{{quote|'Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile<br />
Yes I do<br />
It fills my heart with sunshine all the while<br />
Yes it does<br />
'Cause all I really need's a smile, smile, smile<br />
From these happy friends of mine|Pinkie Pie, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNrXMOSkBas "Smile Smile Smile"], ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''}}
 
Line 31:
* Nessa from ''[[Fractale]]'', who "loves love and hates hate."
* In ''[[G Gundam]]'', Domon and Rain modify {{spoiler|the [[Calling Your Attacks|attack call]] for the God Finger in the [[Grand Finale]] to reflect this attitude.}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|This hand of mine is burning red! Its loud cry tells us to grasp HAPPINESS! Erupting God Finger! Sekiha [[The Power of Love|Love! Love!]] Tenkyoken!}}}}
* Although he initially seems little more than a self-absorbed [[Upperclass Twit]], [[Bishounen|Tama]][[Cloudcuckoolander|ki]] from ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' actually subscribes to this philosophy. He wants to have fun, but he wants everyone else to have fun too.
 
Line 56:
* Vianne from the novel ''[[Chocolat]]'' doesn't believe in God or sin or forgiveness. She believes that "The only important thing is to be happy" - and does her best to make it happen with amazing gourmet chocolates. [[Everything's Better with Chocolate|Sounds like a solid strategy to me!]]
* ''[[Wicked Lovely]]'' has the Summer court, who are described as 'happy by nature' and 'frivoulous and passoionate'. They oftentimes tell others to 'choose happiness'. However, due to their nature as part of [[The Fair Folk]], they often put happiness before things like morality and loyalty, on one occaision telling [[Badass Normal|Seth]] to leave [[Interspecies Romance|Aislinn]] because he'll be happier that way.
{{quote| "Sometimes it's not about being happy, but courting happiness." -Siobahn.}}
* [[Pollyanna]]'s reaction to life.
* In ''[[Animorphs]]'', the Pemalites fit this trope to a T. Created by [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|The Ellimist]] to spread life, love and freedom, they did exactly that... until [[Eldritch Abomination|Crayak's]] pet creation, the Howlers, straight-up [[Curb Stomp Battle|slaughtered their asses.]] It's worth noting that the Howlers {{spoiler|are also like this, Crayak just gave them a warped sense of what people find fun.}}
* ''[[Brave New World (novel)|Brave New World]]'' is a [[Totalitarian Utilitarian|merciless]] [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstruction]]: the government makes sure people are basically [[Happiness in Slavery|enslaved to happiness]].
{{quote| "Happiness is a hard master—particularly other people's happiness."}}
* [[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Bertie Wooster]] is [[Upperclass Twit|rolling in the right stuff]], [[Lazy Bum|unashamed of his useless lifestyle]], and spends all his time either going to clubs and golf courses or [[The Dandy|shopping for clothes]]. He'll let his exuberant way of life get interrupted for one reason only--[[Spoiled Sweet|if he has to help a pal in distress]]. As far as that goes, [[Extreme Doormat|he's willing to survive anything]].
