The Leisure Suit Larry was renamed Casanova Wannabe. One guy ... er ... country can\'t be both a Casanova Wannabe and a Handsome Lech. The Casanova Wannabe is repulsive, not hansome. And the Lech gets away with more.


* Parodied in ''AxisPowersHetalia'', where France is actually a [[TheLeisureSuitLarry Leisure Suit Larry]] and HandsomeLech who often gets bitchslapped for being a pervert. He still manages to [[NakedPeopleAreFunny undress and]] [[RapeAsComedy grope (and some more) the other nations]], though.

* ZigZaggedTrope with Pepe Le Pew from LooneyTunes. He's usually an AbhorrentAdmirer, but his "love interest" finds him irresistible if circumstances make it such that she thinks he's a cat or she otherwise gets over his scent problem.

* Parodied with ''{{The Fairly OddParents}}''' Wandissimo Magnifico, who is never in a scene wthout talking about how ''muy, muy macho'' he is. He also has a habit of tearing shirts to shreds by flexing his muscles. And then magicing a new shirt into existence. And then flexing that one to pieces. The lady fairies love him.

* In an early episode of ''TheSimpsons'' Marge takes up bowling lessons after Homer thoughtlessly buys her a bowling ball for her birthday (which he really bought for himself with the intention that she wouldn't want it), and is attracted to her French bowling teacher, Jacques. Jacques knows how to turn the charm on, and Marge finds herself attracted to him, culminating in a highly romantic fantasy involving ballroom dancing and elegance. Turns out Jacques actually lives in a slightly sleazy singles apartment and, after arranging a rendevous with Marge, is seen gloating about how he's finally going to get some action with her. Marge doesn't actually find this out; she decides not to cheat on Homer after all.

* Greer Barnes on Comedy Central had a great sketch involving a European accent towards an American female..."You. You there. You are very pretty." - "Thanks, are you some kind of weirdo?" - "No, I am from Europe" (takes drag on a smoke) (pause) "What color panties are you wearing?" - "Omg, you're a pervert." - "No. I need to know"... and this goes on and on until he actually gets her panties in his hand on a busy street with the phrase "Take them off.", and then asks the audience what would happen if he did it in his New York accent; "Yo, fine mama, lemme see yo' panties", then he gets arrested.

Certain nationalities are stereotypically presented as inherently "sexier" than others, to those not of that nationality. Often the [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench accent]] has a part in it.
