* ''Series/TheJimHensonHour'': Subverted in a sketch where Space Guy (Creator/LouieAnderson), a {{Jerkass}} space captain meets Commander Bunny (Bean Bunny) and his fellow bunnies from the planet Cuteron, who want to be friends. When Space Guy retorts, "[[SeeYouInHell I'll see you as rabbit stew first, hairball!]]", Commander Bunny responds by using his Cute Ray on him. Despite Space Guy's efforts to resist the effects of the Ray, he finds himself giggling, thinking about balloons, and turning into a bright pink bunny.

Anything that comes across as adorable or saccharine, such as sunshine, lollipops, rainbows, puppies, and everything else that comes out of a SugarBowl can be expected to provoke a wide range of negative reactions from many ObviouslyEvil villains, {{Jerkass}}es (often the [[CardCarryingJerkass card-carrying kind]]), and [[TheCynic cynics]]. Edgy, spike-wearing fiends usually harbor intense hatred towards the saccharine, and will not hesitate [[KickTheDog to grab a bat and beat a sack of kittens to death on sight]], or at the very least make their lives miserable [[PokeThePoodle with dreaded finger pokes of evil]]. Sometimes, they may initially look charmed by said sack of kittens... [[BaitTheDog right before bringing down the bat]].

"Fraggle Rock" and "The Jim Henson Hour" aren't just live-action TV. They're also shows with puppets.


* ''Series/TheGoodPlace'':
** In "The Selection" Shawn threatens his coworkers with being forced to watch videos of red pandas, which are adorable. Since they're demons, they're disgusted.
** Turned around on Shawn when the Judge threatens him with being forced to watch videos of soldiers reuniting with their dogs in "A Girl from Arizona". Even he has to give pause at that.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** In the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles The Trouble with Tribbles]]", Klingons react to Tribbles with hostility and disgust just as surely as Tribbles react to them with hisses and screeches.
** In the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS05E06TrialsAndTribbleations Trials and Tribble-ations]]", which is set during the same time frame as "The Trouble with Tribbles", Worf explains that the mutual hatred is because [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvxJcazHm6M the tribbles' insane eating habits caused a famine for the Klingon Empire, and they were hunted to extinction by the end of the 23rd century]]. [[spoiler:Or ''were'' extinct, until [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKAYbZZwU68 the crew accidentally brings them back to the future and they overtake the station!]]]]

Among other reasons for bad guys' general aversion towards the saccharine: EvilIsCool, so anything cute threatens to undermine the villain's cool, villainous appearance and make them look lame. [[CardCarryingVillain The variety who consider being "evil" a part of their identity]], '''especially''' these guys, will do everything in their power to prevent this, and deviating from their ways by falling under the influence of cuteness may lead to being told, "IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten".
