The town is small and filled with quirky, lovable characters. There is a strong sense of community. The audience is a little torn between wanting to live there, and being glad they live someplace else where not everyone knows your business. This trope is very powerful, perhaps reflecting a desire to somehow make this place exist, even if only in fiction. The Disney Main Street is an example of the strength this trope has to force itself into something like reality. Be careful, though, as it may have a dark secret underneath its quirky exterior. For quirky towns in TV series, they will typically begin with the arrival of some outsider authority figure, such as a marshal, doctor or FBI agent, who will initially be baffled by the inhabitants, but soon will turn out to be every bit as quirky as they are. Although quirky towns are usually small, quirky cities can exist as well. On a smaller scale, see Quirky Household. Generally free of Small Town Boredom, and anyone who says "Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here" either has lived there long enough that the eccentricity of their neighbors seems normal to them, or is just plain lying. Might also be a Cutesy Name Town. No relation to Crazy Town, the Nu Metal band who did "Butterfly." |

Parks and Recreation: Pawnee, Indiana is "Fourth in Obesity, First in Friendship". The residents tend to be pretty out there and odd (and often times not always very bright). Their politics (the focus of the show) are screwy. Their history is over-the-top weird and often dark (such as its relationship with the nearby Native American tribe). And the people utterly adore a little miniature horse named Li'l Sebastian (which outsiders like Ben Wyatt simply can't wrap their heads around). Ben even lampshades it in a speech on the town, noting that the people are weird, but are truly passionate for their town and its traditions. | |

The Narrator puzzles over their "Celebration of Specialness", because everyone in it is, according to him, completely normal, despite having a woman so rich she never gets out of bed, a woman who lies about everything in her life, a woman who is completely obsessed with cuteness, a lonely bachelor who is so desperate to get married he has a local television ad looking for a wife, the most important man in town haven't spoken directly with his wife for decades, despite still being married, and so on. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender showcases a few of these: Kyoshi Island has many residents with big personalities, including one man the fandom has affectionately nicknamed "Foaming Mouth Guy". The villagers of Makapu live their lives according to the predictions of the town Fortune Teller. Chin Village has a holiday called Avatar Day where they used to burn gigantic statues of past Avatars, and now celebrate by eating raw cookie dough. |

Dragalia Lost is about all kinds of different people moving together in a castle, where they all function as one gigantic Family of Choice. The amount of different and unique people who call The Halidom home has even sparked an unusual mana around it, making it unlike every other place in Grastea. Just one of the many reasons why it has attracted so many people and then some. | |

The eponymous Twin Peaks, which is arguably the Trope Codifier. Pretty much every townsperson is a little weird in their own way, even the Straight Man sheriff (named Harry S. Truman), and some of the town's residents, such as the Log Lady, cross the line from "quirky"" to straight up surreal. Arguably deconstructed, as the town also has a dark underbelly of drug running, prostitution, corporate corruption, and Demonic Possession. | |

Stampy's Lovely World: This applies to the entire world sans the Hailfire Peaks corner controlled by HitTheTarget, especially since a good chunk of the population are quite odd as well. For one, the animal population far outnumbers the human population, the town is filled with bizarrchitecture, and if we're counting Wonder Quest (which the Lovely World is semi-canon to) as well, there's a portal to another dimension in the basement of the Big Fancy House at the heart of town. | |

In Puyo Puyo, Primp Town has some... interesting inhabitants. Among them are a ditzy magician girl, a spacey blue-haired boy with a demon arm and a passion for Bug Catching, a significantly less spacey boy who carries around a possessed book, an effeminate skeleton, and a shy demihuman girl. That's not even all of them, either! | |

Half the fun of Animal Crossing is letting the player live in a Quirky Town. The villagers that move in have idiosyncratic personalities (For unexplained reasons, they like to wander around town and ask you what their catchphrases should be). Many of the in-game Non Player Characters have odd quirks to them as well. For example, the museum is run by an owl that talks a lot but is also terrified of the bugs you bring in as specimens. | |

El Goonish Shive has Moperville. Weird things happen in Moperville, courtesy of a high concentration of magic... but the quirky populace takes it into this territory. When you have an Intrepid Reporter that parachutes down just to get to the scene a little quicker, an Anime Style Martial Arts school, parents that feel the need to print out a map of the local Swedekea furniture store to prepare you for your shopping trip, and a still-operating video rental store, you're safely into Quirky Town territory. | |

Welcome to Night Vale: Night Vale, albeit with a lot more death and existential horror than most examples. It starts with people living their lives like having a "Sheriff's Secret Police" is perfectly normal. The town's hottest restaurant is called "Tourniquet." The community radio host often waxes philosophical on darkness and death and the insignificance of human life. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Ponyville. The first impression asocial city-girl Twilight Sparkle gets is "All the ponies in this town are crazy!" Considering that this is a town with a pony who will throw a party or sing a song for everyone who moves in, considers a bugbear attacking the city as hardly worthy of comment yet is horrified by a stampede of bunnies, and has an extremely lazy yet competent weather manager, she's not far off. | |

City of Reality: for starters, their mayor is a bunny rabbit (actually, what looks like a living sock puppet of a bunny rabbit, and that's not just an art style!). Hawk even goes to great lengths in order to test how close it is to being a Town with a Dark Secret, thinking that secret is pent-up rage. | |

Pushing Daisies basically runs on quirkiness. The town of Coeur d'Coeurs is home to a pie baker who can bring anything Back from the Dead with just his touch, two agoraphobic sisters who used to be synchronized swimming champions, and a waitress who is prone to bursting into song as just a few examples. The fact that many townspeople have an Alliterative Name (i.e. Charlotte "Chuck" Charles, Dwight Dixon) adds to the quirky aesthetic. | |

The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!: It's not so much that there's a Weirdness Censor in place in Generictown (Mr. Bystander aside), it's more that most of the folks in town just don't seem to care very much about the spaceships and bigfeet and unicorns and such. | |

The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw has the hill town Erries which is populated by the plucky sheep people. inexplicably the other sheep towns all have phonetically similar names such as "Arris", "Urray", or "Harriz." | |

Tama in The Demon Girl Next Door is treated as a safe haven for demons, and the local muggles have been seeing them so frequently that they're Fantastically Indifferent. So, in the beginning of the series: | |

In Bunheads, the town of Paradise, California has many Eccentric Townsfolk to say the least, though ironically they see City Mouse Michelle as the odd one simply because she was a showgirl. | |

Amphibia: Wartwood fits this quite well. A marshland village populated by a large number of Eccentric Townsfolk, it's generally characterized as a rural backwater where outsiders often have difficulty being accepted (and even more difficulty gaining their respect). However, they prove to be quite endearing nonetheless, and are fiercely loyal allies once their trust has been acquired. | |

Professor Layton: Basically every small village you come across and their puzzle loving inhabitants. St. Mystere in the first game and Folsense in the second. By the end of the game, you find St. Mystere's residents are all robots and Folsense is a product of hallucinogenic gas! | |

The Unstoppable Yellow Yeti: Winterton, a small town located deep in the Scandinavian Arctic and populated by an equally quirky cast of townsfolk. Loony Laws are rampant in the town, everyone lives in fear of monsters that they drive off by yodeling, and the traditional diet consists of beets washed down with pinesap served in a boot. | |

Gravity Falls: Sometimes it seems like the various monsters surrounding the town are more sane than the humans, who range from weird to borderline mentally disabled to outright insane, and are seemingly oblivious to the bizarre goings-on around town. There's a reason why the town is so weird; the Society of the Blind Eye has been using Laser-Guided Amnesia so much that most of the people are brain-damaged. | |
