Oh, and there was something about being made by a guy named A.A. Milne. Then somebody named Creator/WaltDisney came along and made me more famous.

* TheEeyore: The TropeNamer. He's perpetually pessimistic and negative, and his most famous CatchPhrase is "Thanks for noticing me". Ironically, during one episode of the cartoon series, the entire cast notices Eeyore, just sitting on a hill and staring and try to cheer him up. The episode ends with Piglet asking Eeyore why he was so sad while Eeyore is still sitting on the hilltop, watching a beautiful sunset, and Eeyore simply asks "What makes you think I'm sad?"

* InconsistentColoring: Most modern promotional artwork and merchandising depicts Eeyore with blue fur and a flesh-colored muzzle (including the image on the right), likely to give him a more florescent and noticeable design compared to his grey scheme, thus making him more appealing to young children (granted however [[IncrediblyLamePun "blue"]] suits his character in a sense).
* {{Jerkass}}: Definitely in the original novels, though occasionally you still can't help feeling sorry for him. Both animated adaptions avert the trope, as Eeyore is far less nasty and sarcastic in either cartoons.

* PunnyName: His name is meant to resemble the onomatopoeic sound of a donkey's braying ([[AccentDepundent though it's a bit more obvious when pronounced with a British accent]], as Creator/AAMilne would have said it).
* TheStoic: Ironically enough. Despite his trademark depressive personality, Eeyore is usually the least likely to become highly fearful or upset in a dire situation, his usual emotional range usually never straying past being somewhat glum and negative.

Hello.

My name is Eeyore. Not that it matters much. I just slump around the Hundred Acre Wood, eating thistles and watching clouds go by. Not much else to say about me, since I'm not all that interesting. Oh, well. Might as well just sit back and let the day play out like it is.

Wait, you're still here. You sure you want to hear more about me?

Alright, but it's not very interesting.

I'm a donkey who lives in the Hundred Acre Wood, under a little pile of sticks I call my home. It's not much, but it gives me shelter. Most of my days, when Christopher Robin isn't around, I usually hang around with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Kanga, Roo, Owl, and occasionally Gopher. Not that they ever notice me...

Oh, and there was something about being made by a guy named A.A. Milne. Then somebody named Creator/WaltDisney came along and made me more famous.

Like I said, there's not much to tell...

But, if you want, I do have an entire list of tropes that apply to me down below. Go ahead and read them. If you want. I don't care...

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: I'm told that the version of me from the books isn't as nice. That's too bad. I would have liked to have someone to talk to.
* TheBigGuy: I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang, but I am pretty big for my size. Bigger than even Pooh after he's had too much honey. He's probably stuffed himself silly again.
* BirthdayEpisode: One story focuses on Piglet and Winnie-the-Pooh giving him birthday presents.
* TheChewToy: Nothing ever seems to go right for me. But that's okay; I just take it like it is.
* CivilizedAnimal: I'm not like some of those other guys on this website.
* DeadpanSnarker: Eeyore is good at this, much more so in the novels than in the Disney version.
* DemotedToExtra: Not that I'm surprised by this. It seems that the rest of the world gets along fine without me. Sure, [[WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet they let me]] [[Film/ChristopherRobin have some moments]], but otherwise, [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII they just leave me out]]. Oh, well.

* HiddenDepths: I've always wanted to be happy. But when I try, [[WeWantOurJerkBack the others don't seem to like it]]. Figures...being happy never seems to get me anywhere. But that's just how it is.
* {{Hypochondria}}: Not normally, but in one of the movies, when he thinks Owl has a cold, he says, "I'll probably catch it too" and later claims he has a cold when he clearly does not. He also thinks he has a cold in the ''My Friends Tigger and Pooh'' episode "Darby, Solo Sleuth".

* OddFriendship: Tigger may be the wildest bunch of the Hundred Acre Wood gang, but he's the best friend I could have. Beggars can't be choosers...
* OnlySaneMan: Sometimes I end up like this for no good reason. That's what you get when you have friends who aren't always paying attention.
* PunnyName: His name is meant to resemble the onomatopoeic sound of a donkey's braying ([[AccentDepundent though it's a bit more obvious when pronounced with a British accent]], as Creator/AAMilne would have said it).

--> '''Eeyore:''' Been better. Been worse too.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Book-me thinks this of everyone else. I'm not upset about it; somedays I feel like that too. But I wouldn't change Pooh and the others. They're just special the way they are. Too bad they'll never know...
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Thistles. Just plain old thistles. It's not much, but they taste pretty good. It's one of the few certainties in life...
* VocalEvolution: Over the years, I've sounded a lot deeper thanks to somebody called Creator/PeterCullen. I used to just sound sad, but when he voiced me, I got a lot deeper. Come to think of it, his voice [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers sounds familiar]]. Not that anyone will notice...[[note]]SelfDemonstrating/{{Starscream}} Oh, but I do...[[/note]]
* WhenHeSmiles: Sometimes, I don't know what comes over me, but I give off a big old smile. I just hope it doesn't make everyone else feel uncomfortable...
