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

She enjoys baking, knitting, and [[KindheartedCatLover has a fondness for cats]]. The stories she has to share from her youth will be ''real'' wisdom.

* Granny from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' / ''MerrieMelodies''.

* Grandma Squarepants in the ''{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'' episode "Grandma's Kisses".

The grandma figure as most of us picture it. She does not try to [[GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave hide her age]] or act [[CoolOldLady hipper than she is]]. On the other hand, she is someone one can always rely on, even against one's parents, who will feed you, bring you presents on birthdays, and be a secondary parental figure.

* Aunt Samantha from ''TigerandBunny''. [[spoiler: [[SacrificialLamb And that kills her]].]]

Of course, this does not mean that you should underestimate her. Dismiss as washed-up and outdated and she will prove to you that a lifetime of experience can still beat the brashness of the young, [[ApronMatron and will not hesitate to give you a good whipping should you misbehave]]. (Whether or not she can actually put up a fight varies - she may just as well need saving as unexpectedly [[NeverMessWithGranny bring out the big guns]]).

(You do not need to be a main character's ''actual'' grandmother to fit this trope - any old person who fits this image can count.)

MrsClaus is often portrayed this way.
