Added DiffLines:

* ''[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes The Tazmanian Devil]]'' is a mean, slobbering brute with [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily a mouth full of razor sharp teeth]] and a [[JabbaTableManners monstrous]] [[BigEater appetite]], yet he's one of the most memorable and oddly adorable characters in all of ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''.
** WesternAnimation/{{Wile E Coyote|and the Roadrunner}}.
** Gossamer the red monster. It's ''heart''-shaped and wears sneakers.
* Nibbler from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' has 3 eyes (one of which is on a stalk), [[CuteLittleFangs fangs]], walks like a monkey, only has one nostril, adorably devours whole creatures several times his size, and poops starship fuel. Leela still goes "[[{{Squee}} Awwwww]]" when she first meets him. The animators were deliberately working with this trope. It becomes all the funnier when he starts speaking with the voice of [[HeyItsThatVoice Frank Welker]] (although he had provided the noises Nibbler made up until that point anyway).
** Also, Amy's pet buggalo, Betsy. Buggalo are giant beetles with cowskin-colored shells that can be milked like cows.
** A more recent example: Mr. Peppy. Anybody who says they didn't want to hug him after watching him hatch is a filthy, filthy liar.
** [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And Zoidberg!]]
** [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m38yiiJ2mN1qdazb2o1_500.png Fry's dog, Seymour]], from back in 2000 is basically the hobo-dog version of Scruffy ("the Janitor"). Never the less, he has the awkward adorableness of this trope. It helps that the episode that introduces him is heartbreaking.
* Blunk the gobliny thing in ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}''.
** Blunk not goblin! Passling!!
* Toad, in ''WesternAnimation/{{Wolverine and the X-Men}}''. From the second episode onward, they just gave up on making his giant eyes seem creepy at all by changing his serpentine pupils into round ones.
** A bit more pronounced in ''WesternAnimation/{{X-Men Evolution}}'', which also has teenaged [[CuteMonsterGirl Cute Mutant Guy]] Nightcrawler...
* Lexington, Broadway, and Bronx, just to name three characters in ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''.
* Rufus in ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''. Look at [[http://www.rochuswolff.de/weblog/archiv/img/kim_possible_nacktmulle_10.jpg this picture of Rufus]] and then look at what his [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/Nacktmull.jpg species ''actually'' looks like]].
** In the first movie, "A Sitch in Time," we see the duo's first mission, right before which Ron purchased Rufus from the pet store. As he introduces the little guy to Kim, Rufus is a baby; a tiny, wrinkly, shrivelled little ''thing'' that still manages to be utterly adorable.
** Don't forget Ron's one time mutated cockroach friend, Roachie. We've all seen cockroaches, so I don't even need to explain where the ugly comes in. However, Roachie still manages to be cute, like a "hard shelled puppy".
* Tootie, Vicky's sister and Timmy's admirer on ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'', can be considered an animated version of the aforementioned UglyBetty.
** Mr. Crocker. Despite being abnormally thin (to the point where his ribs are clearly visible), having a hunchback, crooked teeth, being bald (his hair is actually a wig which pops off at times when he spazzes), and having his ears on his neck, Crocker has a surprising number of fangirls who find him cute/attractive.
*** Humorously {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in one episode where Timmy's Dad thinks that Mr. Crocker is gorgeous...even though Crocker is ''clearly'' supposed to be ugly.
** The Anti-Fairies....especially Anti-Wanda with all her crooked teeth and Anti-Cosmo and his CuteLittleFangs.
* Silkie, Starfire's pet in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' fame. A burping mutant worm the size of a cat ''should not be that cute''.
** And Monster!Starfire from the episode "Transformation".
* Gorgonzola from ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}''. And that's just to name one character.
* The [[StylisticSuck art style]] of {{Ed Edd n Eddy}} is crude in a way that results in the entire cast being this, to various extents depending on the character.
** [[DistaffCounterpart The]] [[LovingBully Kanker]] [[BlondeBrunetteRedhead Sisters]] are the most prominent examples, particularly [[DumbBlonde M]][[{{Adorkable}} a]][[CuteButCacophonic y]] (though [[TheLadette Ma]][[YouGottaHaveBlueHair rie]] is more popular with fans and often considered the most attractive of the Kankers Sisters).
