| 3 | ->''"...and every last inch of me's covered with hair!"'' |
| 4 | -->-- '''Gaston''', ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' |
| 5 | |
| 6 | In essence, it describes a man with a hairy upper body. Generally shown during a ShirtlessScene or when a guy walks around in a tank top or an opened shirt. Usually indicates rugged masculinity when shown on a hero, especially when contrasted against a clean-chested SissyVillain. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | When combined with a buff, muscular physique, it's usually to emphasize [[TestosteronePoisoning manliness]] or Badassery. Alternatively, it may mark a mature man (ie 25-30 and older) in contrast to a cast of younger men. ManlyFacialHair optional, but goes very well with it. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | When combined with an overweight body, it is generally to mean a boorish and/or unhygienic character. If used on StoutStrength, it usually indicates a BoisterousBruiser. Often accompanied by copious amounts of back hair. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | No matter the type, in fiction, a Carpet of Virility almost always goes hand in hand with a very sexual, if not utterly lecherous, personality, be the bearer [[HandsomeLech attractive]] or [[CasanovaWannabe not]]. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Hairy chests can be seen as fanservice, especially in TheSeventies, when it was quite common for men to show off their chest hair with [[NavelDeepNeckline open shirts and plunging necklines]]. As such it's considered part of SeventiesHair. The gay "[[TheBear bear]]" community also finds hairy, hyper-masculine men to be extremely desirable. It is also common in the BaraGenre. On a woman, this is almost universally considered to be prime-grade {{Squick}} material, sometimes comically associated with a BrawnHilda. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Sister trope to ManlyFacialHair, which is when facial hair indicates masculinity and toughness. See also ShirtlessScene, WalkingShirtlessScene, ManlyMan, and TestosteronePoisoning. |

| 21 | |
| 22 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 23 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Kyoraku Shunsui and Isshin Kurosaki, being buff, muscular, MANLY, badasses with pervert sides. Shunsui's chest hair even gets hilariously mentioned when he faces [[spoiler: Lille Barro]] and Nanao threatens to shave it off his corpse if he dies, which makes Shunsui complain about his "carpet" being very important to him. |
| 24 | * Lord Genome from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' has a ''spiral-shaped'' carpet. |
| 25 | * Freddie from ''Manga/CromartieHighSchool'', partly because he might or might not be Music/FreddieMercury. |
| 26 | * Blackbeard in ''Manga/OnePiece'' is pretty much the epitome of Type 2. |
| 27 | * France in ''[[Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers Hetalia]]'' is the only character with body hair when naked, to emphasize his lecherous tendencies. |
| 28 | ** As such, his doppelganger from an AlternateUniverse (Parallel!France 23) has no body hair. |
| 29 | ** Turkey too, and in fanon, Australia. |
| 30 | * In an episode of the ''Literature/DirtyPair'' TV Series, Yuri and Kei spend an episode debating whether their male co-agent has chest hair or not, and how 'disgusting' chest hair is. At the end of the episode, he reveals [[spoiler:he has no chest hair]]. |
| 31 | %%* Ogami Itto from ''Manga/LoneWolfAndCub'' sports a '''''VERY''''' whenever he goes without a shirt. |
| 32 | * Mr. Satan of ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. |
| 33 | * The Village Elder in ''Anime/HareGuu'' has a literal ''afro'' sticking from his chest! |
| 34 | * Ejima in ''Manga/OokuTheInnerChambers''. Unfortunately, he lives in an era that favors {{Bishonen}}, and his hirsuteness literally caused his betrothed to call off the engagement, giving him a complex. |
| 35 | * Ryotsu from ''Manga/{{Kochikame}}'' is one of the few male characters drawn with body hair. |
| 36 | [[/folder]] |
| 37 | |
| 38 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 39 | %%* ''ComicBook/AtariForce'' Blackjak of the second series. |
| 40 | * ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': The Neal Adams Batman of the 1970s gained the sobriquet of "Hairy-Chested Love God" for strictly adhering of this trope in his depiction. ''ComicBook/BatmanOdyssey'' makes up for the time since the seventies run by having a naked, very hairy Bruce Wayne start every issue. |
| 41 | %%* ''ComicBook/FlexMentallo'': Flex Mentallo, anyone? |
| 42 | * ''ComicBook/{{Hawkman}}'': Hawkman has traditionally been depicted as having a very hairy chest. Since his most common costume is just a harness that goes across his chest and a pair of pants, it's often on display. |
| 43 | * ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'': The Hulk was occasionally shown to have chest/body hair, DependingOnTheArtist. Damn brave, whoever waxed him. |
| 44 | %%* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules'': Hercules is a hairy guy. |
| 45 | * ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'': Dredd has been shown to have plenty of hair on his chest. Possibly it's a remnant of the time he was a werewolf, given that he's completely hairless in early stories. |
| 46 | * ''ComicBook/{{Loki}}'': Loki [[spoiler:God(dess) of Stories]] has one in their male form much to their pleasure. |
| 47 | %%* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': The Absorbing Man. |
| 48 | * ''ComicBook/SavageDragon'': The titular character... and Barbaric, Mace, the Devil, Hellrazor, and various other male characters drawn by Erik Larsen. |
| 49 | %%* ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'': Ibac is usually depicted like this. |
| 50 | * ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': |
| 51 | ** Superman, during the John Byrne/Dan Jurgens era, although sometimes he gets a Kryptonian wax job. |
| 52 | ** Vartox has one, easily seen because he wears an open vest with no shirt. |
| 53 | * ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'': Beast Boy AKA Changeling in ''ComicBook/NewTeenTitans'' when George Perez drew him. |
| 54 | * ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'': |
| 55 | ** Wolverine is a hairy son of a... gun, so his chest hair is more like just one part of his general fuzzy covering. That is when artists don't decide to give him a full-body wax. This has become alarmingly more common since the films, despite Hugh Jackman being fairly hairy himself. |
| 56 | ** His nemesis Sabretooth is similarly covered in hair as well. Since his fighting style is very up-close and personal, he often receives ClothingDamage to show it off. |
| 57 | * ''ComicBook/XMen'': Even before he was covered in blue fur, Beast was usually depicted as being covered from chest to ankles in body hair in his human form. |
| 58 | [[/folder]] |
| 59 | |
| 60 | [[folder:Fanfiction]] |
| 61 | %%* Papa Smurf gets a man rug in [[HulkingOut Hulked Out]] mode due to "pheromone cologne" in the ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'' story "Papa's Big Crush". It vanishes when he reverts to his normal appearance. In "Polaris' Fantasy", it is implied that Polaris Psyche himself develops this all over himself, which he finds quite embarrassing. |
| 62 | * In ''Fanfic/BlindMansBluff", [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Nick]] has a Type One version of this. Ellis seems to like it. |
| 63 | * In ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'', Ash is revealed to have a healthy crop of body hair. Misty thinks he should shave it, while Iris finds it attractive and thinks he should grow it more. |
| 64 | * ''Fanfic/SkyholdAcademyYearbook'' continues the ''Franchise/DragonAge'' tradition of having fun with Varric's chest hair. |
| 65 | [[/folder]] |
| 66 | |
| 67 | [[folder:Film -- Animated]] |
| 68 | * Gaston's VillainSong in ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' has the line "And every last inch of me's covered with hair!" sung as he rips open his shirt. In the theatrical release, it was subverted in that there wasn't ''much ''there. (Chest hair is remarkably difficult to animate unless you stylize it into a solid mat like [[Franchise/StreetFighter Zangief's]], which wouldn't have worked here.) |
| 69 | ** There were most likely unforeseen (by Disney) circumstances with Gaston's brag. Get the BrainBleach out after you really think about it - Gaston just said ''[[{{Squick}} every last inch]]'' of him is covered with hair. ...EW. |
| 70 | ** Made more ironic by the fact that the Beast is distinctly more hairy than Gaston, thus making him more manly by Gaston's own standards. |
| 71 | * ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3'' [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerates]] this with Kai, who manages to be a type 2 example ''despite most of the cast being covered in feathers or fur'' - his fur is noticeably unkempt and sticks out compared to the rest of the cast, which emphasizes both his age and ferocity. |
| 72 | [[/folder]] |
| 73 | |
| 74 | [[folder:Film -- Live-Action]] |
| 75 | * ''Film/JamesBond'' films |
| 76 | ** Creator/SeanConnery; it's lampshaded in ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'' when the Japanese massage girls are giggling over Bond's hairy chest. |
| 77 | --->'''Bond:''' Japanese proverb say, 'Bird never make nest in bare tree'. |
| 78 | ** Creator/PierceBrosnan was one of the top sex symbols of TheNineties (and it even stretches back to his ''Series/RemingtonSteele'' days in TheEighties), so the producers would occasionally exploit the RuleOfSexy trope to display the actor's chest in scenes where it's completely unnecessary for the character to do so. |
| 79 | ** Creator/PeterSellers as James Bond in the 1967 ''Casino Royale.'' ([[https://moremovies.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/petersellers.jpg This photo]] isn't from the movie but will give you an idea, if you're curious.) |
| 80 | ** Used for a BaitAndSwitch in ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe''. The KGB decides to call in their best agent, and we cut to a hairy-chested Russian in bed with a beautiful woman, making him look like their counterpart to James Bond. Turns out the woman he's in bed with is actually the agent. |
| 81 | * Parodied in ''Film/AustinPowers'' as it was the Connery-era movies they were pastiching. Austin has what looks like a curly carpet glued to his chest, but women find it irresistible. |
| 82 | -->'''Ivana:''' You are hairy, ''like animal!''\ |
| 83 | '''Austin:''' Grr, baby! Very grr! |
| 84 | ** [[ViolentGlaswegian Fat Bastard]] is the same, but with much less success. |
| 85 | * Sean Connery in ''Film/{{Zardoz}}''. The women find him irresistible, and his outfit leaves little to the imagination. |
| 86 | * There's a reason Creator/CharltonHeston had {{shirtless scene}}s in quite a few of his epic pictures such as ''Film/{{The Ten Commandments|1956}}'', ''[[Film/BenHur1959 Ben-Hur]]'', ''Film/{{The War Lord|1965}}'', ''Film/{{Planet of the Apes|1968}}''... |
| 87 | * Creator/EliRoth, particularly as the [[http://13.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp60u7eFMH1qa0z8lo1_400.jpg Bear]] [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xIIZH3vQ75I/SvBYgILdnLI/AAAAAAAAA7k/LpojhOoQ498/s400/bear+jew.jpg Jew]]. |
| 88 | * Creator/BurtReynolds was a major sex symbol in the 1970s and early 1980s. He often showed off his fit, hairy chest. |
| 89 | * Creator/ChuckNorris proudly displays one during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLO1YIWQuXE climactic fight]] with Creator/BruceLee in ''Film/WayOfTheDragon''. It becomes a liability for him, though, as Bruce is able to grab onto it as a combat move. |
| 90 | * In ''Film/{{Barbarella}}'', Ugo Tognazzi [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iBuNz7Kv1jk/TJfxpzLaj1I/AAAAAAAAA50/Ev4dMH_dUWQ/s1600/Mark+Hand2.jpg is only slightly less hairy than his fur coat.]] And considering that ''[[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iBuNz7Kv1jk/TJfxuAPRhJI/AAAAAAAAA58/ZM1zHizh11E/s1600/Mark+Hand+3.gif this]]'' is the fur coat... |
| 91 | * Creator/SteveCarell's character Andy in ''Film/TheFortyYearOldVirgin'' although this was derided by his friends and led to the infamous chest waxing scene. |
| 92 | %%* Creator/MichaelSheen. |
