Old Man Uke
An old man uke is a character over the age of 46 who I want to rotate in my head and bang against other Barbie dolls. It is one of my favorite types of uke.
There is a “gap moe” appeal between what normal society traditionally considers “cute” (tiny baby animals), and the cuteness of an old man. You will often see this “gap moe” in say, wrestling fangirls who think Abdullah the Butcher is super kawaii, or teenagers that have Gollum as their widdle huggable blorbo.
Examples
| Name | Media | Appeal |
| Bruce Wayne | Batman Beyond | 80+, depressed, disabled, and lonely |
| Paul Heyman | Pro Wrestling | 60+, naughty |
| Willem Dafoe | Actor | 69+, genki |
| Basile | My ocs donutsteel | 55+, kind of a bitch |
Old?
46+ years is the baseline for an “old” character. They must also be visibly aged in some way - whether it's sag, wrinkle, gray hair, or baldness. So a 1000 year old smooth elf twink doesn't count, and neither does Benjamin Button. Ideally they'd be over 55+ years old, and thus eligible for a senior discount at IHOP.
There is no one set personality type for an “old” character. I find “grumpy old characters beaten by time and experience” to be very cute, just as I find “genki optimistic characters that still believe in a brighter tomorrow despite the sands of time” to be very cute. As long as their personality is somewhat influenced by their longer time on earth, it's all cool.
Man?
The uke does not need to be a man. The uke can be male, female, none, and all. Ukes that I find appealing are often androgynous or play with gender presentation in some way. I will often call these characters “MILVES” no matter their gender.
Uke?
The uke is definitely a bottom. All my faves are bottoms, because I would like to insert bananas into their mouths to see how many would fit in there.
Is the old man uke necessarily submissive? Not always! There are some like Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin that have too much zest for life to stop bouncing and screaming. The more “dominant” old man ukes may overlap with evil uke.
What are your favorite Old Man Ukes?
my old man uke, i think, (technically an old man verse BUT! but! i do love him as an uke, it is near and dear to my heart when he bottoms) would have to be dr. benjamin kondraki - a character from the group project horror fiction hub known as the scp foundation. he's an overweight fifty-something-year-old man with terrible eyesight, a combination of bipolar disorder AND undiagnosed adhd, a hub of camouflaging butterflies that hover around him, and he sort of hates everyone while maybe secretly caring about them deeply. maybe.
he threw cat piss at a vampire and rode around the unkillable, misanthropic lizard like he was in a rodeo. he is in his fifties at MINIMUM at this point and an actual dilf with a son in his late twenties/early thirties, draven = ) while my main blorbo falls more into the category of a /classic/ bratty uke archetype in terms of how i typically imagine or draw him, i do wish i could stuff kondraki into a pringle can and shake it violently.
I love this page. My favorite old man uke is the fake persona that John F. made for Mono Puff that I just call Brother Puff. He is old and has an awful attitude and I want to tie him to a radiator. :)
That sounds wonderful! I love secret identities. Do you have a fav video of Brother Puff?
