What happens when you combine The Pollyanna and The Cynic? You get a Gleeful And Grumpy Pairing. Often a source of comedy wherein the gleeful character gets the grumpy character into wacky situations that the former never would have thought of. But they can also be a great source of heartwarming moments, where the optimist can bring out the best in the grump... Or it could backfire, and the grump could bring out the worst in the optimist. A Sub-Trope of Odd Couple and Red Oni, Blue Oni. Compare Cynic–Idealist Duo (where the dichotomy of the characters comes from their externalized worldviews, rather than internalized personalities), Tomboy and Girly Girl, Sensitive Guy and Manly Man, Rude Hero, Nice Sidekick. Sister trope to (and known to overlap with) Ham and Deadpan Duo and Straight Man and Wise Guy. Smart Jerk and Nice Moron can also, and almost always does overlap with this trope, difference being the duo contrast in intelligence as well as temperament. |

The Ghost and Molly McGee features the eponymous duo, the miserable and mischievous Scratch (the ghost) and energetic, optimistic tween Molly McGee, whom Scratch has bound himself to after cursing her to be eternally haunted by him. Despite their differences, Molly is endlessly patient with Scratch's cynical demeanor, and deep down, Scratch genuinely loves Molly for being such a supportive friend, even if he has a unique way of showing it. | |

Girls und Panzer: The Absurdly Powerful Student Council is headed by The Napoleon Anzu Kadotani. She has two close assistants: the bright and polite Yuzu Koyama, who ends up doing most of the work; and the terse and unsmiling Momo Kawashima, who could be a bitter secretary at Evil, Inc.. Somehow, they mesh well enough to keep Team Turtle in the Panzer 38(t) an active participant in the sensha-do matches. | |

BoJack Horseman: BoJack and Mr. Peanutbutter serve as foil characters due to their different outlooks. BoJack is a snarky, depressed washed-up sitcom star who tends to see the worst in the world due to his harsh upbringing, while Mr. Peanutbutter is a ridiculously peppy former sitcom star who constantly finds success without even trying and treats BoJack like his best friend despite the latter wanting nothing to do with Mr. Peanutbutter. They also double as a Cynic–Idealist Duo. BoJack is also contrasted against his roommate Todd, a cheerful slacker who constantly has wacky ideas that get on BoJack's nerves. However, BoJack's cynical, overly judgmental attitude often makes Todd feel less confident, and part of his story arc is learning to break away from BoJack. Deconstructed with Mr. Peanutbutter and Diane's marriage. While Diane is chronically depressed and always sees the worst in the world (Sarah Lynn even compares her to Daria at one point), Mr. Peanutbutter is very loving and tries to get Diane to have fun, such as by throwing her an incredible surprise birthday party. However, Diane gets frustrated that Mr. Peanutbutter expresses his love in such grandiose ways despite her constantly insisting that she doesn't like that sort of thing, while Mr. Peanutbutter gets offended that Diane never appreciates his optimistic worldview and keeps getting involved in very depressing and risky causes. This inability to reconcile their attitudes eventually leads to their divorce. |

The Simpsons: Ned Flanders and Homer Simpson have this respective dynamic. Ned is very jovial and kind, even when he is being mistreated, and has two well-behaved children. Homer abhors Ned out of jealousy for both his good lifestyle and popularity, as well as Ned's insufferably pious and goody-goody demeanor. Homer is also quick to get angry, especially when his three children (particularly Bart) misbehave. When he's in a good mood, Homer can also be the gleeful Big Fun at times, especially compared to Moe, who is more bitter and grumpy, and less fun-loving than Homer. In "Homer's Enemy", Homer is the gleeful one who wants to befriend a new co-worker in a clingy and annoying way, while Frank Grimes is a cynical No-Respect Guy who despises Homer. |

