* Yonemi Chiba of ''Manga/{{BECK}}'' sports an afro. A lot of people in the music industry actually refer to him as "that afro."

* In ''Comicbook/KnightAndSquire'', one of the background characters in Time in a Bottle is an ElectricBlackGuy with an absurd parody of Comicbook/BlackLightning's seventies costume and hair. His superhero identity is 'Fro.

* The final stage of becoming a /b/tard is a giant afro sprouting forth from the victim's head followed by a complete loss of emotional function.

* Jimmy T. from the ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' series sports a large blue afro. In ''VideoGame/WarioWareTouched'', his family is shown to all have brightly coloured afros. He is also menaced by an insect named Scratchy the 'Fro Bug.

* ''Film/MaxAndTheMidknightsBattleOfTheBodkins'': in one chapter, [[TheProtagonist Max]]'s Uncle Budrick realizes his hat was stolen. When Millie decides to try making him a new one with magic, her first attempt gives Sir Budrick an afro, which he seems to like. Max, however... not so much.

** [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bouffalant_(Pokémon) Bouffalant]], introduced in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' is a buffalo with an afro. Its signature move is called Afro Break in the original Japanese (Changed to Head Charge in the English games). An episode of the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} anime]] starring Bouffalant takes this to its logical conclusion: most of the main characters [[PaperThinDisguise wear afro wigs]] because otherwise [[FantasticRacism the local Bouffalant population will attack them]].

* ''Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon'', [[KillEmAll as grimdark as it is]], sports a gigling aspect in that TheHero Cosmo Yuki sports a ''big, red afro'' as his hairstyle in the show; he [[CompressedHair wears a helmet]] half of the time.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/TheHairBearBunch''.

See also ModernMinstrelsy, SoulBrotha, CurlyHairIsUgly. Common specific usages are CompressedHair, where a massive afro unexpectedly emerges from a small hat, and HammerspaceHair, where the afro is used to store something unexpected.

* Noboru Yamaguchi of ''Manga/CromartieHighSchool''. The character is obsessed with comedy, and his hair is intentionally funny; he's actually disappointed that people are too scared of his fighting skills to laugh at his ridiculous hairstyle. The anime takes this to eleven with animation gags. His afro throbs and moves on its own, even increasing in size.

Its signature move is called Afro Break in the original Japanese (Changed to Head Charge in the English games). An episode of the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} anime]] starring Bouffalant [[UpToEleven takes this to its logical conclusion]]: most of the main characters [[PaperThinDisguise wear afro wigs]] because otherwise [[FantasticRacism the local Bouffalant population will attack them]].

* One of [[MadBomber Demoman's]] [[AndYourRewardIsClothes unlockable hats]] in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' is a Music/JimiHendrix-type 'fro. Which isn't that large in-game, but fan artists enjoy taking it UpToEleven for hilarity's sake.

* Cher ends up with this style in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' after being exposed to [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain The Brain's]] shrinking formula, being told it would get her the "really, really big, big hair" she always wanted. Which it did, by shrinking the rest of her body. Her relatively RapunzelHair fluffed up into an afro two and a half times her new height after declaring "It's fantastically amazing!"

* Creator/SrPelo has a big afro in real life and exaggerates it on his AuthorAvatar for comedic effect.

%%* ''Girl And Triangle'' involved a side character called Disco who sported one of these. (Her story got increasingly surreal.)
%%* WebComic/{{Jack|JackAntonucci}} has Anakin.

** Three [=NPCs=] (two of whom are [[SharedFamilyQuirks siblings]]) in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' are rocking some positively ''epic'' 'fros almost as large as they are. One of them is a ''bird'', and one has a ''bird's nest'' in his hair.

* Chocolove [=McDonnell=] of ''Manga/ShamanKing'' is apparently invoking this. In his days as a violent gang-leader, he was [[BaldOfEvil completely bald]]. When he leaves behind his old life to become a comedian and train as a shaman, he grows his hair out into an afro. It also notably covers a scar that he received when his parents were killed, which drove him to a life of crime in the first place.
