History Main / ParentalIncest

* In ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'', The Truth takes umbrage at being called "motherfucker" by a gangbanger.
-->"Firstly, you are a real buzzkiller, amigo. And secondly, I never made love to my mother -- [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne She wouldn't]]. And thirdly..."
* In ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', Trevor also reacts harshly to being called a "motherfucker" and starts rampages because of this. However, some of his missions imply it's true.
-->"It's not legally fucking if you do not penetrate!"

Also see SurpriseIncest, where the couple involved do not know they're related, as well as BrotherSisterIncest, CreepyUncle, and KissingCousins. When children innocently suggest this, it's FatherIWantToMarryMyBrother. See PervertDad for parents who don't ''quite'' go this far, but still have an (un)healthy dose of weirdness, and LecherousStepparent. See ILoveYouVampireSon, when the "parent" is the vampire that sired his "son".

* In Arthur Miller's play ''A View from the Bridge'' the main character is in love with his niece, whom he raises as a daughter, but he can't even admit this to himself.

* In ''ComicBook/FallenAngel'', it is widely believed, but not confirmed (although he has not denied it, either), that Xia has this relationship with her son, Jubal.

** ''[[WebOriginal/SuzysStrangeSaga Repression]]'': The main character ends up sleeping with his mother in certain paths.
** ''WebOriginal/{{Suzys Strange Saga}}'': Suzy [[spoiler: sleeps with her son Anu in one epilogue]].
** ''[[WebOriginal/SuzysStrangeSaga Tales From The Basement]]'': In one ending, the E-Bay escapist [[spoiler: repopulates the earth with mutant children together with his mother after the nuclear apocalypse.]]

** ''WebOriginal/{{Eternal}}'': [[spoiler: Semra]] had a child with her father. Apparently this is not abnormal in svelk culture.

* In ''VisualNovel/MysticMessenger,'' a nightmare Jumin has [[IncestSubtext heavily implies]] that when he was growing up, one of his stepmothers tried to sexually groom him.

* In ''VisualNovel/MysticMessenger,'' a flashback of Jumin's backstory [[IncestSubtext heavily implies]] that when he was growing up, one of his stepmothers tried to sexually groom him.

* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'': in the very first appearances (only two or three strips) of Marten's mom, her face is drawn EXACTLY like Faye's - and [[spoiler:Marten at the time has a crush on Faye]]. Her look changes quickly until she looks almost identical to Dora - [[spoiler:who Marten will become involved with shortly afterword. Dora also used to masturbate to Marten's mom's image, the disgusting nature of which is brought up by a horrified Marten.]]

* The infamous ''[[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avengers]]'' #200 contained something of this. ComicBook/CarolDanvers was kidnapped, mind controlled, and impregnated by Marcus Immortus, the son of Immortus. Carol ends up having a MysticalPregnancy with no memory of the incident. The baby grew into an adult in under a day and turned out to be another version of Marcus, reborn on Earth. Carol hated the baby, but when she saw Marcus as an adult, she fell for him. Eventually they left together to go to another dimension, and the crazy part was, the other Avengers seemed perfectly okay with it. Despite Marcus handwaving it as not ''really'' being pregnancy and just something that "resembled pregnancy", he still refers to Carol as "Mother" and she did give birth to him. ''Avengers Annual'' #10 brought Carol back, made it clear she was raped, and let her give a WhatTheHellHero speech to the others (and by proxy, to the writers of the original story who thought this was acceptable).
* The eleventh issue of ''ComicBook/SpiderGirl'' had a time-displaced Spider-Girl encounter her father during his earlier days as Spider-Man. Much to her disgust, Spider-Man at one point hits on Spider-Girl, not knowing that she is his future daughter.

** Myrrha tricked her father Cinyras into incest, after Aphrodite inspired her with passion for him, and got pregnant. Cyniras, horrified and angry, killed Myrrha with an axe. Her corpse turned into a myrrh tree and, ironically, produced [[ChickMagnet Adonis]].