* Squibby, from the series ''TheFutureIsWild'' may well be the model for unconventional cuteness. "He" is the series' resident NonHumanSidekick and is essentially a land-dwelling [[http://marinebio.org/species.asp?id=260 Mimic Octopus]] (who in turn, is a great model for RealLife unconventional cuteness; there's something adorable about a chunk of coral staring anxiously at you) with the personality of Curious George.
* Meatwad from ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce''.
** "Meatwad makes the money, see...Meatwad gets the honeys, G..."
* The eponymous character in the BillPlympton short, ''Guard Dog''. It helps that he's both CuteButCacophonic and clearly TheWoobie in subsequent shorts.
* The goblins/orcs and Gollum from the animated film versions of ''WesternAnimation/TheHobbit'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheReturnOfTheKing''.
** Shmeagol ish freeeeeeeeeeee!
* Clayface, from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries.'' Yes, he's a psychotic shapeshifting clay monster with a horrible temper, but admit it, when he starts mourning for his humanity and showing off those huge yellow eyes, he's just adorable.
** There's also Bud and Lou, the pet hyenas of the Joker. Something about those beady little [[MonochromaticEyes blank eyes]] and gaping [[SlasherSmile fangy smiles]] make them cute.
* Both the eponymous character and Mega Brain from ''WesternAnimation/WidgetTheWorldWatcher''.
* Iris, from the ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'' series, is a {{cyclops}} but still darn cute.
** A good chunk of the characters apply-- the bag-eyed banshee, the EmoTeen [[DemBones skeleton]], the two-headed Frankenstein's monster. It's a part of the show's whole DarkIsNotEvil aesthetic.
* Charlotte in the animated adaption of ''Literature/CharlottesWeb''.
** [[spoiler:Also her babies]].
* [[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead Beavis]]. [[CatchPhrase Heh heh m heh. Thankyoudrivethru!]]
* [[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} Murderface]] of Dethklok is essentially a grown up, more curmudgeonly version of Beavis.
* The Snow Monster in ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer''.
* Many of the creatures from ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minuscule_%28TV_series%29 Miniscule]]'', but perhaps especially [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N00rA1aFwJI the large spider]].
* Beezy J. Heinous on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''.
** Also, Cerbee.
* The six-limbed otter-penguins from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' are known for this, but the koala-sheep really take the cake.
** For some people, season 1 Zuko.
** Meelo from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' was initially designed as a conventionally cute toddler, but the team fell in love with Ryu Ki-Hyun's uglier designs. A direct quote from SDCC: "Strangely though, the more ugly he was the cuter he became."
* Eduardo from ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''. He may be an imaginary monster, but he's also a LovableCoward. Aaaaaaw!
** Eduardo's not Ugly Cute, he's just cute. He's a big, furry, snugle-thing who is more sensitive and downright shy than most children, he's almost a RidiculouslyCuteCritter if not for his size. He's like a giant teedy bear. Actually Eduardo probably ''is'' what a Carebear would look like if you fed it steroids till it was John Cena sized. And if you think about it, he makes sense: imagine you're a small, weak, introverted girl probably hitting puberty for the first time (like his creator)...what is your ideal best friend-defender-boyfriend? A giant, cuddly, protective man-monster with pro wrestler-like biceps and a sweethearted streak who likes hugs and tea parties.
** Considering how varied most of the residents of Foster's are, there's plenty of friends that qualify for this.
* The Businessmen from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''. They're blue and have unsightly freeze burns, but come on, they're [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot essentially zombie businesspeople]]! Their leader is voiced by Creator/BrianPosehn. And friendly, too. ("Looking for help, your business? We love work for you.") Just don't [[BerserkButton fire them]].
** The Ice King. He's an old, skinny man, has a long nose and a gravelly voice, and a shaggy beard... but many fans think he's adorable and want to hug him. Perhaps it's the little beady eyes, the tiny pointed fingers and teeth, derpy personality, and cuddly beard that make him cute? It doesn't hurt that he has a sad backstory and is a huge [[TheWoobie woobie]] whose greatest desires are friends and companionship.
