10Examples in WesternAnimation for MrFanservice.
11----
12* Henry on ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingChanAndTheChanClan'', in a way. He's dressed very conservatively (except in the comic version of Episode 3), but his [[FemaleGaze pants are rather tight]] and he's drawn as being the "hunk" of the boys. Plus there's his voice.
13* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': Jayce has a fairly long WalkingShirtlessScene while working in the forge, showing off his sweaty and very muscular body.
14* The eponymous [[Characters/ArcherSterlingArcher Sterling Archer]] on ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' is a secret agent and unabashed man-whore who spends half his on-screen time in various states of undress, usually only hiding his privates. [[ItMakesSenseInContext One episode has Lana and Archer in a firefight while in their underwear]], and just as much attention is paid to Archer's ass jiggling from the weapon recoil as is paid to Lana's breasts for the same reason. He has no problem getting women to want to sleep with him, even if he doesn't want to sleep with them (this rarely happens), and has even made two men fall in love with him as well.
15* ''[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' has [[Characters/AvatarTheLastAirbenderZuko Prince Zuko]], despite the huge burn scar on his face. Though he may not have been intended as such at first, the creators quickly caught on and lampshaded the hell out of his MrFanservice status in the second and third seasons.
16* [[Characters/DCAUTerryMcGinnis Terry McGinnis]], Batman's successor, in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''. Similarly to Ulrich below, he's a supreme PrettyBoy (and equal parts {{Hunk}}), is TroubledButCute and gets ''quite'' a few {{Shirtless Scene}}s. If the writers were trying to get more female viewers, it worked.
17* Kevin from ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce''. His clothes are regularly [[ClothingDamage torn and tattered in fights]].
18** Let's not forget [[Characters/Ben10BenTennyson Ben Tennyson]], he's just as good-looking as Kevin if not moreso and gets a couple of [[ShirtlessScene shirtless scenes]] and a truckload of HoYay with Kevin.
19* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'':
20** Ulrich Stern. Let's see...several {{Shirtless Scene}}s, TroubledButCute, BigManOnCampus without even trying, at least two ModestyTowel scenes, SensualSpandex Lyoko form in Season 4, TallDarkAndSnarky...it really is no wonder he's a total ChickMagnet in universe and out.
21** William Dunbar also counts, for the same reasons, except for the ChickMagnet part.
22* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': All of the guys, including Ed, Edd, Eddy, Jimmy, Jonny, Kevin, and Rolf, are this trope due to the amount of HoYay between them as well as the amount of skin they show, which range [[ShirtlessScene shirtless scenes]] to each of them being naked at least once but always [[CensorshipTropes covered by something]] to prevent MaleFrontalNudity. One of the earliest and most notable examples is a bumper commercial, that can be viewed [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D5YozmCJhSg here]], of the three titular characters going SkinnyDipping in a local pond, giving the audience a [[FemaleGaze nice view]] of [[{{Pun}} male backside nudity]], when the Kankers sisters [[GoneSwimmingClothesStolen steal their clothes]] leaving them all naked with nothing to cover themselves but the local foliage or their hands, with said foliage [[ImpliedTrope implying]] that all of them are [[GagPenis well-endowed]].
23* Riot from ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' is pretty much every 80s rock star stereotype combined into one sexy guy. Even in-series his concerts are majority fangirls. He's a dark-skinned, blond, long haired man with an attractive singing voice. Riot pretty much always has an open shirt, showing off his abs, and has several shirtless scenes. Compared to the other men Riot is certainly meant to be eye-candy. He has an absurd ego though.
24* '' WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
25** [[Characters/TheLegendOfKorraMako Mako]], who, unlike Zuko from [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender the prequel series]], seems completely intended to be one from the beginning, as he's actually had more outfit changes than Korra and his scenes normally include a lot of unnecessary [[http://domkorra.tumblr.com/post/21722234335/or-that-one-scene-in-the-revelation-that panning and posturing.]] Even the creators, his bio on the Nickelodeon website and his voice actor make it a point to mention that [[AuthorAppeal Mako is good-looking.]]
26** His brother [[Characters/TheLegendOfKorraBolin Bolin]] doesn't let the side down, either. While his baby face is a matter of taste, he's considerably wider and more muscular than the already peak Mako and spends a good portion of the series shirtless. As an actor, [[InvokedTrope Invoking]] this InUniverse.
27** Ghazan from the [[BombThrowingAnarchists Red Lotus]] group has long hair that flows in the breeze, and is introduced to the show while [[WorkoutFanservice working out shirtless]]. For the majority of the show, he wears a short-sleeved outfit that shows off his arms, but his shirtless state apparently had some impact on the fandom, as much fanart portrays him that way.
28* In contrast to his out of shape bandmates and to his [[ManChild childlike tendencies]], Toki Wartooth from ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' packs huge six-pack abs and toned muscles even with their hedonistic lifestyle. It's especially noticeable whenever the group dips in their hot tub or just clad in a towel, and he was the only one not sunburnt, just got a tan. Then there's the time he pole-danced to earn money for the band.
29* ''WesternAnimation/MortalKombatDefendersOfTheRealm'': Liu Kang, a WalkingShirtlessScene.
30* ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' has a few examples.
