* ''WesternAnimation/{{Velma}}'': [[Characters/VelmaTitularCharacter Velma Dinkley]] is an UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist who has bad personal hygiene, frequently engaging in gross habits like eating out of trash cans and vacuum cleaners, refusing to go to the dentist, and peeing in the shower.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Velma}}'': [[Characters/VelmaTitularCharacter Velma]] is an UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist who has bad personal hygiene, frequently engaging in gross habits like eating out of trash cans and vacuum cleaners, refusing to go to the dentist, and peeing in the shower.

* ''WesternAnimation/DanVs'': Dan is a vindictive, cantankerous jerk who never showers or brushes his teeth. He even states that he only go to the dentist ''once a decade''. Not to mention that [[TrashOfTheTitans his apartment complex is an absolute dump]], almost ''literally''.

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'': [[Characters/BeavisAndButtHeadTitularCharacters Beavis and Butt-Head]] are {{Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist}}s who care nothing about their personal hygiene. In "Tainted Meat", Beavis scratches his nads like crazy at Burger World and accesses the grill ''without washing his hands first'', causing a disease outbreak and leaving 15 hospitalized.

* Everseer, one of the heroes from the DVD extra of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', actually recites this quote. Being an extreme germaphobe, it should come as no surprise.

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'': [[Characters/BeavisAndButtHeadTitularCharacters Beavis and Butt-Head]] are {{Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist}}s who care nothing about their personal hygiene. In "Tainted Meat", Beavis scratches his nads like crazy at Burger World and accesses the grill ''without washing his hands first'', causing a disease outbreak and leaving 15 hospitalized.

* The Music/BeastieBoys: "[[Music/LicensedToIll Rhymin' & Stealin']]."

[[folder:Web Original]]

* Hilariously parodied in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', where Franchise/TheFlash thinks this is the case when he's trapped in ComicBook/LexLuthor's body.

* ''Manga/GabrielDropOut'': One sign that Gabriel is a fallen angel is how her apartment is so dirty that Vignette jokes about sinners from hell turning it into their residence. It also reflects on her halo, which is entirely covered in thick, black fog. Also played straight (except from the other side) with Vignette herself, who regularly cleans her apartment and is a good person, even though she's a demon.

* Trevor from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' lives in a trailer so filthy that it's a wonder it hasn't been condemned and has a [[AxCrazy personality]] to match [[OmnicidalManiac typical]] [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential player]] [[YouBastard behavior.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'': Beavis and Butt-Head are {{Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist}}s who care nothing about their personal hygiene. In "Tainted Meat", Beavis scratches his nads like crazy at Burger World and accesses the grill ''without washing his hands first'', causing a disease outbreak and leaving 15 hospitalized.

* In ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002'', Beast-Man's stench is ''so'' bad, Tri-Klops attempts to use alchemy to fix it, using a ''volatile'' substance called "necrosia" to make a deodorant that will fix it. (Even Mer-Man, one of Skeletor's henchmen who's usually Beast-Man's friend, has to use some BrutalHonesty when he's confronted about it.)
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Grossology}}'', all of the villains are disgusting in one way or another. However, Sloppy Joe is the one with truly disgusting personal hygiene. He never touches soap, and a single whiff of his BO is enough to render bystanders unconscious.

* Brad from ''WesternAnimation/KickButtowskiSuburbanDaredevil'' is a self-righteous {{Jerkass}} who [[BigBrotherBully bullies Kick on a regular basis]] and has extremely poor personal hygiene, even indulging in gross habits such as farting in Kick's face while he sleeps and tormenting him at the table with his smelly feet. [[TrashOfTheTitans His bedroom is also a filthy mess]], which he's actually proud of.

* ''WesternAnimation/MaoMaoHeroesOfPureHeart'': Badgerclops starts wearing "purifying crystals" to suck the toxins out of his system. They obviously don't work and he's surrounded by a cloud of his own body odor. Mao Mao and Adorabat then have to find a way to get him clean without [[BerserkButton hurting his feelings]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/PJSparkles'', the Cloak and Betty revel in spreading filth everywhere, complete with a literal bag of trash. Betty in particular has a way with stench, and the Cloak waxes poetic about how Twinkle Town smells like "a rotten egg sandwich made with moldy limburger cheese and rolled in used kitty litter" before he finds PJ's helped the town.

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'': Beavis and Butt-Head are {{Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist}}s who care nothing for their personal hygiene. In "Tainted Meat", Beavis scratches his nads like crazy at Burger World and accesses the grill ''without washing his hands first'', causing a disease outbreak and leaving 15 hospitalized.

** Averted with the titular Shrek, who follows a number of disgusting habits, but is definitely a good guy. Said habits are portrayed as normal and healthy for his ogre species, though.

* Averted in ''Literature/{{Discworld}}''. Nobby Nobbs and Gaspode in particular are firmly on the side of the heroes but are revolting. Then again, Gaspode is a talking dog, and the dogs and werewolves of Discworld are terrified of baths. At at least one point there is a minor character who claims she is not one to think that cleanliness is next to godliness (and so following this trope) and the narration notes that, in fact, very few people do, not least reams of so-called prophets, etc, whose renunciation of mortal, ungodly matters often starts with soap.

* ''Series/CriminalMinds'': Sometimes this trope is played straight, sometimes averted (especially if the [=UnSub=] suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. One of the best examples was Billy Flynn, a serial killer and rapist known as "The Prince of Darkness". A trademark of his was his horribly rotten teeth. This was taken from one of the real-life criminals that he was based on: Richard Ramirez, the "Night Stalker" who also suffered from similar tooth decay albeit for different reasons (Flynn was a tobacco smoker, Ramirez had a sweet tooth and was a drug addict for much of his life).

* In ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', when Vegeta and Nappa first arrive on Earth, one of many insults that Krillin slings at Nappa is telling him he stinks. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Not getting the point]], Nappa protests that it isn't his fault, saying that he had been cooped up in his transport pod for months[[note]]causing Vegeta to tell him to shut up, not for the first -- or last -- time[[/note]].

* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': Inverted with Misato, who is [[TrashOfTheTitans quite the messy and unkempt slob in private]] but otherwise one of the nicest characters in the series alongside Rei.
