Tastes Like Diabetes: Difference between revisions

* Almost everything about ''[[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]]''.

* ''[[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.

* Aqua, a minor villain from ''[[MAR]]'', was so sickenly adorable that she was {{spoiler|''[[Kill the Cutie|killed by one of her own allies]]''.}}

* ''[[Nanatsuiro Drops]]'' is so cute, that just watching 5 seconds of the opening will make your teeth fall out and your eyes pop of SO. MUCH. CUTENESS. Gah

* ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]''. [http://www.nanoda.com/public/wallpapers/honey-senpai-wallpaper-big.jpg Honey-Sempai]. Enough said.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nee-ptoQ4E Oyayubihime Monogatari], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvg6WbZJyiQ its] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hH5HLvzqP0 American] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QoMh0DkXAI counterpart] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCxsu15QAwY EVEN] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5jhFA0lFQU MORE] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDd_6zyJwRQ SO], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIZuDbDI4nc HNNNN][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlDym8EURK8 NNNNNNN][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=221EHekXsQo GGGGGG!]

* ''[[Potemayo]]'', on the surface. Then you get to the ''[[Brokeback Mountain]]'' references, crossdressing and toilet humour (and [[Ho Yay]]) and you begin to wonder [[Widget Series|just what the hell you're watching]].

* Intentionally evoked for parody reasons throughout the ''[[Pretty Sammy]]'' series. Sammy's "Pretty Space" turns the area around her into a diabetic coma inducing place saturated by the color [[The Nostalgia Chick|piiiink]] and with hearts floating everywhere. This gets commented on by the other characters a few times.

* The SuperS season of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' was notorious for this.

* ''[[Serendipity the Pink Dragon]]'' is a sweet story of a boy and his pink, sappy-eyed sea monster. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbSIsDRiuTw Look no further than the theme song.] ''"My, what a wonderful world we'd have if we all could be... loving and caring! Giving and sharing! Like my friend Serendipity!"''

* ''[[Family Circus]]''. almost no one but 6-year-olds and grandmothers actually finds it anything but sickeningly sweet.

* ''[[Rose Is Rose]]''.

** There's also Fa'Lina's [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_590.php slight cynicism towards the traditional happy ending.]

* Tiny Kitten Teeth, especially the Tigerbuttah strips. It's enough cute to make your brain reboot.

* ''[[Homestuck]]'' features the ever so lovable ''Squiddles''! You can even [http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TO&Product_Code=MSPA-SQUIDDLE-PRINT&Category_Code=MSPA-ART buy a poster]!

** An album of its [[Show Within a Show|hypothetical soundtrack]] has also been released, and it's just as sickeningly adorable. {{spoiler|Until you listen to the [[Last-Note Nightmare|final track...]]}}

* The titular giant [[Killer Rabbit]] in ''Big Bunny'' gives his thoughts on the matter:

{{quote|Too many sweet things can make your brains ''sticky'' and '''''unpalatable'''''.}}

* Parodied in the 'Lost Notebook' episode of ''[http://www.atom.com/channel/channel_stickman_exodus/ Stickman Exodus]'', as the notebook is 'borrowed' by its owner's younger sister to doodle in. Thus surrounding the PTSD-suffering stick figures with fluffy, cutesy-talking friendly flowers, bees, teddy bears, and unicorns who join everyone's hands for the ''We're All Friends!'' song. Naturally, once her brother takes it back, [[Grotesque Cute|things go very, very wrong]]...

* [http://www.cuteoverload.com Cute Overload.] [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|That is all.]]

* 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.

** Somewhat ironically, Giggle Pies actually taste of manure when eaten themselves.

* The '[[Disney]] Universe' in ''[[Family Guy]]''. That is, until Mort Goldman the Jew shows up, prompting a reaction to the annoyingly persistant rumor of Walt Disney's anti-semitism.

** [[Word of God]] says that Molly was written that way in ''[[Tale Spin]]'' essentially to offset her mother Rebecca's nagging tendencies towards Baloo, and bring out her softer and often [[Mama Bear|more protective]] sides.

** Even more so Webigail Vanderquack from ''[[DuckTales]]''. Half her appearances were even accompanied by an [[Ear Worm|equally cutesy]] [[Leitmotif]]. And unlike Molly, she ''never'' seemed to be delibarately utilizing the trope.

* We have this line from ''[[Despicable Me]]'':
