Asian Animation
- Happy Heroes: Of the five Supermen, Careful S. is easily the most popular. Having a more tragic backstory compared to the other Supermen (being formed from the one Jixie Stone that Big M. was able to keep, and therefore constantly used to create monsters throughout Season 1) and being the target of a number of tragic episodes and scenes is likely a reason why, since that makes him a woobie. He and his equally-loved alien friend Kalo got their own mini-season in 2018 called Happy Heroes and the City of Mystery, with the other Supermen relegated to minor roles.
- Motu Patlu: Inspector Chingum has gained the hearts of many with his hammy, over-the-top personality and incompetence. It gets to the point that he got his own self-titled spin-off show in 2018.
- The Simple Samosa episode "Toast Malone" features a 15-second-long appearance from a sugar cube musician named Suga, from the band Ghee-TS. Fans of the original K-pop band the character is referencing quickly noticed, despite his small amount of screen time.
Podcasts
- The Metamor City podcast has Artax, originally created as an expository engine to explain some of the more complex bits of the world's magic in universe, the fans have often cited him as a favorite character over several of the main characters.
- The Engineer from True Capitalist Radio. Many of the trolls who call into the show wish that he would host more than Ghost. Some of the trolls have gained popularity after the show's renaming to True Capitalist Radio. The Internet Buttstalker, Tub Guy, Ghetto Capitalist, Horny the Clown and the Ban All Bronies guy/Btown also are popular trolls.
- Due to the nature of the show, a case could be made that anyone besides Character Narrator Cecil (and maybe his eventual boyfriend, Carlos the Scientist) from Welcome to Night Vale as this. However, the stand-out by far is Tamika Flynn, the brave twelve-year year old girl who led all of Night Vale's children through the dreaded summer reading program, wears a librarian's severed hand as a necklace, and has formed a militia army of children to fight against Strexcorp.Cecil: If station management is listening, I, of course, hope we find Tamika Flynn and bring her home safely. I hope she finds you first, that is.
- Random Assault: Mela Firefly. In a poll on the show's Facebook page for which guest hosts fans want to see again, she was the highest-voted.
- In The Scathing Atheist Podcast, the crew had a regular segment reviewing terrible religious films, where they brought on their friend Eli Bosnick as a guest. Eli's improvised insults towards the characters and the writing brought such high demand from the fans that they made an entirely separate podcast, God Awful Movies. They spread a crowdfunding campaign on Patreon to fund the show and met their goal in two days.
Roleplay
- Survival of the Fittest:
- Rosa Fiametta seems to be one of the most liked characters for v4 so far, alongside being a Launcher of a Thousand Ships. As well Orn "Dutchy" Ayers, a free-loving, comic-reading, foreign very sensitive, Icelandic immigrant, who was held in high regard by many of the handlers before he even appeared for real.
- Jared Clayton of SOTF-TV is also pretty popular, considering that he isn't even a contestant, just a mentor and has had all of one line (not even onscreen!) in the actual game. This is probably due to the in-character twitter the staff maintains for him, featuring snark galore.
- Mr. Kwong, a teacher in v4. It's very unusual for a non-student to get much attention (either in or out of character), but you'd be hard pressed to find a handler that doesn't like him.
