scale wars and goes toe-to-toe with {{spoiler|Nyarlathotep, The Crawling Chaos.}} Then in Through he Gates of the Silver Key, {{spoiler|he ascends reality, discovers he meaning of life, becomes an alien then travels millions of light-years back to Earth with nothing but his stash of space-weed to help get him through it.}}
* Many of [[William Hope Hodgson]]'s stories (including his first published novel, ''The Boats of the Glen Carrig'') feature small groups of men (typically led by a [[Badass]]) who face off against [[Eldritch
* [[Rudyard Kipling]], Robert Service, Henry Rider Haggard and several other Victorian authors.
* [[Poul Anderson]]: Wrote about vikings, Roman soldiers,[[Technic History|space merchants, space spies]], space warriors, babynapping [[The Fair Folk|elf kings]], [[Inn Between the Worlds|historical badasses]] in a cross-dimensional tavern, dark age warlords, [[The High Crusade|a medieval baron]] who conquers a space empire with longbows and on and on. He also helped found the Society for Creative Anachronism.

* ''[[Ultramarines]]: The Film''
* In ''[[The
* ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'' like rock 'n' roll, heavy metal, gangsta rap, beer, cigarettes, breaking things, fighting, guns, explosions, fire, and chicks with big boobs so they pretty much LIVE for this trope.
* ''[[Megas XLR]]''. What's more manly, a [[Cool Car]] or a [[Super Robot]]? Apparently, the answer here is ''both.''
Line 671:
* ''[[Exo Squad]]'' of all the cartoons in the 90's this is the only one which has the most gratuitous amounts of [[Beam Spam]], and explosions that can only be matched by ''[[Gundam]]''.
* [[Mulan]]: Well a little toned down considering it has a [[Disney Princess]] in it. But what the heck, what's wrong with that? And it has some realistic displays of military life as including a shot showing the tedium on the march and a war crime scene. It even has a really manly [[Training Montage]] in the mouth of a [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]].