| 93 | * Almost every character in ''Film/TheNailGunMassacre'' is covered by a thick layer of fur. |
| 94 | * In ''Film/TheManWithTwoBrains'', Steve Martin's new gold-digging wife comments that she likes smooth chests just as Martin reveals his hairy chest. She quickly corrects herself. |
| 95 | * Inverted in ''Film/District9''. Wikus starts out as an ObstructiveBureaucrat PunchClockVillain who happens to have a good amount of chest hair. The KarmicTransformation that causes him to turn into an ActionSurvivor and [[TookALevelInBadass take a level in badass]] also makes him gradually lose his hair -- including his chest hair. |
| 96 | %%* Creator/ChrisEvans. |
| 97 | %%* Creator/RyanReynolds. |
| 98 | * Fangirls were ''very'' appreciative of this in the scene involving a [[NakedPeopleAreFunny completely naked]] (but for a [[SceneryCensor conveniently-placed hunk of cement]]) Creator/MarkRuffalo in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''. Why? Well -- because he's ''[[UnkemptBeauty Mark Ruffalo]]'', that's why. |
| 99 | * Superman in ''Film/ManOfSteel'' shows this off not only during his ShirtlessScene but during close-up shots, it noticeably sticks out from under his suit. |
| 100 | * In ''Film/LadyFrankenstein'', Thomas, the mentally retarded but physically perfect male specimen Tanya chooses to house the brain of her lover, has a thick mat of chest hair. |
| 101 | * Creator/SamElliott doesn't show it off so much now but in his [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/81/41/c68141f4497a48d3f2d8f191fed961b0.jpg younger days...]] (Still is from the 1976 film ''Film/{{Lifeguard}}'') |
| 102 | * Jesus as played by Bruce Marchiano in ''Film/TheVisualBibleMatthew'' is seen as having a hairy chest. |
| 103 | * ''Film/ShortcutToHappiness'': After his DealWithTheDevil makes him irresistible to women, Jabez Stone has flings with a lot of different partners, resulting in many shots of Creator/AlecBaldwin's very hairy chest. |
| 104 | * Humorously discussed in ''Film/TheFly1986''. One of the first signs of Seth's SlowTransformation is oddly coarse hairs sprouting out of healing scratches on his back. During a tryst with his lover Veronica, she feels and mentions them. Seth, who just wants to satisfy his (currently insatiable) libido, points out that "weird hair configurations" are common as a person ages, and admits that "I've been looking forward to a hairy body", feeling he's "too boyish" as is. |
| 105 | * ''Film/SlaughterHigh'': Frank has a thick mat of chest hair which is visible when he and Stella have sex. |
| 106 | [[/folder]] |

| 108 | [[folder:Jokes]] |
| 109 | * A athlete of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_in_East_Germany#Effects_on_athletes East German female gymnastics team]] goes to the team doctor. |
| 110 | --> '''Athlete:''' Doctor, I've been having doubts about these pills we've been taking, I've noticed two side effects.\ |
| 111 | '''Doctor:''' What's the first one?\ |
| 112 | '''Athlete:''' I've been growing hair on my chest.\ |
| 113 | '''Doctor:''' Anywhere else?\ |
| 114 | '''Athlete:''' Yes, on my balls, which is the other thing I wanted to talk about. |

| 117 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 118 | * ''Literature/BaileySchoolKids'': [[WolfMan Mr. Jenkins]] |
| 119 | * In ''Literature/{{Everworld}}'', Hercules apparently has two ''Film/AustinPowers'' movies' worth of chest hair. |
| 120 | * Esau in Literature/TheBible was a really outstanding example. He had a lot of hair on his body, so Rebeca disguised Jacob with goat skins and made the latter impersonate his brother in Isaac's presence since the latter was almost blind. |
| 121 | * In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' [[Franchise/StarTrekExpandedUniverse novel]] ''Imzadi'' Will Riker is attending a Betazoid wedding. As is traditional, everyone is naked. The woman next to him asks why human men are so hairy, referring to his chest. Will smiles and quips "traction." Apparently, this story gets around (telepathic culture and all that), as after Will and Deanna have sex for the first time she fools around with said chest hair and repeats the quip. Read the first exchange [[http://books.google.com/books?id=mTJ3IUvX6eIC&pg=PA103&dq=imzadi+traction&hl=en&sa=X&ei=8VWZUbCEKInIyAHsuoDIBg&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=imzadi%20traction&f=false here]] and the second exchange [[http://books.google.com/books?id=mTJ3IUvX6eIC&pg=PA103&dq=imzadi+traction&hl=en&sa=X&ei=8VWZUbCEKInIyAHsuoDIBg&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=imzadi%20traction&f=false here]]. |
| 122 | * ''Literature/TheElenium'': While patching up a sword cut he's received, Sephrenia compares Kalten to a blond rug. |
| 123 | * ''Literature/TheseWordsAreTrueAndFaithful:'' Ernie is a takes every opportunity, both in person and on social media, to let everyone know. |
| 124 | * ''{{Literature/Everworld}}'': April mentions that Heracles has two Austin Powers movies' worth of chest hair. |
| 125 | * ''Literature/QuestForFire'': The aptly named Aghoo the Hairy. There's also the Kzamms who are a whole horde of men just as hairy as him. |
| 126 | * In ''Literature/PebbleInTheSky,'' when the lost and befuddled 20th century protagonist falls into a coma, the hospital staff who care for him exclaim over his hirsute state ("Why, the man is a rug!"). In fifty thousand years mankind will have evolved to have very little body hair and anyone with it will be considered the equivalent of a Neanderthal. They apply a depilatory cream while he's unconscious to help him fit into society a little better. |

| 129 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 130 | * In ''Series/TheGoodies Rule - OK?'' the Goodies decide the only way to become famous is to FollowTheLeader of famous singers of their time, including Bill wearing "Garry Glitter's chest!" Cue Bill with a [[RuleOfFunny Welcome mat strapped to his body]]. |
| 131 | %%* Sam Beckett of ''Series/QuantumLeap''. |
| 132 | * Sam Malone of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''. Carla's ex-husband Nick is the "unattractive" version. When Carla shows Diane a naked picture of him, Diane initially thinks he's wearing mohair pajamas until Carla corrects her. |
