Misery loves company.
 
A '''Breakfast Club''' is a gang of misfits whom no one likes and/or don't like themselves either get together or, more often, an elder, often a [[Zen Survivor]], brings them together: he (or, more rarely, she) just hides it better. A set of [[True Companions]] forms out of everyone's lives sucking so much they ended up stuck with each other.
 
Very common in superhero teams who, while, fighting evil, tend not to have flashy headquarters or a get a lot public support or respect. Also could be used for villains, when they're not qualified to be a [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]. Villain version usually led by a [[Nietzsche Wannabe]].

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Villainous example: The Seven from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]''. I mean, they meet in a freaking ''cave''. Plus, they're all pretty troubled people...
Line 42:
* The victors in ''[[The Hunger Games]]'' lean towards this. At least, the ones who aren't trying to kill each other. {{spoiler|Katniss, Peeta, Finnick and sort of Johanna, for the most part, and also Wiress and Beetee at first and Annie later.}}
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Dead Like Me]]''. The main cast regularly eat breakfast together at a [[Greasy Spoon]], as well, making them a ''literal'' example of the trope name.
* ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]'' (separate groups)
