And Call Him "George"	comment	Aww, isn't this little guy cute? I'm gonna take him home and hug him and kiss him and squeeze him with all my heart and be such a great friend and... ...and for some reason he fell asleep. You OK, little guy? Little guy...? Named after the character Lennie Small, in John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, this is a subtrope of Does Not Know His Own Strength, in which a large, but (usually) non-malevolent monster just wants to express their love (typically by hugging) for something much smaller than them â€” without being aware of how much their love is harming it. This can also be done by a character with Cumbersome Claws regardless of overall strength. Usually played for laughs, although there are exceptions. Possibly a deconstruction/satire of the Gentle Giant. If the monster is a human, this may be the way they tame Fluffy. If not, it is a type of Non-Malicious Monster. This trope, like Fluffy the Terrible, Grotesque Cute, Enfante Terrible, Killer Rabbit, and Psychopathic Manchild, plays off the conflict between "cute" and "terrifying." Compare Black Comedy Animal Cruelty, where intentional animal abuse is Played for Laughs. If the hugging is intentionally meant to cause pain or even a Dramatic Spine Injury, that's a Killer Bear Hug. Also contrast Lacerating Love Language, when violent acts are how a character expresses their love. This is Truth in Television: "cute aggression", to give it its technical name, is a measurable behavioural phenomenon. This Trope is not to be be confused with naming conventions of Sleeping Car Porters.

And Call Him "George" / int_10e9182d	comment	In the "Night of the Living Pets" segment from the Tales from the Crypt parody "Toons from the Crypt", she is seen looking through a photo album of deceased pets, including a fish that she didn't realize couldn't live out of water, and a horse that jumped off a cliff after she screamed in its ear. Said pets end up coming back as zombies to try and get revenge, only to endure more torture from Elmyra. Fortunately, this was only a nightmare.

And Call Him "George" / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½: When RyÅ�ga hears (Shampoo impersonating) Akane tell him she loves him, he goes mad with joy and pursues her, intending to give her a big hug. Akane, for her part, thinks he's being mind-controlled (long story) and is absolutely horrified when she sees him destroy half the landscape pursuing her. Realizing that a hug from him would crush her, she escapes and trades places with Ranma, who is resilient enough to be only slightly squished when he embraces her. Played straight. RyÅ�ga's on the receiving end when he's kidnapped in his piglet form by Azusa Shiratori of the Golden Pair, who steals anything she considers cute (animals and inanimate objects alike) and give them cute French names like FranÃ§oise or Charlotte. Akane takes P-Chan (RyÅ�ga's pig form) to bed with her. HappÅ�sai decides to steal a turn and spends an entire chapter fending off Ranma and RyÅ�ga only to learn — a bit too late — that "sweet lil' Akane" tosses and turns in her sleep, and gets pummeled. The following dialogue ensues; One author has noted that this makes her a perfect fit for Ranma's Unconscious Objector sleep pattern.

This time she's safely thrown through a window of her house into her own bed. In an earlier scene, the girl, after throwing all their petals in the well and making their wishes, asks, "What will we throw in now?" Cue the Monster's Aside Glance.

And Call Him "George" / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Looney Tunes shorts: The Trope Namer was shorts with Hugo the Abominable Snowman, a furry giant who would "adopt" fuzzy animals (like Bugs) and nearly smother them with adoration as a riff on Lennie from Of Mice and Men. He would always call his new pet "George". One version of this trope that originated the Trope Namer before Hugo took over occurred in "Hoppy Go Lucky" (1952), in which Sylvester the cat tries to catch Hippety Hopper as a pet for his large, warm-hearted if dumb friend Bennie, who also appeared with a cat named George in "Cat-Tails For Two" (1953). In a neat twist, Bennie calls Sylvester "George", even going so far as to utter the immortal line, "But I can't say 'Sylvester', George." Junyer Bear is a classic embodiment of this. In "A Bear for Punishment", Junyer is determined to give dear ol' Dad a memorable Father's Day. At one point, he tries to give his father a shave with a jagged straight razor. A moment later, he tells his mother, "Ma? Pa won't talk to me. I nudged him and I nudged him... he's awfully still." Subverted a moment later when a tattered arm reaches through the door and yanks Junyer back through it, followed by the sound of Pa beating the crap out of his son. "Pa is all right now, Ma!"

And Call Him "George" / int_2e3e7ac2	comment	Justice League: In Cheetah's first appearance, it was implied that Solomon Grundy killed her this way — but then she was shown alive, in hand-cuffs. Earlier in the episode, when Batman exposed her to the members of her criminal team as the "traitor,", she was "given" to Grundy and was shown being dragged out of the room, screaming. However, despite the implied death, the end of the episode featured an ensemble picture of the villains being loaded into a police vehicle, including Cheetah. Word of God states this was an accident, the intention was for everybody to assume she had been "petted" to death, but it allowed her to make a few future appearances in various episodes. In the episode "Only a Dream", Superman is subjected to a dream where his strength is out of control. His attempt to hug Jimmy Olsen in joy snaps the kid like a twig. Given that the dream is his worst nightmare, it's Played for Drama.

