* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' episode "The City of Frownsville" takes it [[ExaggeratedTrope to the extreme]]. The villain [[PunnyName Lou Gubrious]] has a PersonalRaincloud, OcularGushers, [[InelegantBlubbering blubbers inelegantly]], and [[CryingARiver cries a sea of tears and make literal waterfalls]]. He channels his sadness to spread it to [[EverybodyCries everyone in Townsville]].

* PJ on ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' oscillates between this and a very compassionate variation of a StepfordSnarker. He ''can'' be happy sometimes, and the fact that he usually isn't is evidence of the injustices done to him, both immediately beforehand and throughout his entire life. He's somewhat better in the first movie, and in the second movie, [[EarnYourHappyEnding his unhappiness is finally rectified]].

* Happy Time Harry in the ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' episode "Dumber Dolls" takes this to comically dark extremes. He's a children's action figure who is depressed, addicted to pain pills, has a pile of unpaid "Action Bills" as his main accessory, occasionally practices self-harm with a knife that's ''permanently'' attached to one hand and routinely threatens to commit assault or suicide. In later appearances, he mentions he's on probation too (and missing a meeting with his P.O. by participating in the villains' ZanyScheme). Somewhat of a {{deconstruct|edTrope}}ion. He shows you what kinds of things need to happen to a guy for him to have such a negative outlook on life. And by "things" we mean "Wife kicked him out, numerous health problems, overdue child support, overdue bills... this can go on. It certainly doesn't help that he took to the bottle to alleviate the pain he faces.
