* Slimer, the team mascot/pet in ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters''. Instead of "busting" him, the team lets him hang around and be the ComicRelief.

Added DiffLines:

* Scratch, the titular ghost in ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'', a lazy, shiftless grump who would rather eat and sleep than scare people (though he's really good at it when he applies himself). He attaches himself with [[ThePollyanna Molly]] after a curse gone awry and is forced to be her best friend.

* The TitleCharacter in ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'' is an interesting situation -- referring to him, the movie's tagline was "The name in laughter from the hereafter!", but the movie itself is more intentionally comedic than Betelgeuse himself, who is more of a MonsterClown.

* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': Danny Phantom himself qualifies. Although he possesses the power to become a ghost (which tend to be the source of most misfortune in the Danny Phantom universe), he is generally a pretty outgoing, BookDumb kid who can be a bit of a ButtMonkey. There's also the Box Ghost ("[[CatchPhrase BEWARE]]!"), whose job is to haunt...[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin boxes]]. Absolutely no one is afraid of him, and his bothering the main characters is a recurring gag.

* The first ghost-types to appear on ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' turned out to be pretty funny. They're fond of Creator/TexAvery-esque {{Eye Pop}}s and {{Wild Take}}s and clearly see their hauntings as pranking Ash and Pikachu, not attacking them.

* In the Creator/AbbottAndCostello film ''Film/{{The Time Of Their Lives|1946}}'' (1946), Lou Costello plays a ghost wrongly accused of treason, just trying to clear his name (with the typical Costello bumbling, cowardly comedy).

* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. Ghosts and spirits can be very scary, but the episode Changing Channels featured a very silly bedsheet ghost during their opening credits.

* In ''Film/{{Poltergay}}'', the five ghosts of gay partyogers have been partying in the house where they perished for 27 years. Those with CampGay mannerisms still affect them. The worst they do is playing mischievous pranks on protagonist Marc and teasing him about his butt since they're, well, gay.
