* Phil and Lil from ''[[Rugrats]]'' loved to play in mud and garbage, and ate worms. They ate anything they could get their hands on. Lil eventually grew out of her habits
* While it was not her most [[Cute Bruiser|notable]] [[Badass|characteristic]], Toph from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' liked to walk around in "a healthy coating of earth," partly because she was an Earthbender, partly to rebel against her posh parents.
* [[Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels|Captain Caveman]] is a big hairy ball of filth.
* ''[[South Park]]'' had Dogpoo, an obvious [[Shout-Out]] to Pig-Pen.
* ''[[Beetlejuice (animation)|Beetlejuice]]'' in his cartoon was especially filthy.
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''
* In ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', Patrick Star picked up the [[Conflict Ball]] when he gained the status of Pig-Pen as a [[Compressed Vice]]. He turned against suddenly scrupulous neat freak Spongebob and they waged a war of cleanliness vs. filth for 11 minutes.▼
** Patrick Star had a few traits of this, though they only become emphasized in later seasons.
** They do a good job of implying that this isn't new, though; in one scene Spongebob removes Patrick's "jacket" only to discover that what has appeared to be his skin ever since the show started is actually ''a uniform layer of caked-on filth half an inch thick''. For Spongebob's part, well, he's an ambulatory kitchen sponge, what did you expect?▼
▲** In
* One episode of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' had Buttercup refusing to take a bath. She got so filthy that the townsfolk chased her with [[Torches and Pitchforks]]. Even the [[Monster of the Week]] refused to fight her. ''That's'' what forced her to clean up.▼

* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' has recurring background character [[Meaningful Name|Harry Pitt]], who actually got his own episode in "Cootie Gras", albeit for somewhat unrelated reasons.
▲**
* ''[[Mucha Lucha]]'' had The Flea, whose special wrestling move was really bad odor. His outfit is actually white, but his lifestyle is so dirty it's become consistently brown all over.
* Russel from ''[[Stickin' Around]]'', who emitted a "funky smell" at all times.
