Societal norms would seem to suggest that this is the opposite of the (Western) ideal man or woman; in reality, many fans find these characters appealing: rather than an over-the-top caricature, these characters are enjoyable and relatable because they're ''not'' [[MenAreStrongWomenArePretty absurd supermen or unattainable supermodels]]. However, a hardened or attractive character can still be seen as Adorkable by the audience if they display traits like shyness or awkwardness underneath their exterior.

** When Ruby first arrives in Beacon, she gushes so much over all the new weapons she can see other students carrying that she briefly turns into a cute, floating chibi version of herself with stars for eyes. When Yang later suggests she make her own friends, she begins hugging and caressing her weapon like it's a kitten. Ruby is obsessed with weapons and admits she went overboard when designing her own because of this. She therefore tends to become very nerdy in a very cute, excitable way whenever she has a chance to wax lyrical about them.
** Jaune is introduced as someone who is full of optimism and wants to make friends and meet cool, quirky girls to talk to, but he also becomes clumsy and over-eager when talking to such girls. While Yang was turned off by him wearing onesie pyjamas, the sheer pride with which he poses in such an embarrassing outfit, when he spots Yang looking at him, made him very endearing to fans.

* Adorkable/WebOriginal


Added DiffLines:

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* ''WebAnimation/{{Anon|Machinima}}'': While Connor still has that occasional Martinez roughness to him, he's an adorable, socially awkward and ditzy teenager who gets all the fans "aww"ing in the comments from his goofy one-liners and airhead moments.
* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': Moxxie is a bit clumsy at times, has [[YouthfulFreckles freckles]] and is a cute gentleman to his wife, Millie. Taken further when he gets drunk in Episode three, flopping around in a giggly stupor all while being even more blatantly loving towards his wife.
* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'':
** Homestar may be a so-called "terrific athlete", but his klutziness and not-so-bright personality has earned him several adorkable moments.
** Strong Bad has had dorky moments, namely when geeking out over movies, TV shows, video games or his favorite band Limozeen.
** Marzipan is adorable and dorky when she obsessively gushes over a sandwich Homestar makes her, saying it's too cute to eat, much to Homestar's annoyance.
** Strong Sad often has his moments of being adorkable, especially when he's talking about his favorite things like art, literature and poetry. The fact that he often [[ButtMonkey gets looked down upon]] by the other characters, [[BigBrotherBully particularly his older brothers]], and his gentle voice (when he's not being whiny) also adds to it. He's also very cute when he smiles.
* Youtuber Joseph ''WebAnimation/JoCat'' Catallanello certainly fits this category. A freckled and bespeckled nerd who just happens to be the most precious geek on the internet, considering his genuine and wholesome personality (unless, of course, he's playing Jocrap).
* Skout from ''WebAnimation/NomadOfNowhere'' is the naive, awkward, and book smart team member of the team, who speaks with cute Dixie accent.
* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'':
** Simmons. He's a nervous nerd who is willing to do almost anything for positive approval.
** Freelancer York. He's a BadLiar, socially awkward, a bit of a ButtMonkey, and unusually [[NiceGuy nice and funny]] for a Freelancer--and he has [[VitriolicBestBuds adorably snarky friendship]] with Delta.
** Freelancer Washington. He's a WideEyedIdealist, friendly, well-meaning but socially inept, and almost painfully straitlaced and bewildered by anything that's not by-the-book. [[BreakTheCutie And then the Epsilon incident happened]].
* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
** When Ruby first arrives in Beacon, she gushes so much over all the new weapons she can see other students carrying that she briefly turns into a cute, floating chibi version of herself with stars for eyes. When Yang later suggests she make her own friends, she begins hugging and caressing her weapon like it's a kitten. Ruby is obsessed with weapons and admits she went overboard when designing her own because of this. She therefore tends to become very nerdy in a very cute, excitable way whenever she has a chance to wax lyrical about them.
** Jaune is introduced as someone who is full of optimism and wants to make friends and meet cool, quirky girls to talk to, but he also becomes clumsy and over-eager when talking to such girls. While Yang was turned off by him wearing onesie pyjamas, the sheer pride with which he poses in such an embarrassing outfit, when he spots Yang looking at him, made him very endearing to fans.
** Velvet is a shy, unassuming rabbit Faunus who is an amateur photographer with a strong engineering aptitude. She is always excited to show off her photography to anyone she can, even though most characters think she's bad at it because they don't realise she's photographing weapons instead of people. She also tends to become embarrassed when catching people off-guard when taking photographs, leading to her apologising in a cute and flustered way. Because she has a weapon that has to be used sparingly, she rarely gets to use it in battle and becomes extremely excited whenever given the chance. In the novels, her engineering abilities are explored further, showing that she can be an absolute geek when she's given the opportunity to start talking about the inner workings of her weapon. While it doesn't always impress the characters around her, it helped endear her to the fandom.
** Penny is a RobotGirl who is extremely cheerful and optimistic, but occasionally hits the wrong social note in an wacky and endearing ways. When she first meets Team RWBY and gets knocked to the ground, she starts greeting them while lying on the ground until they ask her if she's okay. She becomes extremely excited, and latches onto Ruby like a lost puppy, when Ruby calls her "friend" and, during the school ball, she doesn't waltz like the other students, she performs the robot dance in a very gentle, tentative way. As her robotic nature was originally a secret, when she accidentally gets a magnet stuck to her head, she tries wearing an excessively large straw hat to hide it which makes her look both cute and silly at the same time.
** Marrow is the youngest and newest member of Ace-Ops. He tries so hard to be as cool as the rest of the team that his attempts to mimic Clover's stern, straight-backed, confident walk, making him look extremely dorky. His attempts to be stern or stand-offish tend to fall apart because of his dog tail, which constantly wags and gives away his true feelings; and when he updates a soldier in the background on Ace-Ops' recent mission, the audience can see him enact the entire fight for them in an extremely enthusiastic, slapstick fashion.
* ''WebAnimation/ShadowsOfThePast'' and it's sister series ''Ain't No Rest for The Wicked'':
** Eieon. Let's check shall we. American Asian,Pacifist,Pop Culture Geek,LARP and it's heavily implied that he "enjoys" furry internet pornography. He's basically like the most relatable guy on the internet.
** Sage as much as he wants you to believe he isn't. He's been shown to be just as geeky as Eieon, according to Eieon when they were teenagers they used to get into hot pop culture debates such as. "Can a lightsaber slash though Captain Americas shield" "Can the Enterprise be converted into a war vessel in times of galactic conflict" "Who shot first Han or Greedo" and "Sherlock Holmes is a hiding time-lord and has a fog watch some where at 221B Baker Street".
** Pyro and Blacksun both being an Expy for Sage and Eieon have the same pop cultured riddled conversations like their originals. But instead of the two arguing about science fiction and video games, these two argue about fantasy and books such as ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' and conversations about, "Gandalf vs. Merlin" "Frodo vs Pre-Hobbit Bilbo" "How the hunter who killed Bambi's mother is the only Disney villain who has flat out murdered a character" and "How Sam was the real hero of The Lord of The Rings and without him Frodo would have died". Both are seen playing The Riddle Game with each other during their off time.

