* ''Daria'', while she's not shy, she's unpopular due to her passive, anti-social and [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] attitude and it somehow makes her more relatable and endearing as a character despite her emotionless personality.

* Zuko from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', in season 3. His {{Fan Nickname}}s are "Zudork", "Dorko", and "Failko", and that pretty much encapsulates his attempts at being normal. Poor guy ''really'' {{Cannot Tell a Joke}}.
** It's rather funny and odd because he spends most of the time being a no-nonsense warrior, WisePrince and [[{{Determinator}} stern persuer]]. But when he's forced to be social, he fails hilariously.

** The professor/archaologist Professor Zei from "The Library." Loves his work with a passion, fanboys over Aang not because he's the Avatar but because he is a "living fossil," tries to communicate with Appa (while hushing Momo), admires Won Shi Tong's "foxy assistants" (actual foxes) for being handsome and clever, and can not understand what is so funny about the term "flying buttresses" because he's too busy being genuinely enthusiastic about architecture. He's also almost a PerpetualSmiler in a non-creepy way. Yeah, he pretty much lives in his own little world.

* Ingrid Giraffe of ''MyGymPartnersAMonkey'' may be the tallest in the class but she's totally shy and tries desperately to fit in with her classmates.
* Max from ''AGoofyMovie'', full stop. It's apparently genetic, since his dad Goofy ''definitely'' qualifies for this. Also, the girl he likes, Roxanne, should be noted. Of course people with the surname '''Goof''' are {{Adorkable}}, but how about the ''smart, pretty, popular girl?'' It really helps people root for her relationship with Max: there's no pity for one and annoyance with the other, 'cause they're both adorable.
* Both Virgil and Richie from ''StaticShock''. Both are Fanboys of comics, superheroes, zombie movies, and video games. Not to mention heavily interested in the sciences.

Uh, so, the thing is I have a lot of Firebending experience and I'm considered to be pretty good at it. Well you've seen me... you know when I was attacking you? Uh, yeah, I guess I should apologize for that, but anyway I'm good now. I mean, I thought I was good before but now I realize I was bad, but anyway...

---> '''Zuko''': (Awkward pause) [[MemeticMutation That's rough, buddy.]]
*** To be fair, what can you honestly say to ''that''?
** He was bloody talking to a frog and acting as if it were actually talking back.
** Zuko's adorkableness actually started in season 2 in Ba Sing Se, particularly his date in ''Tales of Ba Sing Se''. [[http://piandao.org/screencaps/ep35/ep35-1079.png Exhibit A.]]

Not to mention they express their love in [[IUhYouToo very awkward and adorable ways.]] The B-story in "Nightmares and Daydreams" is a good example of this.
** Also the Earth King. who is extremely naive for his age since he was kept in the palace his entire life while EvilChancellor Long Feng took care of politics. He is sometimes even called [[FanNickname "King Adorkable."]] Seriously, his pet bear is much more worldly and mature than he is.
** Meng from "The Fortune Teller" is a female example. A young girl with pigtails that defy gravity and a missing front tooth, who believes Aang is her destined lover solely because of his big ears.
** The professor/archaologist Professor Zei from "The Library." Loves his work with a passion, fanboys over Aang not because he's the Avatar but because he is a "living fossil," tries to communicate with Appa (while hushing Momo), admires Won Shi Tong's "foxy assistants" (actual foxes) for being handsome and clever, and can not understand what is so funny about the term "flying buttresses" because he's too busy being genuinely enthusiastic about architecture. He's also almost a PerpetualSmiler in a non-creepy way. Yeah, he pretty much lives in his own little world.

* Larry of ''[[KaBlam Life with Loopy]]''. He's sweet, shy, and a bit nerdy.
** Sniz and Fondue. Comic book obsessed buddies...who are [[CartoonCreature ferrets (or cats!)]]
** Henry borders into this depending on the episode.
** June in the first season. For the rest of the show, the "dork" part was removed but she remained cute as a button.
* Jérémie from ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko''. He's got a 99.87 grade average and ungodly computer programming skills, and has worked tirelessly for two years to give Aelita a normal, stable life. So that makes him a colossal nerd, an angel of a love interest, and just downright adorable physically.

* Butters from ''SouthPark''.
** Kyle can also be this when he's not busy going on adventures with his friends or trying to thwart Cartman's evil plans.
* Phillip J. Fry from ''{{Futurama}}''. Mostly due to his childish nature and his [[CloudCuckoolander kooky mannerisms]], and he's a [[StarTrek Trekkie]].
* Ron Stoppable, ''{{Kim Possible}}'''s best friend/boyfriend, is a huge dork, but his loyalty to Kim and his unabashed optimism make him adorable.
* Jimmy Olsen from ''SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' has been seen as this.

