* Almost everything about ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', from the openings, to the way all types of love are presented as wholesome and pure, and obviously the [[Moe|title character herself]].
* The entirety, and especially the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq33dzbO840 opening sequence] of ''[[Chi's Sweet Home (Manga)|Chi's Sweet Home]]''.
* [[Bratty Half
* ''[[Excel Saga (Anime)|Excel Saga]]'' with the Puchus, which are more like parodies of this trope, given the fact that when they are initially presented as being evil, and become considerably less cute when hit.
** They're also paralyzingly cute in-universe, with Nabeshin and Space Butler unable to resist the cuteness when they're trying to escape a Puchuu spaceship.
Line 131:
** Even her name tastes like diabetes.
* Cicely Mary Barker's ''[[Flower Fairies]]'' [http://www.flowerfairies.com/home.html\] certainly counts.
* Jeff Koons embodies this trope from his [http://arthistory.about.com/od/from_exhibitions/ig/lacma_bmca_08/broad_inaugural_12.htm golden statue of Michael Jackson and pet monkey Bubbles] to a [
Line 228:
* Semi-parodied among [[The Muppets]] with Bean Bunny. The Muppet that Henson Studios learned to love to hate.
** [[Your Mileage May Vary]], but the 1981 episode of ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' with Linda Ronstadt was arguably a low point. No offense to any Ronstadt fans out there, but she wasn't really the best choice for a guest host. After so many high-spirited and even brassy celebrities who could at the very least hold their own alongside the Muppets - Peter Sellers, Dom DeLuise, Raquel Welch, even Rudolf Nureyev for goodness's sakes (and when [[Russian Guy Suffers Most|a]] ''[[Russian Guy Suffers Most|Russian]]'' [[Russian Guy Suffers Most|can appear jollier than you]]!) - Ronstadt just seems so quiet and demure (and, with that idiotic little grin, like a [[Stepford Smiler]]) that she winds up dragging down the entire show. The Muppets try their best to compensate with their trademark subversive and even ghoulish humor, and Linda's first number, Roy Orbison's "Blue Bayou", is fine (although she performs it in [[Fetish Retardant|nineteenth-century "granny" underwear]] [[WTH Costuming Department|for some odd reason]]), but the finale, with her singing "When I Grow Too Old To Dream", is just too sentimentalized and pathetic to make anyone feel good, made all the worse by resident [[Jerkass]] Rizzo the Rat actually ''shedding tears'' as he listens to the song. But perhaps the worst part is that (''[[Muppets Tonight]]'' and the odd special notwithstanding) [[Downer Ending|this was one of the last episodes the Muppets ever did on network TV]].

** And another of her songs, ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUOcSoHBcJA Mother]''.
* Doubling as an [[Ear Worm]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSvOowL7rkU Moji Pittan.] Even more so if you understand the lyrics. It's a lot better with the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rle2zmmMzS0 Angry German Kid] treatment.
* [[Michael Jackson]] could be ''awful'' about this when he was trying to be heartwarming and/or tearjerking: "Someone in the Dark", "Gone Too Soon", "Heal the World", "Childhood", and "The Lost Children" (the first is from the ''[[
** Don't forget "Will You Be There", in which he delivers a maudlin, sobbing monologue.
* Dear Lord, [[Justin Bieber (Music)|Justin Bieber]]. Only ''he'' can make a 16 year old male sound and look like a 10 year old girl. Pairing him with rappers only makes it worse.
