Fun Personified
"Hey, you know what this calls for? A PARTY!"Not a serious character. Oh, they're officially in canon, but no matter what exploits they accomplish, you won't see it referenced much. That's not what fans are looking for. These are "Funnybook" characters who are actually funny. Any use of them is usually restricted to their own book, where they can do wild and fun stuff. They are solely for positive consumption. Sometimes the character isn't even used that often, but their presence fuels conversation within fandom. Often such characters become a meterstick for fans: One camp claims they're too silly or insulting to continuity, while the other says comics can be fun and these fans should lighten up. Actual writers seem to pick up on this, and don't usually dare more than cameos in "serious" books. Beware trying to make these characters Darker and Edgier; you'll get flak from both the people who liked them, and the people who dislike them, and don't care how many guns or pouches you strap to them. Opposite trope to Knight of Cerebus; the Sanguine member of a Four-Temperament Ensemble.

Anime and Manga
- Codename: Sailor V was a Fun Personified manga starring a Fun Personified character that slowly got more serious, but never to the level of its spinoff, Sailor Moon.
- It should be self evident who in Baccano! i—
Miria: Hey, Isaac!Isaac: What is it, Miria?Miria: Why aren't we on this page?Isaac: Why would we be? After all, dangerous rogues such as ourselves would never be so silly!Miria: Right! We are serious! Super serious! Aaaaaamaaazingly serious!

- Majin Buu from Dragon Ball Z is an evil version.
- Also Goku, the main character (though more so earlier in the series).
- Lloyd Asplund from Code Geass, the only character in the series who seems to not have a care in the world. He really does, of course. Milly Ashford, as well, though downplayed late in the series.
- Nia Teppelin from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, after Kamina's death.
- Ladies and Gentlemen, Arsene Lupin III. In Green vs. Red, Jigen says this trait specifically is why he hangs out with Lupin.
- Gundam
- Chibodee Crocket and Sai Saici from Mobile Fighter G Gundam, with Chibodee's over-the-top Americanness, loves to party, drink, and generally have a good time and Sai being a happy-go-lucky Kid Hero, contrasting with the growling protagonist and their rival, Domon.
- The second generation of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE has rookie pilot Arisa Gunhale. She's upbeat, irreverent, and competitive, which does a lot to lighten Asemu's dad issues and romance issues, plus the War Is Hell thing.
- Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece. He has Monkey in his name!
- This status has started to slip away from him as of late.
- He's right back to this state post-Time Skip, though.
- This status has started to slip away from him as of late.
- Mako Mankanshoku from Kill la Kill, one of the genkiest girls of recent anime, and guaranteed to say or do something funny or crazy in pretty much every episode she's in.
- The Joestar group in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusader, especially Joseph Joestar. The old dude is very upbeat and loud despite him being on an important journey to save his own daughter from a terminal illness by fighting a Humanoid Abomination and his waves of assasins.
Comic Books
- Spider-Man is one of Marvel's Light Hearted and prominent cheerful Nice Guys, and the most upbeat of the Avengers. Despite his angsty and troubled life, Peter Parker most of the time takes serious and depressing situations and turns them into amusing cracks at people and humorous antics in any given time.
- And his Love Interest Mary Jane Watson, before it was later revealed that this was all to cover up her insecurities and troubled life at home.
- And don't forget Peter Porker, the Amazing Spider-Ham.
- Although She-Hulk is more prominent, Marvel's flagship character for this trope is Doreen Green, better known as Squirrel Girl, whose silly powers and low actual presence in comics nonetheless have helped her beat a number of supervillains. She actually defeated Dr. Doom once, which lead one writer to retcon that as being Actually a Doombot which led another writer to have her defeat Thanos offscreen and then have Uatu the Watcher show up to officially proclaim it as "not a robot, clone, or simulacrum."
- Just to show how the feud continues, subsequent comics have had Thanos reveal that he has perfected a means of creating weaker copies of himself that could fool The Watchers.
- Note that both She-Hulk's current comic and all of Squirrel Girl's recent appearances are written by Dan Slott, who pretty much epitomizes the "comics should be fun!" attitude. Slott wrote both the above mentioned items, thus feuding with himself!
- Squirrel Girl is infatuated with Robert Baldwin, the superhero known as Speedball, who was also one of these for most of his career — prior to turning Darker and Edgier as Penance. He's Speedball again now, but he's still not quite his old fun-loving self.
- Irving Forbush (also known as his "superhero" persona, Forbush-Man) is an earlier Marvel character (circa 1967) who fits this trope. He was the main character of Not Brand Echh, a '60s superhero parody comic, and What The—!?, an '80s/'90s superhero parody comic.
- Which makes the evil psychic clone of him in Nextwave all the funnier.
- The DCU's Ambush Bug qualifies as well. He first appeared as a fairly standard supervillain, but within just a couple appearances had jumped into outright comedy, making fun of the fan obsessions of the day.
- Marvel's Deadpool started out as Rob Liefeld' stand-in for DC's Deathstroke the Terminator. Nearly every other writer since has used him as a comedy character, to the point of having him become entirely aware of his nature as a comic book character. His Ultimate Marvel counterpart is (almost) entirely serious, but there are hints that might not have actually been him.
