History Main / SeniorCreep

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfFigaroPho'': One recurring character is the old lady who runs the store. She is bald, and ''very'' wrinkly and saggy. In one episode, she tries to force people to tango with her - and [[KidHero Figaro]] is one of the characters who falls victim to this.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' episode "Sonic Johnny", Johnny and Dukey travel into the future and meet Susan and Mary Test, [[IWasQuiteALooker whose good looks obviously expired a long time ago]]. They're still the good [[IncrediblyLamePun old]] twin sisters they knew, if somewhat "gross and wrinkly" as Johnny points out.

* In ''Videogame/{{Splatoon}}'', when you first reach Inkopolis and get a brief tour on it, the last part takes note of an elderly Inkling citizen (Cap'n Cuttlefish) suspiciously peeping from a manhole, prompting the game to remark: "Who's that creepy old dude?" {{Subverted|Trope}} once you go down the manhole, when you find out Cap'n Cuttlefish [[CoolOldGuy isn't just some peeping creep]] -- he's a RetiredBadass who's been keeping tabs on the [[EvilCounterpartRace Octarian]] menace.

* ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'': Yzma is an elderly lady who is described as "scary beyond all reason" and "proof that the dinosaurs existed". Most characters are repulsed by the sight of her, and we even get a few [[GrossUpCloseUp Gross-Up Close-Ups]] of her for extra NauseaFuel.

* The evil queen in ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' disguises as a hideous old woman in a [[EvilWearsBlack black robe]] to trick Snow White into eating the poisoned apple.

* Gargamel from ''Franchise/TheSmurfs'', an old evil wizard who also [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin literally creeps]] [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/da/Gargamel_and_Azrael_from_the_Smurfs.jpg in his official artwork]]. He's got a balding head, [[SinisterSchnoz a nose typical for a villain]], a saggy face and a rather sinister personality, and he has been called ugly multiple times (and "the dreaded man of the forest" in one episode of [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs the cartoon show]], by Brainy). It's also been implied he smells really bad. His mother from the cartoon show is even more befitting of this trope.

* In ''Videogame/{{Splatoon}}'', when you first reach Inkopolis and get a brief tour on it, the last part has an old Inkling citizen (Cap'n Cuttlefish) suspiciously peeping and coming out of a manhole, prompting the game to remark: "Who's that creepy old dude?" {{Subverted|Trope}} once you go down the manhole, when you find out Cap'n Cuttlefish [[CoolOldGuy isn't just some peeping creep]] and really just wanted someone to fight the Octarians and save the Great Zapfish.

* The evil queen's disguise in ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''; she disguises as an old woman to get Snow White to eat the poisoned apple, who really looks more like a hideous old hag [[EvilWearsBlack in a black robe]].

See also WickedWitch (for evil witches, [[CaptainObvious obviously]]) and {{Gonk}} (for the general, over-the-top stylistically ugly characters).

* The title character of ''Film/NannyMcPhee''. She's an old MaryPoppins-[[{{Expy}} esque]] woman with warts on her face, a thick nose, a face of a strict teacher and a tooth that sticks out of her mouth who disciplines children [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment in rather unusual ways]] using magic (with good intentions). [[spoiler:She ''does'' become beautiful after children learn their lessons and become well-behaved, [[AvertedTrope averting the trope at the end of the movie.]]]]

[[IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] a senior creeping.

* ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'': Merchant Hag Melentia is an elderly, partially [[TheUndead hollowfied]] merchant who wears tattered rags, [[EvilLaugh cackles wicked]], and inflicts the Curse status effect on you if made hostile. Her merchandise is implied to be [[RobbingTheDead scavenged from the dead]], includes the armor of every boss and NPC you kill.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfFigaroPho'': One recurring character is the old lady who runs the store. She is bald, and ''very'' wrinkly and saggy. In one episode, she tries to force people to tango with her - and [[KidHero Figaro]] is one of the characters who falls victim to this. This doesn't seem so bad until you realize the UnfortunateImplications that come from her acting this way towards a child.

...And then there's these guys. \\\
When it comes down to a Senior Creep, his or her defining trait is usually being a not-so-beautiful old person with an unsettling or unfriendly demeanor that would make other characters loathe them (whether or not they react that way or at all). The first thing that may come to mind concerning physical looks is bad dental hygiene; he or she will most likely have [[ScaryTeeth nasty, rotten teeth]] (or maybe [[FalseTeethTomfoolery false teeth]] or no teeth at all) as a result of taking poor care of them. They may also have a wrinkly skin, a big nose, a balding head, scars and/or other physical traits that make a person unpleasant to look at, though not all of them are necessarily hideous or even remotely ugly.[softreturn]
Their behavior usually isn't any better than their looks, either. Said behavior may exhibit hostility, insanity, [[LonersAreFreaks suspicious solitude]], a creepy voice tone and enjoyment of morally questionable acts (like stalking someone else, whether [[StalkerWithACrush they love them]] [[StalkerWithoutACrush or not]]) among other things. They might as well be ObviouslyEvil as a way of [[EvilMakesYouUgly reflecting their ugly looks]], though at times chances are they're neutral or good instead. Feebleness may or may not be present. [softreturn]

If the given circumstances are right, a Senior Creep may also be a resident of the UncannyValley and a source of NightmareFuel and NauseaFuel. \\\

* In the live-action Franchise/{{Asterix}} film ''Asterix and Obelix Take On Caesar'', the heroes find Getafix's grandfather for the recipe of a secret potion. He's an incredibly wrinkly old man with a scraggly beard and a body all covered in dirt and bugs.
* The titular character of ''Film/NannyMcPhee''.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': In the episode "Chocolate with Nuts", Spongebob and Patrick try to sell their chocolate bars to an old lady fish. They don't seem to mind her, but then she calls in her mother, who is [[BodyHorror so old and shriveled that she resembles a worm more than a fish]]. Spongebob and Patrick are visibly disgusted.

He's got a balding head, [[SinisterSchnoz a nose typical for a villain]], a saggy face and a rather sinister personality, and he has been called ugly multiple times (and "the dreaded man of the forest" in one episode, by Brainy). It's also been implied he smells really bad. Alternately, he could just be looking older than his actual age, placing him at early middle age at the very least. His mother in [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs the cartoon show]] is more befitting of this trope.

She's not very pretty-looking and appears to be making Hector's life boring ([[spoiler:but in reality she's making his life calm so he doesn't trash the town]]), which Gumball and Darwin call her out on. In "The Castle", we also get this exchange:
-->'''Mrs. J.:''' Ah, finally a place where I am not pressured by society to be beautiful.
-->'''Hot Dog Guy:''' [drinking] You don't look that different.
-->'''Mrs. J.:''' I haven't taken off my makeup yet.
-->[Mrs. J. wipes her makeup off and reveals an even uglier face, prompting Hot Dog Guy to spit his drink back into his cup]

There's many kinds of old people out there. We've got the [[CoolOldGuy chill and nice ones]], the [[GrumpyOldMan grumpy ones]], the [[DirtyOldMan perverts]], the [[EvilOldFolks villains]], the [[CoolOldLady female]] [[DirtyOldWoman counterparts]] of some of them...[softreturn][softreturn]

Bonus points if other characters [[LampshadeHanging comment on their behavior and/or looks]] (usually negatively).[softreturn][softreturn]
