Two-Timer Date: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

==Multiple romantic dates==

* Directly referenced in a ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' episode where Minako tries the same. Oddly enough, the two guys are both associated villains who brag to each other about their latest catch as if they were different people.

* An episode of ''[[Samurai Pizza Cats]]'', "Speedy's Double Time Trick", had Speedy try to go on a date with Lucille and Polly on the same day.

* In [[Carnival Phantasm]], Shirou and Shiki have to plan around three and five commitments, respectively. Shiki's plan ''starts'' with him being in two places in exactly the same time, and gets even crazier from there.

 

* Find a Digest of [[Archie Comics]]. I guarantee you there will be at least one example of this type of plot therein. It's pretty much impossible for a story to do this plot now without some sort of [[Lampshade Hanging]]. One comic had Dilton calculate that Archie's done this '''1,797 times''' before!

** Even ''Jughead'' has done this. Jughead, who typically refuses to go on even ''one'' date. Hey, it was [[Big Eater|an excuse to have two meals]].

* In [[The Simpsons (Comic Book)|The Simpsons]] comic, "Springfield's Typical Teen-ager", a teenage Homer accidentally plans a date with Mr. Burn's niece and Marge at the same time forcing him to drive back and fourth. Barney even compares Homer with [[Archie Comics|Archie Anderws.]]

 

* ''[[I Married An Earthling]]'' offers this plot as an example of a particularly bad episode of a putrid sitcom that main character Chester's younger brother is on.

{{quote|''"Horrors, Devon has two dates! He seeks advice from his pals Benny, [[Dumb Muscle|the dumb jock]], and Oscar, [[The Smart Guy|the smart nerd]]. [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarious hijinks]] too nauseating to mention [[Hilarity Ensues|ensue]]."''}}

* In ''[[Curse of the Wolfgirl]]'' Markus remembers a little too late that he is taking one of his girlfriends to an opera-party at which the other girlfriend is a senior member of the stage-design team. It was probably a relief when the werewolf hunters attacked.

 

* In the ''[[Cheers]]'' episode "Cliffie's Big Score", Cliff has a date with both Carla and Diane.

* ''[[Three's Company|Threes Company]]'' did this more than once, twice with Jack running back and forth between different dates in different apartments.

* One episode of ''[[Kenan and Kel]]'' had Kenan take ''three'' separate girls to three different movies in the same theater.

 

* In ''[[Custom Robo]]'' for the [[Game Cube]], you (a bounty hunter) are called to break up a fight between two would-be dates. When you get there, the girl they were dating explains that she had accidentally scheduled both dates at the same time, and she didn't cancel either date. Instead, she just let the two meet each other. She then ''leaves you to take care of her boyfriends.'' Ironically, the two later become best friends.

* 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.

* 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.

 

* In ''[[Blip]]'', we find out that being a cyborg with access to [[Me's a Crowd|robotic duplicates]] makes short work of scheduling multiple dates at the same time.

{{quote|'''Mary:''' After we're done, their memories will be downloaded into mine. I hope that I had a good time.}}

 

* Chuckie in ''[[All Grown Up!]]!'' attempts this with a [[Secret Identity]].

* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]!'', "Arnold's Valentine", has this forced upon Arnold, when his French penpal Cecile (actually Helga pretending to be Cecile) supposedly arrives for a surprise visit "coincidentally" at the same time as Arnold's previously planned date with Ruth McDougal. His solution is to take them to French restaurants across the street from each other and bounce between the two. {{spoiler|Arnold manages to pull it off well enough to fool Ruth, and when "Cecile" confronts him for his dishonesty, the ''real'' Cecile shows up for a ''real'' unannounced visit, making Helga-as-Cecile's accusations highly hypocritical at best and saving Arnold on that front as well.}}
