Much like Fred Rogers, Bob Ross of The Joy of Painting became famous through the medium of public television and quickly gained traction as an icon for his calm, wholesome Nice Guy personality, contagious optimism, and educational premise. People all over would use episodes on his television show both as art teacher and meditation tool. Having ascended to meme-status over the years, Bob Ross as an icon became popular and eventually codified various tropes found on this very website, and with that said, popularity breeds imitation. His bohemian dress, perm haircut and the general visual aesthetic of his show is often parodied to death in happy little comic books, happy little movies, even other happy little television shows, all adopting his happy little tone and happy little catchphrases. Sub-Trope of Fountain of Expies and Stock Parodies. Related to Funny Afro (the "character dons an afro wig for a quick gag" variant). Compare Artsy Beret, the other image of artists in media. |

In the JonTron video "THE JONTRON CHALLENGE!", the second challenge pitched to Jon was to do a parody of Bob Ross. He ends up painting a stick figure peeing blood before instantaneously creating a (clearly photoshopped) depiction of a muscular Bob Ross in a snowy-landscape. | |

In one episode of Mission Hill, Andy, Jim, and Poesy are all watching Bob Ross, but act like they're watching a big sporting event. Highlights include Andy eagerly telling Ross to use his fan brush, and when Ross tries to think of what to put next, Andy excitedly says "A happy little tree! A happy little tree!" | |

Count Dankula's video on Bob Ross has him attempting to paint throughout the entire video — first Buddha, then a low-detail landscape with "the Devil's cabbage" on display, and finally just a massive "F" when he gets to the news of Bob Ross's death. He ends up destroying the first two paintings — the first via Megaton Punch, the second with a Cool Sword. | |

However, in the middle of his show, he's abducted due to his inability to pay back loans he owes.

LoadingReadyRun: Crapshot 259, "The Splines", the happy little tree is produced in (very simple) 3D on "The Joy of Rendering". The cold open to LoadingReadyLIVE episode 28 ("Blended Thanksgiving") had Graham's Ross panting a happy little turkey, starting with a children's hand-outline turkey and changing into ever more detailed turkeys every time the camera cut away, before becoming a literal turkey sandwich. The intro to Desert Bus for Hope 9 had Ross (again played by Graham) painting the DBFH logo using green-screen green paint to pull a Polka-Dot Paint. |

In an early episode of Family Guy, Peter is watching Bob Ross while learning to paint himself. This Bob Ross is a bit of a psycho as he adds a little bush and then tells the audience, "If you ever tell anyone that that bush is there, I will come to your house and I will cut you." Peter then complains how his painting doesn't look anything like Ross'. We are then shown that he painted a picture of the cast of Family Ties. | |
