* ''[[Growing Up Cullen]]'' had entirely too much fun turning [[Twilight (novel)|Edward's]] sexual repression into an inability to deal with any sexual talk whatsoever, no matter with whom, to say nothing of Emmett's fratboy behavior.
* [[YoutubeYouTube Poop]] is all about this. For example, the King from ''[[The Legend of Zelda CDi Games]]'' is always portrayed as an always hungry glutton for dinner solely for saying "I wonder what's for dinner" in ''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon''.
* This trope is one of the few staples of [[The Abridged Series]] in regards to the original shows.
 
Line 133:
* In the book ''[[Coraline (animation)|Coraline]]'', Mr. Bobo simply happens to be Slavic (Russia isn't even mentioned, actually); it's not even implied that he has an accent until Misses Spink and Forcible happen to talk about him near the end of the book. However, the movie makes Bobinsky extremely weird and extremely Russian.
** Even though the flag outside his door is from Montenegro.
* In the very first episodes after ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'' became its own series, after just being one feature of an anthology series, Cosmo turned from being a bit dense and bumbling, but largely intelligent and reliable, to being a complete idiot. To parallel the change, his [[Vocal Evolution|voice]] drastically went from suave and somewhat charming to high-pitched and prone to squealing. Strangely, even that level of idiocy apparently wasn't enough, and the later [[Flanderization]] made him even dumber.
* In the Korean-American flash animation ''[[Pucca]]'', the title character was a naïve pre-teen [[Cute Bruiser]] who wanted to steal kisses from her [[Heroic Mime]] boyfriend Garu. When a TV series was made, Pucca became a selfish and spoiled [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] with a psychotic fixation on Garu, and Garu's [[Girls Have Cooties|cooties]] went from "I like her and she's sweet, but she just doesn't let me train" to a borderline "I HATE THE BITCH I HOPE SHE DIES." Guess the [[Running Gag]] got old after the first episode...
** And such [[Running Gag]] was little more than a [[Gender Flip]] of the classic [[Looney Tunes|Pepe LePew cartoons]], with Pucca playing Pepe and Garu playing Penelope the Pussycat.
