Line 85:
** In one episode it's shown that his father is the same way so it might be a racial trait.
* Seaman "Doom & Gloom" Broom from ''[[Operation Petticoat]]''.
* Private James Frazer from ''[[
* [[The Shield|Detective Ronnie Gardocki]]
* Ted, the completely unsuccessful, miserable, and suicidal ([[Gallows Humor|in a humorous way]]) lawyer from ''[[Scrubs]]'', who serves as the show's [[Butt Monkey]]. Even [[The Woobie]] Elliot casually acknowledges that she is nowhere ''near'' as miserable as Ted.
Line 172:
* Meg from ''[[Family Guy]]''.
** Who veers strongly into [[The Woobie]] category, depending on how the writer treats her. There's a [[Face Heel Turn|post cancellation episode]] where Peter acknowledges that she's not as bad as she deserves to be treated and promises to be nice to her... when nobody else is around. When Lois then enters, Peter proceeds to throw his drink in her face to keep in character.
*** It's worth noting that she occasionally borders on [[Jerkass Woobie]]; since everyone treats her like crap regardless, she eventually goes on a [[Only Sane Man]] rant about how she is essentially [[The Scapegoat|a victim]] of [[Wham! Episode|a variety of domestic abuse]] as everybody downright hates her for no reason. However, she reverts back to the Eeyore role ''again'' when she realizes being the Eeyore is pretty much keeping the family together.
* Mentioned above under Literature, there's Eeyore. [[Tear Jerker|Not that anybody cares about ol' Eeyore.]]
** Ironically, during one episode of the cartoon series, the entire cast notices Eeyore, just sitting on a hill and staring and try to cheer him up. The episode ends with Piglet asking Eeyore why he was so sad while Eeyore is still sitting on the hilltop, watching a beautiful sunset, and Eeyore simply asks "What makes you think I'm sad?"
* [[Toy Story 3|Chuckles the Clown]] is a subversion: [[Expy|he acts much like Eeyore]], [[Hey, It's That Voice!|to the point of sharing a voice actor]], but then you hear his [[Start of Darkness|backstory]].
* A lot of [[Transformers]] have elements of the [[Sour Supporter]] or being real complainers, but Dead End of the Stunticons is known for almost never smiling (lack of a mouth aside) and constantly believing and declaring that their collective doom was at hand. The end result is a character who handily combines fatalism, vanity, and the ability to merge with [[Teeth
* [[My Life As a Teenage Robot|Jenny's]] "sister" XJ-7, who has a built-in slouch and frowning expression.
* Mr. Ten from ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' is eternally depressed. It's eventually revealed that {{spoiler|it's Heloise's fault}}.
