History Main / MagnificentMoustachesOfMexico

* Creator/GeraldoRivera has a larger-than-average moustache that's been his trademark for decades -- combined with his enormous nose, however, it makes him look more like Groucho Marx.

* When Brazilian website ''WebAnimation/MundoCanibal'' made a Mexican-styled adaptation of their most iconic animation, "Avaiana de Pau", titled "Sandalhita de Ripa", all characters wore sombreros and moustaches regardless of ''age'' or ''gender''.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': The episode "West in Pieces" takes place in an Old West alternate universe. As such, the [[GreenAndMean Gangreen]] [[TeensAreMonsters Gang]] become a gang of banditos called Gang Verde, complete with Ace and Snake growing mustaches.

Mexican actors Mario Moreno "Cantinflas" and Pedro Infante, as well as rebel warlord Emiliano Zapata, are probably the ones who [[TropeCodifier codified this trope]].

** Present throughout the movie, of course, but taken UpToEleven when ''Mexico itself'' is depicted as having one of these.

* The band members of Music/{{Genesis}} wear false Mexican moustaches in the music video for their song "Illegal Alien".

* In ''VideoGame/SunsetRiders'' only three (unmasked) characters display mustaches, [[RealMenWearPink pink-poncho-wearing]] Mexican Cormano, who pairs it with a beard, and [[DastardlyWhiplash The Smith Brothers]], who are not Mexican, and therefore have to die.

Latin American men outside the United States seem to have more 'staches than other ethnic groups (especially common between the 1920s and 1960s, when most American men were either clean-shaven or had very thin mustaches). Whether it's GoodHairEvilHair, {{Badass|Mustache}}, or just plain funny depends on the character, mustache, and viewer.

** Grandpapi Rivera, aka Puma Loco, the title character's BadassGrandpa. He's also considered quite the ladies man.
** The Moustache Mafia, which is a criminal gang with powers based around their moustaches being able to be used as CombatTentacles. They're led by Don Baffi, a BadassGrandpa in his own right who's reliance on a wheelchair does nothing to stop his moustache from kicking all kinds of butt.

* ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'': Quico's DissapearedDad, Don Federico, sported a large moustache as shown in a photo album and a following flashback.

* [[PlantPeople Cactus Gunman]] from ''Anime/GregoryHorrorShow''; he's a Mexican cowboy, and not only does he have a mustache, but it moves when he talks in place of him having an actual mouth.

* ''Film/BlazingSaddles''. The Mexican banditos signing up for Hedley Lamarr's army have mustaches.

* Lots of people in ''Film/OnceUponATimeInMexico''. Also Agent Sands wears several (flamboyantly) fake moustaches.
* In ''Film/NapoleonDynamite'', Pedro sports a mustache, in spite of still being in high school.

* Similiar to Esteban Colberto, at one point the gang on ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' run into a Latino lawyer who looks exactly like their friend Marshall -- except he has a mustache (and wears a beige suit).

* Marco Lopez on ''Series/{{Emergency}}'' beginning in season 2.

* In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', Raul, who is Mexican, has a small mustache. This becomes more impressive when you remember that he is a Ghoul, and has lost all other hair on his body, in addition to being over 200 years old.
* An infamous Mexican-themed mod for ''VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry'' gives Dante, Vergil and ''[[GirlsWithMoustaches Kat]]'' magnificent mustaches among other stereotypically Mexican features ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPKHxbOg19s and music]]).

* Gordito and family in ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja''. Significant in that Gordito is ''twelve''. He grew it out of [[SpontaneousMustache sheer willpower]] in about ''five seconds'' when the custody agent refused to let him have his late father's guns. It's called "the Mustache of Authority" and it works like the JediMindTrick, allowing him to command the weak-willed into obedience.

* Bother and Blister, the twins in ''WesternAnimation/TheCrumpets'', wear fake ones as well as Mexican accessories while doing a couple of their antics. There's an episode in which Lil-One also wears them when he assists the twins.

* ''Series/{{MASH}}''. One episode dealt with a Puerto Rican soldier who was depressed that his mustache was shaved in pre-op. He's fine with the fake mustache Hawkeye gives him to wear while he grows a new one.

Mexican actors Mario Moreno "Cantinflas" and Pedro Infante, as well as rebel warlord Emiliano Zapata are probably the ones who [[TropeCodifier codified this trope]].
