* ''{{Videogame/Undertale}}'' has Napstablook, who does funny things like leading you to believe that he's asleep when in fact he's [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud awake and saying "ZZZ" out loud]], as well as [[spoiler:Mettaton, who has more of a LargeHam comedic style]]

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, or the ReluctantMonster who isn't even aware of its role.

* The TropeNamers are the ghostly stars of ''Franchise/TheHauntedMansion'' ride at Ride/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\".

* 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 TitleCharacter in ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'' qualifies. Referring to him, the movie's tagline was "The name in laughter from the hereafter!"
** While the ''film'' is a comedy, "Beetlejuice" himself is more of a MonsterClown.

* ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'': Spanky and Crudde from the episode "Parents' Day" are two mischievous ghosts who live in the basement of Enid's house. Much to the annoyance of Enid's mom, Wilhelmina, they like to possess house guests and make them do embarrassing or destructive things.

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

* Spooky, the little spook in the ''[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Cool Cat]]'' cartoon "Big Game Haunt," is a hybrid of Casper and Elmer Fudd.

* UsefulNotes/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.

* Spanky and Crudde from the ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' episode, "Parents Day".

* [[WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost Casper]] as portrayed by the ''WebOriginal/NostalgiaCritic''. The silliness comes from how OutOfCharacter it is for {{Canon}} [[WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost Casper]] to be malicious and from the fact that he's still not scary even with the meaner personality.

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

* The ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' episode "Creepy Trip to Lemon Twist'' features two mischievous ghosts in the abandoned saloon. They play pranks on some of the racers, until Big Gruesome turns the tables on them.
* ''WesternAnimation/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/CasperTheFriendlyGhost Casper]] as portrayed by the ''WebOriginal/NostalgiaCritic''. The silliness comes from how OutOfCharacter it is for {{Canon}} [[CasperTheFriendlyGhost Casper]] to be malicious and from the fact that he's still not scary even with the meaner personality.

* [[CuteGhostGirl Wanda]] from ''WebOriginal/BamanPiderman'' giggles, plays pranks and does cutesy things like boop Piderman on the nose and make an origami crane kiss Pumkin.

* The first ghost-types to appear on ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' turned out to be pretty funny. They're fond of Creator/TexAvery-esque {{Eye Pop}}s and {{Wild Take}}s and clearly see their hauntings as pranking Ash & Pikachu, not attacking them.

* The nameless ghost in Creator/LewisCarroll's [[http://www.readbookonline.net/readOnLine/13806/- "Phantasmagoria"]] is a bit of a goof with a taste for awful puns. He also mooches food and drink off the narrator.
