One character is down in the dumps for whatever reason. One or more other characters take note of this and go out of their way to help the depressed character out. Sometimes this interference helps, but often only succeeds in frustrating the person further or worsening the situation in some way.
Compare to Must Make Her Laugh, where someone (usually the Plucky Comic Relief) tries to alleviate the atmosphere for a perpetually moody person (usually the Emotionless Girl). In a more serialized show, a Cheer Up Episode can be used to address a particularly bad Heroic BSoD or bring someone back from a Despair Event Horizon. If subverted, see "Shaggy Dog" Story and Mistaken for Brooding.

In the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode "The Gang Broke Dee", the Butt-Monkey status that Dee has in the gang is deconstructed to its natural conclusion as the episode starts with Dee having reached the Despair Event Horizon, eating "trash-cake", smoking and correctly guessing the gang's insults before they give it. Feeling guilty (and not finding it fun to insult her if she doesn't fight back) they try and cheer her up by being willing to laugh at her stand-up. She is quickly cheered-up when people actually find her funny. That is, until it is revealed that Frank payed off the audience to laugh.

Parks and Recreation:
Invoked at first in "Tom's Divorce", where Tom is getting divorced from Wendy. Leslie, unaware that the two were only together for a Citizenship Marriage meant to keep Wendy from being deported back to Canada, tries to cheer Tom up. He plays along with it to get her to lay off, but then it's played straight when he ends up realizing that he does like Wendy, who herself doesn't reciprocate.
In the B-Plot of "Pawnee Rangers", Donna and Tom notice that Ben is sad and decide to invite him to join them on their annual "Treat Yo Self" day where the aim is to treat yourself to a spending splurge on nice spa treatments, the finest material goods, and luxurious food and drink. Ben is unable to get the hang of it initially until Donna asks him what he'd like to splurge on for himself. He buys a full Batman costume. He then breaks down crying and admits he's depressed because he can't deal with his break-up with Leslie.
In the B-plot of "Ben's Parents", Chris is having an emotional meltdown as the therapy sessions he's started attending have dredged up the emotional issues he's been keeping a lid on for the past several years. Ann sees this and takes it upon herself to comfort Chris, recruiting April and Andy's help to try to help him through this, staying by his side the whole night and reminding him he's not alone.
In the episode "Correspondents' Lunch", Andy is depressed after failing the police exam. Ben is at his job trying to decide what charity to support, and April tries to engage Andy in helping Ben pick a charity. When Ben doesn't choose the charity Andy picked, April explains to Ben that he should pick Andy's charity because Andy needs to get his spirits lifted even just a little bit.

Smiling Friends: While technically almost every episode is one, with the protagonists' job being cheering people up, the pilot is a clear-cut parody: The man they must cheer up isn't just down in the dumps, he's on the verge of suicide and holds a gun to his temple almost the entire time.

Theodore Tugboat: In "Foduck's Hurt Feelings", Foduck accidentally sprays The Dispatcher with his fire hose while trying to spray Theodore, causing The Dispatcher to yell at him. This makes Foduck think that The Dispatcher doesn't like him anymore, and he runs away to a gloomy cove. Theodore tries to cheer Foduck up by telling him to spray him, but Foduck tells him that was what got him in trouble in the first place. Theodore eventually manages to cheer Foduck up when he helps him clean up some barrels that spilled into the water, as well as tell him they can still be friends even if he did yell at him. The Dispatcher also apologizes to Foduck and tells him he will always like him no matter what.

In an episode of The Powerpuff Girls (2016), Bubbles ("the joy and the laughter" of the group) is uncharacteristically depressed. Her sisters try to find the root of her trouble, from thinking it's an evil plot by Mojo Jojo, to blaming themselves for any arguments they had in the past. Eventually the professor teaches them its okay for people to be sad sometimes and not articulate a reason, and being there is enough without trying to "fix" the sad person.