| 133 | * Tom Selleck in ''Series/MagnumPI''. His frequent shirtlessness in the Hawaii-set show made him one of the most iconic [[TheEighties 80s]] examples. |
| 134 | %%* Frank Lapidus in ''Series/{{Lost}}'' |
| 135 | * Jim Halpert of all people in ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'' was shown to have an incredibly hairy chest. and there was much rejoicing. As did Creator/SteveCarell in an earlier episode. |
| 136 | %%* Lee Majors as Heath Barkley in ''Series/TheBigValley''. |
| 137 | %%* ''Series/TrailerParkBoys'': Randy, the [[WalkingShirtlessScene always shirtless]] assistant. |
| 138 | %%* ''Series/MythBusters'': Jamie Hyneman. |
| 139 | %%* ''Series/DirtyJobs'': Mike Rowe. |
| 140 | * Don Draper of ''Series/MadMen''. |
| 141 | * ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': Spock's one and only ShirtlessScene in "Patterns of Force" reveals a good deal of chest hair. It's made more obvious by the contrast with Kirk's smooth and hairless chest. |
| 142 | * ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': Commander Riker shows off a particularly thick man rug in the Season 1 episode "Angel One," much to the amusement of Troi and Yar. |
| 143 | * ''Series/StarTrekPicard'': Cristóbal Rios' {{Shirtless Scene}}s and the deep V-neck of his Freecloud disguise show that he has a hairy chest. |
| 144 | * In the Chilean SoapOpera ''Marron Glace: El Regreso'', SupremeChef [[EnsembleDarkhorse Pierre]] gains a rival in Ciro, who has a ''huge'' carpet of chest hair and is insanely proud of it. [[spoiler: It's a fake, though.]] |
| 145 | * ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'': |
| 146 | ** In one episode, Jerry notices his chest hair is slightly uneven and tries to fix it, inadvertently shaving his entire chest in the process before realizing what he'd done. Unfortunately, this causes his GirlOfTheWeek to think he has a naturally smooth chest, and she happens to be into that, so he has to keep shaving it. He ends up trapped on a bus with her at night as his chest hair is starting to grow back in, which he finds extremely itchy, but can't scratch without risking her finding out that he actually has chest hair. He ends up making a break from the bus and running into the woods to scratch, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything which is treated like him transforming into a werewolf]]. |
| 147 | ** George Costanza |
| 148 | ** Kramer, ''the'' KavorkaMan himself. In the above-mentioned episode where Jerry starts shaving his chest hair, Kramer warns him of the dangers of doing so. |
| 149 | --->'''Kramer:''' Don't you know what's gonna happen? Every time you shave it, it's gonna come in thicker, and fuller, and ''darker''!\ |
| 150 | '''Jerry:''' Oh, that's an old wives' tale.\ |
| 151 | '''Kramer:''' ''Is it?!'' Look at ''this!''\ |
| 152 | ''[Kramer steps out of view of the camera and presumably shows Jerry his chest. Jerry recoils violently in disgust.]''\ |
| 153 | '''Jerry:''' What--what is that?!\ |
| 154 | '''Kramer:''' ''LOOK AT IT! LOOK AT IT!'' |
| 155 | ** Elaine's boyfriend David Puddy, played by Creator/PatrickWarburton |
| 156 | * Luke Danes from ''Series/GilmoreGirls'' |
| 157 | * Doggie Kruger from ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'' sports one, which is visible whenever he puts on his suit. Yeah, this dog has white chest fur. |
| 158 | * ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. |
| 159 | ** Warren Mears, revealed when Willow opens his shirt to torture him with that bullet. |
| 160 | ** Another member of the nerd Trio, Jonathan, complains about Buffy grabbing his chest hair. |
| 161 | --->'''Buffy:''' Jonathan? [beat] You have chest hair? |
| 162 | * Brazilian actor [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ChkcZ4KYPbg/TUGZfZb0iQI/AAAAAAAADvk/nLXyOpMDeLE/s1600/tony.jpg Tony Ramos]], whose hairy body is frequently parodied by local comedians. |
| 163 | * Jayne Cobb in ''Series/{{Firefly}}''. |
| 164 | * Doug and Danny Heffernan in ''Series/TheKingOfQueens'', type II. |
| 165 | * Owen Sleater from ''Series/BoardwalkEmpire'', in shocking contrast to his baby face. |
| 166 | * Discussed on ''Series/{{Frasier}}''. During the episode "Slow Tangle in Seattle," Daphne makes fun of Frasier. "You refer to your chest hair as your 'Rug of Love'." Although, it being Daphne, she pronounces it "roog." |
| 167 | * Of all the male cast members present on ''Series/{{SCTV}}'', one, in particular, got plenty of shirtless scenes and peeks at his chest carpet: ''Creator/EugeneLevy''. See almost any appearance as Bobby Bittman or "Earl's Travel Tips," where Earl Camembert takes a trip to St. Lucia and is seen shirtless on the beach. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Hy2QYSlpQ0 Good lord, it's like a shag rug.]] |
| 168 | * Balki from ''Series/PerfectStrangers'' is an atypical example in that while he often wears shirts unbuttoned low enough to expose his chest hair (to a point where he’s made humorous remarks about it in a few episodes), he averts the usual meaning of this trope completely. Rather, he is essentially a male version of TheCutie...who just happens to have a lot of visible chest hair. |
| 169 | * Earl has this in ''Series/MyNameIsEarl''. It started out with just his nipples during JuniorHigh, and [[KidsAreCruel the other kids used to tease him]]. Even though the rest of his chest has caught up, he still feels uncomfortable taking his shirt off in public. |
| 170 | * The first time Creegan (Robson Green) displays his manly chest in the UK series ''Touching Evil'' (pulling open his shirt in the middle to show a suspect he isn't wired), all you can see is hair. |
| 171 | * Dave Starsky from ''Series/StarskyAndHutch''. |
| 172 | * Hal from ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' who Malcolm says that Lois shaves him every month since his hair gets itchy under his clothes having sensitive skin. |
| 173 | * Series/{{Galavant}} has a decently hairy chest which is seen in his many [[ShirtlessScene Shirtless Scenes]]. [[Music/KylieMinogue The Queen of the Enchanted Forest]] comments favorably on his "lush pectoral lawn" during her song "Off With His Shirt". |
| 174 | * ''Series/AFrenchVillage'': Daniel has a full chest of hair, as seen when he's lying beside Sarah once after they've had sex. |
