Character description
Droopy is a tiny, very melancholic, and slow-moving dog. He has a white patch of fur and his mouth has massive jowls. His black ears are long, and above the top of his head is a patch of red hair.
In sharp contrast to all the zany characters that surround him, Droopy exhibits little to no emotion. He doesn't appear to go fast and his face is usually locked to a single, gloomy frown. Despite his seemingly unflattering looks, Droopy has a sharp mind of his own. He is intelligent and is shrewd enough to outwit anyone, including his enemies.

Family Guy
- Main article: Family Guy
- "Oceans Three and a Half:" Stewie says that he and Susie will get along better than Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes in the political talk show Hannity and Colmes, which is followed by a cutaway gag that plays off Hannity demeaning Colmes on the show but Colmes is replaced by Droopy.
- "Brian Writes a Bestseller:" Stewie mentions being a skin holder for Melanie Griffin. He struggles to hold on until he can't any longer, then Melanie's face sags down like Droopy and she speaks like him, lamenting, "I should have stayed in bed."
- "Peter Problems:" When Lois asks Dr. Hartman to prescribe Peter enhancement pills for his erectile dysfunction, he thinks they are antidepressants, which a cutaway gag reveals he had been prescribing to Droopy, who has since felt things are getting increasingly harder for him.
- "Saturated Fat Guy:" When Lois forces the family to eat healthy, Peter tells her that looking better doesn't solve anything and uses Droopy as an example. The scene cuts to Droopy, who after getting a facelift has been left with a permanent smile, and is about to shoot himself in the face with a gun. Droopy tells the audience to study his brain so that no one else suffers as he did.
