* Sadie Mae Scroggins in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMeetsTheBooBrothers'' to Shaggy. She's clearly not the least bit unattractive, got along with Scrappy pretty well, and defends Shaggy from her [[MySisterIsOffLimits gun-wielding brother]]. Unfortunately, she comes off as too strong for Shaggy and he ends up being just as afraid of her as the ghosts. Sadie grabs Shaggy and kisses him off-camera several times presumably on the lips. Once in some bushes and twice in a barn full of hay.

His constant attempts to marry her only cause her to reject him even more. At first, this is a downplayed example as she was at least patient or civil with him at first, despite how clear it was she wasn't interested in him. It's only when he threatens to have her father committed in the asylum while he was sick does she end up hating him, playing it straight.

* Virtually every woman in the ''Film/DeuceBigalow'' movies.
* ''Film/EastIsEast'' has two young British Pakistani boys attempting to escape arranged marriages to the two hideous daughters of their father's acquaintance (the father is fully aware of how dreadful the girls look, but just wants the boys to settle into a traditional lifestyle and the imam introduced them so it's hard to say no). Meanwhile, their younger brother has a more typical version of this relationship with a neighbour played by a young [[Series/GavinAndStacey Ruth Jones]].

Fat, frumpish Miriam Knight is viciously rejected by various [[WackyFratboyHijinx fratboys]], each of whom gleefully humiliates her for good measure. Following a DeusExMachina car accident, Miriam slims down to a svelte college beauty and [[HilarityEnsues murders]] each of her former tormentors in suitably [[KarmicDeath ironic fashion]].

But once he explains he wants to "get physical," she becomes terrifyingly eager about the whole thing, and he is shown frantically scrubbing himself in the shower afterwards.

As children at the orphanage, the burly, bigger Rasputia saves Norbit from bullies but demands his affections in return.

The catch: he has to marry the Devil's daughter. Who was described by one reviewer as "having fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down". Needless to say, Petey goes out of his way to try to weasel out of his end of the bargain.
* ''Film/PorkysRevenge'': Porky's daughter is a butterface (if I may say so) who jumps Meat's bones, and who then gets her father to force Meat to marry her.
* ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights'':
** Played straight with the witch/cook Latrine. It's also partially inverted, in that the sheriff DOES wind up marrying her... because the alternative was death. He starts questioning his own sanity afterwards, but [[BlackComedyRape she already has him in her clutches.]] Further irony is introduced when she shouts, "I always wanted to marry a cop!" despite most of what she does is in fact, outright illegal, according to period law (see: the original Costner version, or Catholic attitudes towards witches around that time).
** Maid Marian's lady-in-waiting, Brunhilde, is another example of this trope, as she literally throws herself at a panicked Little John.
* NosyNeighbor Amy Nelson is this to Steve Marek in ''Film/ISawWhatYouDid''. She constantly belittles his wife and tells that he needs a woman, not a girl. The dialogue indicates they have had an affair in the past, but Steves seems uninterested in continuing. When Amy discovers that Steve has murdered his wife, she attempts to blackmail him into marrying her.
* In ''Film/TheSearchers'', Martin accidentally marries a homely Comanche woman named T'sala-ta-komal-ta-name (but you can call her "Look"). She's fairly clingy towards her new husband, even if she doesn't deserve the abuse she gets for her behaviour.
* Played with in ''Film/ShallowHal'', in which the title character has been [[HypnoFool hypnotized]] into seeing the "inner beauty" of an obese woman. She's so used to being treated like this that at first she thinks he's mocking her.
* Richard Strickland ''Film/TheShapeOfWater'' [[{{Eagleland}} is the ultimate American father and soldier]]. Also, an abusive bully and sexually attracted to Elisa Esposito, the mute main character, because of a blatant fetish for her condition fueled by his jingoistic, control freak, misogynistic personality. Elisa goes from being scared to being utterly horrified by him.
* Grace Lawrence is ready to divorce her husband, and marry Stanton much to his horror in ''Film/SinTakesAHoliday''.
* Lina Lamont in ''Film/SinginInTheRain'' to Don Lockwood. On the surface, she's a gorgeous movie star who seems to be the farthest thing from an abhorrent admirer -- but Don knows that she's actually a vain, arrogant DumbBlonde who [[VocalDissonance has a voice like fingernails scraping across a chalkboard]], a personality to match it, and an utter refusal to listen to his repeated insistences that they are not and will never be an item.
* ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary'' does the male version with Creator/ChrisElliott's character, since he erupts into grotesque boils when he finally confronts the eponymous Mary. However, as befits the usual gendering of this trope, Chris Elliott's character already has an attractive, entirely subservient wife who does things like spontaneously bake him cookies and give him blowjobs while he watches football. ("Keep your head down, honey!")
* The final scene of a villain in ''Film/TradingPlaces'' has the villain in a gorilla disguise trapped in a cage with an actual gorilla. The gorilla is quite in lust with the villain, whom we finally see in a BSOD. Worse than that: The gorilla is male, and thinks the ''villain'' is a female gorilla. [[BlackComedyRape And then their clueless keepers ship them off to live in the wild together in Africa....]]
* The plump, voracious doorwoman in Creator/MelGibson's ''Film/WhatWomenWant''. Even her thinking about Mel sexually is enough for him to flee in the opposite direction.
* In ''Film/YouthInRevolt'', the girl at Sheeni's French prep school becomes disturbingly attached to Nick after he sends her a few flattering letters ([[ManipulativeBastard to manipulate her]]). Possibly [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] when she starts doodling pictures in her notebook. She appears to depict herself as an [[SelfDeprecation amorphous-octopus-blob... thing]].