Electra loves running more than anything, so when riding classes start, she's enthusiastic about being able to share that thrill with a child. So when someone gets on her back, she flat-out gallops, with absolutely no regard for the terror the six(?)-year-old kid is feeling or the fact that he hasn't ridden at all before. This gains her a reputation for being unrideable.

The protagonist initially has no idea that her grandfather is Hot-Blooded and a Doting Grandparent because he holds his real personality back out of fear of accidentally killing her.

It gets better: Jake morphs into a Howler and finds out they have a Hive Mind and are personally killed off by Crayak to ensure they don't remember death. He retaliates by downloading his own memories into another Howler — including his and Cassie's First Kiss. This throws off the whole killer race thing, as the Howlers now try to kiss everything into total submission. Whoops.

Even at five years old, Linlin was already much bigger than even normal-sized adults, which, combined with her Ambiguous Innocence and hunger-crazed rampages, was not played for laughs. When trying to spank a full-grown bear like you would a naughty child, Linlin killed the poor beast in one hit. Her idea of "helping" her non-human playmates was to simply tear off their abnormalities, and would have done it had no-one stopped her. It's strongly implied that Linlin ate the other residents of her orphanage while on a "Hunger Rampage".

Both don't mix too well; Alfabusa has said he was quite generous with his hugs on his return, and that many of the hugged Space Marines needed to visit the Apothecary afterwards. What we do see on screen is the massive bear hug Magnus gets, and despite the fact he's another Primarch and also mostly incorporeal he starts screaming in abject pain. We get this line in the spinoff show after Vulkan starts hugging a Raven Guard Space Marine.

Definitely Crosses the Line Twice.

She was honestly confused when the adorable animals she meant no harm towards objected to being put in too-small cages, bathed via near-drowning, and other overly-affectionate acts. Her bow is decorated with a small gerbil skull (some fans believe that the skull in her bow is the skull of her very first pet, who died when she was little). In the "Night of the Living Pets" segment from the Tales from the Crypt parody "Toons from the Crypt", she is seen looking through a photo album of deceased pets, including a fish that she didn't realize couldn't live out of water, and a horse that jumped off a cliff after she screamed in its ear. Said pets end up coming back as zombies to try and get revenge, only to endure more torture from Elmyra. Fortunately, this was only a nightmare.

"You know, I had a little friend once — but he don't move no more!". At which point Screwy Squirrel (the "little friend" in question) pulls a sign saying "Sad ending - Ain't it?" Noticeably, this is the last Screwy Squirrel Cartoon chronologically. Avery did a series of cartoons with George and Junior, a vaguely bear-like pair closely modeled after George and Lenny. Junior's regular screw-ups required him to bend over for George to kick his ass. This was actually the censored version. A more controversial version had Junior turning around so that George could shoot him in the head— exactly like the ending of the book it was referencing. It was presumably changed due to a case of Dude, Not Funny!.

At one point, he tries to give his father a shave with a jagged straight razor. A moment later, he tells his mother, "Ma? Pa won't talk to me. I nudged him and I nudged him... he's awfully still." Subverted a moment later when a tattered arm reaches through the door and yanks Junyer back through it, followed by the sound of Pa beating the crap out of his son. "Pa is all right now, Ma!"

And Call Him "George" / int_e8d13e52	comment	In Urusei Yatsura, one of the reasons Tobimaro rejects the affections of his would-be love interest Asuka is because she is so strong that she tends to break his bones when she hugs him. The other very important reason is that she's his little sister. Initially, Lum was going to lose control of her Shock and Awe powers whenever she hugged Ataru; when she first returns in the manga's third chapter, she hugs him three times, and shocks him each time. The 1981 anime adaptation even includes a unique scene in its 5th episode where it's stated that Lum's "expressions of love" have been repeatedly crashing the local power transformer. However, Rumiko Takahashi evidently decided that this wasn't a funny gag and so dropped it — it appears a grand total of six times in the manga's 366 chapters, vanishing entirely after chapter 112, and only marginally more frequently in the 1981 anime.

Relieved that he's okay and that he doesn't think her monster form is scary up close, she lovingly squeezes him in her hand...which causes him to pass out from the pressure. Unpleasant for him, but fortunate for her, as this allows her to change back while he's out cold without him discovering her Secret Identity.

Fran is not at all pleased by this overt display of affection from this stranger. Not helping matters is that afterward (in a montage added in the manga and later on the anime), Amanda is seen stalking Fran all over Alessa. As it turns out, the reason for why Amanda is so affectionate towards Fran is that she was her adoptive grandmother, having known both of Fran's parents when they were young.
