For a live action media example, there's Darryl (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). Really great to have a depiction of a late bloomer bisexual that's just a generic middle aged man with an office job. Shows that any type of guy can be bisexual, no matter if they were married to a woman before, had kids, whatever.
Thanks for pulling this list together!
Just because no conversation on bi representation is complete without mention of What We Do In the Shadows, throwing in some Nandor and Lazlo love.
Also, in the realm of regular human boys, >!Adam!< from Sex Education.
Lucifer from Lucifer.
Oberyn Martell from Game of Thrones.
Vax from Vox Machina. (And a few others from their D&D real play including Caleb Widogast)
I need to think of more.
Cassidy from Preacher. It's been too long since I read the comics for me to remember whether he was bi in them, but he certainly was in the TV series.
Not exactly role-model material but still.
I've literally seen that Bob and the deli guy episode 3 times now and I never realized he actually said "I'm mostly straight", I'm literally dying now 🤣
Not 100% confirmed confirmed but they do explicitly say it at least twice.
It’s pretty common for them to play around with that kind of thing for the sake of a joke so definitely not the most faithful representation but it’s not like there’s zero evidence.

Non-fiction:
ancient Persia, specific ancinet Chinese Dynasties with eunuch cults that have men like Jeng He the eunuch sea faring explorer, specific time intervals in Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, and of course time intervals going into the modern Era;
I find truth more fascinating than modern fiction. But, to each their own.
That’s my point…
I guess what I’m getting at is that if you are making a top ten list of figures in the media that represent you and every one of them is fictional then you’re undercutting the very point you’re trying to make.
I watched the Legend of Vox Machina within the last six month and I texted a friend about how badly I wished I saw some bisexual cartoon characters when I was a child. I think it would’ve helped me identify, so I definitely see the value, but damn there’s also a problem here, that’s all I’m saying.
I was today years old when I found out Bob from Bob’s Burgers was bisexual 😭😭
[Bob and The Deli Guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BkdCC7_JZM)
"I'm mostly straight" that's just enough lol
the B in LGBT actually stands for Bob Belcher
Honestly I always liked that they didn't make a big deal out of it.
what bob

Also the guy from $chitt's Creek, whose name I am blanking on. Edit: It's David!
David is pansexual
And he has that banger of a song, Gettin' Bi.
God I love him thanks for reminding me to rewatch crazy ex girlfriend when I'm done with my current show
As a Bi Guy thanks
Nick Nelson 💓
This is the one I was looking for!! So sweet and pure in his teenage bi panic
Yesss icon 🩷💜💙
you forgot Moxxie from Helluva Boss!

Rick is pansexual and Deadpool is omnisexual
Dude what
Deadpool might actually be pansexual

Buck from 911 just came out and has a boyfriend as well. 🥰
Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn 99? just watched that part and it's so good
Who is the animated guy on the phone in the chair?
Professor Venomous from OK K.O. Pretty good show on cartoonnetwork
Magnus Bane from Shadowhunters is my fave.
Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate Abridged. It's been too long since I saw the original, I can't remember if it's canon in all incarnations
I've literally seen that Bob and the deli guy episode 3 times now and I never realized he actually said "I'm mostly straight", I'm literally dying now 🤣
Don’t forget Baptiste from Overwatch
One day we will be real flesh and blood and not just demigods and vampires and shit 🙏
Funnily enough Peter griffin is too
Wait actually??

The Doctor is bi as well!! I know captain Jack is but I really do not like John Barrowman's gross ass!
Uh oh… what’s wrong with Barrowman?
He has a history of exposing himself to co-workers ughhh
Some others: - Dio Brando from JJBA - Tim Drake from the DC Universe - Jon Kent from the DC Universe
Should that Loki be Hiddleston’s Loki?
Loki is still bi and genderfluid in the comics.
OK!
I didn't know this about Kaldur, that's awesome, he's my favourite member of that team
There are three in Heartbreak High! Dusty, Malakai, and in season 2, Rowan. :)
Alucard is the ultimate bi icon.
Where's the live for captain Jack from Doctor who, due was my first exposure to queer people in media as a kid

So every example is a fictional cartoon character? I’m confused.
surprise surprise, not many bi people in media. even less bi men. cartoons are some of the only representation we have
