* ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'' has flipped example where Oswald, who was likeable enough in high school, had dumped a girl because she was extremely fat and never talked to her again after the second date (he specifically goes out of his way to avoid her). As an adult the same girl, now 140 pounds lighter, gets him to a agree to be handcuffed on the bed where all the guests coats are for a party. She then pulls his underwear down and tells him who she was; she actually told him her name at the beginning but Oswald had only remembered her as "porky" the fat girl
* Gender-reversed: Donny Doyle in ''[[Eight8 Simple Rules]]''
* In one episode of ''[[Fantasy Island]]'', Adrienne Barbeau played an overweight woman whose fantasy was to become thin and beautiful so that she could seduce the man who humiliated her in high school (who also happened to be on the island) and get revenge on him.
* ''[[Friends]]'', in at least one episode. Chandler has always been a [[Man Child]], apparently since he ''was'' a child, and there was one incident in high school where he pantsed a girl during a school play or something. When they happen to bump into each other as adults she's played by Julia Roberts. Since at this point in the series Chandler is an [[Unlucky In Love]] [[Butt Monkey]], he's grateful for the attention from someone so hot, and very grateful that she seems to have forgiven him. In fact, he's so grateful for it that he goes along with it when she expresses an interest in him wearing woman's underwear for a day, and then having sex in a bathroom stall. Of course, she takes his clothes and leaves. [[Don't Explain the Joke|Turns out she hadn't forgiven him]].