- After Superman came Back from the Dead, Superboy stopped being as much of a Jerkass and became more of this type of character, until of course he became... you guessed it.
- Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis's run on Justice League International/America veered between humorous and serious; this led to both Blue Beetle and Booster Gold taking on this role permanently.
- It's rumored that Dan DiDio, DC's current Editor-in-Chief, dislikes "silly" comics, which is why many ex-JLI members have died under his reign (well, the lucky ones died, anyway); it's more likely due to the fact that most of them haven't been in the public eye for years, leading to becoming C-List Fodder.
- Meanwhile, Gold and Rip Hunter are actively exploiting Booster's reputation as a second-rate hero to let him fight time-traveling opponents who would smother Booster in his cradle if only they figured out he was the problem.
- Keith Giffen also fathered Lobo with Roger Slifer, which is a Badass Biker coupled with professional wrestling camp and biker humor. The plot is always silly, including Lobo working as a mascot in a crappy amusement park, or the time the writer is wired to a jokes detector shocking him for each "adult joke", turning Lobo into Superbo, a Silver Age Superman ripoff to make him family friendly, or other nonsensical stuff as the crossover Lobo vs The Mask, or the mini-series Lobo's Back, about his failed resurrections.
- Speedball, a cartoonish character with bouncing and invulnerability powers, used to be another Fun Personified character (see above).
- DC's original Red Tornado, Ma "Hit 'em with a Frying Pan" Hunkel.
- And when you have only these characters, you get something like The Tick.
- DC also had a character called 'Mazing Man who fit this.
- And the Legion has Chameleon Boy, who goes back and forth between the two extremes depending on who's writing them. The same is also true for Matter Eater Lad.
- Bouncing Boy also counts. When he first joined the Legion, he became the team's self-appointed "Morale Officer".
- Plastic Man was the original Fun Personified character, back in The Golden Age of Comic Books. The man's powers are essentially to be a Tex Avery cartoon.
- Superman's inventors, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, also invented Funnyman, which ran for six issues.
- One of Golden Age Superman's few recurring villains was Funny Face, a villain with a newspaper gag comic strip gimmick.
- Nextwave is a Fun Personified series.
- Marvel also had Slapstick, who is called a "living cartoon", and carries a Hyperspace Mallet.
- In one issue of Avengers: The Initiative, he was shown brutally attacking Camp Hammond instructor, Gauntlet, for using the New Warriors name as an insult, nearly killing him in the process. This has been seen by some as an Out-of-Character Moment, though others see it as not really being far off from his normal cartoon-ish prankster nature and shows his loyalty to his teammates, who he he even tried admitting the act to, before getting interrupted. For now it seems that Iron Man villain Ghost has been blamed for the act.
- Iceman, in an early issue of X-Men: First Class, calls himself "The Bringer of Fun", and throughout the series generally acts like a lovable dork.
- In New X-Men this role is taken by both Santo (Rockslide) and Megan (Pixie). Megan who is just too cute and causes hallucinations of teddy bears and unicorns... to Wolverine. And Santo is the kind of jerk you gotta laugh at, roasting marshmallows over his classmate's head, or scaring his classmate worried about being killed by EXPLODING next to him on the sofa randomly.
- The DCU also has Bart Allen, aka Impulse, later Kid Flash, who even in his more serious Kid Flash incarnation was still epically hilarious. Then, came his run as The Flash. He died, for those who didn't know.
- Death Is Cheap! Yay!
- Stephanie Brown aka Spoiler, Tim Drake's girlfriend in Batman. She was temporarily killed off, but she was brought back through an Author's Saving Throw and had a fun run as Batgirl before the reboot.
- A subversion of this kind of character comes in the form of Kid Devil. Joining DC's Teen Titans after Kid Flash left, he was made to seem like the comic relief member of the team. However, unlike most of these characters, he was neurotic, envious, and very self-conscious. He projected a fun, optimistic attitude to hide his insecurities and the fact that he had sold his soul to get his powers. These shortcomings did a lot to make him more than just Kid Flash's replacement. His teammate Miss Martian comes closer to the spirit of the trope.
- Miss Martian was from the evil white martian race, but rejected that entirely to be one of the most bubbly characters in comics. At one point she got an evil side in her head, who she fought off via happy thoughts of puppies.
- Marvel has yet another fun personified character in the from of Morph from the Exiles.
- Nightcrawler of the X-Men was originally goofier, liked having fun, and played pranks all the time. Some of later versions of him downplay this quality or remove it entirely, depending on who is writing it.
- The original Marvel Excalibur was an example of this trope until being reimagined as just another Dark Ages X-book. The original idea was the most "fun" members of the X-men (Nightcrawler and Kitty Pryde) form their own team of European superheroes when it appears the other X-Men are killed. They were joined by other Fun Personified characters in the process.
- Warlock of the New Mutants was (and since his recent resurrection, probably will be again) basically a walking scribble made of semi-organic circuitry, prone to bizarre behavior and random shapeshifting (the "can turn into anything" brand of shapeshifters are heavily represented in this trope).
- Misfit of the Birds of Prey (who, in one possible future, ends up as Batgirl). DARK VENGEANCE!
