* Stwingers, teeny-tiny fairies in the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' 2nd Edition. Described as "nauseatingly cute", they weren't truly dangerous, but very annoying, especial for dwarves, seeing as stwingers saw long beards as playground swings. Even if seen, these creatures had some sort of euphoria power that made it hard to shoo them away.

** Jar Jar Binks fits this trope in Episode I. His antics get him into trouble, after which someone smarter needs to save him. Their method of solving this in Episodes II and III was to make him a representative in the Galactic Senate and greatly reduce his screen time without [[PutOnABus writing him out completely.]]

* Most people feel that Puck from the ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' manga would fit this trope pretty well.
** Including everyone in the manga.

to:

* Most people feel ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': Puck is a small, cutesy FairyCompanion sidekick who follows Guts while cracking jokes and nagging him to have a better attitude. At first Guts is annoyed by him and threatens to squash him like a bug a couple of times. It's only when Puck proves useful in his constant healing and driving away ghosts that Puck from the ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' manga would fit Guts warms up to him. Schierke's FairyCompanion Ivalera shares this trope pretty well.

* As part of its homage to all things '80s, ''VideoGame/DoubleDragonNeon'' has a hidden secret called Fuzzface, a small flying fuzzy ball that looks goofy and says annoying things in a high-pitched voice. He does at least provide healing items and nets you an achievement/trophy for finding him.

to:

* Slimer in ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters''. ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'', on the surface, is a textbook case. However, behind the scenes, he's a little bit more complex; in the earlier era of the show helmed by Creator/JMichaelStraczynski, the man specifically clarified in his writer's guide for the series to not overuse Slimer so that he ''doesn't'' fall under this trope (or at least, isn't hit by it too hard). However, once the network [[ExecutiveMeddling started interfering with the show]] one of their many controversial decisions was to shoehorn Slimer into every scene, soon embodying this trope's worst aspects.

The show, a pastiche of 80's Filmation/Hanna-Barbera-styled action-fantasy cartoons, features an annoying ghost-like creature named Spooch who pretty much ticks every box associated with this trope. He is also frequently abused by the title character.