The Condemned (1976) has this dynamic between Feng Da-gang, a former bodyguard being sentenced to imprisonment after being framed for working with bandits who robbed his former master and killed the master's family, as well as Feng's cellmate, Yang Lin, a pickpocket and thief who have a happy-go-lucky persona. Naturally, Feng is both upset, angry, and constantly quiet due to being the victim of a Frame-Up, while Yang, being The Gadfly, repeatedly cracks jokes in front of his cellmate and tries to troll Feng and get him into conversations which Feng would rather avoid, leading to an absolutely pissed-off Feng trying to smash Yang's brains out with a brick. But as the film progresses Yang becomes sympathetic to his cellmate's condition, and when both men manage to escape from prison Yang then actively helps Feng to clear his name. | |

Thomas & Friends: Sodor's two medium-sized tender engines, Edward and James have this dynamic. Edward is kind and patient, and doesn't mind what work he does, whereas James is vain and temperamental, hates doing jobs that are dirty, and prefers pulling coaches. Sodor's two express engines, Rebecca and Gordon, also have this dynamic, perhaps best exemplified in "Gordon and Rebecca, Coming Through!". Gordon has been working on Sodor for a very long time, loves to go fast, hates pulling goods trains, and is sometimes bossy to the other engines, especially if they're on his tracks, whereas Rebecca came to Sodor much later than Gordon, loves to travel at her own pace, doesn't mind pulling goods trains, and is very polite to the other engines, often letting them go ahead of her. The two engines who work on the Arlesburgh/Harwick branch line, Ryan and Daisy, also have this respective dynamic. Ryan is a cheerful and hard-working tank engine who is kind to everyone he meets and doesn't mind what work he does. Daisy, on the other hand, is a classy, sassy diesel railcar who prefers to do just what work she chooses and no more. She spends a lot of her time resting in her shed, doesn't like pulling coaches or trucks, and is particularly rude to coaches like Annie, Clarabel, and Henrietta. Salty the Dockyard Diesel and Cranky the Crane have this respective dynamic whenever they work at Brendam Docks. Salty is a cheerful diesel who enjoys working by the sea and telling tales of the sea to the engines who visit. Cranky, as his name implies, is a cranky harbor crane who works both day and night, never getting a rest (which actually becomes a plot point in "No Sleep For Cranky"), and he doesn't particularly enjoy listening to Salty's stories. |

Looney Tunes: In the early shorts, Daffy is the gleeful screwball who always laughs, while Porky is the Nervous Wreck who has to put up with him. In the later shorts, Bugs is a carefree and easygoing trickster, while Daffy is a bitterly sarcastic and frustrated loser who hates Bugs. Bugs is also the gleeful when paired with Yosemite Sam, who has a Hair-Trigger Temper. |

Cross Road has violinist Niccolo Paganini (the grumpy one) and his contracted devil Amduscias (a.k.a. Amu-chan). Niccolo has become a Jerk with a Heart of Gold as one of his ways of coping with his insecurities once people start turning on him when they realize where his genius comes from. Amu-chan, meanwhile, can't help but get excited at just the thought of beautiful music — but in some ways, his cheerfulness is also a mask. | |

Beavis And Butthead: While both of the main characters are clueless morons, Beavis is rather hyperactive and cheerful, while Butt-Head is more cynical and snide. Of the Highland High staff, the mild-mannered and tolerant Van Driessen has this dynamic with both McVicker and Buzzcut, who hate Beavis and Butt-Head with a burning passion. |

Bungo Stray Dogs: Dazai and Kunikida have this dynamic. Kunikida is extremely meticulous, serious, and a Perpetual Frowner who is easily enraged by Dazai, who is irresponsible, eccentric, and enjoys pranking Kunikida. Due to their mutual hatred, Dazai and Chuuya have a more extreme relationship as adults. Dazai acts overly cheerful and gets a kick out of messing with Chuuya, who is extremely rude and violent towards Dazai. However, as teenagers, they lacked this dynamic. |

Super Sons stars Jon Kent and Damian Wayne, the sons of Superman and Batman respectively. Like their dads, Jon is the cheerful, fun-loving, and energetic one who is just as happy to help cats out of trees as he is to punch supervillains. Meanwhile, Damian is the cynical, witty, and bossy one who is quick to rain on Jon's parade. The two of them frequently engage in Snark-to-Snark Combat because of this, but they're very much Vitriolic Best Buds. | |

Due to the dynamics of the study group, the main characters of Community are often put into such pairs, with Annie, Shirley, and Troy in the role of the Gleeful, and Jeff, Britta, and Abed in the role of the Grumpy.

