* In the ''Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid'' books, Greg's father Frank was a very stoic character, rarely displaying emotions and was pretty serious in trying to toughen up Greg. In the [[Film/DiaryOfAWimpyKid films]], however, he gets way more comedic lines and Creator/SteveZahn can rarely goes a scene without being a LargeHam.

This trope is often found in DerivativeWorks that are LighterAndSofter or DenserAndWackier than their source. This may also come from an AdaptationalAngstDowngrade (if the character's more broodier traits are downplayed or outright extracted for comedy's sake), AdaptationalHeroism and AdaptationalNiceGuy, in which a character's more light-hearted personality removes any seriousness they originally had, though [[AdaptationalVillainy the]] [[AdaptationalJerkass opposite]] can apply for more [[BlackComedy darkly humorous works]] in which the character is portrayed as a HeroicComedicSociopath, made LaughablyEvil, or both, often with a [[EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor bad sense of humor]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'', Jeremy was a comical, clumsy character while his counterpart in the [[Literature/MrsFrisbyAndTheRatsOfNIMH original book]] had more of a "young and inexperienced" role. The film made several characters darker, which may have influenced this change. Jeremy is also an example of RetCanon since his more whimsical characterization was adapted into the book's sequels.
* Creator/RalphBakshi's animated film of ''WesternAnimation/TheLordOfTheRings'' turned Samwise into a goofy, incompetent oddball of a hobbit, but in the books, he is brave and loyal. He was meant to become more serious in the second film, which was never made.
* Both Captain Hook and the Crocodile that chases him in ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'', with Mr. Smee also made into an even more comedic character than he already was in the original play and book.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'' is intentionally LighterAndSofter than the book it was based on, so this happens to a number of characters who are as much InNameOnly similar to the book's as the script is.
** Baloo in the books is a serious law teacher. In the Disney film he became the exact opposite, a lazy, fun-loving character who loves to sing silly songs, including a {{scatting}} duel with an orangutan.
** Kaa combines this with AdaptationalVillainy. Whereas in the book he's an old, wise snake who is respected and feared by everyone in the jungle, in the film he's a sniveling literal SmugSnake who attempts to eat Mowgli multiple times, but always ends up suffering AmusingInjuries.
** Hathi in the books is a mighty elephant respected by every animal in the jungle. In the Disney film he's a bumbling, absent-minded military commander.
** Downplayed with Bagheera, who remains a serious character but often ends up becoming TheComicallySerious and the StraightMan to Baloo.
** Zigzagged with Shere Khan, who becomes [[AdaptationalBadass much more menacing]] than his book counterpart, but also gains some FauxAffablyEvil mannerisms.

** Caretaker Filch in the first few movies is as menacing as his book counterpart, but later movies would turn him into a comic relief character.
** Inverted with Harry. His DeadpanSnarker tendencies from the books are toned down in the films.
* Ian Malcolm in ''Film/JurassicPark'' and its sequel ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' is a DeadpanSnarker who provides most of the laughs. In the novel, he mainly serves the role of explaining chaos theory and is a relatively serious character, although he still has some funny moments. An especially prominent one is found in the second book, which was written to hold some similarities with the original film.
* In the ''Film/SherlockHolmes'' films:
** Nigel Bruce as John Watson, who is a bumbling oaf compared to the original books where he was dignified and professional.
** Averted with Watson but played straight with Holmes in the Robert Downey Jr./Jude Law films: Law's Watson is very serious and professional, and the films often emphasize that he's a war veteran and a medical doctor[[note]]According to WordOfGod, they wanted to undo Watson's popular perception as the quintessential bumbling sidekick, and return him to his roots of being Holmes' equal[[/note]] who often acts as the StraightMan to Downey's Holmes, who, while very competent, is much goofier and irreverent than he's normally portrayed as.

** [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] is presented a lot more comedically than he usually is in the comics, especially after ''Film/ThorRagnarok''.
*''Literature/{{Winnetou}}'': In Creator/KarlMay's novels ''Old Surhehand I'' and ''III'', Old Wabble is a tragic figure and one of May's most three-dimensional characters: a former ally of Old Shatterhand and Literature/{{Winnetou}} who became evil and eventually dies at age 90. In the movies ''Unter Geiern'', ''Der Ölprinz'' and ''Old Surehand'' he is given an AgeLift and is merely Old Surehand's BumblingSidekick.
* The film version of ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'' is known for having a ''definite'' campier, more comical tone overall than the source material, and is sometimes seen a turning point in the Franchise/JamesBond film franchise. Two or three distinct characters are worth noting:
** The novel version of "Shady Tree", a middleman in the diamond-smuggling ring, is a hunchback who Bond feels the need to think to himself was, whatever he may be, "not funny". In the movie, he's literally a ''stand-up comic'' as his daylight job.
** The film version of Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd go from a comparatively straightforward pair of hired killers to a now-iconic pair of assassins who drop one-liners (and sometimes finish the other's sentences) in a CreepyMonotone.
* ''Film/{{Cats}}'':
** In the original theatrical version of ''Theatre/{{Cats}}'', the emphasis of Jennyanydots is that she's a CoolOldLady and a snooty MaidenAunt. In the 2019 film, she's {{age lift}}ed to middle-aged at most. She's more energetic, being BigFun and prone to comedic antics.

* The Grand Prince of Kiev Vladimir the Great and his ballad counterpart Vladimir Solnečko ("Vladimir Little Sun") are portrayed in the Russian animated movie franchise ''Tri Bogatyrja'' ("The Three Bogatyrs") by Prince Vladimir, who can be described as an overgrown child who periodically puts his kingdom in grave danger because of his several [[FatalFlaw fatal flaws]], such as [[TheGamblingAddict betting it on a variant of the cup and balls trick]] or paying off a humangous debt by arranging a marriage between his niece Zabava and the greedy merchant he owes the money to. He's also inept and unable to use a sword properly ([[PragmaticHero though he comes up with some pragmatic solutions when his life is at stake]]). Even his servants usually don't take it seriously (despite being aware he still is their monarch). This usually leads to him receiving a HumiliationConga by his enemies ([[StatusQuoIsGod but he always manages to get back his throne thanks to the help of his three bogatyrs]]). To put things into perspective, his historical counterpart was a man who lived by the sword: Vladimir the Great waged war against his brother Yaropolk and crushed revolts inside and outside his kingdom with remarkable efficiency. His time as ruler is also considered the first part of the Golden Age of Kievian Rus (with the second part beginning with the coronation of Vladimr's son Yaroslav).

** In the manga, while Chibiusa/Sailor Chibimoon does become a source of a few humorous moments, she is a legitimate semi-powerful Guardian with an attack capable of destroying low-level enemies which can also be combined with Sailor Moon's or Tuxedo Mask's powers for more damage. In the first anime, especially the third season, she is turned into a borderline JokeCharacter with powers that are only strong enough to annoy monsters and are prone to failing altogether. Part of the reason for this was the anime deliberately sticking to a certain episode structure, so Chibimoon's antics quickly became a regular occurrence. (This led to her ongoing CharacterDevelopment from the manga barely happening in that version, so when the next season abruptly promoted her to protagonist status due to her being a KidAppealCharacter, the results were ''not pretty'').