** Tucker Foley definetly counts, being the nerdy one.
* Rocky Ballantine from ''BatmanMysteryOfTheBatwoman'' is a female example. Look no further than her mention in DiggingYourselfDeeper.
* Shifty Dingo from BlinkyBill who also doubles as a ShrinkingViolet, LovableCoward and TheKlutz.
* Humphrey, Shakey and Salty from AlphaAndOmega.
* [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Ben Tennyson]] at times. Kevin, more rarely. Cooper definitely counts; even after he's had a growth spurt he's still a sweet kid with a crush on Gwen.
* [[TheMightyB Bessie Higgenbottom]]
* Twilight Sparkle, of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. She's essentially a former shut-in who's just learning how to maintain friendships. Despite this she can still spend days cooped up in her home reading books, and has evinced a tendency toward SuperOCD that [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero borders on the scary]]. It's on full display when we see [[http://www.ponibooru.org/post/view/93908?search=dancing her dancing skills (or lack thereof)]] at her birthday party in Canterlot, and she takes it UpToEleven when she was a filly, in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles".
** The Fandom expands on filly Twilights [[PerfectlyCromulentWord Adorkability]], with fanart often depicting her love of books from an early age. [[http://bronibooru.mlponies.com/post/show/11891/book-book_fort-comic-filly-twilight_sparkle-valcro Her hiding in 'book forts' is rather common, and absolutely adorkable.]]
** There's also Twist, Apple Bloom's nerdy friend with the huge glasses and strangely endearing lisp.
** With the release of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E4LunaEclipsed Luna Eclipsed]]", Princess Luna qualifies for this easily, especially with her use of FloweryElizabethanEnglish and some of her other phrases.