| 175 | * Parodied in ''Series/HomeMovieThePrincessBride'' by two of the actors playing Inigo Montoya. |
| 176 | ** Sarah Cooper replicates chest hair by drawing a single curly squiggle on her upper chest with black marker. |
| 177 | ** For Creator/JavierBardem's turn as Inigo, he has what is clearly a curly black wig stuffed down his shirt standing in for chest hair. In addition to clutching a gut wound like in the original, he seems to be holding up the wig as well so it doesn't slide all the way into his shirt. |
| 178 | * ''Series/{{Friends}}'': Monica apparently once went out with a guy who was incredibly hairy. We never actually see the guy, just the girls' reaction to a photograph of him. |
| 179 | -->'''Monica:''' Here's a picture of Scotty Jared naked!\ |
| 180 | '''Rachel:''' Hey, he's wearing a sweater.\ |
| 181 | '''Monica:''' ''No''.\ |
| 182 | '''Rachel and Phoebe:''' Ewww! |
| 183 | * ''Series/StrangerThings'': In "[[Recap/StrangerThingsS4E6ChapterSixTheDive The Dive]]" Steve takes off his shirt before jumping in the lake and everyone is distracted from the looming danger by the question of when Steve got so hairy, with a couple of them being ''very'' interested. |
| 184 | * Albertano from the Mexican sitcom ''Series/MariaDeTodosLosAngeles'' sports one. Interestingly, he is a vain yet lazy {{Manchild}}. |
| 185 | * ''Series/SexLife'': Mahid, Billie's new boyfriend in Season 2, has lots of black hair on his chest. It emphasizes his manliness as he's very muscular too. |
| 186 | * Roy from ''Series/TedLasso'' is shown to have a type one, which is sometimes PlayedForLaughs. |
| 187 | -->'''Jamie:''' If you're gonna go to the shower, you should take your sweater off first, pal. |
| 188 | [[/folder]] |
| 189 | |
| 190 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 191 | * Music/{{KISS}}: Hairy chests are very much on display in their stage costumes, notably Paul Stanley with the jumpsuit split to the waist and a truly luxurious carpet. [[http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/22300000/Paul-Stanley-kiss-22397645-755-1023.jpg Oh]] [[http://quizilla.teennick.com/user_images/I/IL/ILO/ILOVEPAULSTANLEY/1259782927_9508_full.jpeg yes]]. |
| 192 | * Freddie Mercury of Music/{{Queen}} liked showing off his hairy chest during performances: think sequined jumpsuits transcending normal limits on scooped necks. |
| 193 | * Music/XJapan and [=Ra:IN=] guitarist [[Music/TomoakiIshizuka Pata]] |
| 194 | * David Lee Roth of Music/VanHalen. Chest hair and neon singlets. |
| 195 | * The one and only [[http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/Tom_Jones_in_speedo.jpg Tom Jones]], of course. |
| 196 | * Music/IronMaiden's Music/BruceDickinson. |
| 197 | * Damon Albarn of Music/{{Blur}}, which is a [[http://i55.tinypic.com/muxzih.jpg great]] [[http://i54.tinypic.com/x6bplt.jpg contrast]] to his fairly girly face. |
| 198 | * Music/MichaelBolton in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv5vMJKBAbo "Said I Loved You But I Lied."]] His shirt is open down to three buttons, showing off his chest hair while he sings from the top of a goddamned mountain and white horses run through fire on the beach below him. |
| 199 | * While [[Music/JoshGroban Josh Groban's]] record company was trying to figure out how to initially market him before the release of his first album, they did a photoshoot by a pool that was an attempt to make him appear as a BoyBand member. Apparently, he fits this trope to a T. Or, considering the [[OldShame photoshoot being discussed]], T-shirts weren't being applied. Although when the images were discovered, there were quite a few jokes along the lines of [[PizzaBoySpecialDelivery "So, ma'am, would you like me to check your oil?"]], it's pretty hard to find a fan who saw them that minds that at all. |
| 200 | * Subverted in "Younger Men" by K.T. Oslin. According to these lyrics, apparently she prefers smooth chests: |
| 201 | --> Men my age, poor old darlings, they're worried and they're hairy |
| 202 | --> Some of them drink too much, whole lot of them are married |
| 203 | --> And honey, here I am on the threshold of all that fun |
| 204 | --> I'm gonna try my best to cross with a younger one" |
| 205 | |
| 206 | --> Woah, look over here |
| 207 | --> We got a cute little ol' runner to the right |
| 208 | --> [[http://fitnationmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Crazy8-26.jpg Blue shorts, no shirt]] |
| 209 | --> Whoo! You're looking good, darling |
| 210 | --> That's right, stay in shape |
| 211 | ** When she performs [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPT3A1YZRos the live version]], K.T. [[SpokenWordInMusic says to the audience]] that she saw a [[http://shirtlessstars.blogspot.com/2011/11/jonathan-islas-fabian-rios-shirtless_30.html "cute little farmer"]] who was wearing [[http://shechive.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/shirtless-friday-162.jpg blue jeans and no shirt]]. |
| 212 | * Till Lindemann of Music/{{Rammstein}}, as shown [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0a/d4/4e/0ad44e60c67c8773b65abeee9b218cfc.png here]]. |
| 213 | * The late Vinnie Paul from Music/{{Pantera}}. |

| 215 | |
| 216 | [[folder:Professional Wrestling]] |
| 217 | * The famed Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA World Heavyweight Champion Wrestling/LouThesz was considered to be something of a hunk in his early days and was famous for his hairy forearms. Rival Dick Hutton had enough chest hair to pin a dollar on. |
| 218 | * In the 1950s, Wrestling/PamperoFirpo's gimmick was being a WildMan with WildHair, a full beard, and having a very hairy body. To drive it home, he also used a [[AnimalMotif bear hug and claw hold]]. |
| 219 | * Miguel Perez debuted in the mid-1950s as a smiling pretty boy wrestler and he indeed had a very pleasurable face. His ''body'', on the other hand, inspired some revulsion for its hair. Miguel Perez Jr. was even less pretty and even more hairy. |
| 220 | * In an industry that's always been about being as tough and manly as possible, this trope has been largely averted with professional wrestling since some time in the 1980s. Like bodybuilding (which many a wrestler have a professional background in), the presentation of muscularity is a huge deal in professional wrestling, especially in the mainstream. So, wrestlers take a cue from the sport of bodybuilding by shaving and waxing away body hair to reveal their chiseled physiques. |