- Joker's Daughter of the Teen Titans, as well as her actual father Jokester. Both unceremoniously slaughtered for shock value in Countdown to Final Crisis.
- The Creeper. Imagine the Joker in one of his wacky phases... as a good guy. Including the part where wackiness doesn't mean not being good at what you do.
- Mini Marvels are notable in that their universe is this compared to the mainstream Marvel Universe. The kicker is, all the superheroes are Peanuts-esque kids, Secret Identity is not a problem whatsoever, and most surprisingly, The Good Guys Always Win. In particular, their versions of most Crisis Crossovers always end up as self-parodies, like Civil Wards, which pokes fun at the unneeded conflict present in the Civil War.
- Beetlejuice. Nuff said. Though being the villain, it's a dark form of fun that the other characters don't appreciate.
- The Mask. (The original comic book version, not so much.)
- The alarmingly flamboyant but still heterosexual Ruby Rhod from The Fifth Element.
- Rodney Skinner, the Chivalrous Pervert Invisible Streaker in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. A stark contrast to Hawley Griffin, his counterpart in the original comics.
- Cosmo Brown from Singin' in the Rain.
- Darcy Lewis from Thor and Thor: The Dark World always has a funny remark to lighten things up.
- Harry Potter: Fred and George Weasley. Their goal in life is seemingly to make people laugh. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, their goal becomes making Sadist Teacher Dolores Umbridge suffer. Which also makes people laugh.
- Marunde in Someone Else's War.
Live Action TV
- Season 1 of Who Wants to Be a Superhero? had Major Victory, a flamboyant, over-the-top Flying Brick type of character, who was eventually eliminated for not taking heroics seriously enough... oh, and for having once been a male stripper.
- ...despite rescuing a crying girl, being helpful and nice to anyone and everyone, and walking across a backyard with a full-grown attack dog hanging from each arm without breaking character.
- Season 2 had Hyper-Strike, a hilariously endearing young man who was prone to doing martial arts (and circus) movements at random, not to mention over-the-top acting.
- The A-Team: H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock, who was literally Crazy Awesome.
- iCarly: Spencer Shay.
- Eric of Boy Meets World. You never know what you're going to get caught up in with him but you know that at the end of the (very long) day you're going to look back and say "That was fun!"
- Vala of Stargate SG-1. Any angst she shows about anything (tragic past, constant danger, evil daughter) is within an episode trumped by her sense of humour and lack of attention span.
- American Idol contestant Nick Mitchell/Normund Gentle, especially with his semifinal performance of "And I Am Telling You" from Dreamgirls.
- The emerald-skinned crooner, Lorne (no relation to Greene), on Angel. As often happens in anything tangentially connected with Joss Whedon, the character was deconstructed into an alcoholic, emotionally-repressed mess. How did he leave the series? By firing an execution bullet into an unarmed man (ending a lifetime of ardent pacifism), watching him writhe around and die, and slinking off into the shadows never to return.
- Flabber from Beetleborgs. He's flabberific!
- Subverted in a sketch on Important Things with Demetri Martin. "Bruce the Funny Dog" gives a glimpse of what it might be like to actually live with Fun Personified. Every time the camera cuts to Bruce the basset hound, he's wearing a different wacky outfit. This doesn't go over so well while his owners are dealing with a family tragedy.
- Doctor Who:
- Subverted by the Seventh Doctor, who was originally Enforced into this character type as a Lighter and Softer reaction against just how much Bloodier and Gorier the show had got during the Sixth Doctor's run. he spent the first season playing the spoons, doing magic tricks, being a figure of delight and whimsy and battling Camptacular comedy enemies with the loosest continuity yet. Then a new writer took over, who introduced 'comedy' monsters but played their effects in a dark and serious way (like the Kandyman and the Killer Clowns) and revealed the Doctor's apparent silliness was Obfuscating Stupidity, and Seven became one of the most alien, manipulative, and dark Doctors of the lot. When the series got cancelled the Expanded Universe picked him up and used him to codify all of the "Dark Doctor" tropes that the revival series later handled on-screen - like a serious examination of the Omniscient Morality License, Angst? What Angst? and the psychological profile of someone who'd do that much Dirty Business. In the New Adventures books, there's even a line that he doesn't play the spoons any more because he's too busy toppling empires.
- The Expanded Universe gives us the loopy lady time-traveller Iris Wildthyme, an in-universe parody of the Doctor with a time machine that's smaller on the inside, a happily sexual personality to contrast with the Doctor's Chaste Hero status, a tendency to take on handsome young male companions, and a deadly rivalry with legendarily pathetic-looking monsters the Zarbi. She occasionally crosses over with the Doctor in some sillier short stories.
- Big Finish Doctor Who often uses Mel like this - the Sixth Doctor's relationship with Peri (and Evelyn) and the Seventh Doctor's relationship with Ace are both extremely complicated. Mel is played by an over-the-top actress who did mostly musicals and Panto, and has a sillier relationship with both her Doctors and Timey-Wimey Ball writing that means her entire character makes no sense at all, so audios featuring her are usually Breather Episodes between grittier storylines featuring Peri or Ace.
