Cartoons have historically explored the universal human experience of feeling unwanted, invisible, or socially inadequate through relatable characters facing rejection, bullying, and self-doubt, ultimately conveying that these feelings are common and that self-worth should not be defined by others' perceptions or physical appearance.

When Cartoons Hit us hard About Feeling UnwantedAdded:
Now return to Major League Baseball with one distractingly ugly guy behind home plate.
>> It's two to two in the bottom of the sixth and I just can't get my eyes off that man with the tall head.
>> It's quite a game, but man, that guy is ugly.
>> Wow. Wow. I am truly alone in this world.
>> No, you're not.
>> Uh, thanks. Uh, anti-suicide DJ.
>> You're welcome. I care about you.
>> Uh, Mo Sizzlac >> very much. One of these scumbags is holding your mom's letters hostage. But who?
>> My money's on Jasper. He's ugly and ugly people are prone to crime.
>> I've always hated ugly people and now I know why.
>> Face it, Mom. No matter what I wear, I look ugly. I'll make you That's >> Look at me.
>> He's unattractive. Some lucky, hideous woman will be transformed by our makeover magicians into someone of value to society. Mag, that's it. You could get a makeover. Oh, that'd be just the thing to boost your confidence.
>> People used to think I was a monster.
And for a long time, I believe them.
>> We aren't ugly.
>> We're not.
>> No. Maybe we all just need a little image change. You know, like a makeover.
>> Hey. Yeah.
>> Like you. Maybe you just need to let your hair down and let's see how you look without those glasses.
>> Let's just put those back on.
>> Our whole lives, everyone's telling us we can't do this, we can't do that. Just sick and tired of feeling so small.
>> Oh god. Actually, what if they're right?
I never realized how sad and empty my life was until my friends pointed it out.
>> Going to believe this. Girls in our class have a list that rates every boy's looks from cutest to ugliest.
>> So, who do they say is the cutest?
>> I don't know. Who do they say is the ugliest?
>> I don't know.
Homie, I'm so sorry.
>> Thanks for the speech, Carl, but I can't give it. Look at me.
Could somebody toss a football back?
It's over there next to the ugly kids.
>> Ugly kids.
>> We don't like being tricked. Hey, what's so funny?
>> Well, you know, I was just wearing a disguise. You guys are stuck looking like that.
>> Hey, don't give up, Mo. The girl of your dreams has got to be in some bar.
>> Ah, there's no body for Mo. I'm just going to die lonely and ugly and dead.
>> Dear God, give a bald guy a break. Amen.
>> Yeah.
Hey, what the hell are you doing, you little freak?
>> Sorry, kid. Sorry. I'm not used to the laughter of children. It cut through me like a dentist drill. But no, no, that was funny. That was funny taking away my dignity like that.
>> I'll say, Gary, what's the count?
>> No idea, Bill, but you know that guy hasn't blinked this entire game. Just a deadeyed idiot out on a Thursday afternoon.
>> You're dumb as a mule and twice as ugly.
>> Oh god, I'm ugly.
>> Then I'll have the sweet and sour rice.
It's over. Give the ugly kid a banana crap.
It's not fair. It's not fair. I tell you.
>> Mom, Dad, am I ugly?
>> Oh, of course not, sweetie.
>> Yeah. Where'd you get a stupid idea like that?
>> Craig Hoffman.
>> Craig. Craig Hoffman said that. Well, he's a sharp kid. You might be ugly.
>> They put a sticker over my face.
Hey, Steven.
What? K. Ah, for the love of Jeff.
Ah, am I really that ugly?
>> Well, it's all relative. Is Lenny really that dumb? Is Bonnie that drunk? Is Homer that lazy, bald, and fat?
>> Oh my god, it's worse than I thought.
>> See, this is why I don't talk much.
>> See the twisted creatures that dwell within. Meet Cubal, the man with no hair.
>> Huh?
>> He's hideous.
>> You're not going to love me as much cuz I'm ugly and bald.
Look at that ugly old man.
>> That's you.
>> You can't depend on women. You can't depend on anyone. Sooner or later, you need to learn that no one else is going to take care of you. And so you see, Kyle, it is actually the beautiful kids who are cursed.
>> But I can't wait to be an adult to be happy. That's forever from now.
>> Man, you go through life, you try to be nice to people. You struggle to resist the urge to punch them in the face. And for what? For some pimpy little puke to treat you like dirt.
Well, I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. I mean, not that fancy storeboard dirt. That stuff's loaded with nutrients. I I can't compete with that stuff.
>> My daughter needs a makeover like there's no freaking tomorrow.
>> How's dad today?
>> Not too good, Lisa.
Frankly, he's underneath the table.
>> Nobody make me any breakfast.
>> I guess I could give it a try. All right, here he goes. Hi, Craig. Um, I I was wondering if maybe you'd want to, I don't know, go out sometime, >> huh? That's about as likely as me playing by someone else's rules besides my own, which I would never do. I play by my own rules. Nobody else's. Not even my own.
>> How about a movie?
>> I don't go out with dudes.
>> I don't know, home. A woman can smell panic. And uh, right now, I got to be of it.
>> Uh, you look pretty clean. You uh mind if I had this dance?
>> It's all yours. Ha.
>> Okay, I won't lie to you. A lot of people saw that. But you got to keep trying. Hello.
>> I just want you to know that I'm fine.
>> Uh-oh. People only say they're fine when they're not fine.
>> You okay? Everything's fine. Mom.
>> Uh-oh. Yeah. Everyone knows fine is a cry for help.
>> Don't want me to be with you. You don't want me to be with someone else. How miserable do I have to be before you're happy?