| 221 | * [[Wrestling/GeorgeSteele George "The Animal" Steele]] may be wrestling's greatest example of Type 2. |
| 222 | * [[Wrestling/ScottHall Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall]] rocked a hairy chest back in the day, as he was, of course, "oozing machismo, mang" Also, Wrestling/ShawnMichaels had one in the mid-late 1990s, and Albert, who might as well be a real-life Wolverine in the hairy chest department. [[Wrestling/MattBloom Albert]] would often get chants of "Shave your back!" from the crowd. Unfortunately, this was often the ''only'' reaction he'd get. In fact, Wrestling/{{WWE}} originally considered giving him a George "The Animal" Steele Jr. gimmick because of his bald head and hairy back, but, thankfully, this did not happen. (He shaved his back several years later.) |
| 223 | * Wrestling/JoeyRyan has weaponized his excess body hair by shoving it into the eyes and mouths of his opponents. |
| 224 | * Wrestling/SamiZayn [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/toryumonjapan/images/c/c7/Sami_Zayn.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130902004050 shown here]] is notable since most of his good buddies like Wrestling/AdrianNeville and MrFanservice Wrestling/FergalDevitt have clean-shaven chests, and he's an equally talented high-flyer. |
| 225 | [[/folder]] |
| 226 | |
| 227 | [[folder:Sports]] |
| 228 | * In the [[UsefulNotes/{{tennis}} tennis world]], Roger Federer has this trope down to the T. [[http://gototennis.com/2009/05/30/french-open-shocker-roger-federer-shirtless/ Christ, that's a lot of chest hair]]. |
| 229 | [[/folder]] |
| 230 | |
| 231 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 232 | * Jacob Frye in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedSyndicate'', which is only visible when he goes FightClubbing. Some of the opponents in the fight club are also fuzzy. |
| 233 | * Hayreddin Barbarossa, holder of the Pirate asterisk from ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault'' has a very thick patch of ''seafoam-colored'' chest hair prominently displayed since he wears a BadassLongcoat, but no shirt underneath. |
| 234 | * Eustache from ''VideoGame/DeadInVinland'' is a HandsomeLech with a V-neck shirt displaying one of these a la [[VideoGame/DragonAgeII Varric]]. It goes with his long pointy beard and his long hair. Perhaps unusually for this trope, he's quite slender and rather [[TheDandy foppish]]. |
| 235 | * Varric from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'': This is frequently commented upon by the other characters; Fenris mentions that the [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame traditional dwarven beard]] seems to have fallen onto his chest. |
| 236 | * Yangus is a type 2 in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII''. Morrie, the master of the Monster Arena, has chest hair proudly displayed in his flamboyant outfit. In-universe, he's a KavorkaMan, since he has a large number of female followers who fawn over him. |
| 237 | * Although otherwise forgettable, Eric Bloodaxe in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' is a heavily muscled WalkingShirtlessScene covered in auburn chest hair. The sexual personality associated with this trope is largely absent, as he's devoted to [[ClingyJealousGirl Queen Gunnhildr]]... but historically, the real Eric and Gunnhildr had ten children. |
| 238 | * ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'': |
| 239 | ** Jecht from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', which features prominently in the Dissidia verse. |
| 240 | ** Al-Cid from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' has the 70s open-shirt type. |
| 241 | ** Nyx in '' VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'', during a {{Fanservice}} shot of him lounging around without a shirt toying with magic. |
| 242 | ** Barret in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' - chest hair was noticeably missing on his previous design. Unusually, Reno has a bare chest but with visible follicles, indicating it is shaved. |
| 243 | * Edi. E, a DirtyCop boss from ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' is wearing a police uniform, but on his cleary unbuttoned top, plenty of chest hair is very visible on his slightly exposed chest. |
| 244 | * Ghandagoza from ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' has a due to his muscular build. It is also properly shaven enough to resemble an eagle's wings. |
| 245 | %%* Generally {{Averted|Trope}} in ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire'' with the player characters, but very present on [[BoisterousBruiser The Black Whirlwind.]] |
| 246 | * In the ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheTempleInfernalCrusade'' has an executioner as first boss who is shirtless but is very strong and obviously has lots of hair on his whole torso. He is decidedly Type 2. |
| 247 | * [[DepravedBisexual Vamp]] in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' has [[MrFanservice type one]] of these, distinguishing from and adding to the subtext between him and his {{Bishonen}} opponent, Raiden. |
| 248 | * Kano from ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' has been typically portrayed as having a hairy chest with varying degrees of thickness and even hairy arms depending on the game, especially after his live-action portrayal in 1995 by the late Trevor Goddard, in contrast to most other male characters in the series who appear to have hairless or waxed chests. Since most of Kano's outfits have him shirtless or showing off his chest, it's often on display. Richard Divizio, who portrayed Kano in the original games among other characters, is quite hairy himself, as well. |
| 249 | * A mighty weird example from popular DOS-era fighting game ''VideoGame/OneMustFall2097''. No, not on any of the humans in the game (including more than a few likely suspects), but one of the ''robots''. The Thorn is the game's [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Zangief]], a [[MightyGlacier slow but powerful]] grappling specialist, and possessed of [[http://onemustfall.wikia.com/wiki/Thorn a prominent pattern on its chest shaped exactly like thick chest hair]]. |
