Love Dodecahedron: Difference between revisions

** And then you have to Boss was chasing after Sayaka in the original series and after Jun hono in ''[[Great Mazinger]]''. He was a [[Hopeless Suitor]] in both cases, but some fans think he COULD have gotten one chance with Sayaka.

** And in ''[[CB Chara Go Nagai World]]'' ''Dr. Hell'' was involved in one with [[Devilman|Akira, Miki, Siren, Kaim and Ryo]]

** [[Kid Samurai|Tatewaki]] and [[The Ojou|Kodachi]] [[Lord Error-Prone|Kuno]] are unaware that Ranma Saotome is a [[Gender Bender]] and so they both [[Stalker with a Crush|creepily pursue the opposite gender form]] and [[Murder the Hypotenuse|try to chase off the same gender form]], unware of the fundamental flaws in this approach. Not least of which is Ranma is creeped out by both of them and totally straight, despite [[Real Men Wear Pink|enjoying]] how he [[The Tease|can trick guys better by taking girl form]]. Tatewaki [[Handsome Lech|also]] pursues Akane Tendo, who retaliates violently.

** Ryoga Hibiki has a massive crush on Akane Tendo, but she seems [[Oblivious to Love|totally unaware of his feelings]], partially because [[Cannot Spit It Out|he's too shy to tell her how he feels]] and partially because the few times he has managed to get into romantic situations with her, he's scared her to death by [[Does Not Know His Own Strength|unthinkingly destroying everything around him]]. This is only encouraged by the fact she is apparently a [[Master of Delusion]] regarding the fact that [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|her pet pig P-chan]] is Ryoga's Jusenkyo curse form. He finally falls in mutual love with a sumo pig-obsessed [[Nice Girl]] named Akari Unryuu, who is sometimes derided as a [[Relationship Sue]] (mainly because [[Word of God|the author admitted outright]] that she was made to give Ryoga a happy ending).

* ''[[Community]]'' descends into this group rapidly.

** The bare-bone relationships in the first season: Jeff wants to sleep with Britta so he starts a study group to get close to her. Britta thinks he is manipulative and wants to be just friends with Jeff so instead dates Vaughn for a short while. Annie has had a crush on Troy since highschool. Troy not knowing this starts to date Randy (Randy can be a girl's name!). Realizing Troy won't recipricate her feelings, Annie dates Vaughn. Jeff and Britta unsuccessfully try to sabotage Annie's relationship with Vaughn by getting Troy interested in Annie. Jeff starts a comitted relationship with Prof. Slater, his statistic professor. Jeff and Annie share a kiss while participating in debate. Britta drunk dials Jeff. Jeff drunk dials both Britta and Slater. During the last dance of the year Annie breaks up with Vaughn when he moves to a new college. At the same dance Britta and Slater make public professions of love towards Jeff. Jeff runs away from both and moments later makesout with Annie.

* [[Degrassi the Next Generation]] has so many examples of this, that listing them here would take up the whole page. There was even a commercial on The N (now known as [[Teen Nick]]) which parodied this. Spinner walked into a [[South of Nowhere]] love triangles therapy session, only to be told to go next door. He then walked into a room for love hexagons therapy and sees the entire cast of Degrassi fighting about who's supposed to be involved with who that week.

* The [[Too Good to Last]] ABC show [[Pushing Daisies]] has Olive who's in love with Ned, to the point where she's completely oblivious to the affections of Alfredo, It's only ''after'' he gets [[Put on a Bus]] and leaves (at least partially due to said obliviousness from Olive) that she realizes she might have actually had feelings for him. Olive later begins dating [[Punny Name|Randy Mann]], although her feelings for Ned are still somewhat prevalant. This is shown to make Ned at least a ''little'' jealous even though ''he's'' deeply in love with [[Tomboyish Name|Chuck]], who, in turn, loves him back. That would all be fine and good except, due to Ned being [[Blessed with Suck]] (Or [[Cursed with Awesome]], depending on your interpretation of his abilities) they can't touch. Ever. Then there's Chuck's Aunts, One of whom, Lily, is actually {{spoiler|Chuck's mother}} because {{spoiler|she slept with her sister, Vivian's, fiance and Chuck's dad Charles Charles.}} It should also be noted that {{spoiler|she tries to ''kill''}} Vivian's new beau Dwight Dixon. Although that's mostly becuase {{spoiler|he turns out to be a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]] who's only using Vivian to get to Her supposed-to-be dead neice, Chuck's, pocket watch, which he later tries to get anyway by ''robbing her grave''}}.
