History Main / Gonk

* Rancid Rabbit, Eddie the Squirrel and The Greaser Dogs from ''WesternAnimaion/CatDog''. Eddie looks nothing like a squirrel and [[ElephantInTheLivingRoom nobody finds that weird]].

* Rancid Rabbit, Eddie the Squirrel and The Greaser Dogs from ''WesternAnimated/CatDog''. Eddie looks nothing like a squirrel and [[ElephantInTheLivingRoom nobody finds that weird]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Psychosomnium}}'': Shirley, the only female in the game, looks like a bizarre mutant (not that the brown blocky people in this game are very handsome.)

* Not to be insulting, but DannyTrejo is typically cast in frightening roles precisely because his unusual features make him look intimidating. PeterLorre would be an earlier example, with an appearance that made him easy to accept as a villain. Maybe has UnfortunateImplications for all of us.

* Give the LetsPlay/FreelanceAstronauts access to a character creator and they'll make [[LegacyCharacter another horrifying incarnation]] of Dongs "REO" Speedwagon. In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' she was a crone-like, green-faced, blue-haired dark elf with butterfly wings and a penchant for bludgeoning people to death with a fish. In ''[[SaintsRow Saints Row 2]]'' she was an obese, slack-jawed, blue-haired woman with poor posture and [[LarynxDissonance a man's voice]] who was so disturbing that Maxwell scrapped her for Gangsta Link. And now in ''MassEffect'' we have Dongs Shepard, with a man's head on a woman's body and something ''seriously'' wrong with her neck.

* Every ''FireEmblem'' game includes one playable gonk (''except'' for FireEmblemAwakening). The bandit class seems to be solely composed of these. One gonk by the name of [[MemeticMolester Gheb]] achieved internet popularity. In fact, one can pretty reliably tell which enemy characters will eventually join the player... they're the ones who don't look like either a monkey's behind or Morticia Addams.
** Gonzales from ''Fire Emblem'': Sealed Sword would like a word...
** And Oliver, who takes the cake because of his delusion that he's the most beautiful thing in the world despite all evidence to the contrary.
*** FireEmblemAwakening gives us [[CreepyTwins Vincent]] [[NoYay and Victor]], who are outright Gonkish and whose blatant IncestSubtext makes you want to [[MemeticMutation violently vomit out your own internal organs]]. And then there's ''Excellus. Oh dear lord '''[[NoRespectGuy Ex]][[DirtyCoward ce]][[TheStarscream ll]][[SmugSnake us]]''' '', he is by far ''the gonkliest'' character the Fire Emblem series has to offer, and he (unlike Oliver and others) has ''[[CompleteMonster no redeeming qualities]]'' and is one of the few characters you'll be glad that you can't recruit (and who would honestly ''want'' to recruit him?) and kill him [[spoiler:after his blackmailing of Yen'Fay]]. He recieves a major HumiliationConga, KickTheSonOfABitch, and a TakeThatScrappy, all courtesy of [[spoiler:Walhart himself]], and to top it off, [[spoiler:he is a Grimleal]] who is trying to take the Plegian throne [[spoiler:and revive Grima]]. He is vain like Oliver, but he's much more '''hideous''' than the latter, who is just hilariously gonk.

* The main trio from TheBenchwarmers.
* MatthewBroderick did this three times in ''Film/InspectorGadget'', ''TheStepfordWives'' and ''DeckTheHalls''.

* Johnny of TheRoom is rather creepy looking with an indeterminate accent, yet [[MartyStu beloved by all]].

* Every ''FireEmblem'' game includes one playable gonk. The bandit class seems to be solely composed of these. One gonk by the name of [[MemeticMolester Gheb]] achieved internet popularity.

** And of course the second ninja school gave us...uh...[[http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d174/Razer_2mb/8U/PWSGYIU56LJT6EVKNRKBHQWRQXOGFE7F.gif 8U]].

* The eponymous ''FatPrincess''.

* GaiaOnline decided to pull a fast one on the members when asking if they wanted cute child star Timmy to remain a child or become an adult. After the votes were tallied and adult Timmy was chosen, he was aged up as promised and turned into an incredibly ugly and gangly man with an enormous honker (while everyone was expecting yet another hot anime guy). One member actually responded by posting a smiley called "gonk".
** Actually, he wouldn't look so bad if he switched to adult clothes. The old ones are not his size anymore.
** ''Definitely'' YMMV. Timothy's adult look was based on NicolasCage's character in ''Film/RaisingArizona'', and a surprisingly large number of users thought he was HollywoodHomely at worst. In-universe, he was able to charm a girl with a boyfriend (and got Doctor Singh into a catfight with said girl over him). Then again, there was Reapersun's FanDisservice art of him in the man-thong from ''Borat''...

* The huge and ugly EvilKnockoff of ''WesternAnimation/MrBogus'' from the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS2E5BadLuckBogus Bad Luck Bogus]]". He is meant to resemble a rather hideous version of Bogus.

* Jimmy The .jackass Boy from TheRippingFriends.

* Anyone who lives in Planville who isn't [[.jackassHero Rudy]] or [[SecretKeeper Penny]] from ''ChalkZone''.

* [[Fat.jackass Kyle]] and [[DumbMuscle Ranger Stu]] from ''SquirrelBoy''.

* Jimmy The Idiot Boy from TheRippingFriends.

* Anyone who lives in Planville who isn't [[IdiotHero Rudy]] or [[SecretKeeper Penny]] from ''ChalkZone''.

* [[FatIdiot Kyle]] and [[DumbMuscle Ranger Stu]] from ''SquirrelBoy''.

* [[WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys Eliza Thornberry]]

* Large amounts of recruitable characters in InazumaEleven are gonks among other weird faces.

** When Lucifer and Alciel (demons) see [[FanDisservice a picture of her in her swimsuit]], they pass out and throw up, respectively.

** ''Omeada period.''

** Charlotte Chuhlhourne is this, but believes he is the most beautiful.........[[VillainousCrossdresser guy(???????)]] ever.