** Thyestes was told by an oracle that he could only avenge the murder of his three sons on his brother Atreus if he had a son by his own daughter. So he raped his daughter Pelopia (in some versions, though, he just raped a woman not knowing who she was), fathering [[BastardBastard Aigisthos]], who, after being abandoned and [[RaisedByWolves nursed by a goat]], was adopted by Atreus and raised as his own son. Later, after Thyestes was captured by Atreus' sons Agamemnon and Menelaos, Atreus sends Aigisthos to the dungeon... but Thyestes reveals the truth to Aigisthos and Pelopia. Poor Pelopia kills herself with shame, while Aigisthos kills Atreus.
** An aversion with one of Heracles' descendants, who was wed to a king's widow when a snake jumped up between them just as they were about to consummate the marriage. The snake had been sent by Heracles to prevent the man from bedding his long-lost mother.

* Literature/TheTalmud (Sanhedrin 103b), expanding on the evil deeds of the biblical king Amon of Judah, claims that he raped his mother, though not for quite the reason one might expect. Afterward, when she asked him bitterly, "Did you derive any pleasure, then, from the place whence you issued?" he allegedly responded "Did I do this for any other purpose than to [[RageAgainstTheHeavens provoke]] my [[NayTheist creator]]?"

* There are no actual cases on incest in Eugene O'Neil's ''Theatre/MourningBecomesElectra'' [[MeaningfulName (note the name)]] but the female lead character ''and'' the male (who are siblings) have serious cases of Elektra and Oedipus complexes, respectively, leading to the murders of ''both'' their parents.
* In ''Theatre/SpringAwakening'' one of the boys is said to have had a wet dream about his mother, and also [[spoiler:the characters of Martha and Ilse are/were both sexually abused by their fathers.]]

-->"Firstly, you are a real buzz killer, amigo. And secondly, I never made love to my mother -- [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne She wouldn't]]. And thirdly..."

* The miniseries''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}: Father'' retconned that the old man that Matt saved (in the accident that blinded him and gave him his radar sense) was molesting his own daughter, leading the daughter, Maggie Farrell, to kill several of the people Matt's helped over the years to get back at the continued abused she suffered because Matt didn't know he was saving a monster.

** The show plays up this vibe deliberately with Chris, who has a pretty obvious attraction to his mother Lois. She seems more or less oblivious to it, and it's always PlayedForLaughs as a RunningGag, but a brief scene in the extra material of ''Recap/StewieGriffinTheUntoldStory'''s DVD shows just what it would look like if the writers ever decided to do something serious with it.

** From ''Recap/StewieGriffinTheUntoldStory'': "Now that we've practiced kissing and cuddling, we'll practice eating out... at a fancy restaurant!"

[[folder:Fan Works]]

* In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' the Dark Elf Witch King Malekith and his mother Morathi were implied to be lovers in an early edition. Given that Morathi is a devoted follower of [[TheHedonist Slaanesh]] and will screw AnythingThatMoves, this is likely true. Given that Malekith is a 4th degree burn victim permanently encased in full body armor, not so much. That being said, incest (no matter the exact kind) isn't unheard of in Druchi society.

* Justified in "Body Shifter Universe" due to BizarreAlienReproduction. Shifters reproduce by mitosis, the shifter parent is replaced by two children. The offspring shifters have no problem with mating with their other parent.

Moral incest within mythology goes here. For incest between the gods, see DivineIncest.

** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'', the MadScientist Divayth Fyr created four [[OppositeSexClone Opposite Sex Clones]] who he variously refers to as either his "[[ScrewYourself wives]]" or "daughters".

** [[LovableSexManiac Glenn Quagmire]], on the other hand, goes beyond subtext several times. "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E26Petergeist Petergeist]]" has the Griffins interrupt his "family game night",[[note]]should be read as Family-Game Night, rather than Family Game-Night[[/note]] while "[[Recap/FamilyGuy4E7BrianTheBachelor Brian the Bachelor]]" shows him setting up a threesome between the lovely girl-de-jour ''and his mother''. One CutawayGag makes a gag about how he, ''as a baby'', somehow got off on breast feeding, which explains a lot about [[ReallyGetsAround his character]]. There's also the time he gets an erection while hugging his transgender mother. A later episode has Quagmire having sex with said transgender mother due to meeting a woman even kinkier than he is. Finally, after giving his daughter up for adoption, Quagmire suggests that maybe he'll see her again when she's 18.

