Line 90:
** The Woman Watchers (played by frequent host Tom Hanks and cast member Jon Lovitz, from the mid-1980s SNL)
** The original "Two Wild And Crazy Guys!" (also played by a cast member and a frequent SNL host, only this time, it's Dan Aykroyd [the cast member] and Steve Martin [the frequent host])
* Subverted with Larry (hmm, [[Shout
** 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.
Line 105:
* Henry and Dave compete for the title in ''[[Drop the Dead Donkey]]''. Henry is closer, though, probably because he turns 60 during the series' run and Dave is supposed to be in his early to mid thirties.
* Richard Richard in ''[[Bottom]]'' is a particularly obnoxious example.
* Mr. Lucas from ''[[Are You Being Served? (TV)|Are You Being Served]]'' fits this trope. Despite being [[Informed Attractiveness|good looking]] and always claiming to be lucky with the ladies, he never seems to have much luck with them ''on'' the actual show.
* Nathan from ''[[Misfits (TV)|Misfits]]'' tries to chat up virtually every girl he meets, with very limited success. And when it does work, something usually goes spectacularly, mind-bogglingly wrong - e.g. one of his love interests is revealed to be an 82-year-old in disguise, mid-coitus. But most girls just seem disgusted with him on sight and immediately ignore or reject him. That said, he's undoubtedly only a Cananova Wannabe ''in-universe'' - among the fans he's easily the most [[Ensemble Darkhorse|popular]] and [[Mr. Fanservice|lusted-after]] character on the show, despite his obnoxious personality.
* Manny from ''[[Modern Family]]'' is a [[Kidanova]] wannabe.
