* This is a reoccurring joke on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Homer is repeatedly shown to be more like one of the kids than like an actual parent. In one episode, Lisa yells at Bart for making faces at her, and when Marge asks Homer to scold him, she finds him making faces at the dog.

* Long-running comedy ''Series/LastOfTheSummerWine'' embodies this trope - the three central characters, and the cast of occasional characters around them, are all men in their sixties and seventies regressing to adolescence, fourteen year old minds in senior bodies. Freed from the need to work, the cast of retirees get into scrapes more appropriate to teenage boys. Compo is the worst, especially in his unquenchable pursuit of battleaxe Norah Batty. who, along with the women of the town, treats the men as a childish nuisance.

Jake is quite obviously a bit of a ManChild, earning him plenty of eye-rolling from Santiago... except that Santiago is pretty childish herself, except more in a "constantly running for high school valedictorian" sense, and in some ways they're as bad as each other.
* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' serial "The Time Warrior", Sarah is told by a cynical medieval scullery overseer that "men are like children, fond of noise and roaring".
* ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}'': At the end of the pilot, in a deleted scene, Henry asks Jo as they get into her police car if they can turn on the sirens. She gives him an amused/indulgent/exasperated look and asks [[TheAgeless Henry]] how old he is, but she does turn the lights and sirens on. Henry grins like a little boy.
