{{quote|''"Now with PREPOSTEROUS AMOUNTS OF TESTOSTERONE! '''[[Portmanteau|PREPOSTERONE!]]'''"''|''Powerthirst 2'' mock-commercial}}
 
'''MANLINESS!''' Do you have what it takes to be '''manly''' in this day and age?! ''[[Dirty Harry (Film)|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 Gai]]ety<ref>It's the 21st century, we [[Anything That Moves|don't actually care]] who you bang as long you do it while exhibiting your MANLINESS</ref>), juggle flying helicopters, sneeze meteors and belch tornadoes!
Line 38:
* Jack Link's Eat Like An Alpha commercials.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MySQXlpVciQ&NR=1 Have you been cheese nachos ?] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egfsghBi0zw Well then...]
* Spoof advert done by the Australian team [[The ChasersChaser's War Onon Everything|The Chaser]], hawking [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5kctaLxq18 Sandy dunny paper]. Made from two-ply sandpaper, with a strip of velcro for added traction. And Sandy with chilli oil...
{{quote| ''It's the roughest wipe in Australia!''}}
* This [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNjzHnGRugo Old Spice commercial.]
Line 70:
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'': This trope has been passed down in the ♥♥♥ Armstrong line for ''generations''. ♥♥♥ [[Pec Flex|Perhaps frighteningly so]], if you're set up on a date with an Armstrong gal.
* ''[[Seto no Hanayome]]''
** There're enough [[Art Shift]] homages to ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' as it is, but what takes the cake is when ''San'' pulls this off: sprouting a mustache and beard, eating a raw steak ("You shouldn't even mind eating this way if you are a man! A man should eat meat in the morning!"), telling the male lead and love rival to [[Stay in Thethe Kitchen]] ("You women walk three steps behind us men!"), and so forth.
** Lunar's father is... well... [[The Terminator]].
** San's father also qualifies, at least in appearance; He's a big, buff, [[Yakuza]] head, with giant scars all over his face.
Line 79:
** Might Guy and Rock Lee.
* Elfman from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' says anything awesome can only be attributed to being manly! Regardless of whether a person he's telling to be "Be a Man!" is male or female.
* Tomitake from ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]'' at times. To a milder extent, Keiichi, ''Ooishi and Irie''.
* [[Macross Frontier|Ozma]] is not an adult, '''''HE IS A MAN!'''''
* ''[[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.
Line 92:
* There is an aside in ''[[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac]]'' where two of Jhonen's characters meet two exaggerations of [[Nineties Anti-Hero]] comic characters, one of whom is an absurdly muscle-bound heap named "Schlong". His power would appear to reside entirely in his powers of teeth-gritting and flexing. In fact, when he is x-rayed, his skeleton appears as a spindly splayed doodle floating inside a mountain of meat. He needs to be supported by training wheels to keep from tipping over.
* In ''[[V for Vendetta]]'', [[Alan Moore]] decided he needed an in-universe Schwarzenneger-like incarnation of the ideals of the Party: He is Macho!!! He is Aryan!!! He is what every woman wants!!! He is STORM SAXON!!! Needless to say, V enjoys its airings utterly, as [[Stupid Jetpack Hitler|fascistic camp]] treats.
* Saxton Hale from the [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]] tie-in comics. This man parachutes into his office every day, has steak at every mealtime, and CUT HIS WAY OUT OF PRIMATE HELL! He also comes with his own MANLY sound effects (e.g. PROPERTY DAMAGE!).
 
 
== Films -- Animation ==
* ''[[Beauty and The Beast (Disney)|Beauty and Thethe Beast]]''. "No one's slick as Gaston; no one's quick as Gaston; no one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston's!" Did you say ''[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|neck?]]''... Well, he ''does'' use antlers in all of his decorating. And "every last inch of him is covered in hair." Check the eyebrow action when he says that. Ew.
* The lawn-mover that is "The TERRAFIRMINATOR" from ''[[Gnomeo and Juliet]]''. "'''''YOUR LAWN WILL BE AFRAID TO GROW! IT'S THE ULTIMATE WEAPON OF GRASS DESTRUCTION!'''''"
* The "I'll make a man out of you" song in Mulan definitely qualifies.
