Line 25:
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Mazinger Z (Anime)|Mazinger Z]]'': In episode 89 we meet {{spoiler|an impersonator of}} Kouji and Shiro's mother. In episode 92 we meet Kouji and Shiro's {{spoiler|supposedly}} late father {{spoiler|that would be one of the ''[[Great Mazinger (Anime)|Great Mazinger]]'' main characters}}. His wife was definitely beautiful. He... not so much. Although maybe he was more handsome when he was younger {{spoiler|and not a cyborg.}}
* In ''[[Itazura Na Kiss]]'', Chris, a beautiful English lady of noble blood, marries Kinnosuke, a not-so pretty Osakan chef. Most people wonder how a guy like Kinnosuke could have gotten a girl like Chris. The fact is that both she and her sexy American mother, Maria,
* In the manga of ''[[Air Gear (Manga)|Air Gear]]'', the incredibly ugly Onigiri proves a huge hit with the ladies in an air trek aerobics program, and has an incredibly attractive and borderline obsessive girlfriend. Then she dumped him... for the gigantically fat Buccha. And then she dumped ''him'' for a guy who was somehow even ''fatter''. Little parts of Onigiri and Buccha died after the experiences.
** This example illustrates yet another potential problem with this setup. If you're a big fat guy who manages to land a hot girl with a fat fetish, you're in serious trouble when somebody bigger comes along.
Line 309:
* Adell's parents in ''[[Disgaea]] 2: Cursed Memories.'' Even with the extra eye and tail, Mom is [[Hot Shounen Mom|hot enough]] to attract the attention of ''far'' younger men. Dad, on the other hand, is a [[Zombie Apocalypse|zombie]] "but without the stench."
* [http://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/MetalSlug-MissingInAction/ms-missing_concepts_in_action/characters/048.gif Sergeant Allen O'Neil's wife] in [[Metal Slug]]. However considering Allen is an [[Implacable Man|unkillable]], [[Testosterone Poisoning|manly]], [[Badass]], with an incredible physique, its [[Justified Trope]].
* The Kramers from ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]].'' Cid is a
** Except Cid isn't rich. All of the money he got to establish Garden was from the big ugly what-his-name, and that was after her change.
* A rather tragic version: Vega's parents, according to his backstory in ''[[Street Fighter]] II''. {{spoiler|A teenage Vega saw his [[Gonk|very ugly father]] go [[Yandere]] and murder [[Hot Mom|his beautiful mother]] under the belief that [[Your Cheating Heart|she was cheating on him.]] Vega went [[Ax Crazy]] and became a [[Self Made Orphan]] by killing his dad to avenge his mom, this being his [[Start of Darkness]]}}.
Line 348:
** [[Word of God]] is that Peter and Lois share a similar sense of humor. This seems evident a number of times when Peter makes a [[Double Entendre]] (or single entendre), and Lois snickers at it.
** It may also have something to do with Lois' apparent masochist tendencies.
** [[Fridge Brilliance|If you think about it]], the series also [[Inverted Trope|inverts it somewhat]] (and replaces "wife" with "girlfriend"). Within the FG universe, Meg has been described as either plain or (post-[[Flanderization]])[[Hollywood Homely|outright ugly]]. And yet over the years she's had [http://familyguy.wikia.com/wiki/Kevin_Swanson several] [http://familyguy.wikia.com/wiki/Jeff_Campbell decent] [http://familyguy.wikia.com/wiki/Michael_Milano looking]
* ''[[The Honeymooners]]'' animated counterparts, Fred and Wilma Flintstone of ''[[The Flintstones]]''.
** Speaking of which, Betty and Wilma expected this trope to hold true of their new neighbors, the Gruesomes, after meeting Mr. Gruesome. It didn't.