- Hiro Nakamura of Heroes was originally written because the creator's wife pointed out that none of the heroes created so far actually enjoyed their powers. Since Heroes has Loads and Loads of Characters, that means loads and loads of "Having powers is AWESOME!" meant to be spread over a dozen or so people ended up condensed into one happy little Japanese man.
- Daft Punk. They take the enjoyment of their fans VERY seriously. Their iconic robot look is a way for fans to immerse themselves into the music and its themes.
- Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins. So very much, and you don't need to do more than watch any of their videos to understand why.
- *NSYNC were noted for frequently poking fun at themselves and their music videos and concerts were seen as more fun, especially since their chart rivals Backstreet Boys were more often portrayed as quite stoic and Perpetual Frowners.
- Buckethead is usually this to his fans. He's always masked and in character, wearing a fried chicken bucket on his head and acting in a childish, slightly creepy manner. He also decorates his rooms and stages in a spooky-silly sort of way, frequently does robotic dances and nunchaku demonstrations when performing, and trades toys with the audience.
- Dionysos/Bacchus can be this, Depending on the Writer (i.e. when, where, and by whom the myth you're hearing was recorded).
- Uzume, the goddess of laughter in Japanese Mythology.
Professional Wrestling
- Quite possibly the original "traveling face enforcer", the show off but largely non malicious Haystacks Calhoun.
- Koko B Ware, who danced around with his pet bird, wore bright colors, and was generally a happy-go-lucky guy.
- The Blue Meanie, Stevie Richards and Nova in ECW nWo parody group, the Blue World Order. They later reunited in WWE riding big wheels to the ring.
- The relentlessly optimistic WCW wrestler Disco Inferno.
- Rikishi, since joining Too Cool, and becoming a hip hop dancing sumo wrestler best known for his stink face.
- Kenny Omega, amongst the serious business that generally goes along with Canadian wrestling, here is a guy in leather coming out to Dr. Wily's theme going by the red baron "Destiny Flower".
- The Pink Ladies Jessie McKay and Madison Eagles as well as Shazza McKenzie, though the former two's fun often involved ruining the latter's.
- LuFisto, from at least her ARSION debut and continuously onward. She'll celebrate as if she's won a match after a few successful take downs even.
- Once you looked past the fact many wrestlers found Boogeyman even when he wasn't popping up out of nowhere to assault people and was officially banned from OVW's premises, you couldn't help but notice how much fun he was having with the whole thing.
- Geeky superhero Leva Bates, who unfortunately get too carried away dancing and what not to remember the match at hand.
- Su Yung's basic gimmick, before things got really bad. It took a lot of effort to make her unhappy and she would often imitate whatever it was her opponents were doing, having a very laid back approach to matches.
- This is more or less the gimmick for Percy Watson of WWE NXT season 2. He constantly dances, moves, laughs, poses and generally looks like he's out there to have a blast.
- Adam Rose has now taken up the mantle, traveling the country with a troupe of party animals in colorful costumes as he cheerfully cries, "It's party time, ALL THE TIME!"
Role-Playing Games
- Toon: The Cartoon Role-Playing Game is this trope in game form. It's hard to stay serious when your character has just suffered "smacked in the face from a giant ceramic narwhale flying through the car window damage". Taken Up to Eleven in some of the supplements, most particularly the Tooniversal Tour Guide and its parodies of other (more serious) RPG genres.
- Paranoia has been a darkly humorous game since its inception, though the degree of zaniness tends to vary with the specific GM involved. In the latest version of the game, however, this is codified with the "Zap" game style, which specifically caters to Fun Personified players.
Video Games
- Maria Renard of Castlevania is usually this, only being serious in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood she refers to Dracula as the "Bad Man", and basically treats defeating a man who rules Death as a walk in the park. In Castlevania: Judgment she's a Pettanko obsessed with breasts, and considers having large breasts a sacred gift.
- Star Fox: Panther Caroso is somewhat showing characteristics of this, at least when compared to Wolf or Leon. In fact, he's usually the subject used in various Japanese meme vids.
- BlazBlue's Taokaka is despite her fearsome face, utterly adorable and possibly the only character without a hint of angst and tragedy. Her voice helps too. Not to mention the extra-strength Les Yay with "Boobie Lady". Bang comes close, but he's got his own baggage.
- Makoto Nanaya seems to fill this role as well to a lesser extent, being a Genki Girl with a similarly cute voice and a propensity to utter completely silly things during a fight such as The Tick's catchphrase "SPOOOON!!" It helps that she happens to be an expy of Squirrel Girl.
- Freedom Force vs The Third Reich has the Green Genie, who manages the impressive feat of being Fun Personified by comedy Silver Age Pastiche standards. She zooms around on a magic carpet, turning Nazis into flowerpots.
- In Saints Row 2, one of the new Saints, token girl Shaundi, fulfills this role. Really Gets Around combined with Cloud Cuckoo Lander combined with a New Age Hippy style set of interests makes her one of the most entertaining characters in the game. Sadly, this characterization isn't kept in the next game.
- And to a lesser degree, Johnny Gat takes the form of a Dark Humor styled one. Almost everything he does is either act like a lovable psychopath or do something inhumanly badass.
