== 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!]]''
* Lord Flashheart, the manly swashbuckler from ''[[Blackadder]] II'' and his descendant, Squadron Commander Lord Flashheart from ''[[Blackadder]] Goes Forth''.

Line 223:
* ''The First Funky Fighter'' lets you play as an uber-manly man (ala Kenshiro!) fighting crocodiles and sharks with bare fists and ultra violence to save a feminine woman.
* The Adventure Core from [[Portal 2]]. Played for (extra) laughs because it's a small round robot.
* Bang Shishigami, from ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'', is "the man who fights for LOVE AND JUSTICE!" who [[Wrong Genre Savvy|thinks he's a shonen hero]] and thinks that everyone is either his young apprentice or a villain. One of his super moves is a literal [[Theme Music Power-Up]], where an over-the-top metal song chronicles his manliness.
* ''[[Battletoads]]''. The entire series is a monument to Testosterone Poisoning.
 
Line 299:
* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' had exactly two episodes about sexism in its entire run. One was about [[Straw Feminist|Straw Feminism]], and the other was about this trope. Once all the male super heroes of Earth have denied the Girls membership in their club (for the obvious reason why, see Edmund Spenser's theory in ''[[The Faerie Queene]]''), a ridiculously muscularly-drawn alien shapeshifting dragster appears, who introduces himself as "Breaker of men! 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 Odd ParentsOddParents]]'': Jorgen. Von. ''Strangle''. Originally, he was just a [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]], but has since been [[Flanderization|Flanderized]] (like everyone else in the show) into an insanely over-the-top caricature of manliness who feels a psychological need to perform death-defying stunts that would kill a mere mortal every second of every day. He apparently doesn't sleep.
* 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.
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'': Shows up occasionally as part of Rainier Wolfcastle's shtick.