31** [[AgentPeacock Raymond]] is a "sporty Casanova" who speaks in a sultry voice and has an elegant hairstyle and an athletic build. Since he's a robot, he's technically naked 90% of the time, and when he does wear clothes, one can expect them to flatter his build very well (such as the [[BarelyThereSwimwear very revealing swimsuit]] he wore in the BeachEpisode.) Add in some flourishing poses, provocative dance moves, and a healthy dose of HomoeroticSubtext with Radicles for good measure.
32** [[{{Hunk}} Laserblast]] had a broad HeroicBuild that he showed off with a tight-fitting outfit and sleeveless shirt. His [[LanternJawOfJustice square jaw]], PermaStubble, and deep, smooth voice (provided by Creator/StevenOgg) certainly didn't hurt, either.
33** [[PrettyBoy Professor Venomous]] has a slender yet muscular build and long, shapely legs that are accentuated with stylish, form-fitting wardrobe and some very provocative poses. His good looks are accentuated by his long hair, [[ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow tasteful eye makeup]], deep voice (also provided by Creator/StevenOgg), and debonair attitude. It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler: Venomous and the aforementioned Laserblast [[TwoAliasesOneCharacter are the same person]], and Laserblast's transformation into Venomous]] is shown through a few rather enticing {{shirtless scene}}s. He’s also endeared himself to the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom (due to his more [[SnakePeople serpentine characteristics]]) and the {{yaoi fan|girl}}s (being canonically bisexual and in a loving same-sex relationship.)
34* ''WesternAnimation/OnyxEquinox'': [[spoiler:Yaotl in his original form]] is very muscular with long hair, only wears a loincloth when he wears anything at all, is first seen at an orgy with both men and women, and even gets a [[MaleFrontalNudity full frontal shot]] in his first scene.
35* The extremely studmuffin-y [[Characters/SamuraiJackJack Jack]] from ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' takes off his clothes or has them [[ClothingDamage tattered and ripped off]] in his many battles more often than is strictly necessary ([[Administrivia/TropesAreTools not that anyone was complaining]]). The trend continues in the fifth season, to the point of being a RunningGag; he keeps finding or stealing clothes only to lose them again either the next episode or ''the same'' episode, and has spent most of his on-screen time in Season 5 running around in a ragged loincloth, [[FanDisservice even when it's explicitly detrimental to him]].[[labelnote:note]]He was wounded pretty badly in Episode 3, and the whole thing is PlayedForDrama up to eleven.[[/labelnote]]
36* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays'', Doyle Blackwell is [[spoiler: Zak's CoolUncle]] who is a mysterious but loving badboy with sarcasm and a jetpack. He is also the only male in existence who can pull of a ginger mullet-mohawk combo.
37** Zak himself grew up into quite the PrettyBoy, according to a crossover episode with ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse''.
38* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': Commander Jack Ransom gets a ShirtlessScene in "Temporal Edict" which shows off his muscular physique.
39* Stork from ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'' appears in his underwear, in a towel, cross-dressed as a woman, and nude in Season 2.
40* Lance from ''WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan'', in-universe and out. Even the ''robot'' noticed. He also has [[WhenHeSmiles a really adorable smile]].
41* Many male and female viewers who aren't part of the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom find the Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles to be hot, their bulging muscles, their acrobatic grace... The fact that they're not just {{Walking Shirtless Scene}}s but also [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal walking pantless scenes]] as well and each one has a unique personality that draws you in. Do you like the dutiful Leonardo? The nerdy Donatello? The Hothead Raphael? Or the {{Keet}} Michelangelo?
42* TOM from ''Creator/{{Toonami}}'' is a very attractive robot with a goddamn sexy chest and legs. Plus [[Creator/SteveBlum his voice]].
43* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
44** Justin has this as his defining trait (and exaggerated to comedic levels), with his label being "The Eye Candy". And with washboard abs, chiselled muscles, and more than enough {{Shirtless Scene}}s to go around, he certainly lives up to his label.
45** Introduced in ''World Tour'' is Justin's SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Alejandro, who combines Justin's impossibly gorgeous body with "the ability to charm the pants off most species" and plenty of shirtless scenes, with one gem in "Sweden Sour" being where he [[BattleStrip rips off his shirt and starts using his entire body to move the boat]]. He even wears a speedo in "Jamaica Me Sweat"!
46** Trent counts, too. Between his smooth voice, cool and friendly demeanour, [[GirlsLikeMusicians musical talents]], and a choice selection of shirtless scenes, he is pretty much meant to be every high school teenage girl's dream guy.
47** Geoff's default outfit [[WalkingShirtlessScene never has his shirt buttoned up]], leaving his chest and abs almost constantly exposed to the viewing world.
48** The spinoff ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'' continues the tradition with Ryan and Jacques. Both buff guys with handsome faces who were shown off for the pleasure of the female and gay/bi male members of the audience. Jacques even spends most of one episode in a speedo.
49* No one guess even mechanical lifeforms also have a attractive example (they don't need to wear a clothes of cause!) , however Optimus Prime (yeah, seriously) in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' really has a unprecedented sexy... well be polite, shape. Just look the main intro and watch his transforms you'll get the point.
50* In ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', Superboy is a much straighter example. Events go out of their way to make sure he loses his shirt somehow, and he plays up many different {{Fanservice}} tropes.