- For every badass monster in Pokémon, there is at least one other monster that's meant to be just cute or silly or have a "gimmick" to them. They usually end up as Joke Characters or maybe as Lethal Joke Characters if they are lucky. Baby Pokémon are a great example.
- Perhaps the straightest example is Ludicolo. It's a big pineapple-looking duck thing with a lilypad sombrero that's known for Dance Battling (at least when used by Miror B, who's an example himself).
- In Dragon Age II, Hawke with the Sarcastic Personality is a nigh-unstoppable screwball in charge of protecting Kirkwall, cheerfully snarking at everyone and everything in the game. Of course, we later see that this is mostly an act designed to cover up the fact they're really just a Sad Clown, particularly after their mother's murder.
- Punch-Out!! has Disco Kid, who's always wearing an upbeat grin and doesn't seem to be totally serious about boxing (including jumping jacks in the middle of his matches!). There's also the huge, goofy, but ultimately quite friendly Bear Hugger, the game's Big Fun, who interrupts his rounds occasionally to dance and shout random things related to fishing and hockey.
Web Original
- Chaka of the Whateley Universe really fits this too. She's anti-Wangst, and constantly getting into silly adventures (being attacked by Tigger while trying to go on a date?). In the serious adventures, she's one of the ones constantly throwing out one-liners.
- Even more so than Chaka, Beltane (Kendall Forbes) and Thorn (Bob Rose, not the other Thorn) are in it for the wacky antics. Both have the power of creating and controlling ectoplasm, and both use it mainly for practical jokes. They seem to have a big joke-war going on off-camera now, and innocent bystanders keep getting turned into Pokemon or Easter eggs or things like that.
- Daisuke Saburo from One Piece: Parallel Works is this trope in shades. Even Word of God states that if Daisuke were real, he'd be very fun to hang out with.
- Chuckles the Happy Clown, who not only lives up to his name, but was one of the most effective crimefighters in the history of the Global Guardians PBEM Universe. Donato Spinelli, the player of the character, was generally thought as being the greatest roleplayer anyone had ever met, or had the pleasure of interacting with. He was able to make a truly funny joke while in the middle of the dourest of situations without once ever becoming a Snark Knight.
- Tatjana in the Chaos Timeline (mostly).
- Menelaos from Greek Ninja.
- Regular True Capitalist Radio caller 213 AKA Ghetto Capitalist. He often calls in the middle of a party and brags about how they're eating ribs and drinking beer. Knowing how he funded the party, this angers TCR's host Ghost.
- Breeze Rider from Dusk's Dawn cracks (bad) jokes many times in the short and tends to be a daredevil if flying through a forest counts.
- Both Yang Xiao Long and Nora Valkyrie of RWBY are light-hearted, rough-and-tumble party girls who happen to hunt monsters, and boy do they love their jobs. Yang has a pinch of Hidden Depths, however.
- The Cyantian Chronicles: Quinn, who (almost) never ceases smiling and trying to cheer everyone else up. Darius shows some of the requisite traits, though he's more prone to the not-happy side of emotions.
- Dr. Randy Disaster of Gunnerkrigg Court counts both because he teaches the most popular class in the school, and because of his fantastic entrance: He busts into a classroom (and into the story!) with no prior warning whatsoever, and drags everyone off into a ridiculous Space Opera simulator.
- Grace in El Goonish Shive. Bubbly to the extreme, she is insanely happy for someone who was made in a lab and witnessed the entire research staff being murdered by someone who physically and emotionally abused her for several years before she ran away. She is capable of being serious (especially whenever any of those things are brought up), but for the most part she exists to be cute and funny, which is what makes her so endearing.
- Lord Ikarion Daryil in Project Future , a DMFA fancomic. In the current arc (strip 170 and 171 ) he celebrates his ascension to tri-winghood by cosplaying as Jesus based on Ruling Class.
- The Jaegermonsters from Girl Genius, especially Maxim and Ognian. Being virtually indestructible Super Soldiers removes a lot of worries.
- Molly the Peanut Butter Monster from The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! A fuzzy pink girl-thing with a peppermint-striped tail, and pom-poms growing out of her head. Cheerful and childlike, she enjoys building impossible machines and writing crack fanfics. She revels in the fact that she can run around naked because she's furry.
- While Super Mega Comics has never been serious, it does poke fun at this trope with "Everybody Man".
- Nobody in Homestuck is safe from drama (how can you be when even the main characters have died at least once?) but of all the kids and trolls, Nepeta has the least amount of drama or emotional baggage, and pretty much exists to be fun and goofy while having little impact on the plot.
- Jade played this role too, being fun and bouncy, having game-based fetch modi, and being designed as a parody of the Mary Sue concept. Would engage in wacky antics like fake-fighting her grandfather and dog respectively, mess around with time and space like it was nothing special, and be generally Adorkable. Then she accidentally brought back her dead and severely traumatised dreamself, started talking to Karkat, and got stalked by Jack Noir. The fun, shall we say, toned down quite a bit.
- Spam from Zoophobia is this. He's silly, wacky, and lively, and is never serious.
Western Animation
- The Genie in Aladdin.
- Olaf the Snowman in Frozen.
- Princess Anna too, to a slightly lesser extent.
