History ObliviousToLove / WesternAnimation

** Gadget Hackwrench manages to be amazingly oblivious to the advances of both Chip and Dale.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'' Devin of the Best Friends spends most of the season completely oblivious to the fact Carrie (the other Best Friend) is hopelessly in love with him and has been since they were little kids. [[spoiler: Amusingly, as soon as Carrie decides to give up on Devin and focus on the race, he realises he's in love with her and ''she'' becomes oblivious to ''his'' love. Eventually he manages to spit it out and TheyDo.]]

* It seems to be a RunningGag in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'':

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'', [[TheProtagonist Luz]] [[NiceGirl Noceda]] gets off on the wrong foot with [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Amity]] [[AcademicAlphaBitch Blight]], and is very happy when they actually do become friends later. What Luz doesn't realize is that Amity's feelings about her go far beyond mere friendship. In "Enchanting Grom Fright", when she discovers that Amity's greatest fear is being rejected by the person she wanted to ask to be her date to witch-prom, Luz offers to be her date instead, completely unaware that ''she herself'' was the person Amity wanted to ask out to begin with. In the next episode, "Wing It Like Witches", Luz apparently doesn't even notice that Amity becomes a blushing, stammering mess every time she's in her presence.
** [[spoiler: It's subverted in Season 2, however. Not only is Luz aware of Amity's feelings, she actively returns them, and by "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door," they're an OfficialCouple.]]

* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'': In keeping with Freddy's usual personality traits (that is, when he's [[TheGenericGuy given personality traits at all]]), he's shown in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' to be just as dumb and naive about romance as he is about most everything else ([[GeniusDitz except for traps]]). Daphne practically throws herself at him, and he's completely clueless.

** Their roles [[UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo switch]] in the period between the main series and the FlashForward episode "Act Your Age", with Phineas developing feelings for Isabella in high school (by which point she had given up) and her being completely unaware that he was now crushing on her. The others are naturally exasperated by this turn of events.
* ''WesternAnimation/RoadRovers'': It is hinted at throughout the series, but in the last episode, it is made quite obvious that Colleen has a crush on Hunter. She asks him if he would like to go for walk on beach to which he responds with an enthusiastic "You bet!" Cut to Hunter as a regular dog with Colleen holding his leash.

* Lampshaded in the ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]'' episode "Kid's Stuff" where Green Lantern, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman are changed deaged. During the episode, a more hormonal tweenage Wonder Woman spends her time flirting with Batman, who is too embarrassed to acknowledge it.

* On ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'', the title character doesn't realize that Heloise harbors a huge crush on him. And she's not exactly subtle about it either, becoming less so as the series goes on. At one point, Heloise wonders ''why'' she likes him. WordOfGod it's because sweet, innocent guys like Jimmy appeal to [[EnfantTerrible the last bit of humanity left in her]]. However, it is hinted a few times later on that Jimmy may secretly be aware but chooses to ignore them for personal reasons.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'', it is hinted that Jazmine has a crush on Huey. However, Huey seems to be oblivious to her feelings due to him focusing on social and political issues.

** [[spoiler: It's subverted ''hard'' in Season 2, however. Not only is Luz aware of Amity's feelings, she actively returns them, and by "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door," they're an OfficialCouple.]]

** In the episode "Girl Trouble", Arnold's grandpa literally spells it out for Arnold, explaining all of Helga's [[{{Tsundere}} behavior]] perfectly and even adds in a story about how he went through the same thing at that age. Arnold brushes off this idea as crazy.

** TurnedUpToEleven in the "Summer Belongs to You" double-length episode, where Phineas can notice the obvious attraction of all the OTHER couples around him, but the notion of him going on a romantic date with Isabella, in Paris, shortly after she finishes singing an adorable song about her affections (In a show known for leaning on the fourth wall) is completely alien to him, causing Isabella to grow increasingly aggravated. And causes her [[YourHeadASplode head to explode]]. [[DaydreamSurprise In her mind]], of course.

* ''WesternAnimation/RoadRovers'': Hunter, it is hinted at throughout the series, but in the last episode it is made quite obvious that Colleen has a crush on Hunter. She asks him if he would like to go for walk on beach to which he responds with an enthusiastic "You bet!" Cut to Hunter as a regular dog with Colleen holding his leash.

* Tommy on ''WesternAnimation/{{Robotboy}}'', to Lola. Like most examples, Lola's not subtle about it…

* In ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'', the episode "Vidiots" says it all. After they enroll in a dating service, they completely fail to realize the chicks who come by later are looking for ''them''. [[WhatAnIdiot And they wonder why they have trouble scoring]]!

** Perhaps subverted in episode 24. They finally kiss and Fred apparently proposes to Daphne, although his phrasing is either a metaphor for marriage or a certification for van seating arrangements (Daphne and/or Velma are always riding shotgun).

* Egon is Oblivious to Janine's crush during the first seasons. [[OfficialCouple He gets better with time.]] In ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters'' the crush of Eduardo over Kylie was at first treated as this, though some episode hinted that Kylie [[AvertedTrope does knows and reciprocrates]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'', the Daughters of Aku provide a particularly sad example: Watching a buck and a doe nuzzling, they're utterly confused as to what's happening. The girls have been abused and neglected to such a degree that don't even know what affection is.
* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'':
** Adrien doesn't seem to grasp why Marinette becomes flustered and awkward around him. Of course, he has the excuse that his father has kept him shut up in their mansion his entire life, and thus hasn't had enough social experience to pick up on the obvious. In addition, [[LovesMyAlterEgo he only has eyes for Marinette's alter ego, Ladybug.]] As the show goes on, he picks up [[CluelessChickMagnet more admirers]], and each time he's oblivious until someone spells it out for him. "Stormy Weather 2" implies that he's aware of it on some level, but in denial because he has a hard time believing anyone could be into him as Adrien when compared to Cat Noir.
** Despite all the flirting he does, Marinette never realized Cat Noir (Adrien's alter ego) has genuine feelings for Ladybug until "Glaciator".

-->'''Homer:''' Oh, that's hot. There isn't a man alive who wouldn't get turned on by that. ''(stands up)'' Well, goodbye!

* ''WesternAnimation/KappaMikey'' had this from Mikey to Suki. Although one episode ended with him giving her a LongingLook...
--> "Hey Gonard. I just realized something. Suki's a girl."
