Let's face it, some characters look odd. Something about their design makes them look ugly, or freaky, or... phallic. Or worse yet, maybe they resemble Blackface or the Ku Klux Klan. The design is obviously unintentional (or at least probably not intended by the majority of the creators), and not meant as a Parental Bonus or Getting Crap Past the Radar. The offending part is pretty obvious. And it is so distracting that it can never be unseen. See also: Fashion-Victim Villain (when the villain has an unconventional taste in fashion), Nude-Colored Clothes (when a character has the appearance of being naked because they wear clothes the same color as their skin), Accidental Innuendo (when a statement not intended by the creators to be dirty is still interpreted as something lewd by the audience), and Unfortunate Names (a character's name sounds wrong unintentionally). Will often be Nausea Fuel. |

There's absolutely nothing weird about Claude C Kenny's character design in Star Ocean: The Second Story when viewing his artwork, and it's pretty easy to tell he's wearing a beige jacket in the original game's sprites. However, the 2023 remake introduced a lighting system that alters the shading on sprites depending on the location. …And in areas with bright light the coloration of his jacket on his sprite is so close to his skin color that if you're playing on a small screen, his sprite sort of looks like he's wearing a virgin killer sweater with white tights and white bandages on his arms, especially from the back. | |

The Far Side: There is a comic of a sleeping dog dreaming of having caught a car and howling atop it, called "When dogs dream". Larson said later he drew in the car's transmission box where it was supposed to be, but when the editor cleared it to be published newspapers were inundated with mail from offended people thinking that the dog was supposed to be having sex with the car. The caption has been changed to "When car chasers dream" to rectify this. Gary Larson was flustered when a reader pointed out that an old woman he drew for the cover of In Search of the Far Side looked like a giant phallus. His editor responded, "So?" |

Two in Kamen Rider Revice: Giff is presented as the Greater-Scope Villain and Sealed Evil in a Can that the rest of the villains are trying to revive. Until they do, he's represented as a statue that's big, pink, and looks like a giant vagina. The main heroes, Kamen Riders Revi and Vice, can work in conjunction Two Men, One Dress style to act as animals; which can put them in pretty awkward positions. The worst is the T. rex combination, where Vice holds Revi by his legs and ends up planting his face in Revi's butt. Vice even complains to the audience about this the first time they do it. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Issue 247 ends with the Tails Doll transforming into a Mechanical Abomination set to take on Team Freedom. To put it bluntly, it looks like a penis and testicles with a vagina in the middle, plus tentacles. Luckily for the creative team, the issue in question happened to be the last one before the Cosmic Retcon-inducing Worlds Collide crossover, allowing for the creature to be redesigned◊ for its returning appearance after the event. | |

Digimon: The Data Squad version of Crowmon has a white mane that really stands out thanks to his mostly black and purple design. Said mane is braided into a single rope that dangles freely with a bell to each side of it.◊ Guess we should call the Data Squad version the four-legged crow. Also, the very un-wendigo-like Wendigomon from the first 02 movie has been compared to a minstrel show for its facial features. | |

Crash Bandicoot: Many of Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex's character models look infamously ugly compared to the PS1 titles, but Cortex really takes the cake because his character model's slanted, unmoving eyes combined with his skin tone and goatee make him a dead ringer for an old-fashioned Yellow Peril villain. Interestingly, Cortex's yellowish skin tone was retained in later installments despite his character model improving. In Crash Bash, Rilla Roo's facial expression was permanently locked into an ":o" expression, which, due to the limitations of the PS1, made his mouth look like a butthole, adding to the fandom's dislike for the character at the time. Ironically, Rilla Roo's ridiculous design ended up being Rescued from the Scrappy Heap over time as he gained an ironic following, to the point that complaints over his divisive redesign in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled led to the addition of an updated version of his original Crash Bash design as a separate playable character named "Fixed Rilla Roo", complete with the perpetual ":o" expression that made his original design so laughable. |

One of the issues with Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles's Splinter was his character design. While his short, pudgy stature was meant tio evoke Danny DeVito, but the smaller eyes make him look like he's squinting like a stereotypical Asian — which wasn't helped by his promotional key art was extremely unflattering and actually showed him squinting in exertion. | |