- Fred in Big Hero 6.
- Joy from Inside Out. She is the personification of happiness, after all.
- The Flash mostly takes this role for the DCAU, even in his (very, very slightly) serious moments.
- Nightcrawler in X-Men: Evolution is this, matching up with how the original Nightcrawler was in the comics.
- Likewise, Toad is this for The Brotherhood. It's to the point that a large majority of the shows comedy is derived solely from him.
- Beast Boy on Teen Titans. His comic self, while funny, could also be somewhat of a jerk too often to qualify as pure fun like Kid Flash, but his animated self definitely qualifies.
- In Rise of the Guardians, Jack Frost is this, despite his winter nature. In fact, he is the Guardian of fun.
- Naturally, Kid Flash in his Season 5 appearance follows this trope too.
- Subverted with Terra in the show, whose Fun Personified demeanor is to hide that she has BIG ISSUES.
- AQUAMAN in Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Boisterous Bruiser, Gentleman Adventurer and all-around life of the party.
- Pepper Potts from Iron Man: Armored Adventures thinks that being a superhero is this and thus really wants to be one because of how fun it is; even when Rhodey tells her that Tony was almost killed last week, Pepper responds with 'See?!'
- Who runs around in underwear? Freakazoid!.
- The animated version of Beetlejuice, probably moreso than his original film version.
- From Avatar: The Last Airbender, Aang started out as this - an interesting case, since he's the protagonist. He was bubbly fun personified - of course, as the series progressed, and the guilt mounted, this began to diminish.
- In the 1987-1996 animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Michelangelo is a party dude!
- Movies too
- He's this in the 2003 series too.
- The same goes for his 2012 incarnation. Needless to say, Michelangelo is usually Fun Personified no matter what continuity he appears in.
- Surprise from the original My Little Pony.
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has Pinkie Pie, who is the literal personification (ponyfication?) of the Element of Laughter, which is about as literal as the title of this trope gets. Her solution to every problem is to throw a party, and she won't hesitate to throw a party even if there's no reason to do so. Even in the episodes where she has real character development, she will readily defy reason and reality for the sake of a gag. Justified in that her motivation for almost everything is to make her friends smile — and she considers everyone to be a friend.
- "Too Many Pinkies" deconstructs this when Pinkie uses a magic pond to create copies of herself to spend time with all of her friends. The copies lack all of Pinkie's traits outside of being Fun Personified and are wholly committed to having fun. Worse, they are so dedicated to having fun that they bother everyone around them. The real Pinkie is driven to tears by her copies' antics.
- Spike, too, although he gets more development beyond the traditional sidekick.
- "Weird Al" Yankovic guest-starred on one Season 4 episode as a party planner named Cheese Sandwich. His passions and Pinkie's cause them to butt heads a bit over who could create the greatest party before deciding to work together instead.
- T.J. Detweiler from Recess, most of the time anyway.
- Mabel from Gravity Falls. Everything about her literally screams fun.
- TFA Random Blitzwing, depending on your idea of "fun".
- From the 1980s The Transformers cartoon, there's Warpath, the Autobots' only tank, who happens to be a big, jolly guy and always ready to laugh. He's almost the Big Fun as well, except he's not designed with a 'fat' physique. He's also a bit of a Blood Knight because he loves giving the Decepticons a hard time.
- James Baxter the Horse from ''Adventure Time has the uncanny ability to cheer up anyone by dancing on top of a beachball while neighing his name. Finn and Jake try to imitate his act and fail horribly, so it seems only he can pull it off properly.
Real Life
- Adam Savage of MythBusters gives off this vibe.
"I like to live my life as part action hero and part cartoon character."
- BRIAN BLESSED also has this feeling about him: BRIAN BLESSED is Odin in disguise. He's wearing a fake eye. Seriously.
- Robin Williams. The best application of this can be seen when Steven Spielberg would call Robin Williams from Poland to cheer himself up when filming Schindlers List got too depressing for him.
- Following Christopher Reeve's paralyzing horseback riding accident, Williams, his former classmate at Julliard, cheered him up by pretending to be an eccentric Russian doctor, saying he was there to perform a colonoscopy. Reeve stated that he laughed for the first time since the accident and knew that life was going to be okay.

ESPN's Front Row blog is designed to take its millions of fans inside the storied sports network, and at the same time serves as a platform to respond to public criticism of its practices. Photo courtesy of ESPN Company: ESPN Timeframe: April 2011 - Present Since 1979, ESPN has established itself as the voice for the sports fan. Having begun as a fledging network airing slow-pitch softball and wrestling, the Bristol, Conn.-based sports media network has, in over 30 years, transformed itself into one of the most recognizable brands in the world—and at times one of the most criticized. With its immense broadcast, radio and digital media platforms, and an estimated worth of $40 billion (according to Forbes) ESPN has become the 800-pound gorilla of sports media.