[[folder:Web Videos]]
* Virtual vlogger WebVideo/AmiYamato starts out pretty adorkable, appearing quite awkward in front of a camera in her earliest videos. She becomes more confident and polished over time, but is still a big sci-fi nerd, often cosplaying, attending conventions, and talking about (or inserting herself into) ''Franchise/StarWars'', ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'', the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, ''Franchise/HarryPotter'', ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', and other popular series. Perhaps the epitome of her adorkability is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJTAMK0YDWk Bored in Lockdown]]", where she whiles away her time stuck indoors by making silly noises with her mouth, making tea, going for a rather lonely walk, and finally digging out her old Gameboy to play Tetris.
%% * ''WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow'': While he's usually hammy and manly, Joe's review of ''Film/ManOfSteel'' is something [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34t0QQPlmLs that needs to be seen to be believed.]] Joe even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this at the beginning of the video.
%% --> '''Joe''': Okay, I'm about to geek out on you for 30 minutes here so please forgive me!
%% None of the above explains what makes him a cute dork.
* Jane Eyre in a SettingUpdate webseries adaptation, ''WebVideo/TheAutobiographyOfJaneEyre''. She is cute as a button, though she's played to be not particularly attractive or drop dead gorgeous, as fits the original novel (Jane Eyre constantly describes herself as plain in the book). In her first video, she presents herself as a geeky and nerdy girl who adores her books and is very studious. She also plays with post-it notes and bowls with an orange and empty coke bottles. Adorable and dorky, QED.
%%* Sokka and especially Zuko in ''WebVideo/AvatarTheAbridgedSeries''.
%% * ''WebVideo/TheAwkwardCompilation'''s main three guys: Lester, Kevin, and even Alex. They're terribly nerdy (Alex's idea of a pickup line is "Do you want to go to Anime North with me?"), but you just want to hug them.
* Emily Graslie, the cheery, bespectacled writer and host of ''WebVideo/TheBrainScoop'' with her million watt smile and passion for the sciency goodness at the museum she works at as well as her work for the museum she used to work at. And dear god, her blooper reels from her lectures to the camera! Fair warning, some may {{squick}} at the preparation of museum specimens of earlier installments.
%% * ''Website/ChannelAwesome'':
%% ** ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick'': Nella in all her glorious wo-man childness.
%% ** The winner in the male category is probably Film Brain from ''WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown''.
%% ** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic. Even when he's raging, its so girly and bratty that you just want to pat his head and shut him up with a cookie.
%% ** In ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'', Luke and [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]] are definitely Adorkable in their Literature/HarryPotter costumes.
%% ** ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'': Linkara. Hell, just look at his [[https://web.archive.org/web/20120128145740/http://fetishfuel.wikia.com/wiki/Atop_The_Fourth_Wall his Fetish Fuel page!]] He's practically Adorkable ''incarnate''.
%% ** Related to Channel Awesome fame - Creator/JamesRolfe, a.k.a. WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd.
%% ** Donnie Dupre and Rebecca Stone from WebVideo/DemoReel. They have {{Dark And Troubled Past}}s and very little talent, but they're both well-intentioned and always try and be positive.
%% ** Rachel who is part of The Nostalgia Critic's cast, and she and Malcolm continue to be adorkable specially for [[LargeHam hilarious overacting]].
%% * WebVideo/{{Charlieissocoollike}} ([[https://www.youtube.com/charlieissocoollike Link to the channel]]). Once, she even made a video reading the responses she had received in a survey of teenage girls in an attempt to better understand them. Apparently, many of said girls think about her quite a lot.
* ''WebVideo/ClassicAlice'': Titular character Alice is very cute and upbeat, especially the first eight books. She loves reading, writing, and all things school. Whenever she makes a major life decision, she creates overly elaborate posters and charts (and once even a board game) to help her make the best decision. A lover of charts, organization, and with the dorkiest smile she can muster, Alice coasts through different novels on her videos.
