Line 56:
* 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]]''.
* [[Bratty Half-Pint|Fuko Ibuki]] from ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' when she enters "starfish mode." [https://web.archive.org/web/20111116214604/http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/clubs/3/10949m.jpg This picture] should ring a bell.
* ''[[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 90:
* ''[[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
* The whole purpose behind ''[[Nyanpire: The Animation]]''
* ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]''. [http://www.nanoda.com/public/wallpapers/honey-senpai-wallpaper-big.jpg Honey-Sempai]{{Dead link}}. Enough said.

* Some [[Pokémon]], especially those belonging to the main characters of the [[Pokémon (anime)|anime]]. Granted, some of these start out cute and get progressively...less so, but there are some that stay adorable. Example: Igglybuff, Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff. Even their NAMES are cute!

* Cicely Mary Barker's ''[[Flower Fairies]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20151123100756/http://www.flowerfairies.com/home.html

Line 155:
* The [[John Hughes]] movie ''Baby's Day Out''. Yes, it exists, and it's 99 minutes of Baby Bink giving you diabetes by being just a cute little baby, while [[Butt Monkey|the three kidnappers that have held him for ransom]] get their butts handed to them trying to get him back.
* Isn't [http://www.cdd4ever.com/Backlot03/CDDMSheets/DarlaMS01.gif Darla] from ''[[Cats Don't Dance]]'' just the ''cutest'' thing? Subverted when she's [http://www.cdd4ever.com/Backlot03/ProdArt/sketches/DDimple1.jpg being] [[Enfante Terrible|evil.]]
* This is [[A Christmas Story|Ralphie's]] reaction to Aunt Clara's gift. [
* At the beginning of ''[[Commando (film)|Commando]]'', when [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] plays the daddy of a fourteen year-old Alyssa Milano. They do all kind of sugary things, like playing in the pool, learning karate, and especially feeding a goddamned deer. Get to kicking the villain's ass, already!
* During the film ''[[The Day After Tomorrow]]'', the rescue of the [[Littlest Cancer Patient]].
Line 343:
** Iiti Kitty. During nearly all attacks, they state that it's an adorable monster. For a mummified cat trying to beat you senseless. Iiti is Ancient Egyptian for "Hello".

They were originally just small cartoon animals, but now they're saccharine googly-eyed [[Animesque]] chibi horrors (a wee monkey shouldn't have ''jowls'', darn it!).
** [[It Got Worse]]. You should see what they did to the ''Sims''...
* The entirety of ''[[Twinkle Star Sprites]]'' (a puzzle/shooter/fighting game) is about the same color and sweetness as a pack of Starbursts. Strangely, the game is highly enjoyable nevertheless.
Line 403:
* Vinci from ''[[Vinci and Arty]]''; consult your physician before attempting to read this webcomic. Occasionally [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] as the 24 year old '''male''' raccoon gets confused for a 10 year old boy or ''girl''.
* ''[[Chibi Mikusan]]''. Oh mother of god, the whole of you will be disintegrated at everyone's adorableness there.
* Heavily lampshaded in [https://web.archive.org/web/20110518101104/http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Dragon_Doctors/index.php?p=536182 this] ''[[The Dragon Doctors]]''. Oh, and then the author demanded someone put it on here. So I did.
* [http://xkcd.com/515/ This] ''[[Xkcd]]'' strip starts off appearing as a straight example, before diving into subversion so fast it'll set the air on fire.
* ''[[My Milk Toof]]'' even has a ridiculously adorable title!
Line 413:
** 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...]]}}
