Like Parent, Like Spouse: Difference between revisions

 
Line 115:
* Discussed in ''[[Home Movies]]''. Brendan starts putting on weight, so Coach McGuirk tells him to go for the girls whose fathers were fat during their "impressionable years." McGuirk later on goes on a disasterous date with the school nurse, and one of the first questions he asked was if her father was fat. In another episode, he drunkenly tells his date "Y'know, I think it was Charles Darwin who said that men want to marry their mothers. So maybe that's why I like you, cause you remind me of my mother. Which is funny, because I hate my mother..."
* In one episode of ''[[American Dad]]'', Hayley dates her father's CIA body double.
* ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'': Kuki/Numbuh Three's [[Love Interest]] Wally/Numbuh Four turns out to be extremely similar to her father Kani in terms of personality, as they're both [[Hair-Trigger Temper|short-tempered]] yet [[Fragile Flower|sensitive]] [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Jerks with Hearts of Gold]] who hate Rainbow Monkeys and are very protective and loving towards her. Best seen in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOM-mQDn05E their scenes together] in "Operation: HOTSTUFF". This goes the other way too, as Wally's parents are [[Genki Girl|cheerfully]] [[Nice Guy|sweet]] people just like Kuki.
** The same goes with Abby/Numbuh Five. Her father is based on [[Bill Cosby|a certain comedian]], complete with catchphrases, yet he's also a very kind person who works as a doctor. Her [[Love Interest]] is Hoagie/Numbuh Two, an [[Adorkable]] [[Gadgeteer Genius]] who is fond of telling [[Incredibly Lame Pun|bad jokes]]. The reveal her dad used to be a clown in "Operation: CLOWN" just pushes this further.
