* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' occasionally plays the trope very straight:
** Highness Duke Org Ura, the second ArcVillain of ''Series/HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger'' has an effeminate tone to his voice, feminine mannerisms, wields a paper fan as his weapon and even has an obsession with pretty things such as jewels. Even his catchphrase and laughter are those typically associated with noblewomen.
** Sorcery Priest Meemy, the second ArcVillain of ''Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger'', similarly to Ura above, has his entire character be effeminate in addition to dressing in colorful robes. He also has vanity as part of his character to further accentuate.

Not helped by the tight silver bodysuits and the Doctor pointing out they get killed with "glitterguns" -- a bit {{Disco}} even by the standards of an episode from 1974.
** Mehendri Solon in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E5TheBrainOfMorbius The Brain of Morbius]]" wears a lot of fancy jewellery, is hugely misogynistic, spends his time [[MadArtist making 'models' of striking male faces]] and appears to find the Doctor very attractive (attractive enough to want to [[OrganTheft steal his head]] for a horrible FrankensteinsMonster, at any rate), even flirting with him in some scenes as much as 1975 would allow. Note the models resemble Classical sculpture and Solon is the name of an ancient Greek politician.
** Mad gardener Harrison Chase in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E6TheSeedsOfDoom The Seeds of Doom]]" is camp, fay, fastidious, WickedCultured, wears fashionable clothes and black leather gloves and 'could play all day in [his] green cathedral'.

** Turlough is introduced in a public school (and keeps the uniform), an aesthete, and his darkness is portrayed as him being sensitive, fey and cowardly. He does do a HeelFaceTurn, though, and keeps up the camp.
* Goodness gracious, Terry Karrens from ''{{Series/Dollhouse}}'' is rather effeminate for someone with an OedipusComplex.
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': The eunuch Lord Varys subverts this trope brilliantly. Really, when everyone already knows you're a eunuch, what the devil's the point of wasting time embarrassing yourself by trying to look butch? Raised by actors, he knows how to play the role properly to keep the Queen and her council guessing. Even MagnificentBastard Petyr Baelish doesn't quite know what he's up to. It's mostly an act--when he gets truly angry or serious he drops his usual polite, facetious tone and his voice becomes considerably lower, first seen when he delivers quite a hardass WhatTheHellHero to Ned Stark when trying to convince him to give a false confession and demands him to serve the realm, or when he threatens Tyrion in Season 2 and Littlefinger in Season 3.
* Cobblepot is more than a little fey on ''Series/{{Gotham}}'' and sometimes attempts to be flirtatious with Gordon. He's prissy, sycophantic, and [[SharpDressedMan loves his formal wear]]...and a [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]], ruthless killer.
* Nevel in ''Series/ICarly''. "Mother, run a bath!".
* Averted in ''Series/{{Kings}}''. Prince Jack is both a homosexual and a villain but he's also a soldier who commands the respect of his men and is fully capable beating a guy to a pulp in a bar brawl.
* Although he's definitely heterosexual, as far as mannerisms go Chancellor Dongalor in ''Series/KrodMandoonAndTheFlamingSwordOfFire'' practically floats out the window. Considering how snarky he is about the actual gays in the show you have to wonder what he's repressing.
** And of course he's played by an openly gay actor.
* A ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'' episode gives us Dr. Roger Stern, a prissy, cultured surgeon who is well aware that he's prissy and compensates by doing terrible things to women.
%%* Dr. Smith from ''Series/LostInSpace''.
* Meemy [[SpellMyNameWithAnS or thereabouts]] from ''Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger''. Imperious from ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'' was less so, though little attempt was made to hide the mannerisms (reminiscent of [[Series/PowerRangersZeo Queen Machina]], actually) and when he first took that form, he called it "beautiful." Both versions are pretty non-flirtatious, though, and certifiably able to reduce you to very small smithereens.
* ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'':
** One MonsterOfTheWeek called the Octophantom didn't look very feminine, but he certainly ''acted'' that way. He was so ''vain'' that Billy was able to distract him by getting him to pause - mid-battle, no less - to admire himself in a mirror, and enable the heroes to gain the drop on him.
** An even more egregious example is Flame Head, a fire-themed monster with what sounds like an obviously female voice and feminine mannerisms, but is actually male.
** Stag Beetle after the Megazord chops off his pincers.
--->MY BEAUTIFUL PINCERS!
* Parodied in an episode of ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'', involving Special Investigator Lemming of the British Dental Association. Mad Dentist SuperVillain "The Big Cheese" is played by Creator/GrahamChapman in one of his more flamboyant performances.
-->Flopsy's dead and never called me 'mother'.
* ''Series/MurdochMysteries'': James Gillies is a recurring villain who murders people ForTheEvulz (and later to get revenge) and to prove that he's smarter than Detective William Murdoch. He's somewhat effeminate, soft-spoken, occasionally wears women's clothes (he did it to disguise himself first, but later admits he likes it), and he used dolls in one of his schemes.
* Rumpelstiltskin (portrayed by Robert Carlyle) in ''Series/OnceUponATime''. Especially with his Michael Jackson squeal. Downplayed in later seasons, as not at all present in his modern "Mr. Gold" persona.
* Upon hearing a historian's theory that Adolf Hitler was gay, The Tina Fey/Jimmy Fallon incarnation of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'''s Weekend Update introduced a recurring character Gay Hitler, played by Chris Kattan.
* Ratallack of ''Series/TheShadowLine''. He's an [[CampGay extremely camp]] {{Gayngster}} who's ruthless enough that he'll [[spoiler:order the death of his own boyfriend to improve his position]].
* Jim [[spoiler: Moriarty]] from ''Series/{{Sherlock}}''. He's dressed to the nines and can be outright flaming, although he says he's [[spoiler: only playing gay]].
* Kivas Fajo from the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "The Most Toys". He'd be delighted to watch Data go around naked.
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': Crowley spouts DoubleEntendre like its going out of style, is fond of calling people "darling", "sweetie", "kitten", "handsome", etc. and is [[WickedCultured smartly dressed and cultured]]. He's also a DepravedBisexual who will kiss men to make deals with them and in season 11 he possesses a women who has sex with her husband in a foursome with another couple before killing them all.
* In Creator/TheBBC's 1960s adaptation of ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'', Rochefort is shown to be an incompetent fighter (he falls on his arse from surprise when d'Artagnan challenges him into a duel) and he's seen crying after a minor injury. He's also wearing very light-coloured clothing and spends more time adjusting his shoes and swishing his cloak than doing any actual menacing.
* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'':
** Captain John Hart is the ultimate aversion of this trope. Violent, evil, snarky, and can beat the crap out of anyone you care to name.
** His good counterpart, TheHero Captain Jack Harkness was once described as a homophobic TV viewer's nightmare. An arse-kicking, quipping queer. Bonus, his actor is gay, despite the character being 'omnisexual'.

