* For [[Redwall]], [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|one word:]] '''Dibbuns!''' (Especially in the later books).
* ''[[Harry Potter]]''
** Rowling sends up this trope with [[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Characters|Dolores Umbridge]] in ''Order of the Phoenix'', as she's described as having images of insipid kittens mewling on the walls of her office wherever she works and her voice is described as "high, girlish" and sounding like "poisoned honey", she wears a black hairbow, and in the movie she is seen putting loads of sugar (PINK SUGAR) in her tea (also pink). This is a subversion, because she's actually a [[Sadist Teacher|sadistic,]] [[Complete Monster|evil,]] and downright [[Fantastic Racism|racist]] old hag.
** Beatrix Bloxam, author of the "Toadstool Tales" book series that was banned by the Ministry of Magic because the stories caused nausea and vomiting. One would normally assume this meant the stories were scary, as examplified in [http://spitefire.livejournal.com/21148.html this] fanfic. But in Dumbledore's notes within ''Tales of Beedle the Bard'', it's revealed that the child readers' negative reactions were instead due to Bloxam having re-written Beedle's and others' wizarding fairy tales so that they're sickeningly sweet. "Then the little golden pot danced with delight - hoppitty hoppitty hop! - on its tiny rosy toes! Wee Willykins had cured all the dollies of their poorly tum-tums, and the little pot was so happy that it - " *BARF*
** The fate of Norbert the baby dragon's teddy waaaaay back in book one.
Line 370:
** Sukusuku Hakutaku, a cute and cuddly version of Ex-Keine's hakutaku form whose [[Cat Smile]] is [[Expy|rather reminiscent]] of [[Nyoron Churuya San|Churuya]].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmGYtnJiXVs Goddammit, NO ONE should be allowed to look this happy...]
* ''[[YoshisYoshi's Story]]'' takes place in a cutesy storybook world with baby Yoshis as playable characters making, well, babylike sounds trying to get back the "Super Happy Tree" from Baby Bowser. Unlike the previous ''[[YoshisYoshi's Island]]'', which was for all ages and featured challenging stages, this game with its saccharine world and low difficulty level was obviously targeted towards little kids.
** Low difficulty, sure. Unless you're trying to get through level 6-3, that damn Ghost castle. And since it's targeted towards little kids, the precision timing and tendency of the ghosts to give chase whenever you weren't staring the bastards in the eye, this level can qualify both as That One Level and Nightmare Fuel.
*** 4-2 could also apply because of the Blurps, right?
** ''[[YoshisYoshi's Island]]'', while indeed more difficult, is just as adorable. You're a cute dinosaur, and you have to relay a cute baby across a colorful, crayon-drawn, (mostly) happy island environment to another cute dinosaur. Rinse and repeat until the baby is reunited with its missing twin brother.
* The little mole girls in Moleville from ''[[Super Mario RPG]]''.
** Also from that same game, we have the Mystery Egg. You can buy it from the blue-spotted Toad in Moleville after getting the 5th Star Piece, and it can only be hatched by Peach while she's wearing the B'Tub Ring and using the Egg 10 times. Afterwards, it becomes the Lamb's Lure, in which a cute, chubby, little lamb rolls around, turns an enemy into another lamb, and they fly up into the sky. If you do that 48 times, the Lamb's Lure becomes the Sheep Attack, which summons a bunch of these cute little lambs darting across the screen turning all enemies into even more lambs. If you don't find that cute, then ''get help.''

** In ''[[The Man Called Flintstone]]'', she and Bam-Bam get [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfkgPieX4zY one of the most saccharine musical numbers in history].
{{quote|'''Pebbles:''' I know a way to make wishes come true/Easy as climbin' a tree/Just close your eyes and open your heart/Slowly repeat after me.../Tickle, toddle, nickel-y noddle/Toodle-a bell and a shoe/These are the magical words I say/ when I want a wish to come true}}
* Lila, the "ever so" sickeningly sweet farm-girl from ''[[Hey Arnold!]]!'', and Olga at times.
** Therefore, the episode where Lila becomes Olga's "little sister" as part of a program is absolutely rife with this stuff.
* ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' episode "So Totally Spaced Out", where little cutesy creatures that speak in [[Painful Rhyme]] known as "Giggle Pies" become a huge threat to the cuteness-hating, violence-loving inhabitants of the planet Yugopotamia.
