{{quote|'''Marriage Counselor:''' Mr. and Mrs. Drebin, please - [[Tastes Like Diabetes|I'm diabetic]].
Some marriages [[Destructive Romance|are painful]], [[No Accounting for Taste|others are dead]], [[Happily Married|a few are happy]], and then there are those which are... ''[[Tastes Like Diabetes|cute.]]''

{{examples}}
▲== Anime & Manga ==
* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', Hughes has this kind of extreme affection for his wife Gracia and his daughter Elicia, but perhaps atypically, it makes him really likeable rather than annoying. It helps that he's a pretty [[Badass]] [[Knife Nut]].
** In the manga, Sig and Izumi Curtis (of all people) are so lovey-dovey that they traumatized Ed and Al when they were kids. They hang on each other, invoke sparkly backgrounds, had a [[Meet Cute]] involving a bear carcass, and frequently [[Battle Couple|kick ass together]] while cooing at each other. Go figure.
* Chet and Addy in ''[[
** It's mentioned that every once [[No Periods, Period|a Month]] Adi gets into a fight with Chet over the stupidest things. But always gets back together with him after he says some sappy line.
* Kazuya and Akane at the end of ''[[
* Umi's parents in ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' are more than [[Happily Married]]. They take any excuse to fawn and coo all over each other. Even Umi herself is thoroughly disgusted by their incessant, diabetes-inducing displays of affection and refers to it as "the perpetual honeymoon".
* Similarly, Mimi's parents in ''[[Digimon Adventure]]''.
Line 51 ⟶ 50:
* Katsuo and his wife in ''[[Yakitate!! Japan]]''. Their cutesy gushing only helped to encourage Kuroyanagi to eliminate Katsuo in the semi-finals of one [[Tournament Arc]].
* ''[[Eureka Seven]]'': Count the times Eureka and Renton argue with each other, come on. That's right, 1. They argued ''once'' in a 50-episode show. And that scene lasted shorter than 1 minute.
* Uranborg and Arkangel from the BL manga "Yasashii Ryuu no Koroshikata" after their [[Relationship Upgrade]]. Most of it is Uru constantly fawning over Ark, declaring his love and unending devotion to his "pledged one", especially after they get together. When Ark finally reciprocates, he eats Uru's words up like candy when he isn't getting shy over it. Take a look. (Warning: Spoiler.)

