Line 9 ⟶ 8:
How can you tell if it's an Alien Scrappy? Well, if you're not one of those people that despises all things cute and chirpy, in fact, you'll even squeal at a baby animal once in a while... and you ''still'' think the annoying little character should die? That's a pretty good hint.
{{examples}}
== Comics ==
* [[The DCU]] has a bunch of these, mostly spawned from Mr. Mxyzptlk from ''[[Superman]]''. They're very often The [[Great Gazoo]] as well.
Line 92 ⟶ 91:
* Parodied once on ''[[Sealab 2021]]'', when Dr. Quinn's character is changed from an [[Ethnic Scrappy]] into an [[Alien Scrappy]].
{{quote|'''Quinn:''' Why am I a friggin' Martian?
'''Director:''' Hey, sweet! Wardrobe got you set up, and listen, you are not a Martian. [[Stargate SG-1|You're from a super-race of symbiotes. Little snake lives in your belly]].
'''Quinn:''' Since when?
'''Director:''' Well, the writers were, you know, having trouble writing for, uh, ''urban'' characters.
'''Quinn:''' "Urban" meaning black.
'''Director:''' So now he's like Mr. Spock. But urban. Like, "Get at me, dawg!"
'''Quinn:''' This show sucks. }}
* Gloop and Gleep from ''The Herculoids'' sometimes got a bit annoying, thanks to that headache-inducing gibbidygook "talking" of theirs. And their schmoo-like simplicity was rather jarring, when compared to the visual styling of the other Herculoid critters.