| 250 | * Detective Inspector Grosky of the ''VideoGame/ProfessorLayton'' series has a rather large amount of chest hair protruding from his overly tight suit. |
| 251 | * ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' - As befitting a Canadian logger, Bear Hugger has one in the shape of a pine tree. |
| 252 | * Both [[http://ui12.gamespot.com/2379/shadow_2.png Shadow the Hedgehog]] and [[http://www.firstcomicsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/chara_silver.gif Silver the Hedgehog]] from the Franchise/{{Sonic|TheHedgehog}} games have a notable "chest fur". |
| 253 | * Nathaniel "Rock" Adams from the ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur'' series, and part of his customizable outfit in ''Soul Calibur IV'' allows any other man to have chest hair, as well. |
| 254 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Spiritfarer}}'', Giovanni's mane appears to also cover the front of his torso, adding to his flirtatious charm. |
| 255 | %%* ''Franchise/StarFox'': Who'd think someone like Wolf O'Donnell would get one in his ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' appearance? |
| 256 | * Zangief and Blanka in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII''. Zangief's chest hair is so iconic, that ''his Mecha costume'' has the equivalent in the form of a metal plate. And just in case you were concerned it isn't thick enough, they've also got a good growth of shin hair. |
| 257 | * ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' has Saxton Hale, CEO of Mann Co, the company producing gear used in the game. He is always depicted bare-chested and his chest hair grows in the shape of Australia. He's also the hero of ''Saxton Hale's Thrilling Tales'' as a pastiche of Steve Irwin: "You Will Believe a Shark can Cry". According to a comic about the Engineer Update, chest hair is a quality shared by all Australian men, implied to be brought about by Australium, a mineral that not only is responsible for their hyper-advanced technology but brings about literal TestosteronePoisoning (even Australian women have bushy mustaches). Hidden images in the update indicate that the Engineer's grandfather, Radigan Conagher, also developed a patch of chest hair (in the shape of Texas) and a bushy mustache in response to Australium exposure. |
| 258 | ** The Medic is also shown to have a [[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Burly_Beast Burly Beast]] cosmetic; which tears open his shirt and lab coat to reveal [[NerdsAreSexy his surprisingly muscular, hairy chest underneath it]]. |
| 259 | * ''Franchise/{{Tekken}}'': Marduk was the only male character by default to have chest hair in the games, a departure from all of the other guys, who look like they have waxed chests. Ganryu can also be customized to have chest hair, but he's a type 2. Miguel later joined the cast in 6. |
| 260 | * Azar Javed, BigBad from ''VideoGame/TheWitcher'' game, is a very muscular and powerful mage, and his he clearly has lots of hair on his very muscular chest. |
| 261 | [[/folder]] |
| 262 | |
| 263 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 264 | * Commander Badass from ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings''. He once challenged Varric from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' to a contest to determine who had the manliest chest hair. His nemesis, Canadian Guy, also has one. |
| 265 | * ''{{Webcomic/Erfworld}}'': Stanley, in his ''Music/{{KISS}}''-inspired war outfit. |
| 266 | * One webcomic (whose name is lost to the depths of time) featured a KavorkaMan who chalked up his luck with women to having chest hair that grew in the shape of the ''Superman shield.'' |
| 267 | * ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' has General Tarquin showing off his here [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0749.html here]]. (For the record, nothing happened - and boy, did he not take that gracefully...) |
| 268 | * Chuck from ''Webcomic/SmokeFurAndStone'' has a pretty impressive hairy chest. |
| 269 | * ''Webcomic/BloodyUrban'' has Murray, a werewolf with some very impressive chest hair. |
| 270 | * ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld''': |
| 271 | ** Canada: [[http://satwcomic.com/canada-the-bishie The hairiest Bishonen EVER]]. |
| 272 | ** And [[http://satwcomic.com/sports-are-not-for-sissies Turkey]], as well. |
| 273 | * From the same artist, ''[[Webcomic/{{Niels}} Niels]]'s'' Agent 300. So much that EvenTheGuysWantHim. |
| 274 | * The titular character of ''Webcomic/TheWolfAtWestonCourt'' Loup is revealed to be fairly hirsute when he dresses down for a shave. He ''is'' a LittleBitBeastly after all. |
| 275 | * Time from ''Webcomic/{{Deities}}'' is covered in hair. |
| 276 | * ''Webcomic/DevilsDust'': It's not much but you can definitely notice it through [[TheBigGuy Bones]]' tank top. |
| 277 | * Parodied in ''Webcomic/PoisonIvyGulch'' when [[https://www.poisonivygulch.com/comic/poison-ivy-gulch-1-27-2021/ a local hermit]] reveals his thick shirt isn't a shirt but body hair! |
| 278 | * In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Dex is [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2014-08-08 shown]] to have a hairy chest. |
| 279 | [[/folder]] |
| 280 | |
| 281 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 282 | * ''WebAnimation/TheBigDadWolf'': When [[TheProtagonist Holan]] is by a water cooler, trying to keep himself from turning into a werewolf, a large manly man with a chest covered in hair passes by. The man turns back to give Holan a thumbs up... because he saw hair on Holan's chest, which clues Holan in that the werewolf's coming out. |
| 283 | * Todd and Detective Winters of WebVideo/WhereTheBearsAre have hairy chests. Wood's chest is less dense, but he has much more body hair to make up for it. |
| 284 | * WebVideo/JonTron has one, which he often lets peek through his partially unbuttoned flannel shirts. |
