Men in general, or a specific man, are called out (often by their wives or lovers, and almost always by a woman) as still behaving like a little boy. The woman in question does not have to be someone who Does Not Like Men, but can see herself as someone who loves and tolerates a man or men despite their supposed immaturity. Involves an interpretation of some masculine attributes as involving an immature lack of restraint etc. An example of a gender-related Double Standard, as the reverse occurs less frequently (and/or is difficult to pull off effectively due to the fact that things considered "childish" for men might be considered normal for women). See also Parenting the Husband and Manchild. Compare Women Are Wiser. |

Psych has Shawn, who likes watching Phineas and Ferb, playing video games, and is as hyperactive as an actual child. In one episode, Juliet even describes working with him as "babysitting". Downplayed by Gus. While he has a job and is generally more mature and cautious than Shawn, he too is Not So Above It All. There is a reason why he and Shawn are best friends... |

Played with in Brooklyn Nine-Nine in the dynamic between Jake Peralta and Amy Santiago. Jake is quite obviously a bit of a Manchild, earning him plenty of eye-rolling from Santiago... except that Santiago is pretty childish herself, except more in a "constantly running for high school valedictorian" sense, and in some ways they're as bad as each other. | |

This occurs at least twice in Granada's production of Sherlock Holmes starring Jeremy Brett: From the episode "The Man with the Twisted Lip", Mrs Whitney refers to her cocaine-addicted husband: The episode based on "The Dying Detective" involved a dinner party where several distinguished gentlemen were trying out the latest fad from one of their clubs, namely running and sliding across a polished wooden floor on a rug. |

Long-running comedy Last of the Summer Wine embodies this trope - the three central characters, and the cast of occasional characters around them, are all men in their sixties and seventies regressing to adolescence, fourteen year old minds in senior bodies. Freed from the need to work, the cast of retirees get into scrapes more appropriate to teenage boys. Compo is the worst, especially in his unquenchable pursuit of battleaxe Norah Batty who, along with the women of the town, treats the men as a childish nuisance. | |

In the Doctor Who serial "The Time Warrior", Sarah is told by a cynical medieval scullery overseer that "men are like children, fond of noise and roaring". | |

Forever: At the end of the pilot, in a deleted scene, Henry asks Jo as they get into her police car if they can turn on the sirens. She gives him an amused/indulgent/exasperated look and asks Henry how old he is, but she does turn the lights and sirens on. Henry grins like a little boy. | |

In Family Guy Lois once said that being married to Peter is like being married to a child. After the ensuing Cutaway Gag, Peter tells her to watch what she says, because if he were actually a child, that'd make her a paedophile. | |
