* ''Granny in Paradise'' is a small video game about such a lady, featuring various "old people" phrases as PC chatter.

* Link's Grandma in VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker. She takes care of Link and his sister, plays pranks on him and cooks Link's favorite food, a soup that doubles his strength.

%%* Wynne from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''.
* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' has Lily Bowen, a Supermutant who was mutated when she was already a grandmother.

* Franchise/SpiderMan's Aunt May and Franchise/{{Superman}}'s Ma Kent naturally.
* Many of the witches in ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'', but especially Frau Totenkinder. She's somewhat of a subversion, though, as she's one of the most powerful evil Fables (though evil doesn't mean "antagonistic" here; evil Fables have amnesty so she's pretty much the [[TokenEvilTeammate Token Evil Citizen]]). Being able to defeat Baba Yaga or a djinn goes a bit beyond NeverMessWithGranny.
* The ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse has Donald Duck's grandmother Elvira Duck (née Coot). Never heard of a Duck character by that name? She is far more well known as Grandma Duck.

* Parodied with Mouthpiece in ''VideoGame/ToontownCorporateClash''. Since she's a robot with her head modeled after an old wall telephone ([[ItKindOfLooksLikeAFace the ones that look like they have a face]]), she's portrayed as an old-timey grandmother who knits, bakes cookies, and asks why you haven't called her. Notably, she's one of the less hostile managers.

They attempt to force their way into the homes of single men and mother them in the traditional grandmotherly way, and will usually end up accidentally causing their charge's death. Luckily, they're still just as strong as normal elderly women and show no ill will to people who tell them off.

* Claudia's grandmother, Mimi, from ''Literature/TheBabySittersClub''. She is the perfect grandmother who not only understands Claudia when her parents don't, but acts as a ParentalSubstitute for Mary Anne as well, as her mother died when she was a baby. Aside from occasionally wearing a kimono for formal occasions, she also fits the hobby stereotypes-- Claudia notes at one point that she has been dying to teach someone to knit, but since Claudia and her sister aren't interested, she's ecstatic when it turns out Mary Anne is.