** In the episode "Pulling Double Booty", Hayley dates her father's identical body double. Her mother Francine is understandably uncomfortable with it, making her feel sick [[{{Squick}} emotionally]] and [[VomitIndiscretionShot physically]]. Stan and Francine get rid of the body double after he makes a move on Francine. But to make sure that Hayley doesn't lose it, Stan pretends to be his own double on the camping trip Hayley and body double planned together. Unfortunately for Stan, Hayley decides that they are finally going to have sex, and Stan has to fend off increasingly explicit advances Hayley makes towards him while being disturbed that she would do such things. [[spoiler:Including a threesome with a waitress.]]
--->'''Stan:''' ''(crying)'' You used to watch ''Series/SesameStreet''.
** The episode "Oedipal Panties" focused on Stan's relationship with his mother.

** Steve in "Rubberneckers" literally sings twice about how he would have sex with Francine if she wasn't his own mother.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' In episode when Jake return to the parents' past, his grandpa paired Jake and his mother together, to their horror. He didn't know the future though, and later when he said they were on a date... they didn't agree.

* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'': Princess Clara's father loves watching strippers... even if they're his own daughter. He especially loves watching his daughter make out with her attractive black roommate, Foxxy Love. And Clara, [[VirginityMakesYouStupid naïve person that she is]], equates his leering with paternal love.
--> "You smell like your mother..." ''Said while making out with her.''
** In "Little Orphan Hero" the episode ends with Captain Hero date raping his parents [[InsaneTrollLogic to erase their memories]].

** The show plays up this vibe deliberately with Chris, who has a pretty obvious attraction to his mother Lois. She seems more or less oblivious to it, and it's always PlayedForLaughs as a RunningGag, but a brief scene in the extra material of TheMovie's DVD showed just what it would look like if the writers ever decided to do something serious with it.
** In "Airport '07", when Peter wants to be a redneck, he tries to hit on Meg, using the YawnAndReach. She runs away screaming.
** In "Dial Meg For Murder", Meg [[TookALevelInBadass takes a level in badass]] after spending some time in prison. In one scene, she goes into a shower stall with her father Peter still in there, and does terrible things to him with a loofah. We don't see what happens, [[PrisonRape but considering what goes on in prison...]]

** From TheMovie: "Now that we've practiced kissing and cuddling, we'll practice eating out... at a fancy restaurant!"
** Peter develops an attraction towards Meg in the episode "Go Stewie Go!"
** However, whenever ''Meg'' makes any advances towards Lois, even if Chris did so first with no repercussions or if it was only a joke (as both of this scenarios did happen), she is immediately reviled and forced from the house/room.
** There's also "Peter's Progress," which has Peter's past life involved with ''at least'' a woman identical to (and named) Meg, but is most likely actually Meg's past life. Lois' past life, on the other hand, marries Stewie's past life when she's misled to think Peter is dead.
** [[LovableSexManiac Glenn Quagmire]], on the other hand, goes beyond subtext several times. ''Petergeist'' has the Griffins interrupt his "family game night"[[note]] should be read as Family-Game Night, rather than Family Game-Night[[/note]] while ''Brian The Bachelor'' shows him setting up a threesome between the lovely girl-de-jour ''and his mother''. One of their infamous cutaways makes a gag about how he, ''as a baby'', somehow got off on breast feeding. [[FreudianExcuse ...this explains a LOT about]] [[ReallyGetsAround his character]].
** There was also the time he got an erection while hugging his transgender mother. A later episode has Quagmire having sex with his transgender mother due to meeting a woman even kinkier than he is.
** After giving his daughter up for adoption, Quagmire suggested that maybe he'll see her again when she's 18.
** "Fresh Heir" from Season 12 is essentially a half hour of incest jokes. The main plot of Peter wanting to marry Chris is played as him wanting Chris' inheritance from Carter than anything sexual, but there are plenty of gags of Peter eying younger male teens or even prepubescent ''boys'' implying he certainly wouldn't hesitate if that's what it would take.
** Chris teaches Carter about masturbation by giving him a handjob, though the act was done off-screen and there's no indication this wasn't anything but a (not-well-thought-out) desire from Chris to show his grandfather a handy trick to "relax" (something that could have been taught through letting Carter use his own hand). In fact, Chris and Carter have enough (non-sexual) fun time together that it's what prompts Carter to write Chris into the will.

