Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Believe it or not, Yugi is NOT a baby panda. Whoda thunkit?
  • Edward Current, of YouTube fame. While attempting to parody fundamentalism, he provides a pretty good straight example of this trope.
  • Cleolinda Jones coined the term "Adoraklutz" to refer to Bella Swan; however, this reflects the rest of the cast's reaction to her rather than Cleo's.
  • Charlieissocoollike [1]. Once, he even made a video reading the responses he had received in a survey of teenage girls in an attempt to better understand them. Apparently, many of said girls think about him quite a lot.
  • Also on Youtube, Sexy Nerd feminist (most certainly not of the straw variety) Sarah Haskins, who is tomboyishly dorky.
  • The VLOG BROTHERS, John and Hank Green.
    • The sadly departed Esther Earl was one in addition to being a teenage cancer patient and undeniably a woobie despite her usually happy attitude. This video should give you a bit of an idea how she was, though it's a MAJOR Tear Jerker as well... (R.I.A. Esther.)
  • Let's just say everyone at TGWTG and save us the trouble of making a list. Special mention should go to Nella in all her glorious wo-man childness.
  • This is the reason Dr. Horrible is Mr. Fanservice.
  • Codex, full stop. Zaboo kind of straddles the line between this and just creepy.
  • This guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm Kn Qj Bf 8 w M.
  • The boys from The Midnight Beast, especially in this video
  • Awkward's main three guys: Lester, Kevin, and even Alex. They're terribly nerdy (Alex's idea of a pickup line is "Do you want to go to Anime North with me?"), but you just want to hug them.
  • StinkulousReddous, a cosplayer known for dressing up as Seto Kaiba and appearing at cons featuring Little Kuriboh and other abridgers, who she bakes brownies for. She also wields a briefcase that can instantly knock out anyone.
  • Andrew Kepple, of animutation fame.
  • Youtube blogger Gotham Scarecrow is usually actually kind of scary - he's always in character and he plays the sinister nerd impeccably - but he got so excited about the new DC Animated Movie that he broke character (the first time I've seen him do so) and his full-on nerdy excitement is just hilarious ... and cute.
  • Red vs. Blue:
    • Freelancer York (and arguably also his AI Delta, nicknamed Dee). He's a Bad Liar, socially awkward, a bit of a Butt Monkey, and unusually nice and funny for a Freelancer--not to mention having an adorably snarky friendship with Delta.
    • Freelancer Washington also is shown to have fit this trope in his younger days. He's wide-eyed idealistic, friendly, well-meaning but socially inept, and almost painfully straitlaced and bewildered by anything that's not by-the-book.
  • DOB aka Daniel O'Brien of Cracked.com. Particularly his character in the Agents of Cracked series.
  • Zack of Echo Chamber.
    • Tom anytime he lets the Jerkass thing go and is honest about how he feels. And Dana anytime she lets go of the snark to be honest has a such an adorably hard time with it.
    • Gaelyn of season two.
  • Weebl is this in his vlogs.
  • MSF High Forum: Swade, so very much. He's a shy, geeky artist with a tendency to put his foot in his mouth, especially in front of cute girls.
    • His character is much the same.
  • Widget of the Whateley Universe. Cute inventor at Super-Hero School Whateley Academy. Has a crush on Thunderbird, who thinks of her as a 'pal'. Wears bicycle caps and schlubby clothes, needs social skills, and has no idea how ot do her hair and use makeup to actually look pretty. Plus she's in a school with some of the most beautiful teenagers on the planet.
  • Sokka and especially Zuko in Avatar: The Abridged Series.
