** The Ice King was a ParentalSubstitute to [[IntergenerationalFriendship Marceline the Vampire Queen]] hundreds of years ago. While he has since gone completely insane and no longer remembers their history, he still cares about her and she's the only character he has genuine qualms with injuring in any way.

** Very often Finn is a slightly {{downplayed|Trope}} version of this trope towards Jake. On several occasions, Jake would do some really questionable, sometimes despicable, or just really boneheaded things when left to his own devices -- includes stealing, being randomly mean to people and bragging about his misdemeanors -- and only stops being a jerk when Finn reasons with him.

* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'': Mr. Herriman has Madame Foster, his creator, he's normally no nonsense and uptight with pretty much everyone else in the house, including her granddaughter Frankie, but he truly loves Madame Foster (especially when you consider she never abandoned him after she grew up). He's even willing to perform the incredibly embarrassing "Funny Bunny" song for her.

* ''WesternAnimation/WorkItOutWombats'': Downplayed as [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Mr. E]] is not an evil character, but [[{{Tsundere}} while he does care for the rest of the Treeborhood, he acts grumpy most of the time]]. The only character he's outwardly and consistently affectionate towards is [[LoveInterest Ellie]]. He'd do anything and everything for Ellie, even if it involves the wombats. Clearly she brings out his soft side.

* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Arnold is this to Oskar. Like the rest of the adults at the boarding house, Oskar has a soft spot for Arnold. However, Oskar Kokoshka is also a colossal liar, moocher, lazy bum, and overall {{Jerkass}}, and it takes something incredibly drastic for him to want to change. In most of his ADayInTheLimelight episodes, it usually happens when [[RageBreakingPoint he finally drives Arnold so high up the wall]], when Arnold is trying to help Oskar be a better person. Oskar usually makes up excuses to Arnold for not working to improve himself or lies to Arnold to get out of work. Arnold loses faith in Oskar and tells him that he's done trying to help him and stomps off, leaving Oskar [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone full of shame]]. Oskar then makes a genuine effort to make it up to Arnold and show that he can improve himself, restore Arnold's faith in him, and show that Oskar does care about Arnold for all his faults.
