* Oscar the Grouch from ''[[Sesame Street]]'' lives in a garbage can.
* ''[[Callan]]'' had Lonely, so called because he never took a bath. As well as being the best informer in London, he made great coffee.
* Baldrick, the increasingly [[Bumbling Sidekick]] from ''[[Blackadder]]'', who got progressively filthier as each season went
** His Georgian ancestor is so disgusting that the ancient Greeks simply mistook Pandora's Box for his trousers, which he has never changed. He admits that, "They can get a bit whiffy!" In ''Blackadder Back and Forth'' his underwear is responible for wiping out the dinosaurs.
** One episode of ''Blackadder II'' features an especially unclean named Mr. Ploppy, leading to this exchange:
