History Main / CutenessOverload

* 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 [[BearsAreBadNews 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, rationalizing that such a powerful Pokémon would be a useful asset.

* ''LightNovel/LogHorizon'': Henrietta suffers a Cuteness Overload due to the pajama party, thus GivingUpTheGhost.

* In any ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' game that features [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Bonta-kun]], everyone thinks it's the cutest thing they've ever seen in their lives. This also applies to villains who are pissed off at the fact that they find it cute. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Rau Le Creuset]] in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsJudgment'' and [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsZ Gadlight Meonsam]] are just two examples.

* The heroines in ''Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure'' get this reaction very often when they see Ai-chan.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'', Judy suffers from this when she falls for Finnick's act as Nick's elephant-loving son and later when she discovers that Fru Fru is pregnant and planing on naming her daughter after her. Benjamin Clawhauser, the dorkily cute ZPD front desk officer, also has one of these when he first sees Judy, [[BunniesForCuteness for quite obvious reasons]].

* ''Fanfic/DimensionalLinks'' has Red, who usually elicits CutenessProximity entirely on purpose through his 'cute puppy' impersonation, dial it UpToEleven to outright paralyse Veran ''in the middle of a boss fight''. The other Links are incredulous.

* In one episode of ''Series/TheState'', 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 UpToEleven, 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 two little hamsters riding around in a little toy car."

* [[http://askfluttershyandpinkiepie.tumblr.com/ Ask Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie]]: Fluttershy apparently drew a picture of Pinkie ([[TakeOurWordForIt which we never get to see]]) and shows the party pony. Pinkie collapses with a "HNNNGGG" noise. Bear in mind, this is based on ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and already TastesLikeDiabetes.
** A much earlier Tumblr had the young "Ruby Pinch" dress up as a maid. Any pony who witnesses her passes out immediately.

-->'''Jyrras''': Ack! Quick Deebs! Go to Section D-3 and [[TastesLikeDiabetes get some insulin from the cabinet!]]

* In ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'', [[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2205 Sydney meets a]] [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent Werebunny]].
** And later learns that a teammate is a were-jaguar [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair with pink fur]]. Her {{Squee}} is [[NotHyperbole literally]] [[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2373 ultrasonic]].

** A much earlier Tumblr had the young [[FanNickname Ruby Pinch]] dress up as a maid. Any pony who witnesses her passes out immediately.

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'', Kowalski's machine makes Private's cuteness so powerful, it makes people at the sight of him. Skipper gets the idea to weaponize it.

** Elie, Tio and Noel all come down with this in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesZeroNoKiseki Ao no Kiseki]]'' upon seeing [=KeA=] in her penguin costume.

There is also [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Moebetes moebetes]], a slang term formed from the words {{Moe}} and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes diabetes]], which has similar traits. This is more for anime and/or manga where someone is exposed to such great amounts of moe cuteness that they end up with constantly high moe levels, similar to how a diabetic has high blood sugar.

* ''Anime/HanaukyoMaidTai: La Verite'': Chief security maid Konoe Tsurugi has a soft spot for dogs, and loves to pick them up and cuddle them when no one else is looking.

* In ''FanFic/ATeachersGlory'', Sakura modifies Naruto's sexy jutsu into cute jutsu and ''weaponizes'' it in combat against an older, more experienced genin to make him give her a hug, and knocks him out with pressure points. Even his teammate, who saw her do this, thinks she's like the cute little sister she always wanted.
* In ''FanFic/QuotesBadHairDayRatedRForRetellingOfCaveStory'', nearly every single thing Toroko does evokes this reaction from other nearby characters...naturally since, after all, she is ''[[RidiculouslyCuteCritter the absolute cutest character in the whole damned game.]]''

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'', Judy suffers from this when she falls for Finnick's act as Nick's elephant-loving son and later when she discovers that Fru Fru is pregnant and planing on naming her daughter after her. Benjamin Clawhauser, the {{Adorkable}} ZPD front desk officer, also has one of these when he first sees Judy, [[BunniesForCuteness for quite obvious reasons]].
