A character whose motivation is public approval and praise - he lives solely to bask in the adulation of the cheering spectators, to hear the roaring applause rise up as he performs. More often than not a (former) prizefighter or another competition sport persona, or a musician.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In a world where Gladiator Games are a preferred form of entertainment, the Crowd Pleaser will find his adoring crowds much more easily in the Thunderdome or any fighting tournament, as they thrive under the deafening roars rising from the spectators. Fighting a Crowd Pleaser may be signing up for a Death of a Thousand Cuts, as they'll be more likely to draw blood and prolong a battle to get the crowd worked up for the eventual kill with their signature style, prompting the crowd's approval to Finish Him!
Villainous characters exhibiting this trope may be The Fighting Narcissist, prone to Trash Talk their opponents, especially in the show-sport of pro wrestling.

Pokémon Sword and Shield has an interesting variation with Raihan, the Dragon-type Gym Leader of the Galar region. Despite the Gym Challenge being a major spectator sport, he doesn't do much to address the live crowd, but his Rotom Phone is constantly flying around him with the camera on, and his Dynamax animation has him pose with the Max'd ball for a photo, indicating he's an internet crowd pleaser.

Gladiator: Proximo, now a lanista with his own gladiator school, was originally a gladiator himself. As he recalls it, nothing could ever compare to the thrill of slaying an opponent and basking in the applause of 50,000 spectators. He tells Maximus that if he wants to stand before the emperor, he will have to learn to do as he did:
