* Stanley from ''Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire'' is this trope.
* Oscar Madison in ''Theatre/TheOddCouple'' (while Felix simultaneously averts it).

* ''Website/TheArtOfManliness'' acknowledges this is often true and seeks to teach men how to be a little more clean cut.

* [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]] and [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] are obvious examples.

* Bill from ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill.'' Hank, meanwhile, is generally pretty organized.
* [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Patrick Star]].
* ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhost'' during a depressed time between his original cartoon and ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast''.

When this trope is used, it is almost always combined with MenAreUncultured, though the opposite need not be true. A form of TheUnfairSex and PositiveDiscrimination. Often a key component of MarsAndVenusGenderContrast.

* Onslow on ''KeepingUpAppearances''. His perpetually soiled sleeveless shirt is in particular rememberable.

* Stanley from ''AStreetcarNamedDesire'' is this trope.

* Jayne Cobb from ''Series/{{Firefly}}'', who can be remarkably irritating in his superficiality about such things. He is the only one aboard who claims that the doctor is unmanly because he is a dandy. The others (including Mal and Book who would be very good judges on that score) all respect the doctor's courage even when irritated at him.

[[AC:{{Theater}}]]
* A Russian comedian, Yevgeniy Petrosian, had a sketch once where he outlined the typical man's schedule and the typical woman's schedule. The man's schedule consisted mostly of meals, TV, fishing, rest and "relaxation after rest". But it added up to more waking hours, so his conclusion was that men should have Mondays off.

* Among Israeli youth movements the song ‘Yona Pa‘amona’ was popular for years. The song describes a camp with four tents: one for boys, one for girls, one [[HormoneAddledTeenager shared]], and one for the kitchen. Naturally, the girls’ tent is perpetually clean, while the boys’ tent is perpetually filthy and full of flies. If you speak Hebrew, you can find the lyrics [[http://www.zemereshet.co.il/song.asp?id=1760 here]].

* A major point of ''DaveBarry's Complete Guide to Guys''.

* ''SpaceGhost'' during a depressed time between his original cartoon and ''SpaceGhostCoastToCoast''.

* Inverted on ''Series/TheBigBangTheory:'' Sheldon is very clean and organized, and his female neighbor Penny is the slob. Sheldon once even broke into Penny's apartment to ''clean up''. Given that Sheldon has Super OCD and Penny is a struggling actress trying to balance a full-time waitress job, [[TruthInTelevision it's actually pretty realistic]].

* Inverted on ''Series/TheBigBangTheory:'' Sheldon is very clean and organized, and his female neighbor Penny is the slob. Sheldon once even broke into Penny's apartment to ''clean up''. Given that Sheldon has Super OCD and Penny is a normal college student trying to balance a full-time job, [[TruthInTelevision it's actually pretty realistic]].

** Inverted in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdZgrIJwviE this]] ad for men's underwear; showing a woman wearing only the underwear and GodivaHair acting sterotypically male. Beer on cereal, burping and scratching. "Men don't want to look at naked men."

** Moreso in the TV series, where both characters have been utterly {{Flanderiz|ation}}ed.

* Fry and Bender from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' go out of their way to make their apartment look like a total pig sty.

* Fry and Bender from ''WesternAnimation/Futurama'' go out of their way to make their apartment look like a total pig sty.

* ''MagnumPI'' is a mild example of this, as Thomas Magnum and Higgins have a constant slobbery vs snobbery war. But this only goes so far and they are actually friends beneath the mutual snarkery.

* So much inverted in [[BridgetJones Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason]] with the underwear-folding-before-bed Mark Darcy compared to his girlfriend, BridgetJones, who has an apartment that would resemble a teenager's room. She takes it as evidence of how he's not spontaneous enough.

* So much averted with the underwear-folding-before-bed Mark Darcy compared to his girlfriend, BridgetJones, who has an apartment that would resemble a teenager's room. She takes it as evidence of how he's not spontaneous enough.

* Oscar Madison in ''TheOddCouple'' (while Felix simultaneosly averts it).

* The film ''I Love You, Man'' has fun with this. Jason Segel's character has many aspects of this trope.

* Inverted on ''Series/TheBigBangTheory:'' Sheldon is very clean and organized, and his female neighbor Penny is the slob. Sheldon once even broke into Penny's apartment to ''clean up''.
** Justified in that Sheldon has SuperOCD and Penny is just a normal college student just trying to balance a full-time job with her studies.

[[AC:RealLife]]
* There's a real Canadian Superstore supermarket with an aisle simply marked "feminine hygiene". ''All'' the soap the store carries is located there too.
** "Feminine Hygiene" usually refers to menstrual products and occasionally douches. The soap was probably there because the section was next to the other body cleaning type stuff.
