* A BP gasoline commercial features three tough-looking guys in their van when "I Want It That Way" by the Music/BackstreetBoys comes on. One of them starts quietly singing along...and one cut later, all three are singing at the top of their lungs.

** Subverted by the Emperor's Children. Sadistic, evil, merciless, traitorous junkie rapists, they also wear hot pink armour and have a thing for velvet. Sounds like a villain counterpart to the Blood Angels at first, but the hot pink is actually part of the metaphor for drug withdrawal -- they constantly crave drug-like highs from abusing their senses, and garish clashing pink-on-black is one of the few things that still works.

* Half-orcs make good rangers or druids in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. One of the gods rangers and druids frequently worship is Ehlonna: Neutral Good patroness of cute fluffy animals and pretty flowers. Of course, rangers and druids can also make your face less pretty very very quickly.
** In the Third Edition of the game: Geomancers, especially those that worship the aforementioned Ehlonna, are very likely to be this trope. Parts of their body take on the appearance of animals or plants, and they can gain the abilities of certain animals or plants. Depending on the player's choices, the character can be quite cute and cuddly or else pretty and graceful. They can also throw nearly every spell in the book at you, and all their spells are always the strongest they can possibly be. While animals are generally not that useful in the game due to their low hit points and slow advancement, a human with animal abilities can be terrifying. This is widely considered to be one of the most game-breaking prestige classes, despite the fact that you have to gimp your character for five levels in order to qualify for it (multiclassing comes with hefty penalties). Mainly because Geomancer spells are typically too hard for level-appropriate monsters without character classes to dodge/resist AND they can have ridiculously high skill modifiers thanks to their animal attributes.

* In ''[[VisualNovel/AmnesiaMemories Amnesia: Later]]'', the stoic genius Kent starts to learn how to cook and bake because [[MenCantKeepHouse he doesn't know how to do basic housework]], and ends up finding a passion in it. In a literal sense of the trope, when cooking together with the heroine, he dons a pink apron.

* In the ''WebAnimation/LadyLumpsVSBoyBumps'' video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx_GT00gEsY Metro City,]] [[VideoGame/FinalFight Mike Haggar's]] clothes are burnt off in a car accident, so he makes a [[http://dhim.deviantart.com/art/Real-Men-Wear-Skirts-Of-Fire-195956882 skirt out of the fire]] like any real man would.
* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'':
** Flippy dreams about riding unicorns over flower meadows and having tea parties with pink penguins, and [[AllThereInTheManual the Collect Them All feature on one of the DVDs]] mentions he knits sweaters. He's also a war veteran who can (and, if his AxCrazy SplitPersonality is in control, will) kill you three times before you hit the floor.
** Cuddles, an impulsive and adventurous rabbit, ''literally'' wears pink. Pink bunny slippers, to be exact.
** SupermanSubstitute Splendid enjoys baking and knitting clothes.
* In the ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'' episode, Lofty, after Snowball pops one of his teammates balloons due to being pink, Eraser claims that pink is manly too which they have a short argument about.
* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': K-Seal ''is'' pink! He's also an evil, cannibalistic, FatBastard.
* Rocky from ''WebAnimation/TheGrosseryGang'' webseries. He's a tough party animal donut, but also has bright pink frosting and is a fan of singer [[Music/KatyPerry Katy Hairy]].

** The Hog Rider is a mohawk'd ScaryBlackMan armed with a [[DropTheHammer warhammer]] and riding (as the name suggests) a [[FullBoarAction boar]]. He's put into paroxysms of glee by an air raid he mistakes for a "balloon parade," and when [[GondorCallsForAid the town is under seige and needs reinforcements]], his equivalent of lighting the beacons is to call "How Pretty!" into the summer breeze, which calls a horde of hog riders to the city. He also has a squeaky voice.

* ''Fanfic/TheStoryOfApolloDaphneAndLucaAnItalianTragedy'': Alberto is HotBlooded, adventurous and works as a fisherman and a lifeguard, but also loves cooking ([[LethalChef even if he often almost set on fire Massimo's kitchen]]), is quite tender and soft-hearted and is a bit of a hopeless romantic.
