Who'd have thought that smart and quirky would become the new sexy
Ah! I'm a nerd.
Ohh! So am I.
Welcome to Watchmojo.com
And today we are counting down our picks for the top ten Adorkable TV Characters.
Can you give me the definition please?
For this list we are taking a look at characters that are extremely antisocial or nerdy
but still come of as adorable and endearing.
Pick up that platter tough guy.
Old Mr Cream puff?
[giggle] We used to date.
Wow, it is great to see you.
As king of the nerds
Joss Whedon is naturally suited
to write dialog for geeky yet complex characters.
Fred of Angel fame is the perfect example.
[Roar]
You're a vampire.
You're not in Cats.
After team Angel rescues this soft spoken Texan girl
from the dimension of Pylea.
She officially joins the gang.
How did you get here?
Hold on. Why don't you tell me where "here" is first?
Pylea.
The cute as a button Fred might not be the best fighter
and her social skills might be iffy after years in the demon realm.
You are not a monster too? Are you?
Nope. Standard issue science nerd.
But, She brings plenty to the table.
Being a genius in mathematics and physics
and possessing a big brain
kind hearth and delightful goofiness
I was gonna be a history major and then I took professor Cydell's physics class and well..
Winifred's a natural.
By the end of the first semester she was taking on -
You should see her now. Killer left hook.
I am Mindy
Obstetrics & Gynecology
In Mindy's mind the world is a romantic comedy
and she is Julia Roberts.
Mabe I'll do one of those eat, pray, love things.
Ugh, no, I don't wanna pray. Forget it.
In reality though she's more like the funny best friend.
Oh Hell yeah
Bye guys, gotta go.
Cheerful, self-assured.
But always getting into uncomfortable situations.
Mindy is nonetheless great at her job as an OB/GYN
and her warm personality encourages her patients to trust her.
I do do things that like move my life forward
Like... spinning, you guys know what that is?
Hey, even if she seems more like a best friend
The charming Mindy still shines like a star
and never stops trying to have it all.
I do wanna have kids, four of them
Jaden, Madison, Bree, and the little one is Piper.
Are you kidding me with those names?
You want a bunch of girls who work at the mall?
We'll gladly take her over the typical romantic lead any day.
I do the elliptical 45 minutes 4 times a week.
[office phone ring]
30 minutes, three times a week.
[car engine far away sound]
There is ah - elliptical machines at my gym.
[birds]
I'm planning to join a gym near my house, Ok?
Sedentary.
That's rude.
My name is Mabel
but you can call me: The girl of your dreams.
This is the character you just want to give a big fat hug.
What can I say?
I guess I'm just i-rre-sistible.
Every facet of Mabel is lovable
from her dorky sweaters to her giant braces
to her high pitch voice.
Never too far away from her twin brother Dipper
and her pet pig Waddles.
[pig sound]
Ah!! He said Mabel!
Either that or doorbell
Did you say Mabel or doorbell?
[Pig sound..Mabel?]
Woahhh!
Mabel is the kind of sibling you wanna have a summer adventure with.
It's my big chance to have an epic summer romance.
She never gives up on the people she loves.
Don't worry brother
whatever happens I'll be right here
supporting you every step of the-Oh my Gosh a PIG!!!
Can get out of a bad situation just with her creativity
and is always there to soften the mood with a joke.
You scallywag.
Did you hear that?
Forget about Clark Kent
Chloe Sullivan was the real superhero on Smallville.
Can I assume that that special ability has something to do with that...
super sized brain inside your head?
hh No
My nerd is all natural.
Even though she remained in the dark about Clark's powers for too long
This conspiracy theory journalist
was a crucial member of Clark's team.
As the intelligent, inquisitive, and impulsive member of the group.
He's playing BigBrother on all of the computers at the Daily Planet
All my work is under his cyber-lock and key.
With her text avid wit
she constantly helps the young man who will become superman
get out of scrapes.
Proving that sometimes brain is stronger than brawn.
I call it the wall of weird.
It's every strange, bizarre, and unexplained event
that's happened in Smallville since the meteor shower
Chloe also brings some much needed humour an soul to the equation.
even managing to pierce Green Arrow's hearth.
Sometimes I can be kind of cute too
You have one in particular that I'm partial.
You guys, you guys A+
On the surface
Seth Cohen might've looked like
nothing more than another nerdy and sarcastic best friend.
XO XO it's an unbeatable combination.
Oh! Oww!
Owwww!
Really though, he was the entire reason you kept watching the OC.
He's the one who always had the funniest lines,
scored the most interesting love interests,
and left people wanting more.
Good Lord, I think I'm gonna pass out.
You're not going anywhere.
Okay.
While most teenage drama usually have a token dorky character
Cohen was a kind of dork we hadn't seen before.
That makes absolutely no sense
but yes, we should go.
He was a hipster-dork
Making comic books and his half Jewish roots look cool
and even kind of hot.
Allow me to introduce you
to little something that I like to call
Christmaka
Yeah, we get dangerous. [laughter]
Growing up in the 1970s
A character like Eric Forman
had little chance of being groovy.
Got it.
But seeing how adorkable is so hot right now
He might have benefited from growing up today.
