Line 2: ''"Come over here and sit on yer uncle's lap!"'' A version of the [[Dirty Old Man]] with some incest thrown ~~in -- a~~in—a character who has a rather ''excessive'' attachment to their niece or nephew. Oddly, the [[Evil Uncle]] is rarely one of these. Unfortunately, [[Truth in Television]]. Most instances of child sexual abuse involve an older male relative molesting a child, more often than not a girl. {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * In ''[[~~Tsukigasa (Manga)\|~~Tsukigasa]]'', Azuma's uncle rapes him after Azuma's mother ([[Brother-Sister Incest\|his uncle's sister]]) dies because he resembles her. == Comics == * In one [[Spider -Man]] comic, Spidey tells a kid worried about molestation about a kid who was molested by an older friend. He then ends with saying that that kid was ''him'' (Peter). The older friend looked suspiciously like Uncle Ben, and there is an [[Urban Legend]] that he was originally supposed to ''be'' Uncle Ben. Yeah. == [[Fan Works]] == * Uncle Larry from ''[[Forbiden Fruit: ~~the~~The Tempation ofOf Edward Cullen ~~(Fanfic)~~\|Forbiden Fruit The Tempation Of Edward Cullen]]''. == [[Film]] == * This trope is mentioned in the "name your cliché" speech from ''[[Con Air]]'' about Billy Bedlam and his motivations for the murders that sent him to prison: {{quote\| '''Garland Greene:''' He's a font of misplaced rage. Name your cliché; Mother held him too much or not enough, last picked at kickball, late night sneaky uncle, whatever. Now he's so angry moments of levity actually cause him pain; gives him headaches. Happiness, for that gentleman, hurts.}} * Frank from ''[[~~Hellraiser (Film)\|~~Hellraiser]]''. Initially, his main target of interest was Kristy's stepmother, with whom he had an affair. However, he eventually tires of her, and is shown to later set his sights on Kristy, whom he even mentions has "gotten beautiful." He later tries to rape her, and in the sequel, tries ''again''... and gets a bit further when she [[Show Some Leg\|kisses him to distract him]]. * In ''[[Slumber Party Massacre III]]'', the killer's late uncle is hinted to be one. * Felicia from ''[[The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert]]'' describes sabotaging a creepy uncle in childhood. "Get your mum, {{spoiler\|Uncle's stuck in the plug hole!}}" * The direct-to-video horror spoof ''[[Jack Frost (1997 ~~(Film~~film)\|Jack Frost 1997]]'' (not to be confused with the [[Michael Keaton]] family comedy of the same name) had the story of killer snowman Jack told by one of these characters to his niece (no incest, though). Even though the girl is American, the uncle is apparently British. == [[Literature]] == Line 36: * One of the ''[[Teenage Worrier]]'' books has cartoons of annoying relations of Letty, including an uncle leering at her while commenting on how much she has grown since he last saw her. * Jeannette Walls' uncle in ''The Glass Castle'' is one of these. After he attempts to molest her, she refuses to continue going to his house to bathe, even though she has no other access to running water. * Pete from ''[[~~Alfies~~Alfie's Home]]'' == [[Live Action TV]] == * Buck Henry's "Uncle Roy" character from the earliest seasons of [[Saturday Night Live]]. * Charlie's Uncle Jack from [[~~Its~~It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia]]. ** That guy was waaaaaaaaaay too into having Charlie "show on the doll" where his old coach supposedly touched him. * Sookie's great-uncle Bartlett in [[True Blood]]. Like in the book series, Bill kills him in revenge for what he did to Sookie. Sookie later learns that Bartlett had left her everything he owned in his will. * [[Scrubs\|J.D. and Carla]] each seem to have had one who came to their ballet classes and said, "Keep dancing, pretty girl." * ''[[Merlin (TV series)\|Merlin]]'' Shades of this pop up in one of the early Agravaine eps of season 4...he doesn't actually molest anyone, given it's a family show, but he really gives the indication of wanting to try something with Gwen. Who, of course, will be his niece one day even though she isn't yet. == [[Music]] == Line 50: == [[Theater]] == * The play ''How I Learned to Drive'' is a [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]] version, as the play and the protagonist are inclined to sympathize with the uncle that molested her (and [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin\|taught her to drive]]). * [[Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Richard III]]'' tried to marry his niece Elizabeth. He's primarily interested in her claim to the throne, but his plan creeps everyone else out. * [[Shakespeare]] arguably has one with Pandarus in ''Troilus and Cressida''- he seems a little ''too interested'' in hooking up his niece, Cressida with sex partners. Line 58: == [[Western Animation]] == * Poor little Butters from ''[[South Park]]'' seems to have one of these, among his many other misfortunes. * ''[[~~The Venture Brothers (Animation)\|~~The Venture Brothers]]'' episode has The Monarch, missing his family connections, trying to bond with his captives Hank and Dean with fresh baked cookies and taking their ineffectual fighting as good-natured roughhousing. The boys are overjoyed to be rescued, Hank claiming Monarch "was getting all 'creepy uncle' on us!" (Which, if you were really digging for clues, could imply Doc Venture and The Monarch are brothers?) ** Sgt. Hatred is a variation as well. He is first mentioned by Hank in a passing reference to the guy being so creepy that Dean has repressed the memories of being his prisoner (it's not explicitly stated that he was a pedophile, or that he had actually molested the boys, but the implication was there). Later he shows up as Doctor Venture's new arch-villain, but a few legal complications about how close he's allowed to be to any "beautiful young boys" come up here and there (the look of panic on his face when he shows up and the Doctor is running a day camp for preteen boys is priceless). Part of his eventual [[Heel Face Turn]] involves taking a special serum that suppresses those impulses, so he's not an actual threat anymore, but now he LIVES IN THEIR HOUSE, and is still pretty creepy from time to time... == [[Web Original]] == * At the end of her "Enchanted Christmas" review, [[~~Web Video~~ The Nostalgia Chick]] revealed she had one of these when she was a kid. [[Played for Laughs]], [[Crosses the Line Twice\|naturally]]. {{reflist}} Line 68: [[Category:Villains]] [[Category:Creepy Uncle]] [[Category:Rule of Creepy]]