| 285 | * Blake Belladonna's father Ghira in ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' has a notably hairy chest, even with the limited animation of RWBY's CGI. |
| 286 | * WebVideo/TuckerBudzyn on the video of his "wedding", in which Linda says that his chest hair (he's a dog) is showing. |
| 287 | -->'''Tucker:''' For da ladies |
| 288 | * WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory has James Bond and Austin Powers going head to head, with one of Austin Power's lines being, "You can't shag properly with that waxed tush! Birds flock to the musk of my chest bush!" |
| 289 | [[/folder]] |
| 290 | |
| 291 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 292 | * ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': Lampshaded and mocked in the episode ''1600 Candles''. When Steve gets his first pubic hair, he immediately begins acting more mature (at least what he thinks of as mature), and Stan and Francine are terrified of having to deal with another child going through puberty (Haley was an absolute nightmare). Francine gives him a concoction to make him stay young - accidentally turning him five - and Stan tries to reverse the process by giving him one to bypass puberty - which turns him into a very old man. The pube(s) remain a constant theme throughout, both parents realize the error of their ways and return him to normal, and Steve’s mature facade crumbles completely in the end. |
| 293 | * ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'': Carl Brutananadilewski is a solid Type 2. |
| 294 | * ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': Has the titular Bob. As a Type II, he's hairy enough that his body hair is mentioned in multiple episodes and Teddy calls him an Ewok because he's "hairy and excitable." |
| 295 | ** The Belchers' neighbor Mr. Huggins is even more hairy than Bob, to the point that you can't see his tattoo. |
| 296 | * ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': Hilariously lampshaded and subverted in ''Pain in the Ed''. Eddy glues carpet cuttings under his arms to impress the other kids with his “manliness”. This fools exactly none of them and causes Johnny and Kevin to burst out laughing. |
| 297 | * ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': Grunkle Stan. When [[CheerfulChild Mabel]] tries to shave his hairy chest in "Dipper vs. Manliness", it comes back almost immediately. Similarly, there is Manly Dan Corduroy, whose much hairier and virile enough to have 4 kids. |
| 298 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'': When the students of Endsville are set to participate in the President’s Fitness Test, Irwin buffs up both in an attempt to pass the test and impress Mandy. Yet the trope is lampshaded and subverted when Mandy - unimpressed as always - plucks a hair from Irwin’s chest, causing him to squeal in pain. |
| 299 | * ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': Bill Dauterive is the hairiest guy in the alley. |
| 300 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': The surprisingly manly-looking tennis pony in the episode "Call of the Cutie", who comes with this, sideburns, ''and'' a [[ManlyFacialHair mustache]]. Some fans have noted [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed a resemblance between him and Andre Agassi.]] |
| 301 | * ''Franchise/{{Popeye}}'': The cartoon ''Be Kind to Aminals'' has Popeye grow chest hair when he eats his spinach. |
| 302 | * ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': The Scotsman has enough daughters to form an entire army in Season 5. |
| 303 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': {{Averted|Trope}}. Brock Sampson has every other over-the-top manly stereotype going on, but they couldn't give him the Carpet of Virility because it over-complicated his animation. Jackson and Doc lament this during at least one commentary track. Occasionally in early episodes, you can still see evidence of it around his clothes. |
| 304 | [[/folder]] |
| 305 | |
| 306 | [[folder:Real Life]] |
| 307 | * Averted with most bodybuilders, as they shave and wax away unwanted body hair in order to reveal their muscular physique. |
| 308 | * Mexican telenovela actor Eduardo Capetillo, whose incredibly hairy chest is somewhat (in)famous among telenovela fans and has been a hot topic for Spanish gossip magazines and blogs to this day since his starring role in ''Marimar''. His son, Eduardo Capetillo Jr., similarly caused a stir on social media for posting pictures of himself at the beach in all of his hairiness. |
| 309 | * Creator/CharlieCox is so associated with this that fans were disappointed to learn he shaved his chest to play Matt Murdock in ''Series/Daredevil2015''. |
| 310 | * Creator/RobinWilliams, although he didn't really fit into either type. Instead, he was pretty much a category all his own. |
| 311 | --> ''I need science to ''help'' me! '''Look at this.''' I've had people say to me, "Don't wear fur," and I have to tell them "Fuck off, lady, it's '''me!!'''" I'm a fucking Chia Pet!'' |
| 312 | * Alec Baldwin. ''[[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m--ce20UyPI/Tg0S_Gn1m5I/AAAAAAAAAKc/Vul2llgQ0Ek/s1600/whitepantsalec.jpg A lot]].'' (He's getting into Type 2 territory now, though.) |
| 313 | * Creator/MarkRuffalo is famous both for being a male UnkemptBeauty and for his chest hair. |
| 314 | * Similarly, Creator/SteveCarell sports this - that was his ''actual'' chest hair getting waxed in ''Film/TheFortyYearOldVirgin''. |
| 315 | * Creator/ChrisFarley, as anyone who's seen the ''[[Series/SaturdayNightLive SNL]]'' Chippendales sketch or ''Film/BillyMadison'' can attest. |
| 316 | * Another category defier: A memorable ''Series/{{Conan}}'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA-SelKRSu4 interview]] from 2016 had him examining Creator/JeffGoldblum's wedding band. Noticing its inner inscription ''Peaches + Patches'', he asked Goldblum what it meant, and it turned out to refer to his and his wife Emilie Livingston's nicknames for each other. Goldblum's explanation for his was "I have a lovely distribution of body hair on my torso" and one particular spot is "asymmetrical" compared to the others, but she objected to his attempts to groom it to match them: "'I like you sweet Patches! I like you Patches!' I'm Patches." |
