16	* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' episode "Clown and Out", the Creator/JerryLewis-like NonIronicClown tries to entertain Wakko on his birthday, but the Warners reject him rather violently, claiming that Wakko has coulrophobia (or, as they put it, [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes 'clownophobia']]). By the end of the episode, the clown is sent to Mars on a rocket, and finds that the Martian children love him.
17	* ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'': Velma herself is popular in Japan, until Daphne's {{Cloudcuckoolander}} quirks supplant her and lead to things like Daphne's face plastered on blimps. In the end, Daphne adapts Velma's traditional style so that the Japanese will revert back to that, allowing Velma to be the cool one somewhere once again.
18	* Within ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}'' episode, "Tokyo Bonkers", Bonkers finds that his former show is still highly considered in Japan, and he becomes a local celebrity. He's even considered quitting the force to return to stardom.
19	* Invoked/discussed on ''WesternAnimation/CelebrityDeathmatch'' by commentator Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin before the Hasselhoff-[[Series/EntertainmentTonight John Tesh]] fight:
20	-->"Tesh does some tinky-tink piano music, and Hasselhoff is a big rock star over in [=Krautland=]. The one thing they have in common is, their music sucks! You've just heard the Fighter Facts, [[CatchPhrase and that's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Cold said so!"]]
21	* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/CloseEnough'' called "Men Rock!", Emily and Bridgette (along with Josh and Candice) visit an Eastern European country ruled by a sexist dictator who is a fan of their music because he thinks that it represents that men are superior to women in his country.
22	* In the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} has considerable popularity in Japan, and was so popular that a chubby little fangirl kicked Stargirl in the shin for badmouthing about Supergirl.
23	* There was an episode of ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' called "Shoo Ed" that lampshaded this, where the Eds train Johnny to be the most annoying person in the world so they can charge the kids to get rid of him. However, Rolf the immigrant kid practically falls in love with him. Even taking his belching in stride: "You are full of pickles and beets today, my friend."
24	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' revealed that when Quagmire was in the service and station in South Korea, he starred in a soap opera called "Winter Summer" as a character named "American Johnny." When he, Peter, Cleveland and Joe go to South Korea to find the last episode of the show (since the show itself never aired outside of that country) twenty years after Winter Summer ended, it's shown that Koreans still remember Quagmire as his character from the show and that he's actually still pretty popular.
25	** Ironically though [[BannedInChina the series itself is banned in South Korea]] due to its vulgar content.
26	* In ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourWorldsGreatestHeroes'', at one point Johnny comments "That's it, I'm moving to Japan. They ''love'' me in Japan."
27	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Histeria}}'' invokes this trope in its theme song with the line "They love it in Bulgaria", which was probably to rhyme with the other lyrics in the song.
28	* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': Kahn Souphanousinphone, Hank Hill's Laotian-American neighbor, is a huge fan of 70s and 80s pop music. One episode, "Pour Some Sugar On Kahn", is all about this as he gets involved in karaoke.
29	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
30	** Spike, Twilight Sparkle's dragon assistant, rarely gets any attention in Ponyville where he and Twilight live. However, in the Crystal Empire, he is revered as a national hero credited with saving the Empire twice (complete with a massive statue of himself holding the Crystal Heart aloft), has the title of "Spike the Brave and Glorious" and can barely walk down the street without being mobbed by adoring fans.
31	** By that same token, Twilight Sparkle herself, in spite of being a Princess and the ruler of Equestria's former protege, is largely treated as if she were a normal pony anywhere within Equestria unless she's acting in an official capacity. Meanwhile, when she visits the distant land of the hippogriffs, Mount Aris, she is treated as genuine royalty, as a result of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 her role in liberating them from the tyranny of the Storm King]].
32	* In ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' episode "From Mumbai to Love", they are revealed to be popular among children in India and this plays in the cats' favor! Jack invited Oggy and Olivia to see the Cricket World Cup taking place there, but the Cockroaches took the tickets so [=DeeDee=] and Marky want to meet the Princess out of their crush on her while Joey wants to steal her diamond necklace. When they succeed in stealing the tickets from them, they told the children what happened and they all helped out tracing the Cockroaches' steps to where they are and they took the tickets back.
33	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' had Rocko and Heffer visiting Paris, France. Their tour group stops for lunch at an "authentic French cuisine" restaurant, which turns out to be a Chokey Chicken (likely parodying the real life international popularity of American fast food chains such as [=KFC=] and [=McDonald's=]). Towards the end of the episode, Heffer looks back on pictures he took of famous Parisian attractions (i.e, the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Arc de Triomphe), all of which have Chokey Chicken restaurants installed in them.
34	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
35	** Lisa Simpson has a ridiculously detailed plan for being a famous jazz musician one day, which includes being ignored in her own country but very popular in France.
36	** "Bart vs. Australia" discussed the American fascination with Australian culture in TheEighties, including such works as ''Film/CrocodileDundee'', and Yahoo Serious' films such as ''Film/YoungEinstein'', the latter prompting Lisa to say [[TakeThat "I know those words, but that sign makes no sense."]]
37	** In "The Otto Show", [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap Spinal Tap]] has an interview in which David St. Hubbins says that "After the Berlin Wall, fell our records started selling on the dismal side of the Iron Curtain, and naturally that gave us a boost."
38	** A deleted scene in "Beyond Blunderdome" had Apu and his brother Sanjay tell Homer that they enjoyed his new ending for the ultra-violent remake of ''Film/MrSmithGoesToWashington'', as violent American films are popular in India.
39	* In the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "[[Recap/SouthParkS3E4Jakovasaurus Jakovasaurus]]", the eponymous animals are forcibly relocated to France when the people of South Park find them too annoying to live, where the French find them to be hilarious and "just like Creator/JerryLewis!"
40	* In the ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' episode, "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E50WhoBoppedBugsBunny Who Bopped Bugs Bunny?]]", [[CaptainErsatz Sappy]] [[WesternAnimation/SidneyTheElephant Stanley]] has become obscure in America, but is still a big star in France.
41	* In ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama World Tour'', Chris tells the contestants that the show is ''huge'' in Japan, but [[SameLanguageDub everyone's voices are dubbed over in English]] and that the show is subtitled in Japanese, because they think their normal voices are just too annoying. In the spinoff ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'', Don mentions that the show is big in Croatia. (As it happens, the real show has never aired in either Croatia nor Japan.)