Line 116:
** Electrolytes is what plants crave.
* In the movie ''Freaked'', we have [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2R9ysWYNGg this commercial]
* Captain Gordon of ''[[Godzilla Final Wars (Film)|Godzilla: Final Wars]]'' is so macho, he faced down Godzilla ''personally,'' with a ''sword.''
* The theme song to ''[[Orgazmo]]'': "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiXaT_1I-vw Now You're a MAN!]"
* The film ''Ten Inch Hero'' mentions this by name, though it's used in reference not to extreme manliness, but rather disgusting male habits.
* ''[[Black Dynamite]]'' parodies the excessively masculine heroes of blaxploitation films. When introduced, Black Dynamite seems to be penetrating three women at the same time. {{spoiler|Actually [[Comically Missing the Point|six.]]}}
* The stetson-clad Colonel Kilgore from ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'' -- of the famous "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" speech -- shoots beyond manly into the realms of the impossible. He leads a helicopter assault to the tune of ''Ride of the Valkyries'' so that he can ''go surfing''.
* ''[[From Dusk Till Dawn (Film)|From Dusk Tilltill Dawn]]'': A confrontation between Harvey Keitel, Fred Williamson, the great Tom Savini, and George Clooney (!) against a room full of vampires. Featuring Danny Trejo and John Saxon. And Tom Savini sports a COCK-GUN!
* ''[[¡Three Amigos! (Film)|Three Amigos]]'' pokes fun at all the machismo, especially in the [[Bad Guy Bar]] "Where did you get that pretty little gun?" (with disastrous results for the "manly" bar patrons) and Ned's duel with the German aviator (Jefe: "You wanna die with a MAAAAN's gun, not a little CC<ref>yeah, he meant "sissy", but the accent's so strong</ref> gun like this.") In which Ned falls over trying to holster the MAAAAN's gun handed to him by Jefe. And {{spoiler|gets knocked back a couple dozen feet from the recoil when he shoots the German}}.
* ''[[Commando (Filmfilm)|Commando]]'' has a confrontation between ''[[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]'' and Bill Duke (a large imposing man) in a hotel room, which they initiate by shouting insults at each other such as "You scared? You should be, because this Green Beret's going to beat your a**" followed by "I eat Green Beret's for breakfast, and right now I'm very hungry" etc. Rae Dawn Chong (a small slim actress) exhibits great intelligence and wisdom by cowering in the corner while these two behemoths demolish not only the room they are in, but several rooms around them. The trope is invoked by her comments while this is happening:
** "Can you believe this macho bull-sh**?"
** "They feed these guys too much red meat!"
* ''[[The Expendables (Film)|The Expendables]]''. Nuff said.
 
 
Line 132:
* ''The Retrosexual Manual'' is all about this.
* ''[[Dave Barry]]'s Complete Guide to Guys''.
* ''[[The Alphabet of Manliness]]''. [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Naturally.]]
** ''[http://www.calendars.com/Satire/Year-of-Manliness-2010-Wall-Calendar/prod122463/?categoryId=cat00052 The Calendar of Manliness]''. Ditto.
* The Manly Handbook, by David Everitt and Harold Schechter.
Line 145:
* ''Manswers''
* ''[[Sledge Hammer]]''
* Lord Flashheart, the manly swashbuckler from ''[[Black AdderBlackadder]] II'' and his descendant, Squadron Commander Lord Flashheart from ''[[Black AdderBlackadder]] Goes Forth''.
{{quote| "She's got a tongue like an electric eel, and she likes the taste of a MAN'S tonsils!"}}
* The entire network of [[Spike TV]] runs on this trope.
** The show ''[[One Thousand1000 Ways to Die]]'', incidentally ran on [[Spike TV]], references the Darwin Awards origin of this trope, for example, using an electrically stimulated cow heart [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms|as a... uhm... yeah....]]
** [[Family Guy|Announcer]]: You're watching [[Spike TV]], full of stuff men like! (sounds include car driving, toilet flushing, and woman during sex) Yeah, that stuff!
