Line 137:
* Everyone in Paul Pfeiffer's family on ''[[The Wonder Years]]'' has black hair and glasses, kind of like Milhouse's family on ''[[The Simpsons]]''. Milhouse is also based on Paul in appearance and as the protagonist's best friend.
* It's possible that the only reason Jonathan Taylor Thomas was hired for ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'' is that he looks so similar to Tim Allen.
* In ''[[Murder, She Wrote]]'', Jessica had a British cousin named Emma who looked exactly like her, also played by Angela Lansbury. In the second episode where she appeared, Emma showed that being an [[Amateur Sleuth]] ran in the family.

* ''[[Pokémon]]'' franchise:
** {{spoiler|N and Ghetsis}} in ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]''
** The mother of the player character from the same game practically looks like an adult version of Hilda, the female protagonist.
** Pokemon in general invokes this with the parents. Ethan and Kris look like their Gen 2 mother, and Lyra looks like the remake redesign of her. Dawn looks like a younger version of her mom with longer hair, and Lucas looks like her but with a darker shade of hair. May looks like the Hoenn mother and Birch, and Brendan possibly looks like Norman.
* Bowser, the arch Nemesis of Mario from the [[Super Mario Brothers]], has got eight children.
** Rosalina actually resembles her dead mother as revealed in the subplot of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.
* Potentially subverted in ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'', where Fate and Maria look strikingly alike but the plot only tells us they went under similar 'treatment' as kids. Whether they were siblings seems to be a (deliberately?) hanging detail, although they do have an [[Multiple Endings|potential ending]] together.
Line 234 ⟶ 236:
*** [[Fridge Brilliance|"Hi Grandpa!" "I'm not grandpa!"]]
** Also, Dexter's rival Mandark has a little sister named Olga, or Lalavava as she calls herself, who is a pint-sized likeness of her brother, with pigtails.
* Billy from ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy
* In ''[[The Magic School Bus]]'', Arnold's cousin Janet basically looks like [[Distaff Counterpart|a female version of him]]. She has the same hair style, also wears glasses and sports a feminine version of his [[Limited Wardrobe|regular outfit]].
* Obligitory ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' example: [[The Woobie|Zuko]] would look EXACTLY like a younger version of [[Big Bad|his father]]... if it weren't for his [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|trademark scar]] {{spoiler|given to him by [[Abusive Parents|said father]]}}. [[Word of God]] is that Ozai was pretty much designed to look like an older Zuko, which explains why he's way prettier than a lot of people expected such a despicable [[Big Bad]] to look.
Line 266 ⟶ 268:
* The original ''[[My Little Pony]]'' "Baby" characters looked exactly like their mothers, except for less markings on their hide.
** Twilight in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' resembles her mom to a T.
* One strange example is [https://harleyquinn.fandom.com/wiki/Neytiri Neytiri] from ''[[Harley Quinn (TV series)|Harley Quinn]]''. A resident of an apocalyptic [[Bad Future]], she is stated to be [[Has Two Mommies|a daughter of both Harley and Poison Ivy]], and seeing as she bears resemblence to both, it would seem her conception was more than the result of a simple sperm donation. Of course, the series as a whole isn't the type you should take seriously.
* From ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', Squidward has a cousin named Squilliam (whom he hates) who looks exactly like Squidward, aside from his [[Big Ol' Unibrow]].
