Line 12:

When upset, the Eeyore may as well become [[Cute and Psycho]]. A stereotypical [[Goth]] will probably fit under this. An Eeyore with artistic talent will use it to [[True Art Is Angsty|express his overwhelming angst]].

If written a certain way, [[The Eeyore]] can easily become a [[The Woobie|Woobie.]]

If written a certain way, '''The Eeyore''' can easily become a [[The Woobie|Woobie.]]

Compare [[Grumpy Bear]]. [[The Pollyanna]] is the polar opposite of this trope.

Line 25:

** Sasuke as well.

* Lucy from ''[[Elfen Lied]]'' (in a virulently homicidal sort of way [[Distaff Counterpart|but also a girl]]).

* Sugata from [[Star Driver]] definitely fits this, going as far as inadvertently hurting Wako with with his downer behavior. However, considering that {{spoiler|he can't leave Southern Cross Island due to being the bearer of Samekh (if he does, his [[Ninja Maid~~|Ninja Maids~~]] will be forced to kill him), is also the bearer of a power [[Blessed with Suck|that can hurt or kill others and put him into a coma]], and has to live in fear of Wako's seal being broken and/or her being harmed}}, this is pretty much [[Justified Trope]].

* Kohza from ''[[Samurai Champloo]]''.

* [[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Nozomu Itoshiki]], or, as he is better known as, "Mr. Despair".

Line 90:

* Neil, the depressive hippy in ''[[The Young Ones]]'', who has made it his life's mission to inform everyone about how depressed he is.

* ''[[Fraggle Rock]]'' has Boober Fraggle; who is not only depressive and fearful, but is also an obsessive expert on [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|diseases, superstitions, and laundry.]] This actually proves very useful to the other Fraggles, as Boober is always the first to sense impending disaster.

* Howard Moon from [[The Mighty Boosh]]. He's self-described as "dark, fractured, broken, paranoid" and has always been the [[Stop Having Fun Guy]] in all of the show's incarnations. Somewhat justified as the [[The Eeyore]], as he really ''is'' the [[Butt Monkey]] of his entire universe. In ''The Power of The Crimp,'' usually cheerful Vince is depressed and starts rattling off bleak imagery, to which Howard responds, "Have you got my script?"

* Fisher, one of the interns on ''[[Bones]]''. [[Running Gag|Most of his lines involve death, misery, and dying]] and he states that he is jealous of the corpses they work with. After the timeskip between seasons 5 and 6 it is revealed that he spent a year in a mental hospital for being too depressed to do anything but sleep 20 hours a day. Even Cam goes out of her way to try to get him to smile.

* The Reverand Giles Shawcross in the ''[[Midsomer Murders]]'' episode "The Sword of Guillaume".
