Two-Timer Date: Difference between revisions

* One sidequest in the [[Updated Rerelease|Nintendo DS remake]] of ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' has the party briefly helping <s>Namingway</s> Cheatingway employ this trope by distracting one of his dates with small talk while he dates the other.

* One [[Scrappy Level|chain of missions]] in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2]]'' has you provide clan members to date up to ''four'' people for a chronically overscheduled petitioner. Amazingly, the lucky ladies care more about the level and MVP trophies of their dates than they do about things like species and gender.

* Implied in one of Paz's diary tapes in ''[[Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker]]''. Basically, Kazuhira Miller went on a date with two female members of the Militaires Sans Frontieres at the exact same time, and it is implied that Miller has done this before. When the girls report it to Big Boss, he proceeds to go and beat up Kaz in the showers.

 

* ''[[Friends]]'' does this in its "The One With The Two Parties" episode, where Rachel's recently-separated parents both show up for her surprise party, necessitating the creation of two simultaneously-held (and attended) parties happening across the hall from one another.

* In one episode of ''[[Frasier]]'', he juggled romantic and nonromantic commitments. He was trying to make a date with a woman but kept standing her up due to accidents or [[Contrived Coincidence]]s. He scheduled the third attempt for his birthday. His friends threw him a surprise party. He finally snuck out of his own party too late for the date but managed to catch the woman in time to show her his date of birth on his driver's license and prove he was really willing to spend his birthday with her. (This immediately turned out to be a horrible idea, of course.)

* On ''[[That's My Bush!]]'''s first episode, Laura demands a date night with George at the same time he has to have a meeting with the leaders of the pro-life and pro-choice campaigns. The maid even [[Lampshade]]s that this won't work, as apparently other presidents have tried it.

* In an episode of ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'', a family get-together on Halloween conflicts with a party Sabrina wants to make an appearance at. Being a witch, she [[Me's a Crowd|creates a duplicate]] that can only say three phrases and sends her to the mortal party (Salem points out her aunts would be more likely to catch on than her [[Muggle]] schoolmates.) Sure enough, her aunt Hilda tries to send a duplicate to the witch party which Zelda unmasks almost instantly ("Hilda, what color is my dress?" "Pass the potatoes!")

* ''[[All Grown Up!]]!'', "Runaround Susie": Susie doesn't participate in a singing audition because she's at a linguistics contest instead.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'', "The Bart Wants What It Wants": Bart avoids a school dance that Greta invited him to in favor of watching Principal Skinner perform at a comedy club.

* ''[[Ned's Newt]]'' once [[Exaggerated Trope|exaggerated]] this by having Newton set up Ned for a date with every girl in school (at the same time, of course).

* In an episode of ''[[The Mask (animation)|The Mask]]'', Stanley is [[Chained Heat|handcuffed]] to Lt. Kellaway, who's trying to prove he's the Mask. Meanwhile, the villains Putty Thing and Fishguy are attacking. So, Stanley has to find ways to put the mask and becoming the hero without the cop noticing.
