Line 7:
'''MANLINESS!''' Do you have what it takes to be '''manly''' in this day and age?! ''[[Dirty Harry|Well, do ya, punk?!]]''
We don't just mean plain old "macho", weaklings! You're [[Internet Tough Guy|on the Internet now]], where the truly ''manly'' men eat [[Extreme Omnivore|dinosaur bones]] and [[Masochist's Meal|razor blades]] for breakfast, brush their teeth with [[Made of Iron|angle grinders]], [[Bullet Catch|catch bullets]] with their [[Immune to Bullets|furrowed brows]], [[A Real Man Is a Killer|strangle rhinoceri]] with their mustaches, communicate exclusively with their [[Violence Is the Only Option|fists]], eat iron and shit a chain, [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|overemphasise]] their [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|heterosexuality]] (or [[Manly Gay|Manly
... and so forth.
Line 61:
* Energy drinks. Like are Venom: Death Adder, which claims to be "the cold-blooded venom of the Death Adder, delivered in a fruit punch strike," and the Monster coffee energy drinks, which are "coffee done the Monster way, straight up, with a take no prisoners attitude and the experience and know-how to back it up."
* Many extra hot sauces use this as their marketing pitch; they convey the dubious message that you need to be extremely manly to eat that stuff and come out okay. For example, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130205120805/http://extremefood.com/shop/home.php Blair's Sauces and Snacks], whose slogan is "Don't fear death, fear the consequences," has a product line named Death Sauce. Some other extreme hot sauces by various vendors have names like Demon Ichor, Pyro Diablo, Smack My Ass and Call Me Sally, Mega Death, Magma, Vicious Viper, You Can't Handle This Hot Sauce, Rectal Rocket Fuel, Ass In Space ("Ass-tronomically Hot!"), etc.

* Dashing Superguy from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU6cHCkWqy8 the American commercial] for ''[[Kirby|Kirby's Dreamland]]''
Line 82:
* ''[[Baki the Grappler]]''. Pick a male character, ''any'' male character. If you use a dirty trick to slice off his hand, he might just smile, crack a joke, and then punch you in the face ''with the bone in his stump!'' That's fairly typical, and not even going near the territory of a monster like Yujiro. If the idea of permanent crippling injury gives you pause, then you have ''no'' business being in the ring with these fighters.
* Black Star from ''[[Soul Eater]]'' definitely, for he has [http://www.mangareader.net/157-41902-13/soul-eater/chapter-68.html three] [http://www.mangareader.net/157-41902-14/soul-eater/chapter-68.html blades].

* Whitebeard from ''[[One Piece]]'': In a [[World of Badass]], he is acknowledged as the single most [[Badass]] man there is. And he's [[Cool Old Guy|pretty old]], to boot. It says something when a world-wide government that rules over one-hundred nations and has the firepower raze entire islands is utterly terrified of him. Plus, I mean, [http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz35/XxInabiUchihaxX/Other%20Img/6163_render_Whitebeard_arrives_by_G.png?t=1267568506 just look at him]! {{spoiler|Sadly, he proved [[Too Cool to Live]], but even then [[Died Standing Up|he didn't fall!]]}}

* In the early '70s the ''[[National Lampoon]]'' did a dead-on parody of mid-century men's adventure magazines called "Real Balls", at the same time taking digs at "Silent Majority" conservatism with stories of infiltrating "beatnik hootenannies", fighting lewd sex-education teachers, and combating the "Krazed Kent State Kamikaze Kids".
