== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* There's a Type A example in the [[Boys Love]] manga ''[[Challengers (Manga)|Challengers]]''. The foreign transfer student Rick quickly becomes a nuisance after he starts following the main couple around in the hope of getting with [[Uke]] and [[Horrible Judge of Character]] Tomoe before Kurokawa, who has more morals when it comes to relationships, [[Relationship Upgrade|upgrades their relationship]] from [[Just Friends]] to [[Official Couple]]. Even after they become lovers he still hang round with them just in case.
 
 
== Film ==
* In [[The Adventures of Milo and Otis]], main characters Milo the cat and Otis the dog spend most of the film trying to reunite, but when Milo falls in love with another cat, Otis becomes this for a little while. Otis is mostly a case of type C.
* Both [[Sherlock Holmes (Filmfilm)|Sherlock Holmes]] films are ripe with this trope. [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on whether Holmes is a third wheel to Watson and Mary, or if Mary is a third wheel to Holmes and Watson; [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] or [[Ho Yay]], your choice.
 
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Timon and Pumbaa of [[The Lion King]] certainly become third wheels once Simba and Nala meet up again. It definitely is mostly type C, but Simba kind of politely lets Timon know that the two of them aren't wanted, making it somewhat type A.
* In "[[Dan Vs.]] The Fancy Restaurant" Dan accompanies Chris and Elise on their anniversary dinner.