** An even more egregious example is Flame Head, a fire-themed monster with what sounds like an obviously female voice and feminine mannerisms, but is actually male.
** Stag Beetle after the Megazord chops off his pincers.
--->MY BEAUTIFUL PINCERS!
* Parodied in an episode of ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'', involving Special Investigator Lemming of the British Dental Association. Mad Dentist SuperVillain "The Big Cheese" is played by Creator/GrahamChapman in one of his more flamboyant performances.
-->Flopsy's dead and never called me 'mother'.
* ''Series/MurdochMysteries'': James Gillies is a recurring villain who murders people ForTheEvulz (and later to get revenge) and to prove that he's smarter than Detective William Murdoch. He's somewhat effeminate, soft-spoken, occasionally wears women's clothes (he did it to disguise himself first, but later admits he likes it), and he used dolls in one of his schemes.
* Rumpelstiltskin (portrayed by Robert Carlyle) in ''Series/OnceUponATime''. Especially with his Michael Jackson squeal. Downplayed in later seasons, as not at all present in his modern "Mr. Gold" persona.
* Upon hearing a historian's theory that Adolf Hitler was gay, The Tina Fey/Jimmy Fallon incarnation of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'''s Weekend Update introduced a recurring character Gay Hitler, played by Chris Kattan.
* Ratallack of ''Series/TheShadowLine''. He's an [[CampGay extremely camp]] {{Gayngster}} who's ruthless enough that he'll [[spoiler:order the death of his own boyfriend to improve his position]].
* Jim [[spoiler: Moriarty]] from ''Series/{{Sherlock}}''. He's dressed to the nines and can be outright flaming, although he says he's [[spoiler: only playing gay]].
* Kivas Fajo from the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "The Most Toys". He'd be delighted to watch Data go around naked.
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': Crowley spouts DoubleEntendre like its going out of style, is fond of calling people "darling", "sweetie", "kitten", "handsome", etc. and is [[WickedCultured smartly dressed and cultured]]. He's also a DepravedBisexual who will kiss men to make deals with them and in season 11 he possesses a women who has sex with her husband in a foursome with another couple before killing them all.
* In Creator/TheBBC's 1960s adaptation of ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'', Rochefort is shown to be an incompetent fighter (he falls on his arse from surprise when d'Artagnan challenges him into a duel) and he's seen crying after a minor injury. He's also wearing very light-coloured clothing and spends more time adjusting his shoes and swishing his cloak than doing any actual menacing.
* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'':
** Captain John Hart is the ultimate aversion of this trope. Violent, evil, snarky, and can beat the crap out of anyone you care to name.
** His good counterpart, TheHero Captain Jack Harkness was once described as a homophobic TV viewer's nightmare. An arse-kicking, quipping queer. Bonus, his actor is gay, despite the character being 'omnisexual'.
