* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'': Eileen, who's a cute dorky GirlNextDoor and genuinely [[NiceGuy friendly]] has a crush on Rigby, who's a rude, lazy {{Jerkass}} towards her... at least at first. By the third season, he's warmed up to her, seeing her as a friend and slowly becoming a better person under her influence. It's then revealed in a WhamLine at the end of Season 6 that [[spoiler:they've been dating since ''at least'' the beginning of that season, but Eileen told Rigby to not mention it so Mordecai wouldn't feel bad about his many, ''many'' romance issues. The show's WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue at the end of season eight reveals that they married and had two children.]]

** In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'' Ron asks this about what Hermione sees in Krum. Harry immediately points out that he's a famous international Quidditch player, to which Ron responds "Yeah, but besides that!"

'''Donna:''' [[SarcasmMode You know, you're right, if only I could be with some handsome jock who was mean and shallow and didn't make me laugh]].

* ''Anime/{{Aggretsuko}}'': In season 3, everyone from Fenneko to Gori asks Haida just what is it about Retsuko that keeps him fixated on her, despite having been shot down numerous times and being presented a perfectly good substitute in Inui. [[spoiler: Haida admits that he's drawn by the little details about Retsuko that tipped him off that she wasn't just a generic [[TheCutie Cutie]], and he wants nothing more than to get to know her and learn what those HiddenDepths really are]].

--->'''Bernadette''': You and Stuart... why?
--->'''Denise''': I don't know. My parents own a funeral home. Read into that what you will. [...] Let me ask you a question: Howard... why?
--->'''Bernadette''': You got eyes. What do you think?

--> '''Bashir''': Personally I don't know what Jadzia ever saw in the man.
--> '''O'Brien''': [[DeadpanSnarker Well, his brains]].

--> '''Eric''' Donna? I just have to ask... why me? I mean there are so many other guys who are way better looking.
--> '''Donna''' [[SarcasmMode You know, you're right, if only I could be with some handsome jock who was mean and shallow and didn't make me laugh]].

-->'''Etna:''' Then tell me, what part of ''[[RoyalBrat this]]'' made you want to marry him?
-->'''Flonne:''' Um, uh. Well... [[ItsAllAboutMe How everything revolves around him?]]

-->'''Colette:''' Lloyd! You looked so cool!
-->'''Genis:''' I'm starting to wonder about your taste, Colette.
-->'''Lloyd:''' [[ObliviousToLove What's that supposed to mean?]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', during their team-up, Poison Ivy asked Harley what she ever saw in the Joker, and throughout the series appeared to be annoyed (with hints of [[LesYay jealousy]]) whenever she went back to him. Even Batman once tried to convince her that the Joker didn't see her the way she saw him.

-->'''Hugo''': Really Ace, I don't know what you see in that self-absorbed specimen anyway.

* ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'':

* The ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short, "Eatin' On The Cuff Or The Moth Who Came To Dinner", revolves around [[InterspeciesRomance a goofy clothes moth marries a bee.]] At the end of the short, the narrator, a live-action actor at a piano, is left wondering what that bee ever saw in the moth, and muttered to himself, "What a dope!" Unfortunately, [[RightBehindMe the moth heard him,]] and ate the narrator's pants in retaliation.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'': In "You've Got Hate Mail", Daffy accidentally sends an angry e-mail to everyone he knows [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech listing the things about them that annoy him]]. The part about his girlfriend Tina takes an oddly heartwarming twist when he accuses her of being crazy... because "Why else would the kindest, most beautiful, generous, and intelligent woman in the world go out with someone like me?"

--> '''K'nuckles:''' There she goes again, givin' him kisses! What does she see in that guy?! Why doesn't she ever give ME kisses?!\\

---> '''Candace:''' Totally get the crush thing. Don't quite get the Phineas thing. You do realize [[NonstandardCharacterDesign his head]] [[GagNose is a triangle]]?\\
'''Isabella:''' (''half-daydreaming'') Yeah, it's so acute!

** Marge and Homer Simpson. Some episodes answer the question. In TheMovie, Marge actually can't come up with an answer to this question after his latest and most extreme bout of {{jerkass}}ery and selfishness and leaves him as a result. He does make up for all the dickish things he did, though, and they got back together. Marge's sisters Patty and Selma never approved of their relationship throughout the entire series.
** In one episode, Bart questions what the babysitter sees in Jimbo. "What do you like about him? He's just a good-looking rebel who plays by his own rules." [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Which makes both the babysitter and Lisa sigh dreamily]].

---> '''Lisa:''' Nelson's my new... friend.\\

* Played with in ''Series/KeepingUpAppearances'', where Hyacinth often wonders what her sister Daisy sees in Onslow (who, apart from being a lazy slob, is a fairly decent guy), despite the fact that Hyacinth herself is loud, brutish, and unbearable to be around, to the point where her husband Richard dreads retirement because it would mean spending more time with her.

* Some of the stories on Series/OneThousandWaysToDie feature couples. We are left to wonder how some of the couples in this series got together in the first place. For example:
