* ''[[ComicBook/SunnySeries Sunny Side Up]]'' has one of the residents in Gramps' residential community like this. His first statement to Sunny is not to get eaten (not mentioning the local [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile alligator, Big Al]]), and when Sunny tries to play Marco Polo in the pool, he states sharply that "Marco" died recently of a heart attack. He even complains about nearby Disney World, calling it a tourist trap.

The Tenth Doctor explicitly compares his early selves to a kid "trying to be old and grumpy and important, like you do when you're young.", as he says [[MyFutureSelfAndMe to the Fifth Doctor]] in "[[Recap/DoctorWho2007CiNSTimeCrash Time Crash]]".

* In ''Film/AntMan1'' and ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'', Hank Pym is a grumpy, irritable, egotistical and [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] old man. He loves his daughter dearly and regrets how their relationship ended up (she thinks he doesn't trust her to wear the Ant-Man suit. As Scott points out to her, the reason it's him, not her, is because he's expendable and Hank is overprotective - though [[CharacterDevelopment he grows out of that]]), a genuine love for his wife, and something of a grudging soft spot for Scott. But yeah, he's not exactly Mr Congeniality, even after his wife reappears, or even before he lost her, according to one of his old colleagues. That said, he's mellowed out considerably by ''Film/AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania'', even if he is still snarky.
