Line 300:
* In the ''DCAU'', Darkseid shows rather blatant partental favoritism towards his eldest son Orion... Who is also his [[Arch Enemy]] and wants him dead. Not only is his other son, Kalibak, incompetent (despite being a devoted servant to Darkseid), but Orion absolutely ''hates'' having Darkseid's approval.
* [[Kick Buttowski]] plays this for comedy. Kick, Brad, and Harold all know Brianna is number one in the house, so they all compete for number 2.
* [[Bigger Bad|Grandfather]] from ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' openly states he favored his oldest son, Monty/Numbuh Zero, over his youngest son Benedict/Father. This is due to Grandfather's [[Blue and Orange Morality|bizarre]] morality: He liked Numbuh Zero ''because'' he was brave enough to stand up to him, unlike Father, who was a spineless coward by comparison (the fact he only recommissioned him because he couldn't defeat the KND all by himself just makes this worse) [[Deconstructed Trope|Evidently]], Monty neither appreciates nor wants this favoritism one bit, while Ben is obsessed with getting his approval.
* Cotton Hill of [[King of the Hill]] has said that he prefers "Good Hank" an infant over his grown son Hank mainly due to the facts that he was born in Texas and he didn't cry when he shot a gun near him.
* In [[The Simpsons]] episode "Eight Misbehavin'", while Manjula introduces their eight newborn octuplets to Apu, she introduces the last child:
Line 307:
** Apu is seen holding Anoop more frequently than the rest of the octuplets.
* One episode of ''[[American Dad]]'' had Stan trying to insist that Francine's (adoptive) parents did not love her as much as they loved their biological daughter, Gwen. Francine starts to believe it when Stan finds her parents will leaving all their stuff to Gwen. But later the father reveals that {{spoiler|they only left everything to Gwen because she's apparently a moron and needed all the help she could get, while they knew Francine was already well-taken care of because she married a good man}}.