The Ren & Stimpy Show episode "Stimpy's Invention" does a demented take on this trope. Noting how Ren is always in a violently upset disposition, Stimpy creates the Happy Helmet, a machine that forces whoever wears it to become happy, and puts in on Ren. Ren is left struggling to fight the helmets influence through the duration of the episode, and finally succeeds in overcoming it towards the end by smashing it with a hammer multiple times. Back to normal, a livid Ren strangles Stimpy for all his troubles, only to realize something; Anger brings him happiness!

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had a couple of plots like this:
The subplot of "A Man Alone" involved Chief O'Brien trying to cheer up his wife Keiko, who was bored and depressed as she had nothing to do on the station, and eventually had her open a schoolroom for the children living aboard.
The main plot of "In The Cards" involved Jake (and a reluctant Nog) trying to get a vintage 1951 Willie Mays rookie card for Captain Sisko to take his mind off the looming Dominion War for a little bit. Thanks to a Chain of Deals to get the card (and some bumbling that nearly gets them killed by the Dominion) they end up cheering up most of the senior staff as well.

Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide:
In "Guide To Boys", Ned is so depressed about Suzy leaving that he gets a horrible case of writer's block. To fix this, his friends whisk him away for a "men's" day, and eventually show him a dramatic recreation of the formation of the guide, in an effort to get his passion back.
"Guide to Positives and Negatives" has Ned trying to make Mark Downer, the school's new pessimistic and gloomy student, happy. All attempts fail, until he sets Mark up on a date with the equally negative Goth, Sarah.

The Loud House
In "Back Out There", Clyde, Liam, Rusty, and Zach worry that Lincoln might be hung up on Ronnie Anne moving after seeing him recurrently stop by her former house and try helping him get his mind off her while being discrete about it. This cumulates in booking him for a vacation, at which point the friends tell Lincoln why they did what they did. Lincoln tries to tell his friends that he isn't hung up on Ronnie Ann, but they think he's in denial and shove him on the bus to the destination. Ronnie Ann herself calls right after and confirms that Lincoln really wasn't depressed about her departure; the real reason he stopped by her house all the time was to get a package she sent for him there.
Zigzagged in "The Crying Dame"; Lily will not stop crying even though her older siblings have tried everything else, so Lori gives her Fenton The Feel-Better Fox, a singing and dancing fox toy that she played with when she was a baby. This works, but a little too well, as Lily will not stop playing the song, annoying her older siblings for three straight days. Lily's older siblings take Fenton to the garbage dump during a diaper change, but as a result, this leaves Lily depressed. Her older siblings try everything they can to cheer Lily up, but the only thing that will work is bringing Fenton back. They try to do so, but Fenton gets crushed into a cube. In the end, Lincoln dresses up as Fenton and he and his sisters sing Fenton's song, which makes Lily happy again.

In "Eeyore, Be Happy!", a Winnie the Pooh book, Tigger believes that an earthquake is coming to the Hundred-Acre Wood after hearing it from Eeyore, which also results in Pooh and Piglet missing lunch at Rabbit's house. When Christopher Robin finds out, he tells Tigger, Pooh, and Piglet that Eeyore is just being gloomy again. When Eeyore tells his friends that no one ever taught him to be happy, the others try various ways to make Eeyore happy. Tigger tries bouncing, Pooh tries getting honey from the honey tree, and Piglet tries house painting, but none of their attempts make Eeyore happy. In the end, Eeyore decides that he likes being gloomy the best, because trying to be happy was too much work for him.

Young Justice: Downplayed in "Disordered", as Black Canary helps the entire team deal with the trauma the events of the previous episode "Failsafe" left them. However, Superboy leaves the session early and instead spends most of the episode aiding a group of The Forever People recover their stolen tech and dismantle Desaad's (one of Darkseid's minions) scheme to take over the Infinity Man. It's only at the end of the episode that Superboy returns and admits to Black Canary that while pulling his Heroic Sacrifice in "Failsafe", he was at peace with himself, and was too ashamed to admit it before.

