Love You and Everybody: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

'''Fry''': ''Damn!''|''[[Futurama]]''}}

 

* In the movie ''[[Love Actually]]'', 10-year-old (roughly) Sam has a giant crush on a girl in his class, Joanna. However, he's convinced she doesn't know who he is. When he finds out she's going to sing in the Christmas concert, he learns to play the drums to be part of her band. She ends up singing an (awesome) cover of "All I Want for Christmas", and on the line "All I Want for Christmas is ''you''", she turns around (he's behind her) and points to him. Sam is elated, until she turns back to the audience and picks out random people, singing "And you, and you, and you, and you!" Sam is devastated. In reality, she was really pointing to him and the rest was just showmanship.

* Subverted in a way in the ''[[The Matrix|Matrix Reloaded]]'':

* One of the most memorable scenes in ''In America'' has the father show up at the door of his neighbor Mateo who's dying of AIDS after he's bonded with the family, and asks angrily if he's in love with his wife. His response is spoken in a bitter tone:

 

 

* Similar reasons kept Scott from acting on his attraction to Jenny in ''Teen Idol'', she's nice to everyone.

* ''[[Percy Jackson|The Last Olympian]]'': Percy tries to pull this off {{spoiler|when talking to Athena about Annabeth}}. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|She's not impressed]].

{{spoiler|'''Athena'''}}: {{spoiler|[[Genre Savvy|Spare me]].}} }}

* Slight twist on this trope in Francine Rivers' ''[[The Mark of the Lion Series|An Echo In the Darkness]]'': Alexander tries to convince {{spoiler|Hadassah}} to leave Rome with him, declaring passionate (genuine) love for her; she responds by admitting she loves him too, and then crushes him by listing all the things she loves about him—in a completely platonic manner.

'''Alexander''': I wasn't speaking of brotherly love. }}

 

* On ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' Barney intends to confess to Ted that he is in fact in love with Robin. Instead, he announces to Robin herself that he's "in love with... ''tacos''!"

* This happens in an episode of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'', while Rodney is on his (apparent) death bed.

'''McKay''': You're just saying that because I'm gonna die. }}

** Later it's played for laughs with Rodney trying to turn Weir's statement into something romantic and her quickly reminding him that she said "we."

* A variation occurs on ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'': Odo is talking to Kira about his name, which literally translates into "nothing", and how [[Meaningful Name|appropriate]] he used to find it. He thought "nothing" described him perfectly, "and then I met you...and the others."

* Used in ''[[Lost Girl]]'' during a scene between Bo and Lauren in second season finale.

** This is made all the more conspicuous by the fact that Bo and Lauren are ''alone'' during this conversation.

 

* ''[[Recess]]'': T.J. copes with his hatred of Valentine's Day by sending every girl in his garde a joke valentine, which they ''all'' turn out to like way more than he intended... until they learn he sent them to every other girl and promptly turn lynch mob.

* [[South Park]]: Butters is sent to Camp New Grace, which Butters is unaware is a church camp for "correcting" gay children. He has the following exchange with his roomie, who does know why he's there:

'''Butters:''' Sure, I like-like you a-lot-a-lot! }}