** In [[Recap/FamilyGuyS21E4TheMunchurianCandidate "The Munchurian Candidate"]], Peter performs oral sex on Babs, his mother-in-law, in a hypnotic trance thanks to his trigger phrase (the ''Extra'' jingle) going off at the worst possible time. When he and Lois find out what happened, they're both too horrified to talk about it until they get back home.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Fry became his [[MyOwnGrampa own grandfather]] by having sex with his grandmother. "I did do the nasty in the pasty." And that past nastification actually makes him the only person capable of saving the entire universe.
* In ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'', Phil constantly hits on Birdgirl, [[SurpriseIncest not knowing that Birdgirl is his own daughter Judy.]] Judy ''does'' know, but, being a constant slave to the Superhero Sidekick Code of Conduct, is willing to go as far as to marry her own father to keep him from finding out her secret identity. Luckily, he leaves her at the altar for [[OppositeSexClone Aunt]] [[BrotherSisterIncest Phyllis]]. [[spoiler:He figures it out in the final episode, and promptly accuses her of deliberately hitting on him.]]

* PlayedWith in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime,'' when the Ice King, who [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity cannot remember his own past]], once tries to kiss [[VampireMonarch Marceline]], whom he was once a ParentalSubstitute for. She's understandably disgusted.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'', Mr. Cat mentions having developed an Oedipus complex at some point in time.
* ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'':
** Very strongly implied that Sarah Lynn was molested by her bear stepfather (as evidenced by: her telling Joelle that her stepfather [[ThatSoundsFamiliar is a photographer]] in a flashback; she abandons her own dressing room because he's in it “being weird”; being able to distinguish [[ItMakesSenseInContext the taste of bear fur]] from any other fur; the bear's design meant to directly resemble [[PlayedStraight Terry Richardson]]). It's usually used as GallowsHumor, although there's a moment in one episode that briefly features him and she seems to go from ecstatic to dejected.
** Although consensual and both being of age, as well as not actually being related in any way ([[CastIncest BoJack played her adopted father in a 90's sitcom]]) she had sex with [=BoJack=], someone she'd previously seen as a ParentalSubstitute, while high and/or drunk. [=BoJack=] jokingly acknowledges the level of disgust, saying he would be flamed if it got out... [[spoiler:which does actually happen much later.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': the episode "Final Desmithation" is about Rick and Jerry infiltrating a fortune cookie factory to prevent Jerry's MisfortuneCookie-which predicts that he will have sex with his mother-from coming true, as testing showed the chances of it happening were ''inevitable''. [[spoiler: The man writing the fortunes were sending many outlandish fortunes out like this one in hopes that someone would investigate the factory and expose the monster whose poop is used to make the cookies, and how all the fortunes given were coming true. Given that Rick and Jerry were the first ones to investigate, it's implied all the others that got the 'you will have sex with your mother' fortune ''did'' have sex with their mother. As for Jerry, it was a really close call, thanks to fate literally conspiring to force him to bang his mom, but Rick writing a last minute fortune-literally 'Jerry No Sex Mom'-and forcing the cookie down his throat, prevented it from happening.]]

* This was part of the original conception of ''VideoGame/SummertimeSaga'', until Patreon objected to the direction the dating sim was taking; the Main Character is now renting a room in a house owned by a woman who is totally unrelated to him although she does look like she could be related when viewed from some angles, and is clearly old enough to be his mother. Amazing coincidence, what are the odds, eh?

* "The End" by Music/TheDoors from their debut album ''[[Music/TheDoorsAlbum The Doors]]'' has the protagonist tell his mother he wants to rape her, but it is almost incomprehensible on the studio recording.
