->''Man, we're so good about not posting a certain onomatopoeia[[hottip:*:HNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!]], and then somebody posts something like [[http://shimmie.katawa-shoujo.com/post/view/828 this]], and [[SayItWithHearts the hearts]] hit the fan.''

* [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]] (who can sometimes induce this herself on fans) gets sent an image of a [[{{Pokemon}} Joltick]] on her [[Blog/ReadingRainbowverse blog]] and reacts this way. Twice.

* And a video actually titles [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQMp5XeVz5g cute overload]].

* In ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'', this can happen to Noel in the story mode, to the point where the Cuteness Proximity of Litchi's panda makes her agree to act as her personal dummy.

* Invoked by a wild Teddiursa in the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' animé, in order to be able to steal food from trainers and pin the blame on the other Pokémon. Once it evolves into [[EverythingsWorseWithBears Ursaring]], the protagonists let it go, under the assumption that its tricks will no longer work. Once it runs into Team Rocket, however, it ''still'' attempts to look cute to ally itself with them. The effort met with confusion by the trio, but they let it join them, anyway, rationalising that such a powerful Pokémon would be a useful asset.

* ''Fanfic/TheHillOfSwords'': When Sylphid hits people with her {{Moe}} even Emiya Shirou, the hardened veteran of countless conflicts who went through seven different kinds of hell ends up being blown away by her cuteness. She once incapacitated an entire room.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' every male character got KO-d by [[TheLordOfTheRings Frodo]]'s illegal amount of cute... the girls seemed immune though. On the other hand nobody (except [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Jareth]] and [[LesMiserables Javert]]) can resist [[{{Cats}} Misto]].

** In it's SpinOff ''Webcomic/GirlsNextDoor'' [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Jareth]] knows fully well that his [[OwlBeDamned owl]] form has this effect on people and [[InvokedTrope takes advantage of it shamelessly]].

* In ''Anime/{{ExcelSaga}}'', the Puuchuus are darling little teddy-bear critters; their main strength is their ability to enchant nearly everyone with their cuteness. Too bad they go severely [[{{Gonk}} Gonk]] when injured ...

** PENGUIN CHIYO. She will cause this reaction to occur in anyone who sees her, except [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Osaka]].

* In the MegaCrossover [[FanFic fan]][[{{Webcomic}} comic]] ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' every male character got KO-d by [[TheLordOfTheRings Frodo]]'s illegal amount of cute... the girls seemed immune though. On the other hand nobody (except [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Jareth]] and [[LesMiserables Javert]]) can resist [[{{Cats}} Misto]].

* In ''{{The Legend of Zelda}}: TwilightPrincess'', Agatha {{squee}}s whenever Link presents her a Golden Bug, despite her not (visibly) doing so when in the presence of bugs he already gave her.

* Bokkun from ''SonicX'' [[spoiler:especially with the addition of his being in love with Cream]].

* ''TheHillOfSwords'': When Sylphid hits people with her {{Moe}} even Emiya Shirou, the hardened veteran of countless conflicts who went through seven different kinds of hell ends up being blown away by her cuteness. She once incapacitated an entire room.

* In one episode of ''The State'', a skit portraying a grandmother taking her grandson clothes-shopping has this happen. As her overly-adorable descendant models his new suit for her, she flips out (borderline orgasmic-like) and asks the merch-worker who she had been chatting with, "Is there anything cuter than that?!?!" The worker proceeds to push her cute-button up to 11, with a step-by-step escalation, adding items to the boy's ensemble such as a bow-tie, puppy-dog earmuffs, and a little piggy-tail. When the grandmother inevitably reaches her threshold and goes violently berserk on her grandson (hey, it was the 90s), the worker and the store manager are forced to lure her into a bear-trap (a room containing an "emergency bear" that rips the lady to shreds off-camera), in order to "save the child". The worker blames himself for her death, while the manager blames the kid and abruptly pimp-slaps him for being "as cute as 2 little hamsters riding around in a little toy car."

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0wEYtmmuFQ Cute Explosion]] by [[WeeblAndBob Mr Weebl]]. NEVER let dogs do science.
* [[{{asdfmovie}} "I'm allergic to adorableness!"]] (hit by a kitten) "Aww." [[spoiler:Cut to a gravestone.]]

* ''QuestionableContent'' has a moment of this that is shown above. It is known as [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1412 "Kawaii-fugue"]]
* Lorenda of ''DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' goes into this shortly when Jyrras and [[DeathbringerTheAdorable Deebs]] both give her PuppyDogEyes [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_373.php here]].

* In {{Girly}}, this manifests in Lucy the veternarian as a [[http://girlyyy.com/go/329 literal explosion of cute]]. [[YourHeadAsplode Lucy's head exploded.]]

* Sakaki of ''AzumangaDaioh'' frequently experiences this with imagined cuteness, often involving cats, ("Kitty paddle..." as in the cat version of dog paddling), Chiyo ("Ribbons..."), or a combination of the two. The sight of her holding her head and jittering occasionally elicits concern from Osaka... or alarm from Kaorin.

** Tomoya gets this way when he spends a day with Mei. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p0ztVSeJEY&feature=related Specifically, when she calls him "onii-chan."]] [[{{Lolicon}} Everyone is concerned.]]