School Reviews
- September 26, 2007 - My stepchildren spent one year at Hollydale, and it was the most disappointing year of their education. Their mother actually purposefully moved out of the district to put them in another school. Although their "programs" were all up-to-date, the worst part of this school is that they do NOT want parents involved. The school staff and teachers are very closed down toward parents; they were VERY unhelpful in dealing with our children who come from two households. I find it hard to believe that our kids were the only ones with divorced parents. We approached the teacher repeatedly, but to no avail. - Posted by Parent

Time Stamp Errors and the Stock Price Reaction to Analyst Recommendation and Forecasts Revisions
This paper investigates the problem of time stamp errors in the IBES database. We show that IBES did not store the original announcement date of both recommendations and forecasts on U.S. stocks until 2001 and even later for other countries. The announcement date in IBES is often effectively the date on which the information was recorded by IBES and, therefore, systematically delayed. Using event study analysis and comparing IBES to alternative data sources, we show that the announcement day effect is underestimated in IBES while pre-announcement returns are overestimated as they often include the effective announcement day. We also show that time stamp errors in IBES are not randomly distributed in the cross-section but differ significantly across several firm, broker, and analyst characteristics. A consequence is that cross-sectional differences in announcement returns may be driven by cross-sectional differences in time stamp errors. We also show how existing research is affected by time stamp errors in IBES. Finally, we suggest three alternative ways to mitigate the time stamp error problem in daily IBES data.

Acquatic weed present own special problems
Warmer weather this week has caused many landowners to think about lat year's weed problems in ponds and lakes. Rains last year served to feed many of our ponds and lakes with nutrients.
Depending on what a body of water's watershed consists of, weed problems can be hard to address in some cases. The depth of water three feet from shoreline and overall depth also comes into play. Waterfowl and other birds can also transport certain weeds.
Aquatic weeds can be placed into four different groups, each having their own control methods. Algae, floating weeds, immersed weeds (foliage below water) and submerged weeds (most of foliage above water).
Algae are the most common and can be varied in shape and size. Out of all the algae, plankton algae is the best because it produces the majority of dissolved oxygen in a pond and is essential for fish survival. For this reason algae problems have to be bad before control is warranted. Most of the time algae problems can be caused by some outside nutrient load and once this is controlled the problem diminishes.
Floating weeds (such as water meal and duck weed) also get their nutrients from water rather than soil and even livestock usage can increase these nutrients. They can also be transported by birds.
Immersed weeds are rooted to the bottom, but have stems, leaves and flowers which extend above the water surface. They primarily occur on the shoreline in shallow water with a depth of 10 feet or less. Water lily would also be an example.
Submerged aquatic weeds grow under water and up to the water's surface.
Most submerged weeds have flowers and seed heads that extend above the surface. An example would be hydrilla.
Controlling aquatic weeds starts with pond construction and maintenance. Once a pond is constructed and is being maintained, weed control methods shift to mechanical, biological and chemical. Determining which of these options is best suited involves identifying the weeds to be targeted and the use objective of the pond or lake (fishing, water for livestock, etc.).
Biological controls such as grass carp work well when you are trying to control tender succulent vegetation such as filamentous algae and duckweed, but not so well when trying to control woody vegetation such as water lily or cattails.
Mechanical controls work well on large water areas but often are not practical on small ponds and lakes. Early removal is the key.
Chemical control can work on small ponds and lakes but proper weed identification is critical. Applications early in the growing season are important. These methods are often expensive and can have limitations.
Integrated weed management often works best but still depends on weed identification. For example, a herbicide application followed by stocking with grass carp.
The key in aquatic weed control is to know the weeds you are having a problem with and address the problem early in the year; early to mid-June through July and August is too late. If you had a weed problem last year, it will probably come back this year. Make you plans now.
For more information on this and other weed problems, contact your Henderson County Cooperative Extension Office at 826-8387, drop us an email at email@example.com or come by our office at 3341 Kentucky 351-East in Henderson (next door to Farm Bureau).
Ag appreciation
This year's Ag Appreciation Breakfast saw the Henderson community recognize two more outstanding individuals. Jim Embry's love for agriculture, quest for knowledge, and community involvement along with his quiet way of leading by example obviously gained him respect by his peers, and for that Jim and his family should celebrate along with the county in his recognition as Agriculturalist of the Year.
J. L. Beasley will long be remembered as a rock in agriculture and in Henderson County. His involvement with Extension, local agriculture and the community of Henderson will be greatly missed. The most recent agricultural initiative of locating an ethanol plant in the Henderson area to allow grain and livestock farmers to become more involved in value-added is a prime example of his support for agriculture and Henderson.
J. L. Beasley was the first person to walk in our office and write a check in support of the ethanol effort. He was always a leader and even though in his last months his health failed, his mind was sharp and any conversation with him was enlightening. He will be missed as his family and the community as they celebrate the honor of his receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award in Agriculture for his lifelong contributions to agriculture.

Report: Apple's iOS 7 to Have a "Flat" UI Design

Jony Ive is the man behind the OS overhaul
Apple has reportedly made some pretty big changes to
iOS 7
, including a "flatter" look pioneered by Jony Ive,
Apple's head of Industrial Design and Human Interface
In the past, software and hardware design
never really crossed paths
under Apple's roof. In fact, a report in March of this year pointed out that Apple's software design team for iOS typically sat in the dark on what the industrial design team was doing, but the two have started collaborating more as of late -- allowing software designers to get an idea of what devices their iOS projects will run on, and also give industrial designers a say in what the software will look like on their hardware.