Like J.D., Turk is an easygoing goofball, while his Love Interest Carla is more serious, often getting angry at her boyfriend. In season 8, bubbly Perpetual Smiler Sunny and harsh Defrosting Ice Queen Denise eventually start an Odd Friendship. |

Princess Tutu: The innocent, All-Loving Hero Ahiru/Princess Tutu initially butts heads with Knight in Sour Armor Fakir over perceived intentions towards Mytho. But revelations about Fakir's Dark and Troubled Past, Fakir's discovery of her secret identity, and increasing threats from the antagonists lead them to join forces and bond over their desire to help Mytho. Ahiru manages to bring out the softer side of Fakir, while Fakir gives Ahiru support and strength. | |

Animaniacs (1993): The Warners are annoyingly cheerful, while Dr. Scratchensniff is a Nervous Wreck who has to put up with them, much to his frustration. Pinky is cheerful and carefree, Brain is grumpy and irritable. They are still this in their own show, Pinky and the Brain. Slappy Squirrel is a sarcastic and resourceful old lady while her nephew, Skippy, is a nice and happy young boy (even if he does adopt some of his aunt's mannerisms as the series progresses). Runt is a happy-go-lucky Kindhearted Simpleton, Rita is aloof and sarcastic. Out of the Goodfeathers, we have the cheerful and naive Squit and the cranky, short-tempered Pesto. The latter always beats up the former. |

Annie and Mr. Warbucks, as well as Grace Farrell and Mr. Warbucks, in Annie. Though Annie was taken in by Warbucks more as a publicity stunt, and wasn't supposed to be a girl, she manages to soften him to the point of wanting to adopt her within a week, and makes him a bit more altruistic and open towards others, including Grace. | |

Bonkers: The titular character and Lucky Piquel have this respective dynamic. The duo are a pair of cops who work together to solve crimes in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. Bonkers is an overly energetic and hyperactive cartoon bobcat who frequently tries to win Lucky's praise, but usually just ends up ruining their missions with his goofy antics, until said antics prove to save the day. Lucky is a grim and ill-tempered human who hates toons and is often annoyed by Bonkers' antics. | |

Ready Jet Go!: Jet is a ray of sunshine who is perpetually optimistic, energetic, and friendly. Seannote Who has a subtle crush on him isn't all that grumpy, but he can be stubborn, a Nervous Wreck, and is prone to bouts of angriness and upsetness. Mindy and Mitchell's relationship directly mirrors Jet and Sean's. Mindy is a Cheerful Child who is enthusiastic and curious about everything. Mitchell is a snarky, deadpan, egotistical, antisocial know-it-all. Mindy helps draw Mitchell out of his shell and become a better person over the course of the show. Like Jet and Sean, they also have Ship Tease here and there. |

DuckTales (1987): Just about anybody Scrooge McDuck hangs around with will be more cheerful than he is, given his cynical and snarky personality. The kids (Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby), are, of course, kids, making them more playful and innocent than their grouchy uncle. It even rubs off a little on him as he warms up to them. Launchpad McQuack, Scrooge's personal pilot/muscle, possesses extreme patience and almost always looks on the brighter side. His kookiness and Scrooge's temper means the older duck spends a lot of screen time yelling and snarking at him, despite the Interclass Friendship between them. |

DuckTales: Snarky Lena initially befriends gleeful Webby for less-than-honest reasons as part of her Aunt Magica's evil plot to get to Scrooge McDuck. But Webby's unconditional love and self-sacrifice lead Lena to reject this plan. The kids and Launchpad often act as the gleeful ones to grumpy Uncle Scrooge as well. Della Duck is revealed to be the gleeful one with her twin brother Donald, especially when they were kids (though they both inherited the Duck family's Hair-Trigger Temper). |

