Line 10:
* Ned from ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'', who is possibly the most bashful, nervous hero ever seen on television.
** As well as Randy Mann.
* From [[Big Wolf On Campus]] there's [[Perky Goth|Merton]] [[Non
* Dave and Wesley from ''[[Degrassi the Next Generation]]''. Clare had some shades of this in Season 8 (pre [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]). Sav and Anya did this in Season 7. J.T. and Liberty in general. Toby was all over this trope.
* Simon from ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'' most definitely qualifies. The guy strikes out so many times you just wanna hug him.
Line 74:
* Martin Freeman's [[The Watson|John Watson]], from ''[[Sherlock (TV)|Sherlock]]'': a [[Big Damn Hero]] in an oatmeal-coloured woolly jumper. Being [[One Head Taller|much shorter]] than the dramatic and intimidating Sherlock also helps.
** The dramatic and intimidating Sherlock himself actually has a moment of Adorkability himself, after {{spoiler|John proves his complete willingness to lay down his life for him}}. Probably the most [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|adorable]] thing Sherlock's ever done.

* While Sportacus from ''[[Lazy Town]]'' is conventionally attractive, well-muscled and very fitness-oriented, many fans still consider him adorkable due to his constant optimism, boyish over-excitement, hopeless naiveté and awkward English. His baby-blue eyes and cheesy grin only help the matter.
* [[John Simm]] in [[Sex Traffic]], with his cute glasses, klutziness, stutter, and darn ''niceness'', fits the bill perfectly.
Line 95:
* Lilly Truscott in [[Hannah Montana]], especially in the earlier "skater girl" years.
* Olive Doyle in ''[[ANT Farm]]''. Fletcher Quimby even more so.
* Freddie Benson from ''[[
* Gale from the third season of ''[[Breaking Bad]]''.
* Crime-fighting mathematician Charlie Eppes of ''[[Numb3rs]]'' - a springy-haired, mild-eyed [[Absent
* The alien, in the form of Paul Forrester, in ''[[Starman (TV)|Starman]]''.
* The word "Adorkable" is used verbatim in [http://www.afterellen.com/tv/recaps/rizzoli-and-isles-subtext-recap-fourteen?page=0%2C1 this (scroll to the last paragraph)] ''[[Rizzoli and Isles|Rizzoli & Isles]]'' recap where the author is talking about Dr. Maura Isles. And she isn't exaggerating. Maura is socially awkward but highly intelligent and beautiful, in addition to coming with a geeky adorableness that Sasha Alexander absolutely perfects.