* ''WebVideo/{{Dad}}'': Part of draw of the series is Dad's adorably awkward aping of a normal suburban father with his childlike mannerisms.
* ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'': This is the reason Dr. Horrible is popular. He's quirky with his science-y gadgets and ''his'' evil plans manage to be rather endearing. He crushes on a cute GirlNextDoor and tries to hit on her by meeting her by accident in a laundry room. He's played by Neil Patrick Harris, which helps.
%%* Zack of ''WebVideo/EchoChamber''.
%%** Tom anytime he lets the JerkAss thing go and is honest about how he feels. And Dana anytime she lets go of the snark to be honest has a such an adorably hard time with it.
%%** Gaelyn of season two.
%% * Todd Ferret from ''WebVideo/TheFundayPawpetShow''. Here's a sample of his [[http://todferret.livejournal.com/1839.html livejournal]] CharacterBlog.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/@simonegiertz/videos Simone Giertz]], Queen of Shitty Robots, a woman so adorkable that when vlogger Jenna Marbles gave her a ShoutOut, she responded by building a robotic version of Marbles's dog Kermit. After a brief montage showing how the dog basically couldn't walk straight, stand up or do tricks, she commented [[https://youtu.be/UQ0tutzTWlI?t=0m56s "There you go, this is how I court friends. Good job, Giertz,"]] and patted herself on the back.[[note]]There's the incidental factor of her name: it looks like it's pronounced "Geertz" but it's actually more like "Yetch".[[/note]]
%% * ''WebVideo/TheGuild'':
%% ** Codex
%% ** Zaboo kind of straddles the line between adorkable and just [[StalkerWithACrush creepy]].
%% * ''WebVideo/TheHappyVideoGameNerd'': Derek, especially when he {{squee}}s over the games he reviews.
%% * Cookie Tuesday of ''WebVideo/LearningTown''. Even her name is adorkable.
* Noble from ''WebVideo/LostPause''. His laugh, cackling voice, goofy attitude and happy personality attribute to this. It’s one of his most mentioned traits by his fans.
* ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries'': Lizzie's very lovely and characters find her attractive. However, she can be a bit dorky and nerdish, especially with her costume drama theatre when she makes her vlog. Her younger sister Lydia constantly calls her a nerd and considers her taste in fashion rather poor.
%%* Jay from ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets''. Especially around Jessica. "Documentary on hotels", indeed.
%%* The boys from ''The Midnight Beast'', especially in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWqxo4hDuXk this video]]
%% * WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter: Mr. Enter, whether it be happily praising his favorite shows or showing off his witty sense of humor, he definitely comes off as this.
%%* Creator/Nichole337 on Website/YouTube ''used'' to be this. After the jaw surgery, she TookALevelInJerkass.
* Youtube vlogger WebVideo/JennyNicholson makes videos in which her dorkiness about sci-fi films (the ''Star Wars'' franchise in particular) is at full force, but she also attempts to defuse or talk down the crazier fan theories as politely as she can, while still making a forceful argument. In her viral video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMNFaAUs2mo "Suicide Squad Sales Pitch"]] she wears highly adorkable glasses.
* ''WebVideo/ResidentEvilAbridged'':
** Rebecca is S.T.A.R.S' field medic and their newest recruit. ''The Abridged'' portrays her as being meek and soft-spoken, with occasional lapses of BuffySpeak. Her first scene even has her timidly start to apologize to a zombie, until she realizes it's Chris standing behind her:
-->'''Rebecca''': "Oh gosh! Um, excuse me, Mr. Zombie...? But now's not a good time t-"
-->''(looks over her shoulder and sees it's Chris)''
-->'''Rebecca''': ''(chipperly)'' "Oh! you're alive."
%% ** Leon is depicted as a nasally-voiced and friendly FairCop, who tries and fails to be suave with [[DarkActionGirl Ada Wong]]. He fails in this last category, but does so endearingly.
%% ** Claire is a part-time {{Pollyanna}} who tries to keep everyone positive and [[OohMeAccentsSlipping sometimes]] sounds MinnesotaNice.
%% * ''WebVideo/RosssGameDungeon'': There's something very endearing about Ross discussing games he has played in the past. Shown off to it's fullest in the ''VideoGame/CarnEvil'' episode.
%% * Sexy Nerd feminist from Youtube (most certainly not of the [[StrawFeminist straw]] variety) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpLnPEVl538=channel Sarah Haskins]], who is tomboyishly dorky.
%%% This, despite being very wordy write up, does not explain what makes her a cute dork.

