One Scene Wonder / Western Animation

One Scene Wonders in Western Animation.

---

• Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers has plenty of one-episode wonders. Foxglove, the bat from "Good Times, Bat Times", appeared in only this one episode, but she seems to be part of a Fan Fic cast more often than not, she might have more fans than Monterey Jack, and she has even got a website dedicated to her. Tammy, the squirrelmaid from "Adventures in Squirrelsitting", comes in second. There are several more, including the lab rat Sparky from "Does Pavlov Ring a Bell", Gadget's Evil Twin Lahwhinie from "Gadget Goes Hawaiian", and Geegaw Hackwrench (who never even appeared on-screen, apart from a portrait in "To the Rescue" part 3). Unlike the others, Foxglove did go on to make regular appearances in the short-lived 2010 CDRR comic series.
  • Speaking of Chip and Dale, there was one short named "Two Chips and a Miss", in which a character named Clarice fills in the role of Chip and Dale's girlfriend. This was her only appearance, and yet she has a HUGE popularity (even appearing in Disney Parks for some reason), especially in Japan. Who knew that a one appearance character could gain THIS much of a following? (Actually, considering that this is one of many pages on this site dedicated to such characters...)
• The Simpsons rarely lets a well-received minor character stay that way for long, with a vast array of now-popular characters, from Gil to Disco Stu, having started life as quick one-episode gags. Nevertheless, there are still a few popular characters who never went on to anything beyond their first appearance:
  • Hank Scorpio has only had a major role in one episode to date, but is a truly memorable James Bond villain parody who is also an excellent example of an Affably Evil character. Such was his popularity that he was initially considered to be the main villain for The Movie. The plan was canned as the writers didn't want to use a villain from an episode over a decade old. His voice actor (the ever awesome Al Brooks) was kept to voice the final villain, who still shares many quirks worthy of Scorpio.
  • Frank Grimes was only in one episode too — he died. But he's been mentioned many times since, with a Running Gag where Homer forgets that he's dead, and his son (Frank Grimes, Jr.) is a villain in "The Great Louse Detective".
  • The shotgun wielding nurse in the Flying Hellfish episode;
    OUR RESIDENTS-BANG-ARE TRYING-BANG-TO NAP!-BANG
  • The twitchy Gun Nut from the episode where Marge joins the Springfield Police.
    Chief Wiggum: All right, you scrawny beanpoles: becoming a cop is not something that happens overnight. It takes one solid weekend of training to get that badge.
    Gun Nut: Forget about the badge! When do we get the freakin' GUNS?!
    Chief Wiggum: Hey, I told you, you don't get your gun until you tell me your name.
    Gun Nut: I've had it up to HERE with your "RULES"! [walks off]
  • The Very Tall Man, the only original character introduced in "22 Short Films About Springfield" ) who was a caricature of writer Ian Maxtone-Graham, who was also rather tall), who left a rather big impact on it by punishing Nelson for mocking him. His only other appearances have been cameos.
  • Dr. Colossus, the boastful - but easily humbled - Mad Scientist from the second part of "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" His two rather brief scenes were so impressive, he is the Trope Namer for Cartoonish Supervillainy. (Unfortunately, those scenes were cut for syndication, making them hard to see these days.)
  • The "Thursday the 20th" rapper from "Pranksta Rap" appears as a punchline to Skinner wanting to know the exact date the Murder 4 Life concert Bart attended was held. His memorable appearance was the inspiration behind the "IT TIME" meme among the Simpsons Shitposting community, and he made a cameo in a later episode beating up Homer.
  • Hugh Jass, a character who appeared in exactly one scene, is still widely remembered, with at least one listicle calling him "the most fundamentally decent human being ever depicted in fiction."
  • The Sugar Thief, like the Thursday the 20th rapper, provided an incredibly commonly-used Reaction Shot, and despite getting only three lines, two of which are one word long, facilitated one of Homer's best The Cuckoolander Was Right moments.
