* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'':

to:

* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'':''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'': A RunningGag in the show seems to be that despite being awful with human women, Johnny has a pretty good track record with animals and monsters.


Added DiffLines:

** There was a female moose named Becky that was placed into Johnny's home by the Wilderness Protection Agency under the guise of them being a married elephant couple. Becky was TOTALLY into him, pouncing upon him and gazing into his eyes, picking him up, doing a lust-take, complete with clasped hooves, wagging tail, and ga-ga eyes, then slurping his face from chin to pompadour with her tongue, afterward gazing at him adoringly. Pretty forward girl. Then again, they had just had an on-the-spot marriage to complete Becky's cover story. Funny enough, she might be the first case of Johnny actually [[DidNotGetTheGirl getting the girl]] since she never gets tired of him and they never actually break up in the episode.
** And in the episode "The Island of Mrs. Morceau", he made a pass at a humanoid female fox.
** When Johnny tries to win a car named "El Toro Guapo," he enters the wrong contest and is now competing to win a bull of the same name. Said bull gets rather intimate towards Johnny and makes sure every other contestant loses so he can have him all for himself. By the end of the episode, there's only a female contestant and Johnny left, and once she tries to make advances on the bull, he declares he prefers Johnny. Then her boyfriend (another bull) shows up and asks why is she "touching" El Toro Guapo. Then, we have this exchange:
--->'''Female Contestant:''' Now that we're alone, Johnny, why don't we know each other better?
--->'''El Toro Guapo:''' Mmmmmm... this is getting interesting.
--->'''Female Contestant:''' Well, let me get comfortable.
** After they finally put to rest their feud in "Loch Ness Johnny", Nessie seems pretty smitten with Johnny. After some initial repulsion, Johnny gives in and tries to convince his mother to let him take Nessie back home to America on a leash, all the while she bats her eyes at him with love hearts around her head.

* ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'': "Money Can Buy Me Love: Stupid is as Cupid Does" features a comeback of the sapient skunk who enjoys tormenting Scudworth known as Skunky-Poo, but adds a different layer to their rivalry by revealing that Skunky-Poo is a woman and that she and Scudworth have repressed feelings for one another. Scudworth even fantasizes about marrying Skunky-Poo, having sex with her and having a child (which turns out to be a bunch of explosives Skunky-Poo uses to mess with him yet again).

* You'd be hard pressed to find anyone on the ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' who isn't doing this, since they're all from [[HumanAliens different planets]] (e.g. Bouncing Boy from Earth and Triplicate Girl from Cargg). About the only aversion were Lightning Lad's parents, who had about three seconds of screen time in the whole series.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'': Gives us Callum, a human, falling in love with Rayla, and elf. Considering that their two races have been at war for centuries, though, no one really seems to have batted an eye at the pair yet. They even joke that the world isn't ready for their love and that their relationship must be kept a secret. There are a couple of instances in an earlier episode (long before Callum and Rayla developed their feelings) in which Soren, another human, seemed to be attracted to Rayla, to which she was unimpressed and nothing really came of it. Another such relationship is implied toward the end of Season 3 between Amaya, Callum's aunt, and another elf named Janai.

* ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'': Interspecies relationships in the Galra Empire are surprisingly common and hybrids make up a notable portion of the Empire’s population. Even the crown prince is a hybrid, born of a relationship between [[BigBad Emperor Zarkon]] and [[spoiler:Haggar/Honerva]], an Altean. The place of half-breeds in Galra society is a controversial grey area; some are perfectly accepting of them, some tolerate their existence but think they shouldn’t be in the military, and some see them as sickening.

** Lance is apparently a big believer in the [[BoldlyComing Captain Kirk school of interspecies relations]]. Unfortunately for him, he’s also a massive CasanovaWannabe and has yet to score with any alien babes, though not for lack of trying.