[laugh track]
Inspired by That '70s Show creator Mark Brazill
Eric is a geeky clutz
without an athletic bone in his scrawny body.
Donna's coming over tonight
So I'm just here to get my Berry White Album.
However, what he lacks in physical strength
He more than makes up for with
Sarcasm.
I want you
[laugh track]
I want you so bad.
[laugh track giggles]
Eric
It's a car.
[laugh track]
Of course, his inability to ever say the right thing
is usually what gets him into trouble.
Particularly with his long time crush
and girl next door "Donna".
I love you Eric.
[laugh track]
I love
cake.
[laugh track]
I just love television so much.
Sure, we considered Liz Lemon for this list.
And, I don't really think is fair for me to be in a jury
because I'm a hologram.
But, even though the princess Leia wannabe
is an undeniable dork.
No TGS' staffer is more adorable than Kenneth the page.
I wanted to see
Kenneth the page.
Woah! Kenneth the paage!
That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
He's a sweet small town southern boy
trying to make it in the big city.
There are only two things I love in this world
Everybody, and television.
And, while selfish people surround him every day
He never lets himself become corrupted by big business.
And is a perpetual optimist.
No.
I made two promises to my mother
before I left for New York
One, If I found any Mackenzies living up here
I would kill them.
And two,
I would not let this city change me.
Though we are still not sure how old Kenneth is
He is loyal, honest,
and prove that nice guys finish first.
[dog-ish squeal][Happy]
Ah, Hi. Willow right?
Why? I mean, Hi!
Buffy and her friends view themselves
as their generation Scooby gang.
Not legally.
If that's the case
Willow would definitely be the group's Velma.
Oh, I could totally help you out.
If you have sixth period free
we could meet in the library.
Or not.
There is much more to this overall wearing bookworm
than initially meets the eye.
A proud nerd and witch.
Willow acts as the gang's mother figure
and a key problem solver.
Oh, that's nice.
Of all Buffy's friends
Willow also maintains the healthiest romantic relationship
and undergoes the most significant character transformation.
You want to be punished?
I want to be Willow
Without her wit and support
Buffy would've been slain for good
by vampires a long time ago.
Back off.
I don't understand.
Bernadette might not get as much credit
as some of her Big Bang theory co-stars.
But she is truly the show's unsound scene stealer.
Role-playing games?
Like in the bedroom?
or like in Dungeons & Dragons?
With a squeaky voice,
red librarian glasses,
and her short stature.
I got into science cause I was always the smallest kid in school
I thought if I became a scientist
I could invent a formula that made me taller.
This PhD holder
looks like an innocent little field mouse.
The - committee accepted my doctoral dissertation.
I'm getting my PhD.
But, underneath that darling exterior
she can be unpredictably hostile.
Competitive, and diabolical like a mad scientist.
Yeah, I know.
It's probably because I grew up with five brothers and sisters
So I had to fight for every...
Oh My GOD!
You did not just slow down for a bird!
You know they fly, right!?
It's also quite possible
that she's working for an evil corporation.
I was head hunted by a big pharmaceutical company.
They're gonna pay me a buck load of money.
Nevertheless, Bernadette is still incredibly caring
towards her equally adorkable husband Howard.
We now pronounce you husband and wife.
[Claps][Cheering]
Acting as an ideal partner,
and comedic foil.
How much did this cost?
Aw, you let me worry about the money.
[laugh track]
I just want my baby to have pretty things.
[laugh track]
Before we get to our top pick.
Here are a few honourable mentions.
Hi, Laura.
[Laugh track]
I hear you can't get a date for the dance.
[Laugh track]
So, you wanna go with me?
Today I was so exited I dressed for gym.
Ah! You're kidding!
And I played volleyball.
With other people?
And I learned that all this time I was avoiding sports
Yeah?
Was very smart, because I suck at them.
Alex honey you missed the one.
I know!
I know I missed one,
I'm NOT an idiot.
There, happy?
Dick don't do this to me.
I never sleep, I'm exhausted.
Besides, you don't have the authority to alter the schedule.
I'm in command.
Yeah? Well, I'm in puberty pal.
[Laugh track]
That's what I want.
That is what I want.
Although adorkable characters were around
long before Zooey Deschanel hit the scene.
She popularized the word with "New Girl".
Did I do this? [nasal voice]
I'm sorry, did you say you're working on that?
But it's Urkel.
As Jess,
Deschanel is beautiful and stylish like so many other It girls.
Argh, what am I gonna do?
I guess I'll just have to use my eyes.
Hair, boobs, legs, and adorable personality.
Huh, Fool.
What separates her from the rest
its that she's also awkward, clumsy, and sing to herself.
A lot.
She's going out to find a rebound.
Who's that girl? It's Jess!
Jess exemplifies the fact
that there is something much more irresistible
about a person with weird quirks
Than one who's unrealistically perfect.
[Oww]
Farther, go farther.
She's a woman for a new generation.
That's able to see the value in being peculiar,
offbeat, and adorkable.
Yeyyy!
Bride & Groom
Make way! Huzzah!
Celebrate Love!
Get ready for a wonderful life of
merriment and joy!
Do you agree with our list?
I agree.

It's a good ring to it.

You gotta take off those overalls.

With my bucket.