Hello Kitty: Hello Kitty's main pose is putting her finger to her... "mouth" as if pondering something. However, thanks to the lack of clear digits on her hands, it can easily look like she's flipping you off.◊ It's not just Hello Kitty, other Sanrio Characters that are typically depicted with no fingers (such as My Melody and Cinnamoroll) are sometimes seen putting their fingers near their mouths when they are curious, confushed, or deep in thought. But also looks like their flipping you off as well. |

Cheasel the Weasel's head and neck look extremely phallic. That they're constantly bobbing and wiggling around does not help. The texture of his brown fur has caused some to call him "poop rat" or "shitweasel". This is due to the cheap budget the film was made with. The original trailer shows a less unfortunate looking model, however the film had to be re-built from the ground up after the original version was stolen. | |

The player character in the NES game Code Name: Viper has the same three-color palette limitations as most sprites did in the era. Brown was used for his hair and outline and green for his jacket and boots, while a pinkish flesh tone was used for his skin... and his pants, which has the very unfortunate effect of making him look like he's undertaking his mission with no pants at all. | |

When the demon accidentally invades a Halloween party, the guests think that he’s a human dressed up as Blackface.

Silver the Hedgehog, whose debut in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) meant the addition of a third new main hedgehog to the series. Except one of the very first things just about everyone noted about his design is that his head quills look like a marijuana leafnote It's meant to based on the Japanese maple leaf, which happens to look like the cannabis leaf. This (combined with the fact he has a friend named Blaze) led to a lot of stoner jokes. One of the most notable was BrainScratch Commentaries coining the Fan Nickname "Pothead the Porcupine". | |

Kirby: Kirby Star Allies: The game's Big Bad, Lord Hyness, is an Ax-Crazy priest whose face is hidden behind a long, white, hooded robe. While his design is meant to resemble a stylized monk's habit, American players have noted a strong resemblance to the Klansmen. It gets more awkward when he is redeemed at the end of the postgame campaign, Heroes in Another Dimension, and still keeps the hood on. Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe: One of the new bosses introduced in this remake is Hydriath, an elemental Underground Monkey of Goriath who has a tendril of water spouting out of his head in place of Goriath's hair. The unfortunate part of this design happens when Hydriath Turns Red and "goes Super Saiyan", which turns that water a suspiciously urinary shade of yellow. |

Zorc Necrophades from Yu-Gi-Oh! has a dragon head on a long neck protruding from his crotch. It's meant to be an evolution of Diabound's snake lower body, but add on legs and it becomes... er... Takahashi was in the midst of a Creator Breakdown and had been hospitalized due to an ulcer at the time, which certainly explains a lot; he did try to rework Zorc's look in a collected edition, but the damage is largely done. Naturally, LittleKuriboh has a field day with this. | |

In Undertale when you first encounter Mettaton's second form and he appears from the smoke, thanks to the way the game's engine handles transparenciesm that area at his crotch looks way too much like a penis◊. Making things worse is the game has repeatedly played up how Alphys finds this form sexy and that it's an intentional in-universe case of fanservice. | |

Mario in the original Super Mario Bros. has eyes shaped like letter "L"s. It's possible they were supposed to look like they were reflecting light, but that doesn't excuse the fact that his head is permanently twisted at a 90 degree angle to the rest of his body. There's also Toad in the same game whose sprite could be mistaken for him Flipping the Bird at the player. |

In Crash Bash, Rilla Roo's facial expression was permanently locked into an ":o" expression, which, due to the limitations of the PS1, made his mouth look like a butthole, adding to the fandom's dislike for the character at the time. Ironically, Rilla Roo's ridiculous design ended up being Rescued from the Scrappy Heap over time as he gained an ironic following, to the point that complaints over his divisive redesign in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled led to the addition of an updated version of his original Crash Bash design as a separate playable character named "Fixed Rilla Roo", complete with the perpetual ":o" expression that made his original design so laughable. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ganon's sprite design◊ in The Legend of Zelda has confused a lot of people with some of his poses. Is he pretending to be a catgirl when Link walks in? This same game attempted to give Link irises and pupils. Actually, since each eye is two pixels high, he just looks like he has four eyes, which is talked about here. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: The Wizzrobe's design◊ is quite reminiscent of KKK robes, right down to the colour. Link's death sprite is rather... suggestive, due to the fact that his "recoil from damage" sprite has him holding his very short sword at waist-height and perpendicular to his body, and the death sprite turns it into a silhouette. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess's Ooccoo◊ is infamous for looking like it has four pairs of exposed saggy breasts because of some extremely badly placed markings combined with suggestive feather shapes. Bucha◊ the Kikwi elder from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is shaped like a scrotum. Really, the Kikwis as a whole look like scrotums, but Bucha most of all. As for the bosses in Skyward Sword, The Imprisoned◊ looks like a giant black pinecone with stubby legs and an anus on top, and Tentalus◊ looks like the chubby child of Mike Wazowski and Celia. The Moblins in Skyward Sword blatantly look like their anuses are exposed because of the way their scant, thin loincloth is designed, which is made worse by how the player is encouraged to stab them in the ass a lot when fighting them because they block their front with wooden shields, and there is a big height difference. |

