![]() ![]() Jotaro relents, because "only he would know such stupid things" Namely, that he collects comic books, that he knows Bo Derek starred in Tarzan, and that Weird Al sang "Eat It". He pretends to be possessed by the vengeful spirit of Dio as a prank on Jotaro, and barely saves his skin from his angry grandson by stating his personal interests. After being killed by Dio and having his blood drained, Joseph is brought back to life with a blood transfusion from Dio's remains. Not only does he fight vampires and telekinetic bad guys alongside the younger heroes, but he collects comic books and has a wickedly awesome sense of humor the latter two are especially put into play in the finale chapter. Joseph Joestar from Part 3 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.Dave Thomas was one both in the Wendy's commercials and out of them, see for yourself.Colonel Sanders whenever he appears in commercials, he's much cooler than he was when he was alive.(As in "Time to make the donuts!") Originally portrayed as an atypical baker, a hard-working, average joe who always got up early so his product could be ready and fresh for his customers, Fred got progressively cooler as the years went on, doing such things as dressing up like a woman to investigate a supermarket bakery (to show their inferiority), waiting on modish 1980s customers while going into a black and white kitchen full of 1940s employees working to swing music (to show that quality has not changed throughout the years) or even creating his Halloween-themed mini donuts Mad Scientist-style.

He usually either has a dated and dramatic but lovable personality or is a complete no-nonsense hardass, depending on how the other characters act. He usually won't have any special powers but that's only to marginally keep him from intruding on the other's limelight. For reasons that should be clear enough, this trope frequently overlaps with Bald of Awesome. Expect him to be greying, a loud voice, but in peak physical condition and unafraid of anything. In a lot of anime and video games, this makes him somewhere around middle age and the only non- clean shaven guy. At some point, if one character is much older he swings the meter back to 'totally awesome'. The Cool Old Guy is an exception to this. Deviations up or down will always be coupled with a lack of effectiveness. The effectiveness of a cast member is often determined by his distance from the median age of the cast. ![]()