==
* Apollo and The Midnighter from ''[[The Authority]]'', surprisingly. They're very affectionate but will still rip out your spine if you make one of them mad and god forbid you actually harm one of them or their adopted daughter - you will wish you had never been born.
* Hourman and Liberty Belle in ''[[Justice Society of America]]''. Thankfully, the lovey-dovey stuff doesn't get in the way of them kicking ass in battle.
* "[[Portmanteau Couple Name|Richandamy]]" from the comic strip ''Zits'' are a high school relationship taken all the way to symbiosis.
** Amusingly, Richandamy were based on two college friends of creator Jim Borgman. They were actually named Rich and Amy, he was tall and she was short, and they practically were that inseparable. They're now [[Happily Married]] with three kids.
* Peter and Denise of ''[[FoxTrot]]'' were known to be like this from time to time. One occasion featured them in a rather sweet moment, in which Peter talked about how unbelievably great it was to finally have a girlfriend like her. "''Just'' great?" she responds. "Okay, super-duper-ooper-great." "You're so cute." And then of course Jason and Marcus as spying on them behind a clump of bushes, causing Jason to whisper to him, "If I'm ever that cute, shoot me dead."▼
* One dialogue from ''[[Empowered]]'': "No, you should wear that outfit (tee hee)!" - "No, you should wear that outfit (tee hee)!" No wonder the Caged Demonwolf [[Imagine Spot|imagines a scene]] with better dialogue, in his usual [[Purple Prose|flowery style]].
* In ''[[Monica's Gang]]'': in the teenage spinoff, Monica and Jimmy Five abandon their normal personalities of [[Tsundere]] and [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] and become one of these when they finally start dating. This ends up disgusting the other characters so badly that many of them start to root explicitly for the breakup of the couple.
* Aang and Katara become this in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise]].''
Line 73 ⟶ 71:
* In ''Antz'', Chip and Muffy (the [[Cultural Posturing]] wasps).
** This Troper cracked up at Chip referring to Muffy as "Cuddly Widdles" and "Wattling Kiddles".
* Barbie and Ken from ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3''. Buzz makes a "you have got to be kidding me" facial expression after overhearing a conversation between them.
* The pair of robbers (Amanda Plummer and Tim Roth) at the [[How We Got Here|end and beginning]] of ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' are this. They're even credited as "Pumpkin" and "Honey Bunny."
* Parodied in ''[[Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]]'' in the song [http://www.6lyrics.com/chu_chi_face-lyrics-chitty_chitty_bang_bang.aspx "Chu Chi Face."]{{Dead link}} (And you're my teddy bear. Together we're a Chu-Chi Woo-Chi, Ooo-Chi Coo-Chi Pair!) Of course, the entire time the king and queen are singing this to each other, he's trying to arrange an untimely death for her, resulting in her getting more and more nervous and uneasy as the song progresses.
== Literature ==
* There's a character (Manilov) in [[Gogol]]'s ''[[Dead Souls]]'' who shares with his wife a sickeningly sweet affection.
* Lavender and Ron in ''[[
** "...if Ron was going to begin calling her 'Lav-Lav', he [Harry] would have to put his foot down."
** Bill and Fleur fit this trope as well.
Line 119 ⟶ 117:
{{quote|'''Hyde:''' ''(on the phone with Jackie)'' Whatever. Whatever. Yeah, like I care. All right, I'll talk to you later, Jackie. ''(hangs up)''
'''Eric:''' Eww! Do you mind not getting all gooey and romantic when I'm about to eat my breakfast? }}
* ''[[Chuck]]'''s Alex and Morgan are one of the best example of this trope on television.
* Applies (at first glance) to any relationship on [[Pushing Daisies]], with the exception of those involving Emerson Cod.
* Kayley and Simon were starting to show signs of this before [[Firefly]] was [[Screwed by the Network|canceled.]]
Line 128 ⟶ 126:
== Music ==
* Mocked in the Irving Berlin song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-dkVdPr7AY Snooky Ookums]".
* The whole point of the song "Lucky" by Jason Mraz and [[Colbie Caillat]]. [
* Mocked in the song "Mon coeur mon amour" ("My heart my love") by French singer Anaïs.
* "Disgustingly In Love" by [[Mitch Benn]].
== Newspaper Comics ==

** Arguably, Elan and Haley from the same comic... when they're together.
* ''[[Xkcd]]'': [http://xkcd.com/515/ "No one must know."]
Line 195 ⟶ 197:
{{quote|'''Ronaldo:''' (while talking on the phone) "Oh, just a second, honey..." (yells at kissing couple beside him) "YOU KNOW THERE IS SUCH A THING AS TOO MUCH AFFECTION!" (goes back to his phonecall) "See you soonsies!"}}
** The couple in question were of course... Kick and Ronaldo's girlfriend (whom he was talking with on the phone), Kendall.
* Clover and Blaine have this type of relationship in the final season of ''[[Totally Spies!]]''.
* A variation of this occurs in ''[[Beast Wars]]'', where this is only on one side of the relationship, that of [[Knight in Shining Armor]] [[Idiot Hero]] Silverbolt, while the object of his affections, the [[Dark Action Girl]] [[Femme Fatale]] [[Kuudere]] Blackarachnia, despite returning his affections, is as annoyed by it the same as everyone else.
* Although not a ''complete'' example of this trope, there is one episode of [[My Life as a Teenage Robot]] in which Brad is about to be married to an alien who refers to him as "Bradley-Boo". [[Squick]].
Line 208 ⟶ 210:
** There's always at least one [[Showmance]] like this in a theatre production. To everyone involved, it's a distraction.
** What's really fun is when you're friends with a couple on [[Facebook]], and you're constantly seeing their wall-to-wall posts consisting of [[Tastes Like Diabetes|"I luv u huny bunz! ^_^" "I luv u2 sweetie :-3"]]
