Line 44:
* "Snake Hips" from ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'' - while we never see him "in action," it's implied he's like this due to his... interesting outfit and the backstory Ed supplies for him. {{spoiler|He eventually gets lucky with a horde of girls. Unfortunately he doesn't live long enough to appreciate it.}}
* Jay from ''[[The View Askewniverse]]''
* Ron Burgundy of ''[[Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy]]''. Though he does wind up getting the girl, then losing her, then getting her again. But the news team's attempts to woo Veronica fit pretty much exactly into this Trope, complete with leisure suits. [[
** Oddly enough, this is a bit of a [[Zig-Zagging Trope]] for this movie. Only with Veronica is he a wannabe - with other women, he's aloof enough and famous enough that even his lamest lines ''work''.
* ''[[Dawn of the Dead 2004]]'' 2004: Bart the security guard. The [[Zombie Apocalypse]] is on, and all he can think about is how now he's missed the chance to have sex with a fat chick from Dairy Queen.
Line 93:
** Are you kidding? He's so far out, even his grandmother is setting him up with guys! (as he himself put it.)
** ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' also toyed with the idea in "Teacher's Pet"; one of the victims was very embarrassed when told that the mantis only attacked virgins.
* ''[[Yo Soy Betty, la Fea]]'' provides us with two: [[Nicol Ã]]¡s Mora, nerd extraordinaire and self-assumed ugly, who nonetheless still tries to hit on pretty girls and constantly woo [[
* Kirk St. Moritz (a.k.a. Eric Morris) from ''[[Dear John]]''.
* On ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' Barney flips back and forth between this and [[Casanova]], with a bit of [[Handsome Lech]] thrown in. On the one hand, he is quite handsome, dresses in legitimately stylish suits, and the notches on his bedpost are well into the triple digits. However, a lot of his pickup attempts can be pretty darn cheesy, it's clear that he's not always truthful about his sexual conquests, and, since the entire series is a story told by a potentially [[Unreliable Narrator]], separating the lies from the truth isn't so easy.