* Gene Hunt from ''[[Life On Mars]]'' and ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]''. "She wants me. Poor bitch." Becomes [[Harsher in Hindsight]] if you've seen the finale: {{spoiler|Gene is really an eternal 19-year-old kid in the body of a man, whose persona -- the larger-than-life Clint Eastwood/John Wayne type, the Sheriff in an old western -- he created after being shot in the head. His "life" is a construct, because even though he's living chronologically, he won't age. As Keats [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]], it explains ''a lot'' about Gene's insecurity and misogyny around women.}}
* The [[Trope Namer]] is the ''[[Babylon Five5]]'' episode ''A Voice in the Wilderness'', in which something is discovered on the supposedly-abandoned planet below the station. After a bunch of aliens show up and give the protagonists a ten-hour give-it-to-us-or-else ultimatum, the captain of the visiting heavy cruiser Hyperion threatens them with a NINE-hour leave-the-system-or-else ultimatum.
{{quote| '''Ivanova:''' Worst case of testosterone poisoning I've ever seen.}}
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': Buffy to Angel and Riley in "The Yoko Factor":
{{quote| '''Buffy:''' Okay, stop it! That is enough. I see one more display of testosterone poisoning, and I will personally put you both in the hospital.}}
* ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'': May not have been referenced, but you can bet Aeryn was thinking this when John and Crais were arguing over who should be in control:
{{quote| '''Aeryn:''' Talyn, you've seen them both naked. Perhaps you can tell us who's got the biggest.}}
* ''[[The Soup]]'''s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrSpYo0jVuE introduction] for the "GAY SHOWS" segment.
* An episode of ''[[Scrubs]]'' had Turk acting much more aggressive than usual, such as wrestling for use of the breakroom TV. Turns out, {{spoiler|he was overcompensating over the recent loss of a testicle.}}
* ''[[The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret (TV)|The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret]]'' has Thunder Muscle, which is the same idea as Powerthirst.
* Sketch character Johnny [[Xtremely Kool Letterz|Xtreme]] from ''X-Play''. "TO THE MAX!!!"
** "IT'LL PUNCH YOUR BALLS OFF!!!!!"
* A calender by Mulder's desk in [[The X -Files]] seems to invoke this. Consisting of women in swimsuits posing with giant tools.
* Ron Swanson of [[Parks and Recreation]].
* [[Conan O 'Brien]]: In episodes of Noches De Pasion Con Senor O'Brien, Conando defeats all his enemies with [[Destination Defenestration|a defenestrating throw]].
{{quote| '''Conando:''' Si! Conando!}}
 
Line 205:
 
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]''. Out of the four women in the game, two are [[I Call It Vera|guns]], one is a sadistic voice-in-the-sky, and one only appears in supplementary canon. Particularly full of preposterone:
** The Soldier. Proof? [http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2663 Here], [http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2562 here], and [http://teamfortress.com/soldier.htm here.]
** SAXTON HALE (in the trope's picture), whose company's motto is "We sell products and get in fights". He bears a suspicious resemblance to a poorly shaven bear, skydives through his office window for his morning commute, has a patch of chest hair in the shape of Australia, and claims that the breakfast steak is the most important steak of the day. See the [http://www.teamfortress.com/war/saxtonhale/ comic] for more manly info.
Line 211:
** The whole nation of Australia now runs on this thanks to Australium. They elect their king by fighting kangaroos and they are so manly even the women have enormous mustaches. The Sniper is apparently an anomaly amongst his people.
* This constitutes a fair portion of Joachim's character in ''[[Shadow Hearts]]: Covenant''. Given that [[Ho Yay]] is another substantial portion (he ''is'' a professional wrestler), [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* ''[[Mad WorldMadWorld]]'''s [[Heroic Sociopath|announcers]] are constantly talking about manliness, when not making hilariously [[Incredibly Lame Pun|terrible puns]] about the ruthless slaughter Jack is committing.
* The [[The Ahnold|Jack Howitzer]] commercials from ''[[GTA Radio]]'' in the ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' series.
* [http://www.scribd.com/doc/11590030/King-Leoric-the-Skeleton-King This] guide to the ''[[Defense of the Ancients]]'' incarnation of [[Diablo|King Leoric, the Skeleton King]] who is the [[Badass|manliest hero in DotA that does not have testicles]].
