Line 4:
Expect huge amounts of [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]] and [[Never Say "Die"]], although he will use the worst euphemisms he can get away with and "curse" more often than his companions. His favorite phrases are "kick some butt/tail" and "Shoot!" For some reason, this type of character tends to be [[Totally Radical]].
The '''Badbutt''' tends to use [[Family-Friendly Firearms]]. When he is wielding a sword, expect plenty of the [[Inverse Law of Sharpness and Accuracy]].
Not to be confused with a [[Badass]] character who happens to be from a kids' show, movie, etc. (e.g. the cast of the ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'' shorts). [[I Thought It Meant|Has nothing to do with]] [[Gasshole]].

{{examples}}
== Anime
* Seto Kaiba in the 4Kids dub of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]
* Most, if not all serious characters of the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime. List includes Giovanni, Cyrus, Hunter J, the Iron-Masked Marauder, Lawrence III, as well as Ash's [[The Rival|rival]] Paul (to an extent).
== Comic Books ==
* Whenever [[Marvel Comics]] does a family friendly book featuring [[Wolverine]] (such as ''Wolverine: First Class'') readers are treated to the sight of a
** Wolverine also never drinks or smokes in "family friendly" books, though he rarely smokes in regular comics anymore these days either.
* [[Nova]] - sure, he can get quite violent with his powers, but it's acknowledged and even lapmshaded that he hates swearing and doesn't seem to like smoking or drinking either.
{{quote|''[[Catch Phrase|Blue blazes!]]''}}
== Film ==
Line 32 ⟶ 30:
* Dean Moriarity on ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' wears a leather jacket, kisses lots of girls, and is a ''temporary'' tattoo artist. Real badass there.
* The Fonz from ''[[Happy Days]]'' started out as a tough guy, but grew into this after he became a [[Breakout Character]].
* Most [[Sixth Ranger
** Well, [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Tommy Oliver]] eventually [http://www.toplessrobot.com/2010/02/do_not_with_the_green_ranger.php became an MMA fighter]. So remember, kids, dreams ''do'' come true.
* There is a [[Disney XD]] sitcom called ''[[I'm in The Band]]'' that is constructed entirely from this trope. It's kinda like Van Halen starring in ''[[Full House]]''.
Line 51 ⟶ 49:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* X-Pletive from [[Essay Bee Comics Presents Fusion]] is a parody of this trope - he is quite badass and is also a minister and had high moral standards. He especially hates swearing. But his poweres come from stimulating anger centers of his brain and the best way to do it is to swear, so he swears like a drunken sailor.
Line 81 ⟶ 79:
* In the ''[[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' animated shorts, Link never actually uses his sword as, well, a sword (at least on sentient opponents). No slicing or thrusting whatsoever. He instead takes advantage of its beam-shooting properties and thus uses it more like a sword-shaped [[Boom Stick]].
** In ''Stinging a Singer'', he turns down a sword offered to him by a wandering merchant because it's useless... ''for not firing beams.'' He later decides to get it due to supposedly having the power to make ladies like him, but {{spoiler|turns out it's fake.}} When he tries to fight later, it turns out despite his skill with the beams, he's not actually a very good swordsman and gets disarmed before he tries to swing it.
* ''[[G.I. Joe]]'': These men (and women) are supposed to be the best of the best of the best that the U.S. armed forces can offer. And yet, starting with the second season, they routinely find themselves run into the ground by their new drill sergeant: Sergeant
** And Snake Eyes, supposedly the baddest of the bad (a ninja, no less, who except for the lack of a healing factor and indestructible skeleton might even good enough to give [[Wolverine]] a run for his money), never even manages to land a single blow on his opponents. Fat lot of good all of those blades, small arms, and martial arts training do under the circumstances.
* ''[[Conan the Adventurer (animation)|Conan the Adventurer]]''. It's [[Conan the Barbarian]] -- [[Recycled in Space|FOR KIDS!]]
Line 91 ⟶ 89:
** From the same [[USA Network]] animation block: ''[[Wing Commander Academy]]'''s Maniac. Partially justified in that the series is a far-flung prequel to the first game in the series, years before they graduated from flight school. The mouth he gets on him later, well, let's just say in the modern day he wouldn't be out of place in the average Navy bar. Also, his tactics were downgraded to merely 'unorthodox' and 'not by the book,' not the complete [[Blood Knight|batshit insane mess]] he would later become.
* ''[[Highlander the Animated Series]].'' The kids version of a franchise about people chopping each others' heads off with swords for recreation.
** They ''did'' have the [[Big Bad]] perform some decapitations thanks to [[Gory Discretion Shot]] and a fair amount of death. Ramirez may count as a
* Jade from ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'' and the "ancient art of butt-whoop."
** For that matter, Jackie's "yang" side, as brought out by the Tiger Talisman. Well, [[Badass Decay|in later episodes, anyway]]. In his first appearance, he was stealing and beating the crap out of people just for kicks and giggles. But as seasons went by, his actions became swayed by whether or not a small child thought he looked "cool." [[Fridge Brilliance|Which makes sense considering his unpredictable nature.]]
