Grumpy Bear: Difference between revisions

* Wobbly-Headed Bob, a character created by [[Jhonen Vasquez]] fits into this trope in a fairly extreme way. The character himself is something of an [[Insufferable Genius]] and/or [[Nietzsche Wannabe]] who lives in a world where dumb but [[Tastes Like Diabetes|cutesy]] creatures live in blissful ignorance. Bob himself condemns others for their ignorant nature and tries to expose others to the supposed horrors of reality, upon which they are usually [[Driven to Suicide]]. He does get called out for this, with a pig once telling him that it's ridiculous to tell happy people they're supposed to be miserable. The pig is eventually talked into killing himself.

* ''[[Scott Pilgrim]]'': Kim Pine in is this early on in the storyline; she later becomes far more agreeable.

'''Hollie''': Like, a totally hateful bitch. }}

 

* [[The Eeyore|Eeyore]] of ''[[Winnie the Pooh]]'' is the second-most iconic Grumpy Bear. Surrounded by beautiful nature, blessed with happy friends and a loving human playmate/owner, Eeyore insists on seeing the world glass all-empty.

** Also proven in the comic.

Eeyore: (Looks back at sign on tree behind him, which reads "Eeyore's Gloomy Place") You've arrived. }}

** And:

Eeyore: Now I'll probably get laugh wrinkles. }}

** And you can't forget:

Eeyore: I forgot to take my gloom pill this morning. }}

** Eeyore is so pessimistic it goes all the way out the other side and circles back around to narcissism. He once assumed that a party was for him, because he couldn't think of a reason why someone might invite him to a party in the first place unless he was the guest of honor.

** Fanny Price of ''[[Mansfield Park]]'', due to eight years of [[Abusive Parents|emotional abuse]], can never feel happy without feeling guilty as well.

* ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'' has Marvin the Paranoid Android.

* Maybeck in the ''[[Kingdom Keepers]]'' books is a cynical [[Deadpan Snarker]]...in a [[Disney]] series where [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]] is in full effect.
