TOP TEN: Mustache Clad Men.

Most people consider mustaches creepy and gross. And usually those people are right.

However, there are several men that have at one point sported such a 'stache and maintained such manliness and in general awesomeness.

(And, in some cases, these men are made even manlier and more awesome.)

The following is a list I have so carefully constructed of Ten men who have been able to sport a Mustache with out looking creepy, and/or losing any manly qualities.

1. Eugene Wrayburn, portrayed by Paul McGann.
(Our Mutual Friend, 1998 Mini-series)

"EugeneEugeneEugene!"

Eugene, Eugene, Eugene.... What an amazing 'stache you have!

Seriously, this truly is an amazing mustache. This surprisingly short curly man pulls off this curved ended look rather well.

Despite his having a mustache the entire 6 hours of the mini-series one finds themselves cheering him on. Rather than the chin-hairless Mr. Hedstone. (Or as my family has, so adoringly, nicknamed him, "Creepy George.")

The point is: Alone, this man is cool. With a mustache, this man is indeed a MAN. No arguments.


2. Norman Warne, portrayed by, Ewan McGregor.
(Miss Potter, 2006)

"Heeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyy....."

Norman McGregor. A man that technically doesn't exist. However, he has a very business-like mustache. Nicely trimmed and always in place! 

(Even in the rain!)

Mr. Warne was a man. A manly man. Anyone who argues differently obviously doesn't understand the importance of his help in getting the "Peter Rabbit" stories published! 

Could you even imagine a world in which Peter Rabbit didn't exist?? MADNESS I SAY!

Be thankful that Norman Warne was man enough to sport his mustache, and man enough to help publish the works Beatrix Potter.

And kiss her, with his mustache in the RAIN!!!! (how people kiss WITH their mustache is beyond me....)


3. Ron Swanson, portrayed by, Nick Offerman.
(Parks and Recreation)
  

"Bacon"

Ron Swanson. He even has his own pyramid of Greatness in which facial hair makes up part of the foundation.

He, himself, sports a well groomed man-stache. One that no man (or woman) would dare dispute.

Ron Swanson was an easy pick for the top ten mustache clad men. 



4. William Adama, portrayed by, Edward James Olmos.
(Battlestar Galactica) 

"Why, hullo there..."

 
Most considered his "seasonal" mustache rather creepy. (pun intended as it was suddenly there one season...)

However, what could make a man leading what was left of the human race more of a man?? 

I'll tell you. A MUSTACHE!!! 


5. Hercule Poirot, portrayed by, David Suchet. 
(What else but Poirot mystery movies?)

"You will confess!"

Poirot. He is so cool. Even cooler and better at getting people to confess than Jessica Fletcher. 

How does he do this? Pure intimidation. 

But how is he so intimidating? Such a short little round man with a funny Belgian accent??  

Two words: His Mustache.

One look at the intimidating upper lip hair and you will blab away!! So beware if you want to kill somebody! Make sure the investigator does not, repeat, does NOT have a Poirot style mustache!!!

6. Lando Calrissian, portrayed by, Billy Dee Williams.
(StarWars. duh!!)

"Llllllllllllllladies."

Lando, it's Lando. Personally, I live in Orlando. So I have always thought Lando was cool by his name alone growing up.

What a foolish child I was. *chuckle*

Lando is cool, not only because of his name, but also due to his bravity in facial hair choices. 

The guy almost stood up to Darth Vader, perhaps if his mustache was only a little fuller he could have succeeded in such a feat. 

7. Dr. John Watson, portrayed by, Jude Law.
(Sherlock Holmes)

"I put the 'hot' in 'Doctor'"

 I mean seriously! The man (somewhat) keeps Holmes in line! Could he do so without a mustache?? Probably. 

However! Doing so WITH a mustache adds class. Style. Manliness. Then just add a bowler for spice. Not only does Watson win over his woman with said manliness, he works it  to death helping Holmes solve mysteries.

There's a lot to be said for a Doctor who sports a 'stache and solves mysteries. For sure. A lot to be said that I might not be the one to say. However, a lot that surely somebody will one day say.
  



8. Dr. Mark Sloan, portrayed by, Dick Van Dyke.
(Diagnosis Murder)

"Just sayin' my 'stache makes people confess too!"

Speaking of 'stached, mystery-solving, doctors...

Mark Sloan, cool guy. Cool doctor. Solved murders with his son/detective. Can you get a cooler premise for the show??

Oh! I know!! Add Dick Van Dyke!!! AND a mustache!!!!! It's a recipe for success!! 

What made the show truly amazing? The mustache. Twas the mustache. Twas always the mustache. Okay, Dick Van Dyke most definitely helped!


9. Howard Stark, portrayed by, Dominic Cooper. 
(Captain America: The First Avenger)

"I'm hungry for... fondue"

Yes. It's Iron Man's daddy. Yes Iron Man had some pa-retty cool beard hairs going on. However, I don't recall Iron Man ever sporting such a man-stache. (At least in the movies)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing Tony's hairs. But his dad had the right idea. 

He sports a mustache the entire movie without creeping anybody out, and even manages to make Captain America himself jealous!!!

(Even if it is for somewhat different than the implied reasons.) 

My only complaint? There wasn't a scene in which he was cleaning fondue out of the 'stache.  :/

10. Cpt. Leland Stottlemeyer, portrayed by, Ted Levine.
(Monk, television series)

From Captain America, to Captain Stottlemeyer. 

I will be the first to admit it, Leland has a smooth mustache. You hardly even know it's there most of the time. As if it's in the corner of your eye...

Shall we call it... ninja mustache? I think yes. 

On top of having a manly ninja mustache, Stottlemeyer solves crimes with the obsessive-compulsive, OCD, Adrian Monk.

Man with the ninja mustache=the sidekick of a Monk?

....... Almost... something like that....
Bottom line _____ Ninja mustache=Manly Cop. 


So ends the list of TEN MANLY MUSTACHED MEN. 

I know I shall receive flak for not including Tom Selic. And indeed, I agree he had/sometimes-still-has a very manly 'stache. However, his mustache is a little obvious at this point. I like to play stealth here! Keep you on your toes! How fun would it be if you had been able to guess every man on the list?? 

If there are any noteworthy man-staches that I have neglected please comment below telling me about it! I literally live my days to read comments about mustached men!!!

......

Okay, I exaggerate. However, I would like to hear your opinions! And more than that I would like for you to follow my blog.

At this point you have lost interest. So I shall bid thee farewell.

FIN.