    Marge: I want you to forget about guarding the stupid sugar! You're being completely paranoid.
    Homer: Oh, am I? Am I really? Ah ha!
    Thief: Hello.
    Homer: All right, pal: where'd you get the sugar for that tea?
    Thief: I nicked it when you let your guard down for that split second, and I'd do it again. Goodbye.
  • Sideshow Raheem, one of Krusty's former second bananas, who only appears in one scene in one episode and says two words.
  Krusty: Uh, the script says I'm supposed to bonk ya with this giant mallet.
  Raheem: (looks down at Krusty) I wouldn't.
  • Simon Stoolowitz, a simple stool that appeared for about 20 seconds on a Sherlock Holmes-meets-Jack the Ripper parody segment on Treehouse of Horror XV:
  "I'm alive! I'm gonna go to America! I'll be in pictures! You'll see! The whole world is gonna know the name Simon Stoolowitz!"
  • "Homie the Clown" gives us the Wealthy Dowager, whose only role is to get a pie thrown in her face by Krusty for a class demonstration. Not only does Krusty throw the pie so hard she gets her head embedded in the wall and apparently dies, it leads to this glorious line from Homer:
    Homer (taking notes): "Kill wealthy dowager."
  • In "Fear of Flying", Guy Incognito appears only for a short gag as Homer's Identical Stranger, which gets him beat up and demonstrates Homer's short attention span. Fans are completely serious in wondering if Guy is Abe Simpson's fourth child and thus another of Homer's half-siblings.
• The inhabitants of the Neutral Planet appear in only one episode of Futurama, but their "neutral humor" was a particular favorite of the fans and producer David X. Cohen. A YouTube video of his "I have no strong feelings one way or the other" line has over 600,000 views, but the likes & dislikes are split exactly 50/50.
  Neutral President: If I don't survive, tell my wife "Hello".
  • "That Guy" (The 80s Guy) only appears in the episode "Future Stock", but is still revered for his '80s style.
  That Guy: There are two kinds of people: sheep and sharks. Anyone who is a sheep is fired. Who is a sheep?
  Dr. Zoidberg: Errr, excuse me...which is the one people like to hug?
  That Guy: Gutsy question. You're a shark. Sharks are winners, and they don't look back because they have no necks. Necks are for sheep.
  • Jonathan Frakes (or rather his bottled head) appears in the Star Trek parody/homage episode just long enough for one line. And yes, it really is Frakes' voice.
    Frakes: Yes! Front row!
• The Greedy, a sentient giant lake of taffy and candies who keeps eating himself, in Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure.
• Michigan J. Frog only appeared in one Looney Tunes cartoon, "One Froggy Evening" yet was popular enough to (for awhile) become the icon of an entire network, The WB.
  • This also applies to other one-episode-wonders from Looney Tunes, such as Pete Puma and Count Bloodcount ("Hocus pocus!" "Abracadbra!"). Many fans are actually surprised to realize they only appeared in one cartoon. Multiple decades of television reruns probably helps.
  • Back Alley Oproar is quite funny with Sylvester keeping Elmer up with his singing, then this guy comes along and steals the show.
  • While the two cats of "A Gruesome Twosome" fight over getting a kiss from a cute girl cat, a dog appears:
  Dog: (to us) Ladies and gentlemen...I don't actually belong in this picture, but I can't pass up a chance like THIS!!! (gives cat a Big Damn Kiss then exits the scene yowling in celebration)
• From The Powerpuff Girls (1998), two words: Rowdyruff Boys. From ONE episode came a raging torrent of fanfics, raging internet debates, and impassioned pleas to Craig McCracken to bring them back, nearly all of them completely missing the point of what the Boys were about. (What they were about: Fight, fight, fight, gross out, fight some more. The Mayor had more depth than that.) And when Craig brought them back, they hardly changed at all! To this day they're some of the most popular PPG supporting characters EVER (even having a dot-net website), despite being essentially just a more powerful and vicious Gangreen Gang. In fact, Craig originally saw the Boys as just one-off characters, but when Season 5 came along, CN asked if they could make more episodes with them.
