History Main / CreepyUncle

* In Creator/MercedesLackey's ''[[Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar Brightly Burning]]'', when Lavan bitterly remarks that his mother wouldn't believe that kids from good families -- like the older kids at school -- would be bullies, Lavan's fellow student Owyn shrewdly makes a few observations, culminating with a cut-off remark about "slick uncles" that act friendly to little kids.

* ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'': In ''ComicBook/{{Daken}}: ComicBook/DarkWolverine'', Daken's psycho ex-boyfriend Marcus once attached himself to the Los Angeles criminal organization known as the Pride, to the point where [[ComicBook/{{Runaways}} Chase Stein]] knew him as "Uncle Eli". He was kicked out after the Steins caught him literally hovering over Chase's bed while the boy slept, though apparently he never actually molested Chase.

* ''Manga/LuckyStar'' has Soujiro Izumi, an admitted {{Lolicon}} who was quite happy when his niece, Yutaka moved in. He's shown to be fond of giving her (and his daughter, Konata) hugs, which Konata actually calls him out on. His other niece, Yui, evens subtly threatens him, telling him [[BigBrotherInstinct not to hug her sister anymore than he needs to]]. It's admittedly a light version, though, as it never goes further than some unwanted hugs.

* ''Film/AHauntingAtSilverFalls: Kevin spends most of the film as a normal, caring uncle, until Jordan discovers the truth. He then goes along with Anne's plot to murder her, but attempts to rape her first. There's some foreshadowing as well, when he strokes her hair at one point for a brief moment, long enough to be creepy but not long enough for Jordan to comment on it.

* Baron Harkonnen from ''Literature/{{Dune}}'' wants to molest both his nephew ''and'' his grandson. And when his memory-ghost or whatever-it-can-be-called takes control of his granddaughter's mind, SHE gets pretty squicky too. He's also pretty evil, but (per the trope) is not an EvilUncle. Weird, eh?

** Prince Daemon Targaryen, younger brother of King Viserys I, was thought of as a troublemaker in the court, and was seen as a bad influence to the king's daughter and heir apparent, Rhaenyra. A purportedly scandalous act involving them (accounts of which differ; one stated that Daemon taught Rhaenyra how to please a man, while another stated that they straight up had sex) led the furious Viserys I to banish Daemon from the court for a time. Then of course, years later, the uncle and niece married and had children, from whom the current Targaryen line is descended.

* This is [[InvokedTrope mentioned]] in a popular version of ''DerivativerWorks/LesMiserables'' which is often [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids shown in schools.]] To be more specific, Jean Valjean goes to get Cosette from the family taking care of her. Infuriated that they treat her as a servant, he demands that she be allowed to play. After they tell her to go play, the couple asks him if "Monsieur would prefer that she play on his lap."

* In one ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' comic, Spidey tells a kid worried about molestation about a kid who was molested by an older friend. He then ends with saying [[AndThatLittleGirlWasMe that that kid was]] ''[[AndThatLittleGirlWasMe him]]'' (Peter). The older friend looked suspiciously like Uncle Ben, and there is an UrbanLegend that he was originally supposed to ''be'' Uncle Ben. Yeah.

He was kicked out after the Steins caught him literally hovering over Chase's bed while the boy slept, though apparently he never actually molested Chase.
* Anton Arcane from ''Comicbook/SwampThing'' is probably one of ''the'' most horrifying examples of this trope. This dude committed such horrible actions like possessing his niece's dead husband's corpse, having a relationship with her through said husband's corpse which includes sex, and then sending her soul to hell all because she wouldn’t become his apprentice.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': As an orphaned child, Haschwalth's sole caretaker was his uncle. He first meets Bazz-B while under a lot of pressure to hunt down a rabbit before he goes home to his uncle. His uncle catches up to him and addresses him in a very eerie and uncomfortably affectionate manner which instantly kills Haschwalth's enthusiasm over making a friend. When Yhwach culls the local Quincy population, it's implied that Haschwalth is not upset by his uncle's death.

* A deleted scene from ''Film/HomeAlone'' revealed Frank to be (possibly) one of these, as he gets enjoyment out of pulling Kevin's pants down. Which would be ironic, since in the sequel he accuses Kevin of being an inversion of this, calling him a "nosy little pervert" for recording him singing in the shower.

* PlayedForDrama in ''WebVideo/DemoReel'', as Rebecca Stone had an "Uncle Frank". She's dealing with it, but anger at her parents for making her spend time with him comes out when she's under the influence.

* In the Creator/DickFrancis book ''Wild Horses'', Jackson Wells reveals that his daughter is not immune to the sinister sexual intentions of his brother (who once tried to have an orgy with Jackson's first wife).

A version of the DirtyOldMan and EvilUncle with some incest thrown in -- a character who has a rather excessive and unhealthy attachment to their niece or nephew. If the story wants to avoid explicit incest, it might be made clear that the uncle is husband to the character's biological aunt; in his mind, he might think it's "okay" since they're NotBloodRelated. Oddly, it rarely intersects with EvilUncle since most of the latter are evil and a threat to their nieces and nephews for different reasons. The female equivalent, the "Creepy Aunt", is vanishingly rare to the point where there are virtually no examples; such as there are should be listed here.

* [[Literature/HarryPotter Rodolphus Lestrange]] is portrayed as this to Draco in "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/616576 Punishment for Eardropping]]".
* Uncle Larry from ''FanFic/ForbidenFruitTheTempationOfEdwardCullen''.

* [[GenderInvertedTrope Gender-Inverted]] with [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 Aunt Cass]] in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/3102659/chapters/6721937 Say Something]]'', who molests her young nephew, Hiro.

* Defied in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' fanfic ''[[https://ficbook.net/readfic/6415890 Kitty]]''. Brynden Tully is passionately attracted to his niece Catelyn (resulting in him rejecting potential brides left and right) but never allows himself to act on it.
* In Fanfic/ASLInRed Rocinante officially adopts Law, making him legally his son. While captured by his older brother Doflamingo, poor Rocinante is horrified and disgusted to find out that his brother blatantly lusts after his son. To the point where Doffy wants to {{Unperson}} Law's boyfriend and take his place. The rest of Roci's family, his partner Kuzan and his father Sengoku are infuriated as well.

* Charlie's Uncle Jack from ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia''. That guy is waaaaaaaaaay too into having Charlie "show on the doll" where his old coach supposedly touched him. It's also been mentioned that he was always trying to wrestle with him when he was a kid. Charlie is very uncomfortable, even as an adult, with the prospect of sharing a bedroom with him (preferring to be homeless instead). It's definitely implied that the man is attracted to children (he tries to defend child pornography while on television at one point) and he ''may'' have at least tried to molest Charlie as a kid.

* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'''s [[spoiler: Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish]] qualifies; his protegée [[spoiler: Sansa Stark]], on whom he's made frequent advances, is technically his niece since he married [[spoiler: her maternal aunt, Lysa Arryn]]. Made even creepier by the fact that [[ParentalIncest he is trying to pass her off as his daughter]]... [[spoiler: while calling her by his mother's name, no less!]]

* In an ''Inside Amy Schumer'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNVJ4r0WEjA sketch]], Amy goes to a psychic and asks her to summon the spirit of her grandmother; however, the psychic only manages to summon the spirit of Amy's creepy uncle, Randy.
