* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': While ukuleles (and other Hawaiian instruments) are commonly played as background music, [=SpongeBob=] himself especially fits the theme due to his quirky nature. He actually plays this trope straight in "Hello Bikini Bottom", strumming a ukulele alongside Squidward and his clarinet.

* Music/TessaViolet leaned into this trope earlier in her career, such as in her cover of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKWuGJc_F6s I Wan'na Be Like You]]" which she performs while wearing a monkey onesie, though it has become less prevalent with later albums like "Bad Ideas" and "My God!" which shift towards darker themes and tones.

* British music hall and film comedian of TheForties Music/GeorgeFormby became an unlikely screen hero because of his gawky misfit clown persona and his quirly ukelele-based songs. (Technically, he played a banjolele or banjo uke.)

* The titular character of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' is a quirky, [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide slightly feminine]] boy who lives with his magical guardians, the Crystal Gems. A ukulele is his signature instrument, and most of the songs he composes InUniverse are played with one. However, by ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'' he switches to acoustic guitar, and ends up giving his ukulele away to Pearl.
