Line 79:
* A [[Valentines Day Episode]] of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' had Apu doing a series of these for Manjula. Homer and the other husbands tried to sabotage them becauses they couldn't compete with him.
* In the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "Time Keeps on Slippin'," Fry and Leela get married after Fry does something incredibly romantic for her. The problem: Because of the random time slips plaguing the episode, neither of them remember what it is he did for her, and she demands a divorce. In the end, he rediscovers what he did: {{spoiler|Rearrange a bunch of '''stars''' to say "I love you, Leela". Unfortunately, [[The Greatest Story Never Told|the romantic gesture is blown up before she sees it again]].}}
* Tying in with the [[Cracked]] example above, ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' brought us the actions [[Mad Hatter|Jervis Tetch]] used to woo his Alice. Including, but not limited to - brainwashing a pair of thugs to go jump off a bridge (literally) to impress her with his bravery when they're about to get mugged; brainwashing the Maitre'd of a restaurant (as well as the ''rest'' of the staff) into getting them a seat and the romantic usuals (violin/flowers/etc.). After she reconciled with her boyfriend the same night, though, he uses brainwashing to break them up again, then does the "extravagant Flower surprise" in her house... which he didn't have a key for. Alice is, understandably, creeped the hell out - but mostly because Jervis had no way of knowing that the two had broken up.