This change (under Apple CEO Tim Cook) is showing its face with the iPhone/iPad's upcoming mobile operating system, iOS 7.
9 to 5 Mac
reports that Ive has had a huge role in designing iOS 7, and that the new look may shock customers who are used to past versions of iOS.
IOS 7 is expected to have a "flat" look, closely related to the look of Microsoft 8's live tiles. This is quite a break from the user interface designed under former CEO Steve Jobs, which follows a more glossy and life life look. The new OS loses all that shine and
currently lavished on users.
Apple's Jony Ive
While the design is flatter, the ease-of-use remains the same. There will be no learning curve for users, as the idea was to keep things simple (as usual).
The look won't be the only change to iOS in the upcoming version. There will also be an all-new icon set for Apple's native apps, and tool bars, tab bars and other interface features will get a fresh design.
Apple has also been considering adding more bundled information and options panels within the OS, like Notification Center. This would allow users to quickly glance at many notifications across their system at once. It hasn't been confirmed if we'll see this in iOS 7, though.
The changes aren't expected to please all users, specifically those who are used to the lifelike design with heavy textures. However, Cook has placed all confidence in Ive's ability to create across hardware and software.
"Jony, who I think has the best taste of anyone in the world and the best design skills, now has responsibility for the human interface," said Cook in a
Bloomberg BusinessWeek
interview this year. "I mean, look at our products. The face of this is the software, right? And the face of this iPad is the software. So it's saying, Jony has done a remarkable job leading our hardware design, so let's also have Jony responsible for the software and the look and feel of the software, not the underlying architecture and so forth, but the look and feel."
Ive stepped in last year when former vice president of iOS software
Scott Forstall got the boot
due to the Apple Maps debacle.
The changes to iOS 7 are not expected to give all developers too much trouble in the future, but apps built for iOS 6 and previous could be considered outdated since they're made to match old versions of iOS.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Apple was pulling engineers from OS X 10.9 to finish iOS 7. At that time, it was predicted "Ive's work is apparently making many people really happy, but will also apparently make rich-texture-loving designers sad."
Apple's mobile operating system is likely going through a huge overhaul because it's in the midst of creating entirely new gadgets, such as
the upcoming smart watch
. Reports have said that the new watch's OS will be built from the ground up rather than starting with the iPod nano's touch operating system (which has a screen about the size of a watch). Also, the iPhone/iPad's OS must be reconstructed to work with the new devices.
The watch is due out
as early as this year
9 to 5 Mac

Is that it?
Sorry, but not sure if iOS 7.0 is going to be a big deal or not. Their interface is considered by many to be outdated, not sure if this is an overhaul or just refacing the OS. I sort of expected more in functionality than just what looks to be cosmetic, but I could be wrong.
I'm not an Apple fan nor do I have a burning hate for it but just happen to see it as a competitor that helps drive competition. I was hoping that 7.0 would be a real ass-kicker to the industry to get others moving but it doesn't seem to be an improvement to what's already available, just more catch-up. Oh well, will have to wait and see if there are more changes in 7.0 that haven't been released as yet.

- The Key to a Great Staycation? Having a Great Place to Stay! 07/01/15
Over the past few years, the concept of "staycations"—staying at home and doing fun activities with the family in the area around your home—have become increasingly popular. It's not surprising. Airfares are outrageous. And while it used to be said that, "Getting there is half the fun," it's not like that anymore. Crowds, delays, missed flights: now getting there is a nightmare. It's not much better if your drive. Traffic, gas prices, and the stress of packing and driving all take a little bit of fun out of your vacation.

According to cshba.comm one of the most common questions homebuyers ask has to do with whether or not a new home is a good investment. We're not in the business of offering financial advice, but we think that question needs a bit of clarification because the answer depends on how you define "investment."

The effects of midazolam or propofol followed by suxamethonium on the QT interval in humans
Prolongation of the QT interval may produce potentially hazardous arrhythmias. The effects of midazolam or propofol, followed by suxamethonium on the QT interval have been investigated. Thirty patients, ASA I or II, without cardiovascular disease, electrolyte abnormalities or receiving any medication were studied. All patients were premedicated with midazolam 0.08 mg kg−1 i.m., 30–60 min prior to surgery. Anaesthesia was induced with either midazolam 0.4 mg kg−1 i.v., (15 patients) or propofol 1 mg kg−1 i.v. bolus, followed by a continuous infusion (15 patients). ECG, heart rate and arterial pressure were measured before induction of anaesthesia and at 1 and 3 min after the bolus of midazolam or propofol. Further recordings were obtained at 1 and 3 min after a bolus of suxamethonium 1.5 mg kg−1 i.v. and also immediately after tracheal intubation and 1 min later. Neither midazolam nor propofol had any significant effect on QTc interval. Prolongation of QTc was observed in both groups after suxamethonium and this was further prolonged following intubation. Heart rate and arterial pressure were also increased significantly in both groups following intubation.(Published Online August 4 2006)
(Accepted February 1996)
Key Words: QT interval; long QT syndrome; anaesthetic induction; midazolam; propofol; muscle relaxants; suxamethonium.