** Cinnamon Bun. He's a cinnamon bun. But he has a really gonky-looking face and an adorably affable and dim-witted personality.
* Moe Szyslak from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Just watch the episode where he is Maggie's babysitter. Awww!
** Nelson Muntz. Helps that he's a ''major'' JerkassWoobie.
* Dr. Doofenshmirtz from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''. He admits on the show that he's ugly, what with his extremely crooked teeth, hunched back and large nose. That doesn't stop fans from thinking he's adorable, or even [[EvilIsSexy hot]].
** Another one from the same show, the Super Computer from "Ask A Stupid Question". It's huge for one thing (to the point where most screenshots show it looming over the gang), speaks in a CreepyMonotone, and is overall [[UncannyValley really strange-looking]]. And yet, Isabella seems to think "He's cute!"
* Lessee, a lot of characters from ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim'' qualify. Well, there's Jim, bug-eyed and goofy, Peter Puppy (cute in normal form, ugly in monster), Princess Whats-Her-Name (ugly on her home planet, cute on Earth) Professor Monkey-For-A-Head who has a monkey grafted upside-down to his forehead with whom he constantly argues, Psy-Crow with his lack of pupils and his eye-blindeningly yellow space suit, Bob the Killer Goldfish and Number Four, and can't forget Evil the Cat and Henchrat.
** Doug Tennappel must like this trope... a lot.
* Runt from ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' is pretty much the canine mascot of this trope. Don't believe me? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbf-jC-ey5I&feature=related Watch ths.]]
* Breach from ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex''. She might be a four-armed hunchback but she is still cute. Being a JerkassWoobie doesn't hurt, either.
** Eventually she stops hiding her face behind her hair, and it turns out it's a rather pretty one. This doesn't change the fact that she has a pair of extra arms that would be too big for a person five times her size, and the weight of those extra arms have given her a permanently hunched-over stance.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Twipsy}}''. He may look like Picasso's rejected sketch but he's so darn cute.
* ''WesternAnimation/UglyAmericans'' has Doug the Koala man.
** Martin (well, at least his left head).
*** YMMV with man-birds, but just [[http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j111/DestroX71689/babymanbird.png look at]] one of their babies!
* [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Stimpy]]. Ren is debatable, but he too has his moments.
** John K. ''loves'' this trope.
* The squids in ''WesternAnimation/{{Squidbillies}}''.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' Kahn describes Bill this way when getting used to the idea of him dating his mother, "You know he's not so bad, he's like one of those little dogs that are so ugly they're almost cute".
* Batty Koda from ''WesternAnimation/{{FernGully|TheLastRainforest}}'' is just plain adorable.
* Fly Baxter in the 80s ''{{WesternAnimation/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|1987}}'' cartoon is surprisingly cute for a mutant manfly. He's pretty short, has big eyes, a pretty normal mouth, and wears a silly looking vest. Stockman's action figure, however gave him greater height, more prominent segmented eyes, mandibles, and a torn labcoat.
** It also helps how ''completely'' and ''disturbingly'' adorable this guy is. He's an {{Adorkable}} JerkassWoobie. Strange, considering he is (or was) an insane middle-aged man.
** Bebop and Rocksteady.
* ''WesternAnimation/NeighborsFromHell'' has the Hellmans, Satan and his little monkey-demon pet thingy.
* Zilla Jr. from ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries'', especially [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070713195857/godzilla/images/c/c0/Zilla_Baby.jpg when he was a baby]].
* Then there's the bizarre, smelly, and utterly endearing ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6dxjp0kcqs Garlic Boy]]''.
* Pick a character from ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals''. Any character.
* Ed Otter from ''WesternAnimation/BrandyAndMrWhiskers''..
* Bunny from ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', which was probably intentional.
* ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches''.
* Many characters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'' get this reception, when not thought of as being flat-out {{Gonk}}. With the nature of the show and varying depictions of them by the artists, they can be both:
** Jared is a short, middle-aged and overweight man cursed with FourFingeredHands and a long, wide oversized skull. Even so, it doesn't stop him from having fans that adore his cartoony appearance.
