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 -Out]]?) from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', who displays this behavior for a while, only to have it revealed that it's all an act, and he's actually gay. After he comes out to Xander (in private) he drops the act, though he is never seen to come out publicly.
** 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.