* The title character of ''PepperAnn''
* Tootie, Cosmo, Timmy, and (sometimes) Wanda in ''TheFairlyOddparents''
* Gus from ''{{Recess}}'' is a shy cutie who doubles as TheWoobie
** Gretchen's pretty adorkable as well. Doesn't hurt that she's a cute nerdy girl.
** Mikey's naivety mixed with his LargeHam tendencies make him this.
** The Pale Kids- a group of nerdy ten year olds who spend their recesses playing [[BlandNameProduct Daggers & Dragons]] and reading comic books.
** Miss Grotke has many cute, dorky moments throughout the series. It's her over-enthusiasm about everything that really hits it.
** Heck, T.J. can be pretty adorkable. His ditzy BookDumb moments, his overly enthusiastic and optimistic nature, not to mention that he's got an enormous heart. And he was a ShrinkingViolet in kindergarten!
*** And he's been revealed to be a huge geek when it comes to comics.
* Both Pi and Harvey from ''SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries''.
* Both Scott and Kurt in XMenEvolution have shades of this. Scott especially in the episode ''Power Surge'', where he can't seem to move without tripping, hurting, or humiliating himself. For Kurt, there's his playful nature, adorable elf ears, and constant joking, as well as his tendency to make Sci-Fi references with Scott when the two are doing something.
--> '''Scott''': ''Teleporter to Maximum, Mr Wagner.''
--> '''Kurt''': Aye Captain!
--> '''Scott''': ENGAGE! *Both teleport out of scene.*
* Thor in ''WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'', especially when he is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9sqihQZDk0#t=4m36s interacting with Jane.]]
** Most of the science types are your classic hot badass types... then you have Hank Pym, who will geekily squee about the science-influenced powers of a guy ''trying to kill him''.
** On the female side of things, there's Wasp, who also happens to be Hank's wife. Seriously, she's d'awwww-worthy in most of her scenes.
* Jackie Chan's [[WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures animated incarnation]] is a combination of this and BadassNormal. Well, what else would you expect from JackieChan?
* Steve Smith from ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad''.
* Glasses? Bowtie? Complete nerd? Let's see... [[WordGirl Tobey McCalister]], anyone?
* Mikey Simon from ''KappaMikey''.
* Jake, the adorable, messy CloudCuckoolander fox cub from BabarAndTheAdventuresOfBadou.
* Eliza from ''TheWildThornberrys''.
* Roba from ''TheProblemSolverz''.
* Tino from ''TheWeekenders''
* Velma and Shaggy from ''ScoobyDoo''.
** Scooby adores Velma in APupNamedScoobyDoo. And who couldn't? She's smart, quiet-spoken, and sweet as all get out.
* Eileen from ''RegularShow''.
* Chuckie Finster from ''{{Rugrats}}''.
** Which he apparently inherits from his dad, who's also this trope.
** Stu Pickles
* Lawrence Fletcher from ''PhineasAndFerb''
** Phineas and Ferb qualify as well.
** And Candace when she's obsessing over Ducky Momo.
** Also, ''Baljeet''. So. Very. Much.
** Also, Carl, and even Doofenshmirtz during his more-sane moments. There's practically no shortage of cute nerdiness in this show!
* The title character of ''RockosModernLife''
** Filburt can also file under here
* Nonny of the new Nick Jr. show ''BubbleGuppies''.
* Alex of ''TotallySpies''. Also, Clover as well being a major ButtMonkey.
* OggyAndTheCockroaches has Oggy. The [[CampLazlo Slinkman]] in FatCat form.
* Ed the otter from BrandyAndMrWhiskers.
* Dexter from ''DextersLaboratory''.
* Bubbles from ''ThePowerpuffGirls''
** As well as her male counterpart Boomer, of The Rowdyruff Boys
* Both Scaredy and Dave from ScaredySquirrel. Scaredy is a geek with OCD and Dave is a lovably awkward FatIdiot.
* Dexter Douglas from ''{{Freakazoid}}''.
* Socrates from {{Adventures From The Book Of Virtues}}
* Numbuh Two from ''WesternAnimation/{{Codename Kids Next Door}}''
** Numbuh 3 counts as well.
** In his comfort zone as TheLeader of Sector V, Numbuh One is a calm, collected {{Badass}}. Outside of his comfort zone--i.e. during father-son bonding, or in romantic situations--he it a total nerd.
* Otto Osworth from ''TimeSquad''
* Eugene from ''HeyArnold''.
** Phoebe definitely counts.
** Arnold himself has his moments.
* Arguably, Lola Bunny from ''TheLooneyTunesShow''
* Olivia Owl is the thick-glasses, lispy kind on ''WesternAnimation/{{Birdz}}''. She's somewhat like an older version of Twist.
** Plus, her voice actress played [[SailorMoon another certain nerdy girl who's very cute]].
* Chester from ''BeverlyHillsTeens''.
* ''TinyToonAdventures'': Hamton J. Pig.
* Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen from ''TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutron''.
* Lola from ''{{Charlie and Lola}}''. She's eccentric, clumsy, and at times rather annoying - but you just gotta love her.
* ''TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'': Billy and Irwin.
* ''FamilyGuy'': Meg Griffin due to the fact that she looks like a geek (she wears glasses), she's called a "wannabee loser", and because of her ButtMonkey status she's constantly picked on and made fun of. You can't help finding her downright {{Adorkable}}.
** Neil also counts.
** Chris too, in the earlier seasons.
* ''[[TheSimpsons Lisa Simpson]]''.
* ''[[AsToldByGinger Ginger]]'', Dodie, and Macie. Also Hoodsey, Brandon, and even Courtney (at times).
* [[Daria]], while she's not shy, she's unpopular due to her passive, anti-social and [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] attitude and it somehow makes her more relatable and endearing as a character despite her emotionless personality.
* WesternAnimation/YoungJustice has Kid Flash and Miss Martian as the most Adorkable members. Robin gets very adorkable around Zatanna.
* Rolly and Dipstick from ''[[Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians 101 Dalmatians: The Series]]''. Sometimes Cadpig.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} [=ThunderCats (2011)=]]]'' has Tygra, an AlwaysSomeoneBetter [[TheDutifulSon Dutiful Son]] in adulthood, revealed in {{flashback}} as a big-eyed, gawky boy who approaches his junior position on the palace guard with nerdy zeal. Not to mention that the present day Tygra has a [[TheCharmer flirtatious streak]] while his younger self couldn't even form a coherent sentence when he first met Cheetara.
* The title character from SkippyAdventuresInBushtown shows shades of this but Pos the cameraman possum probably fits it even better. In the intro, Pos is shown trying to film Skippy walking towards him but the he trips walking backwards and falls on his butt so Skippy doesn't bump into him. It's only 1 or 2 seconds long and yet it is completely adorable.
* Peter Puppy from the cartoon version of EarthwormJim.
* Antoine in [[Series.SonicTheHedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog]].
* {{Mr Bogus}}