The 3-2-1 Penguins! episode "Compassion Crashin'" focuses on Jason and the Rockhopper crew trying to cheer up Michelle, and failing at it. Its moral actually focuses on how trying to cheer someone up instead of listening to them can backfire.

In "Jellyfishing", Squidward rejects SpongeBob and Patrick's invite to join them in the titular sport. After a devastating bike accident off a cliff, Squidward returns home wrapped in a full body cast and confined to an electric wheelchair. SpongeBob and Patrick attempt to give the reluctant Squidward the "best day ever" which included jellyfishing which just made Squidward's day go from bad to worse.
In the episode "Texas", Sandy becomes homesick for her home state, prompting Spongebob and Patrick to gather many of Bikini Bottom's residents to have a party to make her feel at home.
In the infamous episode "Are You Happy Now", Squidward reveals that he has never had a happiest memory, so Spongebob takes it upon himself to make one for the Squid. None of his attempts work, and instead Squidward is sent into a seemingly suicidal depression. Spongebob's last attempt is to make a party full of Spongebob mannequins, which gets Squidward to admit that he doesn't want a happiest memory, only to make one anyway by mauling the mannequins.

Done twice in El Goonish Shive. Once for Grace's birthday, and once for the party in Reflections, both times while a character note (Grace and Ashley, respectively) was dealing with the fallout of traumatic events.note Grace's murderous brother Damien had just been defeated, her other brothers were safe but separated from her, and her usual bubbly demeanor had fallen into a deep funk. Tedd even viewed the party as a must-succeed event "for the sake of Grace's bubbles". Conversely, Ashley had been forcibly exposed to magic via being kidnapped by an aberration and a dimensionally-displaced version of Elliot. Both parties worked, for what it's worth.

One sketch in Eureeka's Castle revolves around Eureeka being upset as she works in her study. Magellan, meanwhile comes in and starts singing, dancing, and doing goofy bits. At first, Eureeka is a bit annoyed because she's trying to concentrate, until it occurs to her that he realized she was upset and was trying to cheer her up. That alone ends up making her feel better.

Ed, Edd n Eddy: In "Little Ed Blue", Ed is in an uncharacteristically bad mood, so the other two Ed's try to help see what's the problem (mostly Edd, Eddy really isn't concerned). This only gets both Ed's hurt multiple times. Eventually, it's revealed that the source of Ed's anger was a rock in his shoe, and Ed's back to his normal self once that's dealt with.

The Bolt Chronicles: In "The Kippies," Mittens gradually comes to the realization that she will never have kittens, being greatly saddened by this. Bolt tries to comfort her with a spooning hug, telling her that he won't have offspring either and to be happy for the advantages she has. He eventually succeeds in cheering her up.

South Park: In "Raisins", Stan falls into a depression after Wendy breaks up with him, so his friends try to show him there's other girls out there by taking him to the titular restaurant. This only makes Stan feel worse, and he ends up joining the Goth Kids. Eventually, he leaves the Goth Kids when they see Butters crying over feeling dumped by one of the Raisins girls and asks him to join them, only for Butters to call them out for hating life since he'd rather love his life and look on the positive sides of it than hate his life and be a "faggy Goth Kid". This gets through to Stan, since he also prefers to love his life more than hate it.

A number of Friends episodes have this kind of plot. Examples include:
The very first episode, where Ross discovers his now ex-wife swung for the same team, so Joey and Chandler console him about it. Meanwhile, Rachel has this and a Welcome Episode combined, having run out on her wedding and being cut off financially, leaving Monica to support her during her time of need.
"The One with George Stephanopoulos": Joey and Chandler invite Ross to a hockey game to help him get over his marital problems. In the same episode Monica and Phoebe try to take Rachel's mind off how crappy her new life is, but just end up bumming themselves out too after admitting that they have no plans for their own lives.
"The One with Joey's Dirty Day": The girls try to cheer Chandler up after his breakup with Cathy.
