* An episode of ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'' revolved around Malcolm trying to help his classmate Dabney get into a paintball match despite the resistance of [[My Beloved Smother|Dabney's overbearing mom.]] Once Dabney unleashes years of repressed aggression, his mom comes around to try to drag him off.

* Troy has one in the ''[[Community]]'' episode "[[Community/Recap/S2 /E10 Mixology Certification|Mixology Certification]]". Over the course of the night his idolization of Jeff and Britta is replaced with the realization they can be just as ignorant as he is at times. Jeff even explicitly tells him he is a man now.
* ''[[Boy Meets World]]'' was one long one.
