Line 120:
* ''[[Family Guy]]''
** Lois normally falls under [[Women Are Wiser]]. However, it's only really in comparison to her husband, as she gets a [[It's Been Done|gambling addiction]] in one episode, becomes a kleptomaniac in another, and when she gets elected mayor, embezzles from the town and accepts bribes. Lois' role in the show in modern episodes consists near solely of this trope. She generally only exhibits Straight Man behavior for a short time before acting as [[The Ditz|stupid]] or [[Jerkass|callous]] as her husband.
** Meg, in that she sometimes makes fun out of other Griffin members when the situation calls for it e.g. Chris being made fun
** Brian has been getting this treatment lately. Where he used to be the [[Only Sane Man]], the past few seasons have seen him developing more and more [[Jerkass]] tendencies.
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''
Line 131:
'''Family''': Huh?
'''Marge''': [[Lampshade Hanging|Well, why can't I be greedy once in a while?]] }}
** Marge even supports Homer and Bart bootlegging booze when Springfield outlaws alcohol.
** Even Lisa, often the [[Straight Man]] to Bart, often gives in to the antics normally Homer or Bart does. In "Sweets and Sour Marge", sugar was outlawed in Springfield. First, Lisa questions both Homer and Bart on going on a mission to smuggle sugar into the city. When she overhears Marge serving steamed limes, Lisa wishes them luck.
* Dr. Quinn of ''[[Sealab 2021]]'' tries in vain to avoid this, but especially as the series went on, would eventually succumb.
* Rebecca Cunningham of ''[[Tale Spin]]'', though somewhat [[Women Are Wiser]] and more educated than Baloo, shared his ego and stubbornness as well as lacking the latter's streetwise aspects and thus fell into this trope a frequent amount of times. Sometimes even he could be surprised how [[Cloudcuckoolander|out of her mind]] Rebecca acted at times.