The Nostalgia Critic regular Hyper Fangirl's sheer enthusiasm for fandom often contrasts against Critic's grumpy, snarky attitude, particularly in episodes like "Old Vs. New: Spider-Man" when she vehemently defends films she loves that Critic mocks as bad. Sometimes Critic brings her in to have a more positive opinion to contrast against his, and other times she scares him too much for him to protest against her fangirling (or she literally kidnaps him). | |

The Owl House: Luz forms the gleeful half with her girlfriend, Amity. Luz is friendly, joyful, and fascinated by the world around her. Amity is more serious, pessimistic, and condescending, although she opens up with the help of Luz. However, the roles end up switching in "Thanks to Them"; Luz becomes gloomy and self-pitying due to her Trauma Conga Line, while Amity becomes more upbeat and confident. That said, the Distant Finale has both girls becoming cheerful and upbeat adults after finally defeating the cause of their pain. | |

The European Disney Ducks Comic Universe has this dynamic with cousins Fethry (gleeful) and Donald (grumpy). Much of the humour stems from Fethry having some new hobby or mania that he pulls his very unwilling cousin Donald into. Considering that Donald is often the one who has to deal with the consequences of Fetrhy's gleeful craziness, his grumpiness is pretty understandable. | |

Sanders Sides: Patton (Morality) is generally the gleeful one to Virgil's (Anxiety) grumpy one when they interact. Where Patton is Thomas's heart, and thus is the heart of the Sides, Virgil is the gloomy Goth personification of Thomas's anxiety. While Virgil initially acts antagonistic towards Thomas and the other Sides, Patton's friendliness softens Virgil over time, and Patton eventually starts calling Virgil his son, which Virgil (mostly) appreciates (even though they are technically the same age). Patton and Roman (Creativity) also often act as the gleeful ones to Logan (Logic) when Logan is being particularly stubborn and serious. |

The titular duo from Banjo-Kazooie have this respective dynamic. Banjo will try to make pleasant conversation with everyone he meets, even if they're a boss character who's about to try to kill him, whereas Kazooie is very rude and snarky, often getting herself and Banjo into trouble, as several of the bosses wouldn't have fought them (and, in case of Nipper, would be willing to help) if not for her insults. | |

The A-Team: B.A. and Murdock have a Vitriolic Best Buds dynamic thanks to differing personalities. B.A., as implied by his nickname "Bad Attitude", has a short fuse. He doesn't like nonsense, which Murdock takes advantage of by doing all sorts of crazy things to get a rise out of him (including adopting different personas, starting a society for golf ball liberation, and carrying around a variety of Companion Cubes). | |

Steven Universe: Mr. Smiley, owner of the Beach City Funland amusement park, used to be in a comedy duo with a man named Mr. Frowney. Both their stage personas and their real-life demeanors match their last names. In the show's art book, notes for the episode in which they briefly reunite describe them as having even been lovers. | |

While she's no Genki Girl, Dagger is much more affable than her grim and brooding partner, Cloak. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation: Downplayed for Picard the captain and Riker the first officer. Picard is very serious, no-nonsense, and kind of stern, while Riker is jokey and romantic. Star Trek: Voyager: Downplayed and played with Harry Kim and his best friend Tom Paris in the early seasons. Harry is very optimistic and straight-laced, while Tom is more gritty and cynical, but in a crisis or under stress they swap roles, with Harry getting serious and worried and Tom getting more flippant and using humor to cut tension and keep spirits up. Tom and B'Elanna also become a bit like this when they get married, since she's short-tempered as mentioned, while he's become a bit more of a jokey goofball by that point. As Tom became less serious and Harry matured, they were each often paired in this way with Tuvok. As a Vulcan security officer, Tuvok was as deadpan/emotionless and serious as they come, juxtaposed against either human officer's happier and more friendly disposition Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Jadzia Dax is very quirky, likes to make silly jokes and tell lighthearted stories of her past. One of her closest friends is Kira, who angers easily and is rather serious. She happens to marry Worf, who is even more so those things. He even lampshades this aspect of their pairing during some cold feet before the wedding |

