* Dan of ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' is utterly ''terrified'' of horror games, or even games that feature {{jump scare}}s. He freely admits to spending most of their playthroughs of such games [[SafeUnderBlankets wrapped in a blanket]] or hiding behind the couch, screams out loud at the slightest provocation, will be reduced to whimpering and crying even during the ''buildup'' to a scare, has pulled a ScrewThisImOuttaHere on many occasions, and has, on at least two occasions, claimed to have ''actually soiled himself'' during a scare. Even during [[HalloweenEpisode Ghoul Grumps]] in 2017, where Arin went out of his way to find hilariously bad and unscary games like "Tungulus" and "Chicken In The Darkness", even ''these'' games manage to scare Dan on several occasions each.

Generally, what distinguishes the Lovable Coward from his far more vicious cousin is [[AtLeastIAdmitIt honesty]]. While the Dirty Coward acts intimidating and cruel when in control of the situation, only revealing his true yellow streak when he realizes the possibility of being injured or killed, the Lovable Coward admits up front he's not the person you want watching your back in a dangerous situation, and tries to avoid being forced into a situation where others have to suffer for his lack of valor. If his friends get set on going to the [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Doomed Valley of the Eternal Torment]], he advocates that maybe [[OnlySaneMan it's a good plan to avoid anywhere in the same country from then on]] and, if critical that he goes, will actually tag along ([[SourSupporter heavily armored, and grumbling]]).

The Dirty Coward will do anything to escape the situation once the odds are against him and would never face his fear, while the Lovable Coward may take that opportunity to reveal himself as a CowardlyLion and brave the situation despite everyone knowing just how scared his is, because his friends mean more to him than his own self-security when push comes to shove.

* ''Fanfic/CheatingDeathThoseThatLived'': Platinum is a rare PlayedForDrama example, being a mediocre Career trainee who goes into the Hunger Games after an unwanted DisqualificationInducedVictory in the academy ranking system.

* Tyler from ''WebVideo/EscapeTheNight'' says he hates surprises and aa soon as something pops up hides behind a curtain(or other guest) and screams like a little girl. While this is true, he’s still very endearing and his cowardice is mostly played for laughs rather then drama. He also TookALevelInBadass at the end of the season.
