* The ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' episode "Help" details how Clay and Bloberta met and got married: as guests at a wedding who decided to go to the reception together because they didn't have anyone. Unusually for this trope, it shows just how two completely incompatible people end up in an AwfulWeddedLife: one fell quickly into alcoholism and wanted a wife to clean up his messes, the other was jealous of the other brides and wanted the spotlight for once. Notably, the FramingDevice for this episode is Orel asking Bloberta why she married Clay in the first place, and the answer she gives him is the same answer she gave when asked if she took Clay in marriage: [[spoiler:why not?]]