>> I'm undesirable. I'm losing him. What will I do?
>> It is the room of Nemo, the first of our siblings. He too was special. As you were built to give love, Emo was built to receive, but he could not think outside his programming and was blinded by his need. Such as the cruel physics of love that those who crave it most will repel it. And only the dang rich get richer.
>> Look at this guy. Check out the sunken lifeless eyes. The foul stench of decay.
You know what that means?
>> Means he's evil, I guess.
>> Well, evil, sure, but mostly he's unattractive. And unattractive people are desperate.
>> Ta.
>> How?
>> Yeah. Isn't his great now? There's nothing keeping us apart.
>> No, it's not great.
>> Our first fight. This is so us. We're like an old married couple.
>> Look, there is no us, okay? There will never be an us.
>> But >> old man has no idea.
>> This is a joke. I'm not laughing.
>> Some nerve telling us how to run the plant. He doesn't even have hair.
>> A dragon warrior fell out of the sky on a ball of fire. When he walks, the very ground shakes.
>> One would think that Master Uguay would choose someone who actually knew Kung Fu.
>> Yeah. or could at least touch his toes >> or even see his toes.
>> Oh, for five minutes.
Could you not be yourself for five minutes?
>> I really do feel bad for you, but kids just don't want ugly. So, I'm not sure where you belong, but it's not here.
Which means you can make yourself look as scary as you want. Sorry for hitting you, by the way.
>> We about to put the boo in booya.
>> How do we look?
>> Not bad. Not bad.
>> My turn.
>> No, no need. Your face is gross enough as it is.
>> Yeah, pretty accurate.
>> Driving is super ugly.
>> Looks old and broken down.
>> Hey, with flabby tires.
>> Peta, take a look at your daughter.
>> This is me. I got a makeover. Dad, don't I look great?
>> Oh, me. Honey, I always thought you were beautiful. Just the way you Oh god. Couldn't do that with a straight face.
Welcome. Try fish sticks. This sucks.
Quickly rub dog.
>> If I had hair, you wouldn't be calling me that.
>> Oh, you just let me know if you need any. How do these jeans look?
Yes.
>> Hey, I just got my license.
>> Hey, I'm getting my neck.
>> Hey, I doubt it.
>> Okay, >> doctor, you have wonderful eyes.
>> She's lost her mind.
>> Oh, it's funny. When you look at someone through rosecolored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags.
>> What the hell is wrong with you?
>> Nothing.
I'm a desirable fullbodied woman, but nobody will have and I have so much love to give.
>> Look, I have a right to be >> Maybe because you're skinny and maybe because you're pretty, you're used to getting away with things, but I want you to know that your actions have an effect on others and I hate you.
>> Wait, what?
>> What? What? What part of you pay me $600? Do you not get >> the part where we don't have?
>> You get to say we did, which is like half the reason men have. You really think this is going to work?
>> Pam, look at me.
>> That's a lot of money.
>> Not compared to rotator cuff surgery, which you're going to need after the jillion high fives you give your little bros.
>> Okay, I'm in.
>> Gee, Squidward, people really seem to be noticing how handsome you are now. You might even be more handsome than before.
Ah, so handsome.
>> If that's even possible.
>> Now that he knows he's good-looking, he doesn't have to make any effort to be special.
>> No, Rebecca's just a friend. I want to be with you now.
>> Chatting with them on the phone and buying them shoes. He will most likely marry very young and not realize until age 40 that he's a total douche.
>> Morons. Pathetic morons in my employee stealing my precious money. This is hopeless. None of these cretins deserves a promotion. Wait, who is that young go-getter?
>> Well, it sort of looks like Homer Simpson, only more dynamic and resourceful. Simpson, our new junior executive. Bring him to me.
>> Attention, Homer Simpson. You have been promoted. You are now an executive. Take 3 minutes to say goodbye to your former friends and report to room 503 for reassignment to a better life.
But for once in my life, I just want to look normal. But you're better than normal. You're abnormal. If you ask me, you shouldn't care what other people think.
>> You're right. I'll start by not caring what you think. I'm getting the surgery.
>> Quasi, take it from an old spectator.
Life's not a spectator sport. If watching is all you're going to do, then you're going to watch your life go by without you.
>> So, Leela, do you want to be like us, or do you want to be like Adlay with no severe mental or social problems whatsoever?
That's the dumbest question I ever heard. Clyde's number one. B, I'm the cutest. And then Token and then me. I'm number two. Wow. Hey, Kyle. Look, man.
It doesn't matter what people think, okay? You know, Abraham Lincoln was super ugly, too. But look what he accomplished. up, cowboy. Hey, what's going on? Yeah. U L Y and that's the true >> think the meaning of life is >> work. It's important to be useful.
>> Work. It's important to be useful.
>> Oh, so big deal guys. You feel better now? Clyde's the best looking kid in the class. And then Token and Stan. And last is Francis Cartman. And the girls think I'm better looking than you. Cap.
Me.
You're last. Dude.
Carbon. Layoff. You're next to last. So I'm hotter than Cal.
>> I'm last. Last. Dude, it's just a stupid list. Remember? I got voted the ugliest boy in the whole class. Who cares what dumb girls think, right?
My teacher tells me real beauties on the inside.
>> That's just something ugly people say.
>> He doesn't walk very good, does he?
>> Dumper, what did your father tell you this morning?
>> If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all. Mo, have you ever felt unattractive?
>> No.
>> What beautiful blossoms we have this year.
>> But look, this one's late, but I'll bet that when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of all.
Betty, >> it's good to see you, Simon.
It's good to be seen.