Line 220:
* ''[http://dudebro.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Dudebro 2]'', the [[Defictionalization]] of a [[Neo GAF]] meme, is intended as a parody of video games that fall under this trope. The voice of [[Duke Nukem]] was even cast as the lead!
* ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'': You can seriously consider Jecht's portrayal to be tongue-in-cheek. Every scene seems to emphasise his incredible physique and gruff voice. He uses a giant anchor-esque sword as a weapon. ''[[Dissidia]]'' only catalysed it.
* ''[[Bulletstorm (Video Game)|Bulletstorm]]'' runs on this. The initial cast are horrifyingly detestable hyper-macho [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]]... and most of them die horribly despite it -- only the main character and the one character from the starting set who ''wasn't'' like that actually survive past the first half hour. The over-the-top macho nonsense and parodically intense violence only continue from there.
* Two Words: [[Duke Nukem]]
* ''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 (Video Game)|Portal 2]]. Played for (extra) laughs because it's a small round robot.
* Bang Shishigami, from ''[[Blaz Blue]]'', 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.
 
 
== Web Comics ==
* Manly Man, the manliest man alive. From ''[[NSFW Comix (Webcomic)|NSFW Comix]]''.
{{quote| ''In this day and age of political correctness (read: pussies), masculinity is a confusing and dangerous issue. Heterosexual men and boys of today find themselves in need of a role model who isn't a pussy, and that role model is the male chauvinist whom male chauvinist pigs wish they were: Manly Man. Manly Man once took on [[Chuck Norris]] and Maddox in a fight and won by staring at them until they turned gay and made out with each other, this distraction allowing Manly to punch them into orbit, where they still are to this day.''}}
* ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Webcomic)|The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' has a character who constantly talked in body-building clichés. And was so muscular that his sixpack could deflect bullets and he'd developed an ''organic jetpack''.
** Also, Doc himself on occasion:
{{quote| Doc, while flicking off a main street with both hands: "Oh, forget it. You know what? It is at you now. I JUST SURFED A ROBO DRACULA FROM THE MOON SO Y'ALLS CAN JUST TAKE IT!"}}
Line 245:
== Web Original ==
* [http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1922075 TOAD GETS ALL THE BITCHES!]
* [[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|Spoony]] hypes up [[Reb Brown]] like this
{{quote| [[Our Lawyers Advised This Trope|Warning: What follows is the manliest thing ever recorded on film.]] Your balls may drop off in shame at the mere knowledge that you will never in your entire life do something half as manly.}}
* Spacebattles.com's [[Let's Play]] series has featured BLAST HARDCHEESE, name taken from [[MST3KMystery Science Theater 3000]]. He has killed men simply by flexing his biceps until their heads explode.
* The website ''[http://maddox.xmission.com/ The Best Page In The Universe]'', as well as the accompanying book ''[http://www.alphabetofmanliness.com/ The Alphabet of Manliness]''.
** It also tore into a specific sub-genre of Testosterone Poisoning, [http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=xtreme_bullshit X-TREME ADVERTISING].
Line 269:
* [http://www.contratdegars.com/ Contrat d'Gars] is the Québécois epitome of the trope. You need to understand Quebec French vernacular to get half the jokes, though.
* [[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee]], in his ''Bound in Blood: Call of Juarez'' video, gives us the Ben Croshaw "Hats" Scale of Manliness, whereby a man's manliness is judged by the [[Nice Hat|size of his hat]]. Thus, to continue the example, Ray and Thomas both have large hats, so they can "eat danger and shit bullets", while Wee-um does not possess a hat at all, reducing him to eating Weetabix and shitting healthily.
** He also uses masculinity as one of the justifications for why he doesn't play [[Real Time Strategy]] games or [[JRPG|JRPGs]], stating after his review of ''[[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|The World Ends With You]]'' that he now must play an FPS or else his body will absorb his testicles.
{{quote| "Fucking hell! Did anyone just see that!? I am squirting machismo out of my ''nipples'' over here! I am a ''monster truck'' that walks like a ''man!"''}}
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzbr6fPDmkE This] ad discussing the manly Army Rangers.
