The putto (known in plural as putti) is a figure in a work of art depicted as a chubby male child, usually naked and sometimes winged. Coming from the Italian word for the Latin word putus, or "boy" or "child", the putto was originally characterized as being metaphorical agents of fate, affecting human events invisible to those under their influence. With artistic masters bringing back Greek and Roman imagery in The Renaissance, the putti would find a revival in paintings and sculptures, Christianity adopting the winged putto as a cherub, a type of angel of Abrahamic religions, and non-winged examples associated with the Baby Jesus. More often than not, the winged putti are portrayed as a Cherubic Choir, flying en masse so that they could sing and play and be cute. Long after the Renaissance, modern pop culture often likes to portray the Roman god of love and desire Cupid as a winged putto, doing away with his association with sexuality in favor of a more chaste, innocent form of love. Because of this putti can sometimes be seen wielding a Sacred Bow shooting Cupid's Arrow. For an Evil Counterpart for the putto, see Enfant Terrible and Fallen Cupid. See also Babies Make Everything Better. Not to be confused with Filipino rice cakes or the Spanish and Brazilian Portuguesenote But not for European Portuguese, which simply means "boy". This causes a lot of snickers by Brazilians when they hear a Portuguese person talking word for a male prostitute, which are written with one T instead of two. |

In God Is Dead a cherubim is lamenting the fact that popular conception has reduced it from it's traditional angelic appearance with multiple animals to a little putto, least of all because now bartenders won't let him drink. He takes some solace in that he can use his adorable cuteness to literally mind control people into doing whatever he wants, such as murder someone that pisses him off. | |

On Parks and Recreation, Jerry makes a painting of Leslie as a Greek goddess; it also depicts Tom as a putto, much to his embarrassment. | |

Steven Universe: Aquamarines are a gem-type who are aesthetically similar to the idea of cherubs. They are about the size of a human toddler (though all gems are born as adults) and are characterized by having small fairy-wings made of water which gives them flight capabilities. The exact details of their intended purpose are never given, though the Aquamarine introduced in "Are You My Dad?" implies that they all have good memory and are aristocratic members of Homeworld's caste system and considered retrieving humans from Earth for the Human Zoo to be beneath her. More Aquamarines are seen in "Together Alone" pulling up the curtains for the Diamond's formal introductions, evoking imagery of putti accompanying goddesses (which gems see the Diamonds as). Ironically, the one Aquamarine that's been important to the plot is cruel and narcissistic. Vidalia's painted depiction of Garnet and Steven from "Pool Hopping" portrays both of them floating in pink clouds, Steven himself portrayed as a nude winged cherub throwing rose petals on Garnet. Considering Steven is a Messianic Archetype who acts as a positive influence on everyone around him, this is likely deliberate symbolism by the animators. |

"Golden Eyes" and Her Hero "Bill": Golden Eyes is often accompanied by a cherubic personification of love who appears as a nude, tow-headed baby with wings (and occasionally wearing a Brodie helmet). Though she's scrambling through trenches and risking her life driving a Red Cross ambulance through active war zones, the narration reminds readers that "LOVE" is always watching over her as she fights alongside her beloved Bill. | |

Helluva Boss: C.H.E.R.U.B. are the heavenly counterparts to I.M.P. Despite cherubs actually being the second-highest angel rank in Christian doctrine, cherubs in this universe are implied to be low-ranking, and are designed after putti in art, who were conflated with cherubs. While their leader Cletus looks like the typical young boy, the others are designed after cutesy animals like sheep and deer. In contrast to I.M.P., they protect humans at the request of those in Heaven. However, when they finally lose their cool and get into a fight with the imps, resulting in the death of the man they were supposed to be protecting, their superiors bar them from returning to Heaven. | |

In Warhammer 40,000 Cherubs are a type of familiar servitor (essentially a type of biological computer assistant) used by various imperial factions, from Space marines to Sisters of Battle to the Inquisition. They're suppose to be made to resemble Putti in appearance and are made from vat-grown baby bodies that are lobotomized and enhanced with cybernetics, which include a pair of fake wings and an anti-grav generator to keep them aloft. However the process is imperfect and the bodies often degenerate into looking like an angry, pudgy men instead of an angelic baby. Coupled with their animal-level intelligence this actually makes them kinda horrifying to watch in action. | |

In Hercules: The Animated Series, the love god Cupid is portrayed as something of a Manchild in a diaper and wings, while his cherubs looks more like the traditional idea of the putti. They act as his helpers not unlike Santa Claus and his elves, helping manufacture love arrows and distributing them all across Greece (and presumably Rome and some parts of Persia). They are all portrayed the same; blond-haired, high-voiced, dedicated to love and is accompanied by pigeon coo-noises. | |

In Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Larry and Amelia encounter a trio of stone cherubs (voiced by The Jonas Brothers) brought to life by the Tablet of Ahkmenrah. They do nothing but sing love songs in their direction, their role as love gods trying to encourage their budding relationship. Larry is unable to appreciate the music on account of the fact that at the time, they are trying to hide from a group of French soldiers out to get them. They later reappear after their First Kiss, continuing to serenade "My Heart Will Go On" to them much to Larry's annoyance. | |
