Ruby Gloom is a Canadian animated series that premiered in 2006, set in Gloomsville and centred on Ruby and her unusual friends who find joy in dark things. Misery, a banshee-inspired housemate plagued by constant misfortune, became a favourite for her deadpan gloom and theatrical wails. Short clips of her singing have resurfaced in nostalgia edits and cartoon soundboards, shared by viewers who grew up with the show and by new fans drawn to its gothic but gentle tone and distinctive characters.
