English Language & Usage Asked on February 19, 2021
There’s a person I know who has the same opinion on everything. It never wavers from “very good” e.g.
That was a very good movie
Brazil played a very good game
The weather was very good yesterday
They’re not really an optimist per se, as a term such as the one I’m looking for could easily apply to someone with the opposite “very bad” opinion of everything.
What I’m wondering is there a particular term for someone who has the same opinion on everything?
This is a similar (but not the same) question, and although some of the answers here (such as yeasayer) could work in certain contexts, they don’t fully answer my question.
There is a somewhat broad phrase, Johnny one-note (or one-note Johnny), that covers repetitive views beyond simple affect
An opinion or viewpoint on a single subject or a few particular subjects which is frequently expressed by a person or organization
It derives from the song, "Johnny One Note", in a Broadway musical
a show tune from the 1937 Rodgers and Hart musical Babes in Arms. The lyrics tell a story of a male vocalist named Johnny who sang with a band and could sing only one note, but sang that note extremely well.
The person you describe is an emotional Johnny one-note.
It's a bit less colorful, but you could simply use the term one-note
unvarying in tone or emphasis : monotonous

I was going to post it as a comment, but looking at the definition in Urban Dictionary, it could be closer to what you want then I thought.
One Trick Pony - used to describe a friend, acquaintance or stranger, who has very few talents, sayings, jokes or skills. Definition on Urban Dictionary
"You're such a one trick pony!"