  • Dick Hardly, a one-shot villain who made literal rip-offs of the girls to sell to cities all over the place, managed to be this. Likely due to being probably one of the worst villains in the show (possibly even worse than Him, who is supposedly the devil himself), which makes him rather easy to remember. Another thing making him stand out is he's the only human in the series to actually be Killed Off for Real.
• In the three seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender, we see Koh the Face Stealer twice. One episode, in the first season, when Aang first travels to the Spirit World, and another time in a flashback during the finale, which reveals a previous Avatar's experience with him. Why do we remember him? Because he's a gigantic centipede trickster spirit who will steal your face and wear it like a mask if you show the slightest twitch of expression. He doesn't kill you. Look at the monkey outside his lair for proof. And technically, he's not even a bad guy. Few monsters have ever been so imaginatively, effortlessly terrifying - it's no wonder fans clamored for more.
  • Let us not forget the Foaming Mouth Guy. He has three nicknames. the aforementioned Foamy Mouth Guy, just Foamy, and Frothers.
  • The cabbage guy is just referred to as...the Cabbage Merchant. He was so wildly popular that in the Sequel Series The Legend of Korra, he (or rather, his descendant) was brought back as the owner of a now big successful Cabbage Corporation. He even gets to say a variation on the famous line - "Not my Cabbage Corp.!"
  • Koizilla (the ocean spirit's One-Winged Angel form) is one of the most memorable scenes, as is the Lion Turtle.
  • WANG FIRE!
  • Fanficcer favorite Song, who appeared exactly once (in "The Cave of Two Lovers"). Her chemistry with Zuko was such that she's pretty much option #3 for Zuko shipping^note  Hetero shipping, anyway... (behind Katara and Mai).
    • Jin from the Breather Episode "Tales of Ba Sing Se" is reasonably popular for similar reasons as Song.
• The Legend of Korra
  • Any time the Gaang (a.k.a the original Team Avatar) show up in flashbacks, or whenever we see an elderly Katara. Sokka in particular who has only one line. There's also adult Aang's appearance as a spirit in the first season finale.
  • Howl, a.k.a. Hot Order of the White Lotus, a guard who only appears ten seconds in the first episode but it was enough for fans to ship him with Korra.
  • Fire Lord Izumi is shockingly popular within the fandom for a character who appears in two scenes and only has about three lines. This is probably largely because she is the daughter of a beloved character from the original series and because the fandom knew about her existence three seasons before she appeared onscreen. Also probably working in her favor is the fact that in the only scene where she speaks, she goes head to head with an extremely unpopular character and quickly establishes herself as a very competent leader. Her popularity is such that she was being shipped with multiple characters before her name was even revealed.
• Ariel, Niko's mentor was such a colorful Cool Old Lady that she's a favorite for Galaxy Rangers fanfic writers, despite showing up in only one episode.
• Invader Zim had Tak, a scary and Crazy Is Cool psychopathic female counterpart to Zim. She only appeared in one episode, but she's hugely popular. The creators had planned to bring her back regularly and feature her as a major antagonist, but the show got cancelled before that could happen, and by the time Zim got a continuation in the form of a comic over a decade later, they had completely lost interest in utilizing the character.
  • The Hobo in "Gaz, Taster of Pork".
    • He would've gotten a co-starring role in a whole episode, if the series continued much further.
  • THE SHADOWHOG from the above episode.
  • And Drill Sergeant 667 in Hobo 13, played by R. Lee Ermey.
    • Scum puddling Squag Doogies!