The Transformers: Armada Hot Shot is a particularly infamous case of gimmick-induced silliness, as his Mini-Con gimmick involves plugging his Mini-Con into, well... his butt.

Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Gaim: The title character's Super Mode is primarily white with a pointed helmet. It's modeled after samurai warlord armor, but Westerners are more likely to associate its shape and color with the KKK. Two in Kamen Rider Revice: Giff is presented as the Greater-Scope Villain and Sealed Evil in a Can that the rest of the villains are trying to revive. Until they do, he's represented as a statue that's big, pink, and looks like a giant vagina. The main heroes, Kamen Riders Revi and Vice, can work in conjunction Two Men, One Dress style to act as animals; which can put them in pretty awkward positions. The worst is the T. rex combination, where Vice holds Revi by his legs and ends up planting his face in Revi's butt. Vice even complains to the audience about this the first time they do it. |

Super Mario Sunshine: There is a Dummied Out enemy that is essentially a three eyed giant onion with a suspicious looking hole that it poops out enemies from. Why Tramplin' Stu even made it past the concept stage and got semi-programmed is a mystery. Magikoopas usually wear blue robes, but Palette Swap versions of them appear as enemies in Paper Mario 64. One of which wears a white robe, and is described as "one of the magicians in the Koopa Clan" in its tattle log. None of these have anything on Smithy's "Magic Head" form from the remake of Super Mario RPG, which sports a pronounced Wario-like nose. It was hard to notice on the pixelated SNES version, but between the nose's placement and the clear high-res graphics of the Nintendo Switch make that thing look like the hardest part of the battle. Your mind doesn't have to be in the gutter to see genitalia◊. |

In Final Fantasy VI: Due to sprite limitations, the Finger Wag emote can be interpreted as a character Flipping the Bird. Emperor Gestahl, an old man with long white hair and a white mustache-and-beard combo, looks like a dog-headed bipedal creature. This is referenced in Final Fantasy XIV with a Shi Tzu puppy familiar named Gestahl. Kefka Palazzo's final form is clothed in nothing but a waistwrap. Unfortunately, one of the folds ended up in the wrong place, which makes Kefka seem like he's a little too happy to see you. This was promptly acknowledged by many, many people. This may have been subtly referenced in Dissidia Final Fantasy, after using his Ex-Burst, Kefka goes "That was titillating", implying he is actually getting off on the destruction. |

The figure of Beast Machines Obsidian has a tiny machine gun dangling under his cockpit. Since the cockpit is his chest in robot mode, this means that the gun ends up hanging down from between his legs... Thankfully, the toy's more cartoon-accurate configuration, in which his legs are "fused" together, makes this far less obvious. | |

Splatoon 3: The Inkopolis Square DLC introduced Fred Crumbs, the proprietor of the local shoe store. He's meant to resemble a Japanese dish called aji furai, which consists of a butterflied and deep fried fish fillet. Unfortunately, unfamiliarity with said dish combined with his... unusual shape means that to many people, he resembles a deep-fried scrotum. | |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The first action figures were set to give the Turtles tails, which their Mirage counterparts did have. While tails did work on the characters in the two-dimensional drawings, in the 3-D mock-ups, they ended up looking rather... phallic. So the tails were removed, and the Turtles have never depicted as having tails since. | |

