Tastes Like Diabetes: Difference between revisions

== Comics ==

* [[Deadpool]] [[Lampshade Hanging|Hangs A Lampshade]] on this when reminiscing about {{spoiler|his ex-wife}}: "...all this 'I love you snookie pie' and 'you too honey lips face head mush mush'...go into diabetic shock just walking by the place."

** Which leads to fans thinking she's cuter in her [[Ugly Cute|true form]].

* Lampshaded in Mark Waid's Empire with the line "I need insulin listening to you!"

'''Wayne''': Yeah. }}

* Parodied in the [[Marx Brothers]] film ''Horse Feathers''. Thelma Todd's character is going out with Groucho, in an attempt to steal some football signals for a rival college. She adopts an extremely cutesy and high pitched voice and says "If Big-Strong-Man don't let Icky-Baby see the football signals, Icky-Baby gonna cry!". To which Groucho somehow manages an ''even more'' cloying voice and responds "If Icky-Girl don't stop talking like that, Big-Strong-Man gonna [[Crowning Moment of Funny|kick all her teeth right down her throat]]!"

* Parodied and lampshaded in ''[[The Naked Gun|The Naked Gun: 33 1/3 - The Final Insult]]'', when Frank and his wife are in a marriage counseling session, they devolve into baby-talking pet names, at which point the therapist states "Mr. and Mrs. Drebin, please - I'm a diabetic."

* ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'': Mei, the 4-year-old girl who would often repeat the last thing her older sister Satsuki says.

** Planet Cute returns in fellow [[Cosgrove Hall]] production ''[[Avenger Penguins]]'', where it is villain Caractacus P. Doom's worst nightmare.

* Certain scenes of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. Specifically, anything involving [[Genki Girl|Pinkie Pie]], [[Shrinking Violet|Fluttershy]], or [[Kid Appeal Character|Apple Bloom]]. The show does like to play with this trope: Fluttershy's bashfulness is a source of much humor on the show, while Apple Bloom's cuteness is counterbalanced by her forceful and outgoing personality, as seen in her overbearing sales pitch for the family apple stand in "Call of the Cutie". Meanwhile, [[Cloudcuckoolander|Pinkie]]... is [[Crazy Awesome|different]].

** The trope is subverted from the very first with the [[Title Sequence]] that initially begins with the usually treacly melody, until it explodes into a rock tune following the sequence's fast cutting making it clear that this incarnation is under new management.

* The later seasons of ''[[Rugrats]]'', particularly the ones with Dil and Kimi.