• Freakazette of Freakazoid!. She only appears in about four seconds of an introductory song, but never in the show. CR rags on the creators for never doing anything with the character after putting her in a spotlight on top of giant letters spelling her name. Yeah, Viewers Are Morons for thinking that she'd actually be in the show, right? ^note She was going to appear in a later episode of the series titled "Enter Freakazette!", but it was cancelled before that could happen (thus leaving the script unproduced)
  • Candlejack starred in one episode and appeared briefly in only two others, yet somehow he became popular and memetic enough to get his own page on this very Wiki.
• In the DC Animated Universe, there is a show called The New Batman Adventures. In that show, there is an episode titled "Beware the Creeper". And in that episode, there is a scene where the Creeper, in all his yellow-skinned, manic glory, gleefully barges into a clothing store in search of a new costume. Everyone in the store runs away screaming... except for a clerk who remains completely, utterly stoic (making deadpan comments the whole way) as she helps him pick an outfit and passes him through. And she was called: "Thriftie".
• In Turtles Forever, Tohka and Razar, the duo of Ensemble Darkhorses from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) films appears...for all of five seconds as part of the '03 Shredder's Mutant army.
  • They also made their appearance in the 1987 series episode, "Dirk Savage: Mutant Hunter".
• The old The Tick animated series featured, in its run, precisely one episode with a would-be villain calling himself 'The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight' (yeah, baby!). This character was so blisteringly off-the-wall - even by The Tick's standards - that he is easily one of the most memorable characters in the entire series.
  "And so he says to me, you want to be a bad guy? and I say Yeah Baby! I want to be bad! I says Churchill space ponies I'm making gravy without the lumps! Ah ha ha ha ha haaaaa!!!!!"
  • TEMBWBAT got a later one-scene appearance trying to get into the villain awards but being rejected by the bouncer.
    "One of these days, baby! MILKSHAKE! BOOM!"
• After Remy Buxaplenty's lone appearance on The Fairly Oddparents ("Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary") many fans clamored for another appearance from him and his fairy, and the clamors grew especially after a Halloween episode which had an appearance by Remy's father (but not Remy himself). He eventually got a couple more episodes a few seasons later.
• Originally, the Metalocalypse character Dr. Rockzo the Rock n Roll Clown (he does cocaine) was a minor character at Murderface's birthday party who only got 50 seconds of screen time. However, the fans and creators liked him so much, he was added as a recurring guest star in 5 more episodes.
  • In that first 50 seconds, he says he does cocaine three and a half times.
    • His popularity has allowed him to be the only character not to die from Toki's friendship
• Lisa the Babysitter only appeared in a single episode of Dexter's Laboratory, but look how much fanart she has.
• Spongebob Squarepants:
  • MOAR Krabs appears for only a flash second, and it becomes an instant meme.
  • Though he never actually appears: "Once there was an ugly barnacle".
  • Smitty Werbenjaegermanjensen. He was number one!!! Only his skeleton appears on-screen, yet fans made him into a meme.
  • The Unsatisfiable Customer from the climax of "Pizza Delivery." Despite only having a few minutes of screen time, he makes for one of the most memorable parts of an already memorable episode partly due to to Doug Lawrence's phenomenal performance. His Jerkass behavior is enough to make SpongeBob cry, and it just makes it all the more satisfying when Squidward finally puts the man in his place.
• Transformers: Generation 1 has a ton of these due to a large cast needing to be sold and not loads and loads of time. Some characters make very memorable appearances that are sadly rare and brief. Sixshot, for example, is introduced by Galvatron as a 'one-robot army,' proves it by taking out the entire Aerialbot team singlehandedly, earning his name by using each of his then-unprecedented six transformations to do it, and is then not seen again.
  • Can also go for accessories. At one point in the three-part premiere, Optimus and Megatron are fighting on top of a dam. Optimus transforms his arm into a glowing energy ax. Megatron transforms his into a glowing energy morningstar. They battle for a minute or two, before Megatron leaves by spinning his morningstar in the air and flying off as if it's a helicopter propellor. These weapons are never seen again. You'd think it'd be a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment, but it's so hugely memorable that there have been homages to it ever since, popping up in toys and comics often. It's almost certainly the reason Transformers: Animated Optimus has an axe as his main weapon.
