* The 1944 film version of ''Literature/TheCantervilleGhost'' has the ghost being a big coward, as are all his descendants. He can\'t pass on until a descendant does something brave.
* In the Creator/AbbottAndCostello film "The Time of Their Lives" (1946), Lou Costello plays a ghost wrongly accused of treason, just trying to clear his name (with the typical Costello bumbling, cowardly comedy).

* The TitleCharacter in ''{{Film/Beetlejuice}}'' qualifies. Referring to him, the movie's tagline was "The name in laughter from the hereafter!".

* Since the fanfics ''Fanfic/HauntedMansionAndTheHatboxGhost'' are based on the TropeNamer, Disney's 'Haunted Mansion" ride, they keep this important aspect of the characters.

* Hairy Scary, pictured above, more so than [[WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost Casper]] in ''WesternAnimation/CasperAndTheAngels''. Casper is supposed to be a "guardian ghost" to the {{Space Cop}} Angels along with Hairy, but the latter brings about most of the show's laughs.

* The ghosts in the WesternAnimation/{{classic Disney short|s}} ''Disney/LonesomeGhosts''. They call ghost exterminators Mickey, Donald and Goofy so they could have someone to scare, and are clearly having a ball while doing so.

The TropeNamer is ''Franchise/TheHauntedMansion'' ride at Ride/DisneyThemeParks and the assorted media directly based upon it. Compare FriendlyGhost, who is also a non-scary but not necessarily funny spirit.

* ''RegularShow'''s Hi-Five ghost doesn't have much in the way of a developed personality, but his design is definitely silly. He looks like a BedsheetGhost or a PacMan ghost with a single arm and hand growing out of the top of his head.

* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': Danny Phantom himself qualifies. Although he possesses the power to become a ghost (which tend to be the source of most misfortune in the Danny Phantom universe), he is generally a pretty outgoing, BookDumb kid who can be a bit of a ButtMonkey.

* In "Franchise/{{SuperMarioBros}}" we have the Boos, known for nearly always sticking their tongues out at you like a kid making a silly face and hiding behind their hands when Mario looks at them as if they were playing Peek-A-Boo.

* The TropeNamers are the ghostly stars of ''Franchise/TheHauntedMansion'' ride at DisneyThemeParks, who are clearly more interested in partying than anything frightening or sinister. Even "Grim Grinning Ghosts", the ride's ThemeSong, admits that these ghosts only \"Pretend to terrorize\".

* "[[http://monologues.co.uk/Childrens_Favourites/Colonel_Fazackerley.htm Colonel Fazackerley]] Butterworth-Toast, Bought an [[HauntedCastle old castle complete with a ghost]]." Upon their first meeting, the ghost tries to scare the Colonel away from the castle, but the Colonel is instead entertained by the ghost's antics. When the Colonel goes so far as to call out for more, the ghost gives up and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere never appears again.]]

* GeneralMills Monster-Themed breakfast cereal "Boo Berry" has a ghost as a mascot. In the original ad Frankenberry and Count Chocula both are scared of the ghost and perform a SecurityCling with each other, despite the fact that they're a FrankensteinsMonster and a ClassicalMovieVampire. But Boo Berry just wants to share his cereal.

* The first ghost-types to appear on ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' turned out to be pretty funny. They're fond of TexAvery-esque {{EyePop}}s and {{WildTake}}s and clearly see their hauntings as pranking Ash & Pikachu, not attacking them.
* Elizabeth, the CuteGhostGirl in ''Anime/{{Maburaho}}'', [[SkinshipGrope takes a liking]] to [[MsFanservice Kuriko]], because her large breasts remind her of her mother. In fact, she mistakes Kuriko ''for'' her mother ''because'' of her breasts. When Kazuki and the girls help Elizabeth out to escape from the house that she's been bound in, she opens up and becomes quite playful.

* Mort of ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt''. He \'\'is\'\' supposed to scare people, actually, but when he\'s not on the job he borders on {{Adorkable}}.

* Harry Scary more so than [[CasperTheFriendlyGhost Casper]] in ''WesternAnimation/CasperAndTheAngels.'' Casper is supposed to be a "guardian ghost" to the {{Space Cop}} Angels along with Harry, but the latter brings about most of the show's laughs.