In Green Eggs and Ham, Sam-I-Am is a happy-go-lucky man who loves the titular food and comes up with many different ways it can be eaten, while the unnamed tall guynote named "Guy-Am-I" in the 2019 Netflix series makes it very clear that he doesn't like Sam or the titular food, and just wants some peace and quiet. He changes his attitude at the end of the book when he finally tries the titular food and decides he likes it after all. | |

Lost: Several Season 3 episodes pair happy-go-lucky Hurley with Jerkass Con Man Sawyer, including one particularly memorable occasion on which Hurley tricks Sawyer into being nicer to people, which Sawyer describes as "the lamest con in the history of cons." Season 5 pairs Hurley up with Miles, who was initially introduced as a Replacement Flat Character for Sawyer after his transformation into a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Just like with Sawyer, Hurley succeeds in getting Miles to lighten up and even helps him get over his issues from his father abandoning him as a child. |

This is the whole gimmick of the Game Grumps. Arin is the "grump" and John/Danny is the "not-so-grump." They aren't just pretending to fit into these roles, either, as some of the crew's most famous (near) rage quits come from Arin. John, the original not-so-grump, is consistently a jokester while Danny, the second not-so-grump, is famously chill even when he gets angry at a game. | |

Deconstructed with Mr. Peanutbutter and Diane's marriage. While Diane is chronically depressed and always sees the worst in the world (Sarah Lynn even compares her to Daria at one point), Mr. Peanutbutter is very loving and tries to get Diane to have fun, such as by throwing her an incredible surprise birthday party. However, Diane gets frustrated that Mr. Peanutbutter expresses his love in such grandiose ways despite her constantly insisting that she doesn't like that sort of thing, while Mr. Peanutbutter gets offended that Diane never appreciates his optimistic worldview and keeps getting involved in very depressing and risky causes.

Hilda: Downplayed with Hilda and Frida. Hilda is a fearless adventurer girl who loves the outdoors and Frida, while friendly, is The Perfectionist and Control Freak who becomes a nervous wreck and loses her temper when things don't go her way. Becomes a deconstruction when it ends up causing a Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure between them. When they reconciled with each other, it became a reconstruction; Frida learned that she doesn't have to be perfect, while Hilda learned to take things into consideration. Following the Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure mentioned above, Frida has this dynamic with Kelly who is grumpy and cynical, in contrast with her affable and sociable personality. It becomes a deconstruction when it's clear that Kelly is only trying to befriend Frida in an attempt to turn her into a Marra, so when the attempt fails she resorts to pushing her towards the Black Hound in order to save her own skin. In season 2, Hilda seems to have this dynamic with her mother, Johanna albeit downplayed as well. While friendly herself, Johanna ends up getting upset about Hilda keeping her in the dark about her adventures that she grounds her as a result. |

The Dangers in My Heart: Ky�tar� Ichikawa is a pessimistic First-Person Smartass who deconstructs everything around him as a defense mechanism. Anna Yamada is outgoing, childishly playful, and a bit spacey. Usually on covers and art alongside each other, Yamada has a bright smile and appears more comfortable with posing while Ichikawa keeps an annoyed and/or embarrassed frown. Ky�tar� is also this with his older sister Kana, who’s far more positive and arguably an even bigger dork than he is, much to his annoyance. |

In Questionable Content, Faye, a recovering alcoholic, becomes this with her robot co-worker Bubbles, who's a former military droid and something of a Shell-Shocked Veteran (it's complicated, however.) Faye's troubles in the past have mostly come from her preference for numbing herself with booze and not talking to others about her problems, so she takes it on herself to be Bubbles' cheerful friend and confidante, not entirely to Bubbles' unalloyed pleasure to begin with. However, it works out in the end: they become close friends and, eventually, lovers. | |