• On Total Drama, the blond intern was originally this. He was pretty much just a character in the background of the TDA Aftermaths, but fans latched onto him, named him Billy (which has since been used by Word of God) and got him made into a recurring character on the game proper.
  • "Clone Cody" (aka "Alien Cody") from the Area 51 episode. The short gag, which can be found here, was basically just a quick Shout-Out to Invasion of the Body Snatchers where Cody (an Ensemble Dark Horse himself) is confronted by a short-lived doppelganger. From people who found him funny to people who found him hot, the fact is Clone Cody is quite popular. There's even a fad now where people design clone versions of the other members of the TD cast.
• Fred from Courage the Cowardly Dog. Despite only appearing in one episode (apart from a brief cameo at the end of "Ball Of Revenge") he has become one of the series' most recognizable and frightening villains.
  • The blue nightmare creature from "Perfect." Although it only appeared in a ten-second nightmare scene during the final episode and barely spoke, it has become known as one of the series' most frightening characters.
  • Kitty and Bunny from the episode "The Mask," for having personalities, backstories, and relationships that displayed surprisingly mature themes.
  • King Ramses. Despite only appearing sporadically in a single episode, with no future cameos, he has become one of the series' most famously frightening and memorable characters. His creepy and highly repeatable phrases certainly help his memorability.
• Occasionally on Beavis And Butthead, a girl named Daria sees the titular duo in the middle of something stupid. She barely reacts to the Unusually Uninteresting Sight, makes a snide remark about the boys' stupidity, then disappears for pretty much the rest of the episode. As hilarious as Beavis and Butthead can be, one can definitely see how this character would end up getting her own series.
• TaleSpin has many one-shot guest star characters who are popular with the fans. For example, the last Cape Suzette Air Force pilot to get shot down in "Last Horizons" is only onscreen for a minute, but makes a good impression with his incredible piloting skills.
• Teen Titans: Argent. Oh so much. A Pettanko dressed in the whole gothic dress thing and has an Australian accent? And her big action during the scene was...getting a communicator from Starfire. Yeah. Her minimal time on screen didn't stop her from becoming a fan art favorite.
  • A relationship example Kid Flash and Jinx. After Lightspeed premiered, the love for the Kid Flash/Jinx pairing that emerged from that episode and eventually became an Official Couple ensured that pretty much everyone ships them (Flinx◊).
• South Park has the meme-inspiring underpants gnomes and the sexual harassment panda.
• The Modifyers has Baron Vain, whose psychopathy and ridiculousness won the hearts of those who actually saw it.
• In episode 14 of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, titled "Suited For Success", a white unicorn with a blue-and-turquoise mane appears on screen for about 6 seconds. Judging from the turntable in front of her, fans decided that she was a DJ. She got a name (Vinyl Scratch), a stage name (DJ P0N-3), a few fanfics and quite a lot of fanart, and shout outs in commercials and an official t-shirt. And now she's a toy.
  • Said DJ pony makes a return in the Season 2 finale for yet another One-Scene Wonder, and became a major background character in the Equestria Girls movies. She became a recurring character in later seasons, appearing as a supporting role in many Season 4, 5, and 6 episodes and also appears as one of the supporting characters in the Equestria Girls franchise.
  • The wall-eyed pony was an animation mistake in part one of the Friendship Is Magic pilot. Derpy Hooves became a near-instant Ascended Extra, just add insane, never-say-die fandom. Her appearance in "The Last Roundup" has lead it to become known as as "The Episode Where Derpy Became Canon"
  • Then there are the Shadowbolts, who have gotten quite a few fans despite them not really existing - including Rainbow Dash, who dresses up as one for Nightmare Night.
  • The fandom loves these. Octavia (the cello-playing pony from "The Best Night Ever"), Sapphire Shores (a pony pop-star who kicks off the plot of "A Dog and Pony Show"), the camp sea serpent from "Elements of Harmony" (who has gained the nickname "Steven Magnet" thanks to the hilarious youtube closed captions) and Princess Luna (who returned in Season 2, episode 4 and later became an Ascended Extra) and countless other characters get no more than a minute of screen time and a few lines of dialogue (if any), yet own their screen time so hard people are still talking about them.
  • Crackle the dragon. A 4-second Cutaway Gag of a very odd-looking dragon that just happens to look like Twilight's Rainbow's and Rarity's Paper-Thin Disguise.
  • The episode "Hurricane Fluttershy" gave fans quite a couple One-Scene Wonder pegasi: A pair of grayish white-maned pegasi with unique hairstyles named Flitter and Cloudchaser (the latter of whom can also be seen in a season 3 trailer), a darkened stallion named Thunderlane, a white-coated pegasus with a green and pink mane named Blossomforth, and a beefed up muscular pony who notably screams YEAH! a handful of times in the episode. Each appears only briefly and has a handful of lines at most, but true to form they've each developed some pretty big fan followings. Most of them have since become minor recurring characters in the show.
  • In "Games Ponies Play", there was a flashback scene where Rainbow Dash is with a stallion with a rainbow mane just like her. Fans are calling him Rainbow Dad, with a decent fan following from it. He is officially named Rainbow Blaze in merchandise.
  • In the Season Four opener, Discord gave Twilight a scepter with a goofy face to mock her princessiness. As happened with Derpy, the Twilicane has exploded across the fandom. It took one day for someone to make a 3D model of it, someone else to set up a Tumblr, and for someone else to do this.
  • Firefly, Medley, Twilight, Applejack, Bowtie, Scorpan, and Tirek are some of the most popular My Little Pony characters but in American canon only appeared in the first of the two My Little Pony TV Specials.
  • The great and powerful Trixie has only one speaking role in "My Little Pony: Equestria Girls". Thanks to her Large Ham status, it's one of the most memorable scenes
  • Junebug, the sherbet orange-maned mare with flowers in her saddlebags, has only appeared in two episodes to date, and her sole speaking role is in "Secret of My Excess" when Spike demands a birthday present from her.
  • Sunny Rays appeared for but a few seconds moving clouds at the beginning of "Look Before You Sleep", and did not appear again until late in Season 4. Despite this, she has recieved a brushable toy in the Wedding Invitation line.
• The Ed, Edd n Eddy Grand Finale Movie introduces us to Eddy's long-unseen older brother. He only gets 5 minutes of screen time and yet leaves a huge impact as a genuinely dangerous person who beats his younger brother and Edd for fun.
• Tiny Toon Adventures had Julie Bruin. In one very short toon, yet memorable for perhaps unwholesome reasons, as well as being a spoof of her voice actor, Julie Brown.
• In The Critic, Orson Welles appeared in two minutes total over two episodes, and has spawned more memes than any other character on the show.
  • "They're even better when you're dead!"
• While chock-full of memorable one-shot characters, episode 50 of Samurai Jack took it a step further when it gave us X9, a highly-skilled robot assassin with a Film Noir vibe and mobster zoot suit who was the last of his kind, due to receiving an emotion chip that gave him a sense of self-preservation when the other bots let themselves get blown to bits. Unlike his brethren, X9 grew to hate the senseless acts of killing and disappeared from Aku's watchful eyes, then found new purpose in life when he befriended a dog named Lulu... sweet thing. Although X9 appears once, he's the only character with a speaking line that episode, and he's not a Filler Villain with generic motives, but a complex character with a valid reason to take up his gun. More importantly, we're treated to a deep, heartwrenching Back Story, which makes him that more endearing to the fans and viewers watching- especially when Aku kidnaps Lulu and blackmails X9 into coming out of retirement to kill Samurai Jack. The rest of the episode after the How We Got Here segment amounts into a tension-filled showdown between Jack and X9- one of the few times you actually don't want to see Jack's enemy cut down... which makes the ending of the episode all the painful to watch. Season 5 came years later, and we never did get to find out what the fate of Lulu was... sweet thing.
