Line 120:
:* In another episode, Homer becomes the coach of Lisa's new soccer team.
* One might think this is how Sterling [[Archer]] keeps his job, the abuse [[My Beloved Smother|Malory]] heaps on him notwithstanding.
* In ''[[Dinosaucers]]'', Teryx claims that the reason Bonehead - Anklo's [[The Ditz| woefully stupid nephew]] - in only on the team because he's Anklo's nephew. The [[Big Bad]] actually feels a little sorry for Anklo after learning this. To be completely fair, Anklo's sister is a brilliant scientist who has a ''lot'' of authority on Reptilon.
* In ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]'', it is implied that Mariner's "unorthodox" methods would have gotten her court-marshaled and thrown in the brig years ago, had her mother not been the Captain of the ''Cerritos'' - and that might have happened ''anyway'' if not for the fact that [[Daddy's Girl|Mariner's father is an Admiral]].
** The episode "Crisis Point", where the whole ship finds out about it, is pretty much an expository of why this is ''not'' a good idea, as the officers are now afraid to discipline Mariner, some of them showing her favoritism, and ''everyone'' trying to be nice to her as a way to suck up to her parents. The headache Mariner gets from it makes her apply for a promotion and transfer, which she has never wanted before.