Bahamut Lagoon: Yoyo's battle sprite makes it seem like she has a giant chin, due to her clothes' neckline making her neck look like it's part of her face. (Thankfully, gets a better sprite halfway through the game.) Diana wears a giant ribbon on her waist, but it looks more like a tail. Mist's map sprite is only one pixel long if she walks left or right, making it look like a plant stem. |

Final Fantasy: The popular recurring Cactuar enemy stands in a particular pose supposedly inspired after a Japanese EXIT sign, but some Western players think it looks more like a swastika. Zeromus's second form from Final Fantasy IV appears to have a massive, ribbed equine penis continually jizzing blood out of the end. This particular appendage was removed in the DS version. In Final Fantasy VI: Due to sprite limitations, the Finger Wag emote can be interpreted as a character Flipping the Bird. Emperor Gestahl, an old man with long white hair and a white mustache-and-beard combo, looks like a dog-headed bipedal creature. This is referenced in Final Fantasy XIV with a Shi Tzu puppy familiar named Gestahl. Kefka Palazzo's final form is clothed in nothing but a waistwrap. Unfortunately, one of the folds ended up in the wrong place, which makes Kefka seem like he's a little too happy to see you. This was promptly acknowledged by many, many people. This may have been subtly referenced in Dissidia Final Fantasy, after using his Ex-Burst, Kefka goes "That was titillating", implying he is actually getting off on the destruction. In Final Fantasy Tactics Ramza's sprite changes from chapter to chapter. His last costume contains pants that, due to the sprite artwork, look like they are totally skintight and riding quite far up his butt crack. The fact that the said outfit has noticeably less armor in the back doesn't help matters either. Fans of the series have affectionately dubbed the disturbing garments the Buttpants◊. Final Fantasy IX: Garnet's trance form in Final Fantasy IX has some design elements that bear an unfortunate resemblance to a bare bottom. Made all the worse by how lovingly well-rendered her (tightly) clothed bottom is even out of trance. Likewise, it wasn't such a good idea to give Eiko pants that are almost the same color as her skin, since it makes her look like she's nude from the waist down. Add to that the fact that she's six years old and looks very, very young and most fans react with Squick. Most other art and her in game sprites make her pants a much darker red to avoid this. The Stroper enemy looks very phallic. Zidane Tribal, at least in Dissidia Final Fantasy. The point at which his tail sticks out of his pants should really have been placed just slightly higher up in order to look like it was actually coming from the base of his spine; as it is, it looks far too much like he's pooping it out. Final Fantasy X: The diving suit briefly worn by Rikku has beige-colored segments in front of her crotch and on her ass, making it look like she's wearing a lot less than she actually is. The Final Fantasy X HD Remaster retextured the main characters in a more cartoony style that some players found fell straight into the Unintentional Uncanny Valley. A particularly common comment is that the characters, with plasticy skin and exaggerated lips, now resembled deluxe sex dolls. With Final Fantasy XII's character design being extremely realistic, Vaan's drawn-on chest... shadow... things seem very much out of place. Depending on who you ask, they either look like really odd sunburns, or signs of emaciation. Luckily, the Zodiac Age remaster fixes this. Dissidia Final Fantasy (2015) textures Exdeath's loincloth sash to have a weirdly regular pattern that makes it look like a pack of sushi rolls. The animation used for Cactuars in Final Fantasy XV gives them what appear to be really tight, cute butts. |

Magic: The Gathering: Uktabi Orangutan, a.k.a. "Sex Monkey." The flavor text even does some Lampshade Hanging on the position of the two monkeys in the background and a later parody card shows the two monkeys again, but now one of them is pregnant. The art on Gorilla Titan prompted the creators to give it the flavor text "I want a banana this big." Ekundu Cyclops depicts a female figure riding what appears to be a giant phallus (with the twin moons in the background as testicles). The Ninth Edition version of Paladin en-Vec depicts a knight wearing what appears to be a KKK hood. Even worse, it's a white knight with protection from black. |

Many of Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex's character models look infamously ugly compared to the PS1 titles, but Cortex really takes the cake because his character model's slanted, unmoving eyes combined with his skin tone and goatee make him a dead ringer for an old-fashioned Yellow Peril villain. Interestingly, Cortex's yellowish skin tone was retained in later installments despite his character model improving. | |

