9* Austin Moon from ''Series/AustinAndAlly''. Minus the "small" part (his actor, Ross Lynch, was 6' tall by age fifteen).
10-->"I'm Austin, and I like pancakes!"
11** Same with his actor, Creator/RossLynch. The man's an explosion of perky adorable elfin cuteness.
12* Andrew from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' embodies this trope.
13* ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'': Josh Nichols is very hyperactive, loud, excitable, and overemotional. He especially gets giddy when it comes to [[Series/TheOprahWinfreyShow Oprah]].
14* Jonathan Mangum from ''Series/DrewCareysImprovAGanza'' is a good example of this trope. Despite being 40, he is often thought to be the youngest performer due to his constant usage of this trope.
15* Creator/DavidArquette, who always seems to be freebasing sugar. He's fully capable of playing serious roles, though he's more famous in the "hyper" persona.
16* The Eighth, Tenth (provided he's not brooding) and Eleventh (even when he ''is'' brooding) Doctors from ''Series/DoctorWho''.
17** And [[Creator/JohnBarrowman Captain Jack "Anything that moves" Harkness]].
18* Boober Fraggle, ''Series/FraggleRock'''s resident [[TheEeyore Eeyore]], has an [[GollumMadeMeDoIt alter-ego named Sidebottom]] who is a textbook example of this trope.
19* Klus The Gnome from {{Creator/Studio100}}'s ''Series/KabouterPlop'' series is the most energetic of the gnomes and loves playing pranks and showing off. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DJ_Rte3lKM He once tried to fly after seeing birds fly around him.]]
20* Kido Shinji from ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'' is almost certainly the Keet-iest of all the Kamen Rider main protagonists. (Probably for the best considering that he resides in a [[CrapsackWorld Crapsack]] [[BlackAndGrayMorality Black And Gray Morality World]] that has a very high death quotient [[spoiler:up to and including Shinji himself]]).
21* ''Series/KamenRiderZeroOne'': Jin, the [[GigglingVillain giggly]], bouncy PsychopathicManchild of the terroristic group / apocalypse cult [=MetsuboJinrai.NET=]. Notably, his excitement and attention span of a caffeinated fruitfly do not make him any less dangerous.
22* Ky Lee from ''Series/TheLibrarians2007''.
23* ''Series/NobutaWoProduce'' has the hyperactive touchy rich-boy Akira as its Keet.
24* Pee-wee Herman on ''Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse'' embodies this trope.
25* Ziggy from ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'' (counterpart of Hanto, below) fits this rather nicely, as well as CloudCuckooLander.
26* ''Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon'' portrays Motoki this way. His best friend in the world is a pet turtle named Kamekichi, he always smiles and he doesn't quite know the meaning of subtlety.
27* Rich Fields on ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' is this on occasion, especially in the opening speech and when he says [[CatchPhrase IT'S A NEW CAR/TRUCK/VIPER/LINCOLN!!]].
28* The Canadian show ''Series/TheRedGreenShow'' has Red's nerdy nephew Harold, as well as the town criminal, Mike Hamar. Both are skinny, shrill and overly enthusiastic, though Harold isn't exactly small. Mike, for one, tends to squeal like an excited schoolgirl when hosting the "Possum Lodge Word Game" segment.
29* JD from ''Series/{{Scrubs}}''. One of the personality traits Dr. Cox likes to mock him for the most.
30* Ban from ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'' takes the [[HotBlooded standard anime personality]] for TheHero to galactic proportions. He's ultra-loud and ultra-hyperactive 24/7. Having this personality archetype as a Red is somewhat of a CreatorThumbprint for producer Hideaki Tsukada, since it also carried into Kai from ''Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger'', Jan from ''Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger'', and Juru from ''Series/MashinSentaiKiramager''.
31** Hanto/Go-on Green in ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger''
32* ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' has Zeke. He was once compared in-show to a hummingbird.
33** Don't forget "Bouncing Chipmunk."
34* Rick from ''Series/TheYoungOnes'' (while not a generally happy person and moreso angry) is very loud, hyperactive, and feminine. Right down to his pigtails and closet transvestism.
35* Jeremy from the Korean drama ''You're Beautiful'' fits this trope to the letter. Unfortunately, he's [[SadClown not always happy as he seems]].