** Lord Stingray is never shown without his ExpressiveMask, and is often depicted with shark-like fangs and bulging eyes by certain artists. While intended to make him look more unhinged, his fans' reaction is more of this trope.
** Ash is depicted as horribly burnt and deformed, lacking ears and a nose. Later appearances put emphasis on his wide eyes, giving him a somewhat cuter look as his excitable ManChild personality was developed a little more.
** The Twins range from simply looking kind of strange with the BigOlUnibrow, to being much more on the visibly Gonk side or to this, depending on the artist drawing them in a given episode. Much like Ash above, the increase in "ugly cuteness" has to do with the later seasons, which at times depict them as seemingly younger and more vulnerable than their initial appearances.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Discord. There's also Snips and Snails, who are either this or {{Gonk}}s. Actually, let's just say that everybody in this show that isn't conventionally cute is this.
** Then there's [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Chrysalis]], who's basically a locust/zombie/vampire/pony mashup. And manages to look kind of adorable while still being terrifying. Even her changeling army, which are mindless, chattering insect drones, somehow manage to come off as cute.
* Molly Coddle of BumpInTheNight is a mismatched Frankenstein's doll, yet utterly adorable.
* The titular ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' and pretty much the enite Irken race.
* Peri and Entrée in ''WesternAnimation/{{Spliced}}''.
* Toyed with in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'' episode "Beauty And The Beetle," after Lydia starts to feel self-conscious upon seeing beauty commercials on TV.
-->'''Lydia:''' (''wistfully'') Am I...ugly?
-->'''Beetlejuice:''' You're not even ''pretty'' ugly!
** In the same episode, B.J. proceeds to show Lydia what ugly really is through the Neitherworld, but Lydia thinks everything's beautiful in its own way.
* Pretty much all of the monsters in ''WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters''.
** InUniverse, Ickis has a particularly bad case of this, as he basically looks a lot like a rather anthropomorphic red rabbit. He's pretty good at spooking humans from out of sight, but when they see him, a lot of people tend to start cooing over how cute he looks. This has caused more than a few "scares" to fail and he has quite a complex about it. Even [[SadistTeacher The Gromble]] has had a few laughs at how Ickis's looks undermine his efforts to be scary.
* The Serpentine in ''{{Ninjago}}'', especially Pythor.
* The Hub's version of ''[[WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies2010 Pound Puppies]]'' has Freddy from "A Nightmare on Pound Street", who is even described as "cute ugly".
* Wooldoor Sockbat from ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether''. He's also the most cheerful and friendly guy on the show, which helps.
* Stuart ([[spoiler:"Stella"]]) the scrawny cat with missing fur patches from ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheTick'' gives us the superhero Sewer Urchin. He has an oversized lightbulb-shaped head (though that might just be a helmet), is clad in two shades of clashing purple and blue, wears a yellow oxygen tank, sounds like Creator/DustinHoffman in ''Film/RainMan'', is covered in spikes ([[CaptainObvious naturally enough]]), and is explicitly stated to smell awful to all of the surface-dwelling heroes due to his home territory being, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the sewers]]. In spite of all these things going against him, he is also a kind of CrazyPrepared GadgeteerGenius who doesn't get enough credit and is oddly charming, as well as considerably more likeable than the {{Jerkass}} MilesGloriosus DirtyCoward Franchise/{{Batman}} [[CaptainErsatz pastiche]] Die Fledermaus. Inexplicably, Sewer Urchin and Die Fledermaus are best friends, possibly of the VitriolicBestBuds variety.
** The Mole Men.
* R.O.T.H. the [[CuteMachines Cute Machine]] from ''{{WesternAnimation/Motorcity}}''. The timid screeching it makes adds to its adorableness.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'': Rico. Especially because of how expressive his face is!
* Arthur, Lance's roommate in the WholeEpisodeFlashback of ''{{Sym-Bionic Titan}}''. Octus/Newton might also count. Possibly Tashy 497 as well.
* Anyone on ''SpongebobSquarepants'' who isn't marketably cutesy at least has a pleasant and appealing design.
* The eponymous character of ''WesternAnimation/MrBogus''.
