** {{Troll}} Douchey Mcnitpick is still just Creator/DougWalker in a wig, bad glasses, unflattering shirt, and a constant scowl. If he smiled, cut his hair and wore nicer clothes he would be pretty cute. ([[{{Jerkass}} Then he starts talking]].)

[[caption-width-right:321: AAAAGH! She's... [[Creator/AmericaFerrera hideous]]?]]

* Yung Hee from ''WesternAnimation/MikeTysonMysteries'' is an {{expy}} of Velma, so she's naturally prone to thos treatment as well. She's often mistaken for a boy as well.

** ''VideoGame/Persona3'': The [[FranchiseOriginalSin infamous scene]] at the end of the BeachEpisode, where Junpei, Akihiko and the Protagonist talk to an older women who's drop-dead ''beautiful''... [[UnsettlingGenderReveal and the guys discover soon afterwards she trans]] based on [[{{Profiling}} her slight facial hair]], and [[ValuesDissonance run off with the moment being played for gross-out factor]]. This was a game, needless to say, that was from the UsefulNotes/TurnOfTheMillennium, sadly. Which is all the more baffling, because she is downright ''[[https://i.imgur.com/MPxp2rG.png gorgeous]]'', and it makes a lot of the transphobic joke outright unfair given how downright beautiful she looks.

* Bob Belcher of ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' is frequently referred to as being particularly fat and/or unattractive, but due to the show's art style he doesn't look any more so than the other characters.

** Philip J. Fry is said to be an ugly loser when he's average looking at worst.
* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Helga describes herself as not being the prettiest compared to other girls. She is drawn in a odd comedic style at first. However, she's way better looking than characters such as Harold or Sid who are downright bizarre in appearance. Harold also frequently taunts her on her looks and calls her ugly. Her worrying over her looks is partially what stops her from confessing her feelings to her crush Arnold. However, when she gets a proper makeover she looks gorgeous. It also helps that [[ProgressivelyPrettier that she's gotten cuter as the animation improved]].

** {{Sidekick}} Ron Stoppable was supposed to appear as a buffoon type of character, but he ended up appearing cute to the viewers.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' Bolin (especially in Season 1) is clearly supposed to be more homely and buffoonish compared to his TallDarkAndHandsome older brother Mako whom titular heroine choses over him, but the {{Irony}} is Bolin succeeds in being a massive {{Hunk}} to women InUniverse and out while Mako becomes very polarizing thanks to his treatment of his girlfriends. So the show's attempts to diminish Bolin backfire hard, and make Korra look shallow for breaking his heart.

** ''VideoGame/Persona3'': The [[FranchiseOriginalSin infamous scene]] at the end of the BeachEpisode, where Junpei, Akihiko and the Protagonist talk to an older women who's drop-dead ''gorgeous''... [[UnsettlingGenderReveal and the guys discover soon afterwards she trans]] based on her slight facial hair, and [[ValuesDissonance run off with the moment being played for gross-out factor]].

* In ''VideoGame/Persona4'', a lot of people casually dismiss Chie, especially since she spends so much time around YamatoNadeshiko-in-training Yukiko. In the AnimatedAdaptation, even [[TheStoic Yu]] nearly chokes in surprise when he finds out Kou has a crush on Chie. At worst Chie suffers from GenericCuteness, her TomBoy nature, a BoyishShortHair cut and a casual disregard for her appearance.
** It's worth noting that Chie was ''intentionally'' [[InvokedTrope designed with the trope in mind]]. Her more realistic attractiveness was meant to contrast with the idol Rise and the traditional ideal Yukiko.
** Ironically Chie [[SheCleansUpNicely does look beautiful when she dolls up]] for the New Years' date and in the Japanese Character Poll ''she actually beats out Yukiko and Rise in popularity!'' Western Polls are more decisive, with the ironically even more boyish Naoto surpassing Chie in popularity.
