Casanova Wannabe: Difference between revisions

* Brock and Ash's Oshawott from ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]''.

* Masomi Kida from ''[[Durarara!!]]''. His attempts at wooing women fail to the point where even his [[Heterosexual Life Partners|partner]] [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Mikado]] lampshades his failures. However he stops when {{spoiler|he gets back with his former girlfriend, Saki Miyajima.}}

 

 

* 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. [[Small Name, Big Ego|Most of the characters]] [[Typecasting|Will Ferrell's played recently tend to be this]].

** 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''.

* ''[[Brain Donors]]'': Roland T. Flakfizer talks a great game.

{{quote|"Please, call me what everyone else calls me: 'Your Royal Sex Machine.'"}}

** ''[[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 [[Small Name, Big Ego|Patricia Fernandez]]; and Freddy, the motorized messenger of Ecomoda, who, while better looking (and best dressed) than [[Nicol Ã]]¡s, still exudes a big "loser" aura. Freddy manages to have an on-off relationship with Aura Maria, the hot receptionist of the company, but he inadvertently and constantly ruins any progress he does with her thanks to his misguided flirting towards the models who flood the place.

* 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.

** At one point, Marshall actually calculates that, given the number of women Barney's slept with, compared to the sheer number of women he hits on, his success rate is actually only a little over 1%, despite having slept with more people than the rest of the main characters combined.

* XR from ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]''. This is funnier because his voice actor is actually named Larry.

* ''[[Daria]]'': Charles "Upchuck" [[Meaningful Name|Ruttheimer]] III is Lawndale High's resident Cananova Wannabe.

* Rover from ''[[Rover Dangerfield]]''.

* Jamie from ''[[Megas XLR]]''. A lot of episodes have him fantisizing about picking up chicks but fails miserably every time. Even Goat the junk-yard owner has better luck than him.