Ultra Series: The franchise has its share of monsters and aliens, and inevitably some of them ends up with rather... awkward designs. For starters, Mukadendar (Ultraman Taro) and Kendoros (Ultraman Leo) are supposed to be creative-looking with their bodies flipped around, but looks more like their heads are attached to their crotches. There's also Alien Buraco from Ultraseven, who is supposed to blob alien with arms and legs... but looks more like anthropomorphic poop. And then there's Alien Varduck from Return of Ultraman, whose head looks like a pair of scrotums. |

Arthur, King of Time and Space sometimes used the "triangle" art style of Gadzikowski's The Hero of Three Faces. Lancelot in the superhero arc was a Batman-like character called the White Night, who wore a white cowl.

Sonic the Hedgehog: The Carnival Night Zone miniboss, along with the bosses of Marble Garden and Flying Battery Zones in Sonic 3 & Knuckles suffer from rather phallic designs. It doesn't help the flames it shoots are also suggestive in shape. Silver the Hedgehog, whose debut in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) meant the addition of a third new main hedgehog to the series. Except one of the very first things just about everyone noted about his design is that his head quills look like a marijuana leafnote It's meant to based on the Japanese maple leaf, which happens to look like the cannabis leaf. This (combined with the fact he has a friend named Blaze) led to a lot of stoner jokes. One of the most notable was BrainScratch Commentaries coining the Fan Nickname "Pothead the Porcupine". |

Super Sentai: While Clotho's adult human and knight designs in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger aren't too bad, but her child form, which includes a pointed hood, has had many people, including Lewis Lovhaug when he reviewed Burai's debut and death arcs for Atop the Fourth Wall, to call her "the little Klansman". In Ressha Sentai ToQger, ToQ-Oh is built in a way that the Red Ressha can unfold and extend a large red cylinder from the mecha's crotch. Which would be bad enough if it were just something people could do with their toys at home, but it was actually used once in the show. |

Drakengard's wyrms have tails that resemble giant penises, not helped by the fact that the tail tends to dangle between their legs. Given a scene at the opening of Drakengard3, however, one begins to suspect it's less unfortunate and was more slipped past given a similar protrusion on a dragon explicity being the point where a dragon pees himself. |

Doctor Who has had more than a few unfortunately designed monsters: In "The Web Planet", there's a scene where a biological tentacle on a wall (called a "bio-gun" in the novelisation) squirts a sticky white web at the Doctor and Vicki before slowly going flaccid and shrinking. "The Krotons" features a Cliffhanger where a long, prehensile, biomechanical... thing with a slightly bifurcated head with a hole in the end shoots out of a hole in a wall and starts thrusting the Doctor to the floor. The Doctor gets around it in the next episode by having the end spray white fluid on a Mauve Shirt instead of on him. One of the most famous is probably the ambassador from Alpha Centauri◊ in "The Curse of Peladon" and its Sequel Story "The Monster of Peladon". The cloak they're wearing is a last minute attempt to cover it up. The complaint simply changed from "It looks like a giant dick," to "It looks like a giant dick with a cloak on." There was even some speculation that they could be a companion for a while, though the design soon put paid to that. In "Frontier in Space" the Ogrons are said to worship a hideous beast that fills them with terror. The designers created said beast, which unfortunately turned out looking unmistakably like a giant orange scrotum. The appalled director had to then rejigger the story so that the creature was shown only once and in very, very long shot. Davros' design in "Genesis of the Daleks" is great, so long as you aren't seeing him from the back, where the back of his chair is shaped like a hand flipping you off◊. The Organic Technology ship controls in "Terror of the Zygons" are very slimy, veiny and turgid. Tom Baker is clearly having a great time handling them as suggestively as he can in the scene which requires him to use them. This may be a theme with his take on the Doctor. (Later lampshaded in "The Zygon Invasion" in the Twelfth Doctor era, where the Doctor insists Zygon controls only work if you "titillate" them.) The infamous Creature from the Pit, with its many... protuberances. There was even a scene where, while trying to communicate with it, the Doctor picks up a longish, fleshy... thing from the Creature's midsection, looks it up and down, massages it slightly and then puts the end of it in his mouth, sucking and blowing on it. It is probably Accidental Innuendo. The costume designer and Tom Baker laughed about it in an interview with Doctor Who Magazine — apparently it had originally been even worse and the costume department had made heavy last-minute alterations to it to improve it, but were ultimately powerless to how badly the design had been botched up. The Vervoids in "Terror of the Vervoids", which look like either a) uncircumsized dicks or b) vaginas with prominent clitorises. A newsagent once refused to stock an issue of Doctor Who Magazine with an image of one on the cover on the grounds that it contained a "graphic sexual image". |

An episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus featured a scene where a man comes into an apartment to sign a man's severed leg. The reveal of the leg was from the knee down, making it look like a giant bell-end. Executive Meddling was mentioned in one of their documentaries. | |

The 2021 Kingdom Rattrap toy's design is a little too realistic. To make room for the robot arms, the rat form's rear end was expanded, resembling the enlarged testicular area that actual rats have. This in itself wouldn't be too strange, but the figure's round robot fists are fully visible, looking either as giant wrinkly buttocks or a pair of balls. Adding to the awkward design, the fists are colored a vaguely flesh-toned light brown, and in one episode of the original cartoon an angry Rattrap does tell one of his comrades to kiss his "pink, hairless..." | |

Shiro from Deadman Wonderland has a skin-tight bodysuit that's very close to the same shade as her skin, meaning that at first glance she looks totally naked apart from some body paint (which are actually patterns drawn on the suit) and it's even worse in the black-and-white manga since you can't make a comparison between the color of her face and the fabric and realize she is wearing something. | |

In Final Fantasy Tactics Ramza's sprite changes from chapter to chapter. His last costume contains pants that, due to the sprite artwork, look like they are totally skintight and riding quite far up his butt crack. The fact that the said outfit has noticeably less armor in the back doesn't help matters either. Fans of the series have affectionately dubbed the disturbing garments the Buttpants◊. | |

During D23 Expo 2022, Disney would unveil a special Mickey Mouse ear hat and Minnie Mouse ear headband intended to celebrate the company's 100th anniversary. However, the design they went with is um… questionable to say the least. The idea was that they've been splashed with platinum paint. However, many have noted it looks like they've been splashed by a certain white bodily fluid instead. The fact that the item description on the shopDisney site says Mickey and Minnie are "dripping with excitement" only makes it worse. Likely in response to this, Disney would quietly change the item description to rid the "dripping with excitement" part a few days after the intial listing, before they ultimately decided to delist both hats from the store shortly after. | |

Kirby Star Allies: The game's Big Bad, Lord Hyness, is an Ax-Crazy priest whose face is hidden behind a long, white, hooded robe. While his design is meant to resemble a stylized monk's habit, American players have noted a strong resemblance to the Klansmen. It gets more awkward when he is redeemed at the end of the postgame campaign, Heroes in Another Dimension, and still keeps the hood on. | |

Dune (2021) and Dune: Part Two depict the Shai-Hulud as lacking the petal-like pedipalps they are usually depicted with, having round mouths ringed with baleen-like teeth instead. Director Denis Villeneuve claimed the change was intended to make the Shai-Huluds' mouths look like an 'eye of God'. Many fans were quick to point out that it also made them look like anuses with teeth. | |

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Doublemeat Palace" had a demon with an incredibly phallic-looking tentacle that squirted venom at Buffy. And then Buffy's lesbian best friend chopped the tentacle off with an axe...

Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations gives us Luke Atmey, who has a particular character sprite that was supposed to be laughing crazily, but due to his left arm moving in a back-and-forth motion accompanied by a happy look on his face, more than a few gamers have said that it looks more like he's, erm... pleasuring himself. Daryan Crescend from Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, with his oversized, phallic pompadour with a patch of white on the tip◊. It's supposed to look like a torpedo, tying into his shark motif, but many fans like to joke that it just reinforces the fact that he's a dickhead. The fact that his hair droops when he's upset/worried only makes the implications more obvious. |

Zidane Tribal, at least in Dissidia Final Fantasy. The point at which his tail sticks out of his pants should really have been placed just slightly higher up in order to look like it was actually coming from the base of his spine; as it is, it looks far too much like he's pooping it out. | |

