History Main / MustacheVandalism

** When Springfield Elementary is snowed in and the kids take over, Milhouse draws mustaches on a bunch of portraits of former presidents, but is clueless about what to do when he reaches [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/William_Howard_Taft_1909.jpg Howard Taft]].

* The dance scene in ''Film/{{Flubber}}'' has two chunks of Flubber fall into an inkpot, then race around the room, giving the Mona Lisa facial hair in the process.

* In the 1980s, WNBC radio had a commercial where a poster of their top two personalities (Don Imus and Howard Stern) is defaced by people passing by, including old women and nuns.

** Garfield [[http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/1994/ga940428.gif does this to a picture of Jon]], and when Jon demands Garfield to fix it, Garfield draws a mustache on Jon's face as well.

* In ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', Hobbes likes to do this to Calvin's comic books:

* In ''VideoGame/PunchOut Wii'', Aran Ryan's introduction video has him doodling a moustache onto a poster of Little Mac.

* In ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos'', a woman's expensive portrait was vandalized this way.

* In one of the ''[[Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia Chibitalia]]'' stories, Chibitaly does this to a portrait of young Austria. In a variation of this trope, the act was not intended to be malicious. Chibitaly simply wanted to paint something, but only had a paintbrush and a pot of ink. Austria himself is not pleased and, in the dub, even comments "That's just mean!"

** In "The Lonesome Mouse", Jerry draws a Hitler mustache on a picture of Tom before spitting at it.

** In another strip, Garfield proudly proclaims "I just finished drawing a mustache on every picture of Jon in the house!" The next panel sees Jon stick his mustachioed head in:

'''Garfield''': "Spoilsport!"

* In ''Literature/{{Maskerade}}'', Nanny Ogg kills some time by drawing moustaches on the Instructive Diagrams in one of Verence's books. It's hinted that Verence thereafter interprets the diagrams as requiring him to wear a false moustache while following the instructions.

* In ''Discworld/{{Maskerade}}'', Nanny Ogg kills some time by drawing moustaches on the Instructive Diagrams in one of Verence's books. It's hinted that Verence thereafter interprets the diagrams as requiring him to wear a false moustache while following the instructions.

** cartoon "Daffy Doodles" has WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck as the vandalizing "Mustache Fiend" and Porky Pig as a policeman trying to catch him. When Daffy finally gets arrested at the end of the cartoon (but let off by a jury of mustached Jerry Colonna look-alikes), Daffy tearfully repents and promises he'll never draw another mustache... "I'm doin' beards now!"

* ''Animation/{{Lamput}}'': In the episode "The Fight", Fat Doc and Slim Doc [[FeudEpisode have an argument over them accidentally hitting each other trying to chase Lamput]], and they go their separate ways. Later in the episode, a picture of Fat Doc and Slim Doc with the former having facial hair doodled on him can be seen in Slim Doc's house.

* [[ComicBook/TeenTitansGo Raven does this to a sleeping Jinx]] on the 2019 Comic Day Freebie of Teen Titans Go.

* In one ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'' story, charlatan Dr. Doxey changes his name, shaves his moustache and beard, and has a new picture of him taken for his ads. However, a kid Doxey pissed off defaces the ad to the point it looks exactly like Doxey's old face, [[PhotoDoodleRecognition allowing Luke to recognize him]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' episode, "Spacemageddonocalypse", Dr. Eggman takes Orbot and Cubot to his secret underground bunker, where he finds the place vandalized by them. He orders them to clean it up, including wiping a mustache of a picture of him. Since Eggman already has a mustache, he gives us this line:

* ''Film/NowYouSeeIt'': When angry at Danny, Allison spends her time defacing photos of him, giving him a mustache, goatee, and stupid glasses.

* The ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoon "Daffy Doodles" has WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck as the vandalizing "Mustache Fiend" and Porky Pig as a policeman trying to catch him. When Daffy finally gets arrested at the end of the cartoon (but let off by a jury of mustached Jerry Colonna look-alikes), Daffy tearfully repents and promises he'll never draw another mustache... "I'm doin' beards now!"
** Porky also gets hit with a VisualPun in the form of a "handlebar mustache".

* The first thing Technus from ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' does as soon as he's freed from Danny's old game of Doomed is to open a paint program with a picture of Danny's crush Paulina and draw a mustache and massive glasses on her. When he gets transferred to Tucker's PDA, he does the exact same thing to Tucker's copy of Paulina's picture.

** In an earlier episode ("Fanning the Flames"), Sam does this to a giant cardboard cut out of Ember [=McClain=]. Butch must love this trope...

* The WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry cartoon "WesternAnimation/TouchePussyCat" shows Nibbles using an artist brush to paint a caricature of Tom on a wall. When Nibbles realizes that Tom is glaring at him, Nibbles paints spectacles and a mustache on Tom's face.

* Ironically, in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' episode "Every Picture Smurfs A Story", Painter fixes up a picture of the artist Maestro (who turns out to be trapped in a [[PhantomZonePicture portrait prison]]) by painting a mustache on him.

** Also the Gingerbread Smurfs from the eponymous episode painted mustaches on the Smurfs, including Smurfette.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}}'' short "WesternAnimation/SenorDroopy", the main character's BerserkButton is activated when the bull he is fighting defaces the picture of a beautiful Spanish woman he is holding (Mexican actress Lina Romay) with a moustache.
** The gag was repeated in "One Droopy Knight", where a dragon defaces a picture of the princess Droopy wants to marry.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': when Springfield Elementary is snowed in and the kids take over, Milhouse draws mustaches on a bunch of portraits of former presidents, but is clueless about what to do when he reaches [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/William_Howard_Taft_1909.jpg Howard Taft]].
** Also happens in the episode "American History X-cellent".