[[ImprobableWeaponUser She also wields a briefcase]] [[BadassAdorable that can instantly knock out anyone.]]
%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperiorStergeon/videos SuperiorStergeon]].
* Wayne at pretty much everything he does in ''WebVideo/{{Vigilant}}''. When he goes on a first date with Rita, he tells her he loves her and calls her "Mom" when he gets nervous. Everything he does is awkward in a likable way.
%% * ''The Webvideo/VlogBrothers'': The sadly departed Esther Earl was one in addition to being a [[DelicateAndSickly teenage cancer patient]] and undeniably a [[TheWoobie woobie]] despite her usually happy attitude. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj96HM9kDTQ This]] video should give you a bit of an idea how she was, though it's a MAJOR TearJerker as well... (R.I.A. Esther.)
* ''WebVideo/WhyNotJanice'' has... Janice. Complete with UsefulNotes/BritishAccents, GenkiGirl, FanGirl overload, LovableCoward antics, and an awkward PluckyGirl persona hiding a StoicWoobie with a desperate need for affection. And British TV series.

His voice can get pretty high whenever he's nervous, he has no problem practicing his EvilLaugh on the air, and he turns out to be a little ticklish.

He likes to emphasise his dorky cuteness in some of his songs, particularly ones like "Hailie's Song", in which he sings about all of them).how much he loves his daughter using [[HollywoodToneDeaf notes that do not exist]]. When clowning around on MTV he tended to tone down his PsychopathicManchild Slim Shady alter-ego by concentrating on Slim's [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon childlike side]], like in the "Just Lose It" Behind The Scenes video where he acts like a slightly contrite grandchild to the old lady who he's about to act out a sexual harassment scene with.



[[folder:Theatre]]
* Evelyn from ''Theatre/AnythingGoes''. It's his attempts at using American idioms that really seal him as adorable dork.
%% * Both [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife Princeton]] and [[SpeciesSurname Kate Monster]] from ''Theatre/AvenueQ''.
* ''Theatre/CesareIlCreatoreCheHaDistrutto'' -- though not a lot of readers of [[Manga/CesareIlCreatoreCheHaDistrutto the manga]] seem to like [[TheWatson main character]] Angelo, both Creator/TaikiYamazaki and Ryotaro Akazawa gave their portrayals of him this quality in the musical, and made him extremely lovable. Yamazaki, in particular, is tall (almost the tallest in the cast) and awkwardly moves as if to not stand out so much. This works well with Angelo's role in the story -- a commoner ScholarshipStudent who's intelligent and [[TallPoppySyndrome joins in debates even against his social superiors]] Cesare Borgia (who doesn't try to cut Angelo down, and appreciates his honesty all along) and Giovanni de'Medici (whose bullying towards Angelo is toned down from the manga, but who also comes to appreciate him after CharacterDevelopment). (Cesare and Giovanni are both played by shorter actors).