Much like Gumball and Darwin, Nicole and her husband Richard have this dynamic as well. While Nicole is often temperamental and serious, Richard is generally a happy-go-lucky Manchild who likes to have fun. Both Mr. and Mrs. Robinson are disgruntled Perpetual Frowners who hate everyone equally. By contrast, their son Rocky is a fun-loving guy who gets along with everyone. |

Arrowverse: Oliver Queen as the grumpy one and Felicity Smoak as the gleeful one from Arrow. Oliver also acts as the grumpy one to Barry Allen and Kara Danvers whenever they team up. Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow from The Flash (2014) are often this, especially at the beginning of the series when Caitlin is Defrosting Ice Queen. |

Pictured above from Up: Russell is a cheerful Wilderness Explorer. Only when faced with a threat or with the subject of his deadbeat dad does his mood change. Carl, a Grumpy Old Man trying to fulfill his and his late wife's dream, initially tolerates more than likes him. Eventually, he admits he's fond of the kid and "adopts" him. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: Downplayed and played with Harry Kim and his best friend Tom Paris in the early seasons. Harry is very optimistic and straight-laced, while Tom is more gritty and cynical, but in a crisis or under stress they swap roles, with Harry getting serious and worried and Tom getting more flippant and using humor to cut tension and keep spirits up. Tom and B'Elanna also become a bit like this when they get married, since she's short-tempered as mentioned, while he's become a bit more of a jokey goofball by that point. As Tom became less serious and Harry matured, they were each often paired in this way with Tuvok. As a Vulcan security officer, Tuvok was as deadpan/emotionless and serious as they come, juxtaposed against either human officer's happier and more friendly disposition |

Sora and Riku from Kingdom Hearts, especially more noticeable after the latter's Heel–Face Turn. Sora is a energetic and kindhearted hero who is always with a bright smile on his face and with a cheerful attitude, and uses light-related abilities. Riku is calm and composed, but also very troubled and brooding due to his past experiences, as such he doesn't smile very often and uses dark-related abilities. Together, they make a Light Liege, Dark Defender duo, with multiple characters directly comparing them to light and dark◊ over the course of the series, usually stating afterward that you can't have one without the other. This is also reflected in their clothing and hair color and style, with Riku's color palette and appearance always having a much more bleak and dark appearance compared to Sora (save for III, where Sora is wearing all black with red highlights while Riku wears a much cheerier palette). | |

Friends: Joey and Chandler are a downplayed example. Joey is more optimistic and excitable, while Chandler is more snarky and pessimistic but not that grumpy, and he and Joey often share enthusiasm for the same things. Played straight, however, when they go to London for Ross's wedding: Joey acts like an overly enthusiastic tourist, while Chandler suddenly becomes an irritable grouch who gets angry at Joey much more often than usual, to the point of being out of character. | |

Octopath Traveler has protagonists Ophilia and Therion. As while they are both orphans and had a really close relative that they consider a sibling (Lianna for Ophilia and Darius for Therion) that is where the similarities end. Ophilia is a cleric who puts in all of her faith in her family that adopted her and everyone she meets. Therion is a thief who keeps his distance from everyone since he has a tough time learning to trust others again until Heathcote and Cordelia Ravus came into his life. Some travel banter between the two travelers shows that Therion is telling Ophilia that she is having too much faith in most people that she meets. With Ophilia objecting back that Therion is shutting himself from the world so he can’t trust people again. Doubles as Opposites Attract as there are a lot of fans who love shipping them. | |

Beverly and Murray from The Goldbergs. Bev is manic, enthusiastic, and optimistic to the point of delusional, who smothers her children with love and attention (to their great embarrassment); Murray, on the other hand, is a lethargic, cynical lump of a man, who calls his kids "morons" (not without reason) and wants nothing more than to slump on his easy chair after a hard day of work and be left alone. | |