* Pictured is Lena Hyena from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', who immediately pursues Eddie Valiant (to his dismay) in her only scene.
* Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' has one of these (after he encountered attractive female admirers) during his song "One Jump Ahead", the one whose line is "Still I think he's rather tasty!"
* Disney previously used it 42 years earlier in ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'', with the wicked stepsisters towards the prince. [[WesternAnimation/CinderellaIIIATwistInTime The third movie]] makes it more prominent with Anastasia, though in a slight subversion she is actually pretty sympathetic and the Prince and King do like her (the Prince just doesn't want to marry her and it turns out she doesn't want to marry him). This was also a conscious choice on the part of the filmmakers, as [[AdaptationalUgliness in the original story, the stepsisters were attractive]].
* Although the squirrel who falls in love with Arthur in ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'' is adorable and innocent, if not somewhat annoying, the elderly fat one that pursues Merlin is rather repulsive.
* Dragon initially qualifies as this for Donkey in ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', but he warms up to her.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad'', from "Literature/TheLegendOfSleepyHollow" segment, there is a gag involving a short, fat woman (Tilda) who wants to dance with either Ichabod or Brom Bones at the Halloween party. The underlying implication is that whichever of them fails to win the lovely Katrina van Tassel will be stuck with Tilda.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'', the hapless minstrel Fflewddur catches the eye of the portly Orwen, one of the witches. As she [[TheGlomp latches onto him and refuses to let go]], she vouches to not turn ''him'' into a frog to be eaten, even asking if she can marry him on the spot. To be fair to her, though, she ''is'' [[HollywoodHomely the most normal-looking of the witches]], though very forward in her attraction to the flustered Fflewddur.
* [[MoleMen Mole]] from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' is this to [[ActionGirl Princess Kida]] during her introductory scene. She immediately punches him in the face after he whispers something to her in French that starts with "voulez vous".
* Hal in ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'' was this towards Roxanne. He was inappropriate and awkward enough with his advances to make Roxanne uncomfortable around him. [[spoiler: This was not helped at all when he gets superpowers.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2'', Ruffnut isn't appreciative of Snotlout and Fishlegs' advances. On the flip side, Eret doesn't appreciate ''her'' advances. She at least warms up to the former two later on.
* In ''WesternAnimation/StrangeMagic'', Dawn becomes this to the Bog King, courtesy of a love potion. Interestingly, she's actually a decent person and not at all unattractive; he's just thoroughly uninterested and she keeps throwing herself at him. The various women his mother tries to pair him with are also this. None of them show up long enough to get a personality, but most of them look inhuman enough to qualify.
* Sadie Mae Scroggins in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMeetsTheBooBrothers'' to Shaggy. She's clearly not the least bit unattractive, got along with Scrappy pretty well, and defends Shaggy from her [[MySisterIsOffLimits gun-wielding brother]]. Unfortunately, she comes off as too strong for Shaggy and he ends up being just as afraid of her as the ghosts. Sadie grabs Shaggy and kisses him off-camera several times presumably on the lips. Once in some bushes and twice in a barn full of hay.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiesInDisguise'': Lovey, Walter's pet pigeon, takes an instant liking to Lance's pigeon form (to his displeasure).
* Idrees, the ill-tempered, violent teenage zealot who joined the Taliban in ''WesternAnimation/TheBreadwinner'' to the eleven-year-old Parvana. He claims she's old enough to marry and [[ArrangedMarriage tries arranging things with her father on the spot.]] [[EveryoneHasStandards Even his fellow Talib is disgusted by this.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'': Belle admits that Gaston is handsome, but she's the only woman in the village who can see past his looks and identify his unappealing personality. His constant attempts to marry her only cause her to reject him even more.
* In ''WesternAnimation/JonnysGoldenQuest'', one of the {{Mooks}} during the crane chase ends up in the arms of an [[HawaiianShirtedTourist overweight female American tourist]] who pretty much instantly falls in love with the guy. Ironically, as a result he's the only one of the construction worker thugs who ''isn't'' caught by the authorities.
