* ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats1991'': Most of the [[AdultsAreUseless adults]] are portrayed as more absent-minded than one would expect a parent with an infant to be, but Stu Pickles ranges from "immature adult" during arguments and short feuds with his older brother Drew, to what can only be described as "borderline mentally deficient" at seemingly random times. In "[[Recap/RugratsS3E12CuffedTheBlizzard The Blizzard]]," he runs into the kitchen and screams "Yippee, school's been cancelled!" after a big snowstorm, at which point Chas has to remind him that he's 35-years-old and doesn't have to go to school anymore. In "[[Recap/RugratsS2E2ChuckieVsThePottyTogetherAtLast Chuckie Vs. the Potty]]", he rushes to get Chuckie's potty while Chuckie is in the bathroom -- Didi tells him to "put it down," and Stu puts it down right where he's standing... outside of the bathroom. Even Chuckie probably realizes that the potty doesn't belong in the hallway.

* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Charlie is hundreds or thousands of years old (and even considering her immortality has the physical age of a young adult); she is the only person in Hell who acknowledges that a yearly purge of its citizens is a problem and wants to fix it. She also has a hyperactive, bubbly, and even childish personality, with a lot more enthusiasm than preplanned steps. She presents her plans to Heaven and Hell with pictures drawn in ''crayon'' and communicates her ideas via reality-warping musical numbers. When she's in Heaven to pitch her plans before the Heavenly Court, she acts like a tourist, eager to visit Heaven's petting zoo and try Rainbow Sprinkles on ice cream. When attempting to get the Habin Hotel guests and employees to bond through trust exercises, she eagerly wants to go first, like a kindergartener in show-and-tell.
-->'''Vaggie''': Who wants to go first?\\
'''Charlie''': Ooh! Ooh! [=MeMeMe=]! Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me!

* ''WesternAnimation/MoonbeamCity'': [[CanadaEh Canadian-born]] police officer [[TheRival Rad Cunningham]]. [[PsychopathicManchild So]]. [[NotAllowedToGrowUp Very]]. Much, to the point that it actually becomes weaponized by several characters in multiple episodes in order to resolve the plot.

** Bender is a first-order PsychopathicManchild. {{Justified}} in that [[spoiler:being a robot, he's only 3- to 4-years-old, although fully adult, when the show starts.]]

** Alistair Krei definitely counts as one, though he doesn't show this as often as the other two examples on this list. That being said, he has moments of childishness. He's been caught sucking his thumb on two separate occasions (once in "Seventh Wheel" and once in "Return to Sycorax") and his inner child came bursting out when Fred and Hiro dress Baymax up as Santa for him during "The Present". It's also during this specific episode that it's revealed that he's FOURTY FOUR.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBrothersFlub'' Guapo is old enough to have a job, but he acts like a bratty child who cares a lot more about having fun than being responsible. In one episode he even willingly drinks from a baby bottle.
