*''Anime/{{Daimos}}'': In this series, if you have facial hair, then you would be considered an irredeemable bad guy. Olban's nice, thick beard and Miwa's pointy mustache are good example for this, whereas cleanly shaved faces signify either good guys or morally grey. There are exactly one inversion for each types in this though, Prof. Izumi also has a beard, but he's a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, whereas Georiya is cleanly shaved, but he's Olban's #1 lackey and equally evil.

* All versions of ''Franchise/TheThreeMusketeers'' manifest the trope by virtue of including UsefulNotes/CardinalRichelieu, who really did have facial hair like that, giving a lot of good character actors a perfect excuse to rock a sinister goatee. Though such beards were in vogue in that period, and often the Musketeers will have similar beards, albeit perhaps a touch bushier.

* In ''{{Webcomic/Nimona}}'', AntiVillain Ballister Blackheart has a very classic evil goatee. He was clean shaven as a young knight, and grew it after leaving the Institution, seemingly as a ThenLetMeBeEvil affectation. By the end of the comic, it’s been mostly taken over by [[BeardOfSorrow angst stubble]], and by the epilogue it’s become a more heroic looking full beard. Played with in that he was never particularly evil, but was presenting himself as such.

* Foreman Spike in ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'' is maybe more rude than evil, but he has a bushy beard to complete his boorish image; he insults the Mario Brothers like a schoolyard bully despite being a grown man.
