* An in-universe example in ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'' when Jay's writing staff said the first two ''[[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} Ghostchasers]]'' films didn't do well in Italy (not saying much that Jay hated those films) after Italians discovered that the title translated to ''[[YourMom Your Mother]] Has a Hairy Back'' and rioted by throwing bricks and [[CrossesTheLineTwice using Michaelangelo's]] ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice David]]'' [[CrossesTheLineTwice as a battering ram]]. Also, the [[MisaimedMarketing Ghostchasers underpants]] didn't do as well in Mexico as hoped, but [[NoodleIncident we don't get information as to why]].

* Creator/AdultSwim initially got a very low audience in Latin America, causing the dubbing of shows like ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Squidbillies}}'' [[UnfinishedDub to be discontinued]] and the block eventually leaving the region in 2008. While many of the shows (like ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'') managed to get CultClassic status among some Internet circles and were VindicatedByHistory, the shows themselves failed to have the same cultural impact that other adult animated comedies like ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', and even ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' had in the region [[note]]The latter two were still at the height of their popularity when the Adult Swim block initially debuted in the Latin America version of Cartoon Network[[/note]]. Other reasons for the block's the low ratings was that [[JustHereForGodzilla many viewers at the time were expecting to see anime shows in the block, just like in its US counterpart]]. It didn't help that [[InvisibleAdvertising it was poorly promoted]] and that the MoralGuardians of some countries (especially Chile, where a cable operator was forced to censor the block) disliked the idea of an adult block in a channel for children. Adult Swim first returned to Latin American television a few months later ([[NoDubForYou in their original language, with subtitles]] [[note]]Due to a policy that the channel has that foreign programs must be broadcast in their original language[[/note]]) on an Argentinian channel called [[http://www.isat.tv/ I.Sat]] which is mostly dedicated to indie and arthouse films, before moving to Creator/{{TBS}} in 2018 and then to Warner TV in 2020. Besides ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'', ''Hot Streets'', ''WesternAnimation/MrPickles'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Primal}}'' (the first two are available in the Latin American feed of Creator/{{Netflix}}), ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force'' and ''Robot Chicken'' remain as the only Adult Swim cartoons from the original Cartoon Network run to air on Latin American TV.

* In North America, where Disney's Ducks are mainly known as a cartoon franchise, ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' was very popular, with many fans in the region glamoring for the versions seen on the show to become the new "default versions" of the characters. Conversely, the show didn't really catch on in parts of Europe where [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse the comics]] by Creator/CarlBarks and the people he inspired are still very popular and widely read, with the new versions of the characters seen too alien and different from the classic versions. To put this in perspective, in Finland Donald Duck and related characters are popular enough for a ''weekly'' comic magazine, yet even by the time the series had finished its three season run in its home country, only the first 18 episodes had been dubbed and broadcasted and the tie-in comic was quickly cancelled due to low sales.

* ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'' and its sister show, ''WesternAnimation/BenAndHollysLittleKingdom'' are unpopular in Russia, especially the former. Although Peppa got a popularity boost between 2016 and 2018 thanks to her being a relevant meme character at the time, most of appreciation for the show was purely ironic, and even that kind of love has died down once the memes got [[DiscreditedMeme discredited]] for being part of an awkward period in Russian's meme culture. It didn't help that said memes failed to attract the show's primary demographic to it, since preschoolers aren't expected to interact with such kind of content to start with.

* In the United States, Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} goes toe-to-toe with Creator/DisneyChannel as the top-performing kids' channel, but in many countries, Creator/DisneyChannel and even Creator/CartoonNetwork are considered the more popular kids' channels, and Nickelodeon is distantly behind third (and often further, due to more public broadcasters in a number of countries often having their own channel for children). This is especially true in Denmark, Poland, Portugal, Italy,[[note]] Italy especially since the Nickelodeon brand (including Nick Jr. which usually does better in almost every country) as a whole failed spectacularly there and adding further insult to injury, there Italian division licensed their shows to Cartoon Network’s sister networks like the Italian feeds of Boing, and Cartoonito.[[/note]] and the United Kingdom[[note]]It's gotten to the point where the ratings of local cartoon ''WesternAnimation/HorridHenry'' on sister channel Creator/{{Nicktoons}} are not only higher than the all-sitcom main channel (it's ''the'' highest-rated show on Nicktoons, beating out other shows such as ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse''), but also airings on [[Creator/{{CITV}} its own home channel]][[/note]], where Nickelodeon is in dead-last place[[note]]Barring the UK, due to the fact that Disney Channel's ratings there drastically declined in the 2010s and ultimately culminating in Disney's decision to shut down their channels (barring Sky Cinema Disney and their non-Disney branded channels) following carriage deals with Sky and Virgin breaking down in 2020 in order to focus on Creator/DisneyPlus[[/note]], and taken to the extreme in Japan, where the channel shut down in 2009, but would eventually be resurrected in 2018. A big part of this is that MTV Networks in many countries insist on their Nickelodeon being on upper-tier packages (which leads to similar unpopularity for MTV), which can be especially a problem in places where terrestrial/Over-the-Air (a.k.a. antenna method) reign supreme, like the Mediterranean countries, though Greece and Spain are launching their free OTA feed, which may mark an attempt to remedy this problem.[[note]]Nickelodeon did however surpassed Cartoon Network in some areas like the aforementioned Greece and Spain, as well as Sweden, Germany, Russia, and ex-Yugoslav countries.[[/note]]

* Whilst ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' as a ''show'' is [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff widely loved in Latin America]], the titular character is ''loathed'' in that same region. Latin Americans generally regard Steven as a MemeticLoser, with fan works often portraying him as a {{wangst}}y fool who has no combat abilities outside of [[SwiperNoSwiping whining and pleading with his foes to reform themselves... which somehow works]]. Memes depicting Steven as negative or ineffectual compared to other, more popular characters, in the vein of the "WebOriginal/VirginVsChad" meme, are popular in Latin America. Latin Americans even refer to Steven by the hostile nickname "Gordo Mamón", which literally translates into English as "Fat Sucker". While Steven is often viewed as a VanillaProtagonist in the rest of the world compared to the Crystal Gems and is far from the most popular character in those regions, he typically isn't outright ''hated'' like he is in Latin America. It goes to the extent that the reveal of Steven as a playable character in ''[[VideoGame/MultiVersus MultiVersus]]'' led to excited posts from Latin Americans on social media about how much they were looking forward to playing the game ''just'' to be able to beat up Steven.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
** The show is disliked in Norway not only due to the [[AudienceAlienatingEra decline in quality]] affecting seasons 4-9, but also because they made a [[DuelingDubs new dub for the show in 2006]], [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks which wasn't well-received by the fans of the older dub]]. One the other hand, the younger generation who grew up with the new dub will in turn bash the older dub. Let's just say that there's a FandomRivalry of which dub was better. There also exist people who think both dubs are good.
** The show's later seasons (more specifically, since season 9) is disliked in Taiwan since most viewers hated the {{Flanderization}} of the casts, the overuse of WildTake and DerangedAnimation instead of clever writing and humor, and less [[AnAesop worthy Aesops]] along with hidden social commentaries compare to earlier seasons. People also hated the spinoffs since those ruined Stephen Hillenburg's "No spinoff" rules, thus ruining his legacy.