Family Guy: An in-universe example where Peter designs a toy called "Mr. Zucchini Head."◊ That "dances" (read: vibrates). There's at least two instances where they lampshade that Peter's chin looks like a pair of testicles: once when the FCC is censoring Real Life and they debate whether Peter's face needs to be censored because of it, and again in a much earlier episode in season 3 when Peter is stroking his chin in thought before it comes off in his hand. He exclaims "Agh! How did these get up here?", then sticks his "chin" into the front of his pants. |

The Cooking Mama spinoff Babysitting Mama comes with a doll that you have to stick the Wiimote into in order to play the game, which also requires use of the nunchuck attachment. Unfortunately, the hole where you stick the Wiimote is located right below the back of the doll's head, so with the nunchuck cable sticking out, it looks like your baby's hanging itself — especially if the wrist strap ends up around the baby's neck, as one YouTuber discovered. | |

It's made even better in Mega Man X4 when he yells what sounds like "titties!" when he uses the Shippuuga/Hurricane Fang move. Oil Man in Mega Man Powered Up is an Uncle Tomfoolery who resembled a blackface caricature in the Japanese release. International releases changed his black parts to blue and made his lips yellow, but it still didn't help that the character still acts like a stereotype. The Archie comic's depiction of Oil Man is blue with a red scarf covering his mouth at all times. In Mega Man 11, Impact Man has the ability to transform into a three-pronged piece of mining equipment with a disturbing resemblance to a fidget spinner. Rospark from Mega Man ZX Advent has a giant metal horn protruding from a very unfortunate place when he's in his unfolded form◊. The fact that he's an extremely flamboyant villain with lots of creepy dialogue for Grey doesn't help matters, either. The miniboss in Tunnel Rhino's stage, Hell Crusher, has a giant drill placed in a rather unfortunate area. |

Hellsing: One unit of Catholic Knights introduced in the last arc has uniforms accurately modeled after Spanish penitents (as seen in the picture above), which unfortunately is also how post-The Birth of a Nation KKK members dress. Hellsing Ultimate Abridged ran with this by making one of them an actual Klansman. There's also Alucard's glasses that make him look like he has goofily crossed eyes◊. Once it's been seen it can never be unseen, which can ruin a lot of scenes with the character, and it ends up being unintentionally so Narmy. Hi. These are my cactuses. I put googly eyes on them. |

Foodfight! In an early scene, when Dex Dogtective asks Daredevil Dan to be his best man, Dan starts... well, he's supposed to be crying tears of chocolate, since he's the mascot for a chocolate product, but just about everyone who's seen the movie will say it looks more like he's violently spewing feces from his face. Cheasel the Weasel's head and neck look extremely phallic. That they're constantly bobbing and wiggling around does not help. The texture of his brown fur has caused some to call him "poop rat" or "shitweasel". This is due to the cheap budget the film was made with. The original trailer shows a less unfortunate looking model, however the film had to be re-built from the ground up after the original version was stolen. |

