Sickeningly Sweethearts: Difference between revisions

* From ''[[Vampire Knight]]'', we have {{spoiler|Yuuki's parents, Haruka and Juuri}}.

* Subverted in ''[[Durarara]]'': Seiji Yagiri and his girlfriend {{spoiler|Mika Harima}} ''look'' to everyone like [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]] that spend all their free time whispering sweet nothings into each other's ear... and then you actually ''hear'' what those sweet nothings are and realize that they're probably [[Mind Game Ship|the most dysfunctional couple ever.]]

** Just to make it clear, they're both utterly bug-duck crazy: {{spoiler|Mika was Seji's stalker until he took a baseball bat to her skull for finding a decapitated head when she broke into his apartment. She got plastic surgery to look like Seiji's true love, making Seiji think Mika was said true love, and they got together. Then the truth came out, but the pair are so crazy they stick together anyway. Oh, and Seiji's true love was said previously mentioned decapitated head, which his incestuous big sister got rid of because she wanted one less rival for her brother's affections (but that's another story)... Did we mention they were crazy yet?}}

* Michi and Yoshirin, the young couple from ''[[Crayon Shin-chan]]'', are a clear parody of this trope. Apart from occasional (and pretty dumb) break-ups, all they do on the series is be lovey-dovey with each other. At least on the original and Spanish dubs.

* Himeno's father Kaoru and her (very wealthy) stepmother Natsue from ''[[Prétear]]'', to the embarassment of their daughters.

* Yukio Ayashiro and his wife Noriko in a two-part episode of ''[[Detective Conan]]''. It's a little more justified as they had ''just'' gotten married, tho. Their old friend and the local [[Private Defective]] Kogoro openly lampshades the trope:

* [[Say My Name|Tamahome! Miaka! Tamahome! Miaka!]] in ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]''.

* ''[[Shaman King]]'' has Faust and Eliza. When they're first introduced, it seems more like [[Love Makes You Evil]] or [[Mummies At the Dinner Table]], but when Anna reunites them with her Itako powers, they definitely fit this trope. They even flirt during a major fight, and he carries her around [[Bridal Carry|Bridal Style]] while crossing a river.

* In the "Howling Wind" episode of [[Cirque Du Soleil]]'s [[Widget Series]] ''Solstrom'', a newlywed couple is soooooooooooo in love with each other that neither notices that the honeymoon hotel they've just checked into has been magically transformed into a Gothic [[Hell Hotel]]. {{spoiler|In the end they become happily-in-love vampires.}}

* [[Butt Monkey|Sweets]] and [[Genki Girl|Daisy]] from ''[[Bones]]''. She calls him "Lancelot" (his first name is at least Lance, so it's an understandable nickname). {{spoiler|They're going to get married. Maybe that'll calm them down. [[Happily Married|I doubt it, somehow.]]}} It still makes you smile, even as you're trying not to vomit, because they're so ''matchingly'' dysfunctional.

'''[[Only Sane Man|Cam]]:''' Oh, dear God. I'm going to yak. }}

* A couple in an early episode of ''[[7th Heaven]]'' was this trope personified until the husband confessed to his wife that he'd never properly divorced his first wife. Much angst and screaming ensued and it was up to Eric to save the day.

** In another episode, Robert and Amy are acting like this shortly after getting married, which Ray and Debra don't mind too much — until Robert and Amy start giving Ray and Debra marriage advice. Ray and Debra, who have been comfortably married for over a decade, don't appreciate getting advice from newlyweds (or in Ray's words, from "the guy who married a stripper, then divorced a stripper, then married a regular person, then hung in there for three whole months"), or Robert and Amy's insistence that their marriage is "unhappy" because they don't behave like this trope anymore.

* On ''[[That 70s Show]]'' the relationship between Jackie and Hyde makes Eric feel uncomfortable at first, despite being nothing like this:

'''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.

* A mod to ''[[Baldur's Gate]] 2: Throne of Bhaal'' adds a character who seeks out romance with Imoen. In one memorable exchange, they use so many consecutive pet names for each other that even the good-aligned party members find themselves tempted to agree with Sarevok's comment: "Say the word, and I will kill them both. ''Please.''"

** If like me you were ready to hunt across the Internet after reading that, it's [http://www.pocketplane.net/kelsey kelsey].

** Because [[Girls Are Really Scared of Horror Movies]] (and by extension, scary places).

* [[Happily Married]] couple Maeda Toshiie and his wife Matsu from ''[[Sengoku Basara]]''. On one occasion Toshi came to Matsu's rescue on the battlefield, and they shared a tender moment together, leaving their opponent Yukimura at a complete loss of what to do.

* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', [[Idiot Hero|Lloyd]] [[Determinator|Irving]] and [[Love Freak|Colette]] [[Naive Everygirl|Brunel]]. [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World|The sequel]] has [[Apologises a Lot|Emil]] [[The Woobie|Castagnier]] and [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Marta]] [[Tsundere|Lualdi]].

** In ''[[Tales of Hearts]]'', Shing and Kohak. Other party members occasionally complain about it. At one point Hisui and Beryl actually raise their [[Relationship Values]] through their mutual annoyance at the main couple's sheer couple-ness.

** They do the same for a romance with [[The Chick|Leliana]].

** If you help two Dalish elves get together, they begin acting like this, while [[Deadpan Snarker|Morrigan]] [[Memetic Mutation|disapproves]].

* ''[[Harvest Moon]]'' couples have a tendency to be [[Happily Married]], but the award for soppiest couple in the series probably goes to... Jake and Colleen, Maya's parents in ''Tree of Tranquility'' and ''Animal Parade.'' Jake compares ''everything'' to his beloved Colleen and absolutely lives to spoil her, at one point even {{spoiler|using the Wizard's crystal ball to read her mind to find out exactly what she wants}}. They're also constantly holding hands and cuddling. This probably explains why Maya is [[The Cutie]]--spending all her life around that kind of sappiness, what else would she be?

* In [[Super Robot Wars Judgment]] [[Blue Comet SPT Layzner|David]] will remark he considers [[Martian Sucessor Nadesico|Minato and Tsukomi's reactions to each other]], albeit while they are kinda heartwarming, they still [[Tastes Like Diabetes|trigger his gag reflex.]]

* A featured couple in ''[[Futurama]]'' who ran the candy company Romanticorp inspired the page quote from Leela, with a little assistance from [[The Professor]] and his cattle prod.

** And from ''I Dated a Robot'':

'''Professor Farnsworth:''' Oh dear! She's stuck in an infinite loop, and he's an idiot! Well, that's love for you. }}

** Also the [[Alternate Universe]] versions of Fry and Leela.

* Geoff and Bridgette in ''[[Total Drama Island|Total Drama Action]]'', becoming so annoying that they're {{spoiler|the first ones voted off.}}

** In the special:

'''Both''': Ew! }}

** [[Heterosexual Life Partner|Katie and Sadie]] have this as part of their extreme [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]].

* Subverted on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''. Lucius tries acting this way whenever he's around Jez. However, [[Gold Digger|she seems largely uninterested in returning his affection]].

* A both odd and hypocritical version of this appared on ''[[Kick Buttowski]]'' with Ronaldo witnessing a kissing "couple".

** 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]]''.

* Big Macintosh and Cheerilee act like this in the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Hearts and Hooves Day", thanks to a love potion provided by the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They spend nearly half the episode staring into each other's eyes and calling each other cutesy pet names.

** The "sickening" part is quite literal, they visibly sicken the Crusaders repeatedly with their cutesy pet names.
