== Live-Action TV ==
* The show that redefined and glorified testosterone poisoning after an endless and unbearable number of shows of women being just better at everything than men: ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]''. '''URR URR URR! [[Tim Taylor Technology|MORE POWER!]]'''
** A Double Subversion, since the uber-macho Tim is utterly incompetent seven times out of ten.
* The Australian [[Blatant Lies|reality]] show ''Double The Fist''.
* ''[[The Man Show]]''
* ''Manswers''
* ''[[Sledge Hammer!]]''

Taker of worlds! So step forth and bring thy manhood against mine own, and let us see who has the upper hand upon the measuring stick!" Talk about [[Freud Was Right]]! More information can be found [[The Powerpuff Girls/Radar|here]].
* ''[[Rick and Steve]]'' delivered a [[Nerds Are Sexy]] [[Gay Aesop]] by having poor Rick be forced to drive the "Monsterbator", a comically oversized monster truck that runs on pure testosterone instead of gasoline.
* ''[[The Fairly
* On ''[[The Red Green Show]]'', Ranger Gord, who is slender and lanky, has a cartoon segment in which he is portrayed as having an astoundingly muscular physique, so much so that when he bends an arm or even a finger, there is a metallic squeaking sound.
