Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassMustache: At Gordon's suggestion, Bortus requests that Claire give him one, despite Moclans having no facial hair. She uses a follicle stimulator to have him grow one in a matter of hours. Naturally, he gets odd looks from everyone. Klyden complaints about it interfering with his enjoyment when they kiss and that food got stuck in it after they last ate. Eventually, Bortus gets rid of it and admits that it itched.

* SexyDiscretionShot: Although Claire and the human Isaac are shown to have sex, we don't actually ''see'' anything below the shoulders. Penny Johnson Jerald and Mark Jackson, who had spent the previous week dieting and working out so that their bodies would look more appealing on-camera, were a combination of annoyed and relieved, and went out for doughnuts together after shooting on the scene wrapped.

** Yaphit attempts the same thing to catch Claire on the rebound. It fails, as it's just... well, Creator/NormMacDonald in all his sleazy glory. The fact that he uses his gelatinous form to make his avatar look like it has RubberMan powers by stretching its arm all the way across the bar desk to the back wall of the bar to grab a bottle of booze from it doesn't exactly help either.

* GetOut: When Isaac suggests that Claire might be on her period as a means trying to get her to break up with him, he tells her to get out. Then, when he reveals that she figures out what she's doing and he tells her she's correct in her assessment of "You slept with me so you now you're finished with me?" she tells him "Fine, then. You just got what you wanted. We're done. Get out."