* <big> [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|"I AM A MAN!!!" *PUNCH!* ]]</big>
* ''[[Hyperbole and Aa Half]]'' has [http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-make-showering-awesome-again.html Sueeve -- for MEN]:<br />The Shower Hammer!! Brutalize the dirt off! Hit yourself until the dead skin submits to you. Bleed the germs away!

{{quote| I went from being 150 pounds of flab to being 200 pounds of pure muscle.<br />
Line 283:
* [[How to Play Brawl Like A Man|BIRD]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os-7g5icyj4 MISSILES!!!]
* [http://community.livejournal.com/weepingcock/529069.html This] piece of [[Not Safe for Work]] microfiction. ''Real'' men exercise 32 hours a day and still find time to get laid!
* A Brazilian [[Twitter]], [http://twitter.com/clubedomacho Clube do Macho] ("Macho Club"). Common themes include anti-Feminism (divided into "[[Stay in Thethe Kitchen]]" and "go to bed"), complaints that everything is done by queers and saying what a true man does instead, sexist jokes and/or comments (complete with terrible flirts, such as "I got a stick, you've got a hole, let's go home and play snooker!"), and showcasing hot girls.
* [[EPICMEALTIME (Web Video)|EPICMEALTIME]] serves this along with clogged arteries.
* [[Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time]]! It's good for you.
* [[Charlie Sheen]]'s [http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/bfb12aea47/charlie-sheen-s-winning-recipes Winning Recipes].
* Get yourself one of [http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/popcikle64/aggron.jpg these] [http://neil-d-luffy.deviantart.com/art/Get-yourself-a-Garchomp-201031585 incredibly] [http://neil-d-luffy.deviantart.com/gallery/28814374#/d3bse42 manly] [[Pokémon]].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZAMl0VWAZ8 Intensive Gastony Unity]. One part [[Beauty and Thethe Beast (Disney)|Gaston]], one part [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|ponies]], three part masculinity.
* While reviewing ''[[Superman At Earths End]]'', Linkara advised viewers to settle all arguments by screaming, "I am a ''man''!" and punching the offending person in the gut in imitation of a panel from the comic. This became subject to [[Memetic Mutation]].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nITLob098W8 This student-made water commercial] is what happens when you take the [[Idiocracy|Brawndo]] commercials listed above and take them [[Up to Eleven]].
Line 295:
== Western Animation ==
* Played with (with a touch of [[This Loser Is You]]) in ''[[Kim Possible]]''. To wit: Ron discovers his bar mitzvah is unsigned, meaning he's not A Man. A special ring that turns him into a tower of muscles helps to compensate, though it's still Kim and Shego doing the [[She Fu|ass-kicking]].
* ''[[Cow and Chicken (Animation)|Cow and Chicken]]'' had it in an episode Chicken, Flem and Earl go after Sargeant Weenie Arms and follow his training. Among other things, they shave with smooth rocks and chop trees down ''with their faces''. The following day, they wake up all buffed up... only for Sergeant Weenie Arms to take them to play dolls with Cow ("Real weenie marines aren't afraid to play with sissy dolls!").
* ''[[The Ripping Friends]].''
* Sol Butcher from ''[[Sons of Butcher]]''. Especially when he goes hunting.
* ''[[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 (Animation)/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 Parents]]'': 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 (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'': Shows up occasionally as part of Rainier Wolfcastle's shtick.
* The ''[[Regular Show]]'' episode "Death Punchies".
* ''[[Wakfu (Animation)|Wakfu]]'': In the season 2 Brâkmarian Gobbowl arc, there is a magic potion which can turn nerdy guys ([[Gender Bender|and females]]) into macho men. It doesn't just gender-bend the females drinking it; it turns them into tall, hunky, hairy, overly-muscular specimen of manliness.
* In a recent episode of ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'', Gumball and Darwin {{spoiler|eat their dad's muscle-growth supplements}}, which causes them to go through puberty at school. {{spoiler|Anais also mistook the health food for cereal}}.
* Self-help guru Iron Will from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' is hilariously macho.
** Similarly, an unnamed white pegasus stallion from "Hurricane Fluttershy", who consists almost entirely of bulging muscles, and whose only line, said several times through the episode, is an enthusiastic '''YEAH!'''. Between his absurdly oversized muscles and [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|absurdly undersized wings]], he quickly earned the nickname "Roid Rage".
