{{quote|'''Timmy''': Don't worry about forgetting that my birthday was today, Mom and Dad. It's OK.<br />
'''Dad''': What?! Forgot your birthday?<br />
'''Mom''': We'd never forget your birthday, [[My Name Is Not Durwood|Tommy]]!|''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]''}}
 
Line 71:
* In one episode of ''[[Full House]]'', everyone really did forget about Kimmy's birthday because D.J. was busy with the anniversary of her first date with Steve, which fell on the same day. Kimmy sees right through the others' attempt to do a birthday once D.J. realizes the mistake (it's a comment from Steve that tips Kimmy off), but they're forgiven.
* In ''[[That 70s Show]]'', Red and Eric really did forget Kitty's birthday, and then tried to pretend like they were planning to invoke this trope all along by giving her some cheap presents they'd bought at the gas station at 11:40 P.M. She sees right through it, leading to:
{{quote| '''Red:''' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Well, Kitty, marking the calendar is your responsibility!]]<br />
'''Eric:''' [["No. Just... No" Reaction|Dad: No!]] }}
* ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'': Hal does this to Lois, his programmed watch didn't go off.
Line 109:
* On ''[[Total Drama Island|Total Drama World Tour]],'' [[Cool Loser|Cody]] is so used to people forgetting his birthday that ''he'' forgets it...but [[Loony Fan|Sierra]] doesn't. ''[[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Awwwww]].''
* ''[[God, the Devil and Bob]]'': God forgets the Devil's birthday, and Bob ends up playing therapist to the two of them.
{{quote| '''The Devil''': I'm supposed to believe that he forgot my birthday? He's omniscient!}}
* [[Looney Tunes]] has a variation. [[Daffy Duck]] finds out mice are having a party to which he is not invited, and attempts to crash it... only to find out in the end it was a surprise party for '''his''' birthday, which he forgot about.
* In "Moe'N'a Lisa", an episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', Homer forgets he made plans to take Moe fishing on his birthday. Moe is devastated until Lisa, who sees a rich artistic side to Moe, decides to write about him for school.
** Another episode briefly makes use of this trope.
{{quote| '''Homer:''' I can't believe I'm being mocked ... by my own family ... on my ''birthday''!<br />
'''Bart:''' It's your birthday?<br />
'''Homer:''' Yeah, don't you remember? It's the same day as the dog's.<br />
'''Lisa:'''[gasps] Oh, Santa's Little Helper! It's your birthday?! We have to do something special! Yes we do!<br />
'''Homer:'''[muttering] Stupid lovable mutt. }}
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': Played with in "Party of One," Pinkie briefly loses it when the others have excuses not to attend her spur-of-the-moment party. It's only at the end that Pinkie realizes ''it's her own birthday'', and the others had made plans to throw her a surprise party well in advance.
