* Fisher, one of the interns on ''Series/{{Bones}}''. [[RunningGag 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.

* Hannah from ''Series/PleaseLikeMe'' suffers from depression. She doesn't really like going out or socializing, and is generally quiet and sullen when she does.
* David Hyde Pierce's character on ''The Powers That Be''. (John Forsyth was the titular U.S. Senator; Pierce was his son-in-law who was in the House of Representatives.) One memorably darkly funny bit had him reading ''Final Exit'' (a real-life book detailing various methods of suicide) with commentary ("tried it, tried that twice, like ''that's'' going to work...")

** In one episode it's shown that his father is the same way so it might be a racial trait. Being from Uranus, they're the [[IncrediblyLamePun butt of every joke,]] alongside Uranus simply being very dark and gloomy. Contrast Rosie, who was from Mercury and very bright and sunny.

Added DiffLines:

* Tiberius in ''Series/IClaudius''. A scene in the first episode has him talk about how dark and miserable he feels inside, constantly, even to the point of contemplating suicide--to modern audiences, it sounds like he's trying to describe clinical depression. His naturally cheerful brother Drusus more or less tells him to buck up. The only people who can keep Tiberius happy are his wife Vipsania and his naturally cheerful brother Drusus... he loses them both in the first episode when Livia forces him to divorce Vipsania and Drusus dies on the German front. From then on, all Tiberius has is misery, spite, and pessimism.

* The Reverand Giles Shawcross in the ''Series/MidsomerMurders'' episode "The Sword of Guillaume".
* Howard Moon from ''Series/TheMightyBoosh''. He's self-described as "dark, fractured, broken, paranoid" and has always been the StopHavingFunGuy in all of the show's incarnations. Somewhat justified as the TheEeyore, as he really ''is'' the ButtMonkey 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?"
