{{quote|'''Lewis''': Is dinner always like this?
'''Art''': No, last night we had meatloaf. }}
* In ''[[Ice Age]]'', when Manny, Sid and Diego steal a melon from the dodos, the dodos fight back hysterically (and ineffectually) prompting Manny (played by Ray Romano, who's [[Everybody Loves Raymond|seen this trope played out many times before]]) to comment, "Wow, dinner ''and'' a show."

Line 35:
* If we are to go by ''[[Six Feet Under]]'', family dinners can get quite interesting when one member of the family has had ecstasy. Without him knowing about it.
* So common on ''[[Picket Fences]]'' whenever they have dinner guests, that lawyer Wambaugh [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] it when urging another guest to accept an invitation: "Strange things happen when they ''eat''."
* ''[[Californication]]'' seems to be going out of its way to have one of these every series. They're yet to top the one from series 2 though.
* One [[Saturday Night Live]] sketch was an advertisement for the greatest hits of dysfunctional family holiday dinners (for those who can't make it home this year). Each one ended with the father (Will Ferrell) yelling "*BLEEP* this, I'm leaving!" and flipping his dinner plate into the air. What really made this funny was that Ferrell's plate flips just got harder every time until the last one where he practically launches it across the table.
* On ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', Thanksgiving dinner at the Bennet house starts with a massive argument and ends with Claire self-mutilating in order to demonstrate her [[Healing Factor]], causing her mom's new boyfriend to pass out. Meanwhile, at the Petrelli house, they discuss {{spoiler|how one of the brothers is actually dead, with his memories transferred into the body of a mindwiped shapeshifting villain}}.
== Theater ==
* This is the basic premise of the stage comedy ''[[You Can't Take It With You]]'' by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart.
== Western Animation ==