• The (possible) future Warden on Superjail!, who was the reason why the Time Police arrested the Warden despite him not (yet) committing any crimes in the first season finale. He got maybe three minutes of screen time, and was loved for being an Axe-Crazy Future Badass who conquered the world.
  • The doberman puppy from "Superfail" in season 3 wound up with a lot of fanworks dedicated to him, owing to the twisted Tear Jerker nature of the flashback that he appeared in.
• Adventure Time could claim a verifiable treasure trove of these, between one or two-line characters like the Tiny Manticore in "Son of Mars" or the Old Man Prisoner from "Gut Grinder" or single-episode characters like Lorraine from "BMO Noire" or Wormo from "Apple Thief". Of course, many of these characters go on to become an Ascended Extra.
• For one short scene in The Super Hero Squad Show, Ray Stevenson reprises his role from the movie as The Punisher, who lets the entire Squad crash in his van for as long as they can stand it. Hilarity Ensues as he goes on a Frank Miller-esque monologue.
• Stacey, Larry's girlfriend, from the Life With Loopy short "Larry's Girl". While she only appeared for one minute and had only one line of dialogue at the end of the episode (and oddly, never showed up again), most fans of the short absolutely love her, both for her generally being a very cute character and also due to her scene being one of the most heartwarming ones in the series.
• The baboon jogger from Bojack Horseman. His only appearance aside from silent cameos lasts for about 30 seconds at most. And yet in that 30 seconds he gives Bojack some of the best, most poignant life advice ever. Simply to help out a complete stranger who seemed to be having some trouble.
  "It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you have to do it every day. That's the hard part. But it does get easier."
• Lots in The Venture Bros. Some go on to make more appearances later, and others disappear forever. Some more notable examples:
  • The Grand Galactic Inquisitor, one of the funniest characters in the whole series despite only appearing in a single episode. IGNORE ME!!!
  • Kim played a role in one episode, cameoed in another, and had two mentions. Fans have begged for her to be brought back, among others because she was suggested to become a villain, but it's neve come of that.
• Johnny Test:
  • She-Johnny, the fan name given to the curvy, adult female form Johnny takes for a split second in the first series opening sequence in, and for just as long in the first episode. But those collective two seconds were enough to grant an awful lot of fanart...granted, much of it is a bit, ahem, illicit.
  • Vampire Susan and Mary, especially among the anti-Twilight fans. The gothic dresses they wear, and their creepy, yet charming dialogue helps.
  • Joni West seems to be this, in fact she was so loved that she returned in The Lost Web Series.
• Bob's Burgers: "The Hawkening: Look Who's Hawking Now" features an in-universe version as the source of the episode's conflict. Shinji Kojima, star of the Hawk & Chick film series, steals the second reel of a director's cut of Hawk & Chick vs. the Cephalopod Monster, and the Belchers try to get it back. It turns out Koji stole the movie because a deleted scene featured a then-unknown actor who managed to out-act Kojima, despite having a minor role in the movie. Kojima, in a fit of jealousy, used his clout at the studio to have the scene deleted from the movie.
• Baymax!: "Sofia" has a scene of Baymax doing a Tampon Run to help a girl go through her first period. Amongst all of the customers giving suggestions of sanitary pads for Baymax, one of them happens to be a trans man (identified by his shirt patterned after the transgender flag itself).
• Steven Universe: Lemon Jade, a fusion of two random Gems that appears for less than a minute during the Homeworld arc that closes out the series. She shows up to declare her solidarity with Stevonnie and the Crystal Gems and is immediately poofed for her defiance, but has attracted quite a fan following for her unique appearance and for being one/two of the few Gems that openly defied the Diamonds.
