[[folder:Music]]
* Music/AliceCooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy" is about Cooper throwing down the gauntlet after his mother's church group reacted with disgust to his onstage antics. He contends he was actually a Nice Guy... but not anymore.
* Subverted in Music/KidCudi's "Man on the Moon (The Anthem)":
--->Kid Cudi: Maybe if I was a jerk to girls,
--->Instead of being nice and speaking kind words,
--->Then maybe it would be okay to say then,
--->I wasn't a good guy to begin with."
* Gordon Lightfoot's "Rainy-Day People" (you know, to contrast "fair-weather friends) is about compassionate people willing to help anyone, no matter how the other party may behave.

[[folder:Roleplay]]
* ''Roleplay/DawnOfANewAgeOldportBlues'':
** Ciro is an amicable, compassionate, and morally upstanding guy, to the point that it's convinced some other characters that [[SheepInSheepsClothing he has to have a darker side to him]]. He really is just that nice, due in large part to [[PromotionToParent having raised his younger siblings]] in his mother's absence.
** Marko, who serves as a {{Foil}} to Ciro, is also a swell guy who's decent all-around. He cares deeply about his friends and always makes sure to look out for them- which, unfortunately for him, causes a conflict in their group when Daigo starts to get murderous with his powers.
** Thanks in part to his [[TheSpeechless lack of voice]], Ivan is a quiet friend and a good listener. He has a tolerant outlook and is loyal to those who help him in turn.
** Mirielle's defining trait is that she's very kind and cheerful, and always has food and compliments on hand for everyone.
** In contrast to [[BadPowersGoodPeople his shadow powers]], Sebastian is a naturally warm person who is quick to befriend others and accommodates them without a thought.
** Amy is a chipper and kind-hearted girl, [[NiceMeanAndInBetween in contrast]] to the {{jerk|ass}}ish Finn and uptight Katheryn. She's always looking for a solution that can please both sides of an issue.
** Despite his new, monstrous [[BigCreepyCrawlies bug]] form, Benjy retains his gentle personality. In fact, gaining a power has only encouraged him to become a superhero who can help others.
* Many of ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG'''s main characters can be considered Nice Guys. This is especially true of primary characters, {{Ideal Hero}}s, and [[TheMedic medics]]. Some notable examples include Andrew, Hertz, Zenna, David, Pierce, Frozeen, and Montoya.
* Quite a few characters in ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'', but one character who plays this to a tee is Reika Ishida, in contrast to her [[PsychoLesbian sister]]. One of her defining traits was that she was nice and friendly, always trying to help out. However, true to the stereotype, she literally gets killed within two posts once she gets to the island. Danya in the following announcement then called her "the less interesting of the Ishida sisters" for this reason.

[[folder:Theatre]]
* Bob [=McKellaway=] in ''Mary, Mary''. Subverted in the end, when he prevents Mary from going away with Dirk by seizing her and shutting her in his closet.
* Paris from ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet''. The poor guy legitimately has no idea that his betrothed, Juliet, is in love with another man, and when she fakes her death, he visits her grave, intending to return every night. Even Romeo feels sorry for him after [[spoiler:he kills him in desperate self-defense]].

[[folder:FanFicRecs]]
* Facebook has [[https://www.facebook.com/7teenfanfiction/ ''7teen'']], a spinoff to WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}, and it introduces Jonesy's dad, Michael, as one of the most friendly, compassionate, reasonable, level-headed and fatherly (whether you're his kid or not) parental in the series. Though Jude's dad, Justin, fits this trope as well, even in spite of being the DeadpanSnarker of the family.

* Dave Williams of Music/{{Drowning Pool}}, despite his band persona. Which makes his death all the more tragic.
* Music/RingoStarr. While [[Music/TheBeatles the other guys]] were sniping viciously at each other during the White Album sessions, likely taking their stress out on him as well, he got along great with all of them -- and the one time he ''did'' [[MinorInsultMeltdown snap]], all he really did was go on a few weeks' vacation with his family and [[SomewhereSong write a sweet song about octopuses]] to blow off steam.
* Music/DaveGrohl is often called "the nicest man in rock 'n' roll".

* Paris from ''RomeoAndJuliet''. The poor guy legitimately has no idea that his betrothed, Juliet, is in love with another man, and when she fakes her death, he visits her grave, intending to return every night.