Transformers: It's quite common for a Transformer to have some sort of unintentionally amusing crotch design. A particularly unfortunate example is Scattershot.◊ That silver-bordered black shape? That's a heat-sensitive sticker that you're supposed to activate by rubbing. And if that weren't bad enough, he can easily be mistransformed so that the nose and cockpit of his spaceship mode is protruding forward from there instead. The original toy of Megatron◊ is infamous for having a trigger on his crotch. A good number of Mini-Cons have unfortunately-placed Powerlinx connectors. The Transformers: Armada Hot Shot is a particularly infamous case of gimmick-induced silliness, as his Mini-Con gimmick involves plugging his Mini-Con into, well... his butt. This also results in a massive cannon swinging out of his body (his shoulders, admittedly, but that's still not great), which fires a red missile. Transformers toy designers don't seem to be all too familiar with dinosaur anatomy, as at least two such figures have gimmicks located in unpractical places. The Beast Wars Dinobot mold (and its repaints and remolds) has a rod sticking out of its cloaca that you have to push in to activate a feature, while Transformers: Cybertron Beast Megatron has a Cyber Key slot in the same place. (Apparently it's because tails frequently end up as arms or arm-wielded weapons in robot mode. Apparently, Hasbro didn't think fans would realize this means in beast mode you're shoving things directly where the sun don't shine. Which means, apparently, Hasbro doesn't know kids very well.) The figure of Beast Machines Obsidian has a tiny machine gun dangling under his cockpit. Since the cockpit is his chest in robot mode, this means that the gun ends up hanging down from between his legs... Thankfully, the toy's more cartoon-accurate configuration, in which his legs are "fused" together, makes this far less obvious. A good number of planes, such as G2 Smokescreen, have a design where the front part of the plane becomes the upper body, leading to a plane canopy in their chest and the nosecone on their crotch, but it's not especially noticeable. Beast Machines Ultra Jetstorm, meanwhile, has a long, flexible cockpit with a bulbous head, designed to "look around" in vehicle mode. In robot mode, it's tucked between his legs, but still has working joints and can hang low or point forward with relative ease. Yep, it's the first Transformer to have an articulated wang. TJ Omega released a video called "Top 5 Inappropriate Transformers" on this subject, featuring a variety of questionable designs, misbehaving gimmicks and oddly placed kibble. Beast Machines Silverbolt, a figure widely regarded as one of the least successful Transformers figures ever, turns into (what is said to be) a condor, but the robot head isn't hidden in the least, and remains visible between the legs. The head also has a tall, thin, tubular shape, and can easily swivel forward, making it look like the condor has a grinning erection. Even if you transform it according to the instructions, it's clearly a head coming out of a condor's butt. This could easily have been avoided, as the toy has a big torso-piece which the small head could have retracted into. In robot mode, the condor's head ends up on his belly, staring at his own crotch — not much better. Beast Wars Blackarachnia was made into a more feminine figure compared to her toy being a Palette Swap of Tarantulas. She later got a Transmetal II figure that was designed to translate more easily into the show, but the logistics of making a feminine figure had designers concerned about her looking naked, but ended up making her look like she is wearing a bikini. Furthermore, due to last-minute changes her Breast Plate was a last minute add on and able to be easily removed... with the attachment plugs on her chest in unfortunate places. Beast Machines Blackarachnia has enormous, unmovable middle fingers, which make her looks like she's constantly flipping others off. Ironically, this probably would have fit perfectly for her Beast Wars incarnation. It has been noted by some that Transformers: Prime Megatron's crotch looks like the face of the twins Skyquake and Dreadwing, two of his most loyal servants. Combiner Wars Silverbolt's two heads wind up in dubious places. Superion's head has his ears poking out of Silverbolt's chest, forming little rubber nipples: only mildly unfortunate. Where Silverbolt's head winds up in Superion mode: much more unfortunate. Transformers: Cybertron's Backstop was originally designed to feature a genuine left hand, but on the toy's final release, the appendage is formed out of his rhinoceros mode's rear end, and as many fans have noted, it's sorta shaped like a poop scoop. Since the rhino's tail forms his middle finger, he's also one of the few Transformers who can flip the bird. The Classics/Henkei Sideswipe and Sunstreaker figures have a pair of oddly placed circular details right on the bottom of their crotch that look fine from most angles other than the front. Fortress Maximus, who turns into a base, has an elevator gimmick controlled by a tiny red circular crank. Unsurprisingly for this page, when in his robot mode, the crank ends up on his crotch.◊ Bonus points: since the peg has a shallow handle, it makes him look like he has a Teeny Weenie. (You can even keep turning it while he's in robot mode!) The 2021 Kingdom Rattrap toy's design is a little too realistic. To make room for the robot arms, the rat form's rear end was expanded, resembling the enlarged testicular area that actual rats have. This in itself wouldn't be too strange, but the figure's round robot fists are fully visible, looking either as giant wrinkly buttocks or a pair of balls. Adding to the awkward design, the fists are colored a vaguely flesh-toned light brown, and in one episode of the original cartoon an angry Rattrap does tell one of his comrades to kiss his "pink, hairless..." A lot of bootleg transforming dinosaur toys have their dino-heads ending up in questionable places in robot mode, hence Transformers fans dubbing them "Dinocock Prime". |

The design of the Dreadknight, which has its pilot mounted on the chest wearing a harness. Fans have derided the design as looking more like a baby carrier...or a certain dodgeball robot. | |

And then there's Alien Varduck from Return of Ultraman, whose head looks like a pair of scrotums. | |

The Nutcracker in 3D: More than a few viewers have noted the resemblance of Tinker the Clown to John Wayne Gacy in his makeup. | |
