* ''VideoGame/TwistedWonderland'': Sebek's maternal grandfather Baul is disdainful of his son-in-law because [[FantasticRacism he is]] [[PunyEarthlings a human]], but he's reasonably nice to his grandson.

* In ''VideoGame/TheBardsTale'', [[TheUnintelligible MacRath]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgRyzC67RDA&t=28s jokingly alludes to this trope]] in reference to the zombies that had taken over his castle, though the eponymous Bard himself fails to pick up on it due to the sheer [[FunetikAksent impenetrability of his accent]].
-->'''[=MacRath=]:''' Ah kent it was a bad sign when tha deid began tae rise frae their grae, especially mah mammy in law, it was toogh enaw killin' 'er tha first time![[note]]I knew it was a bad sign when the dead began to rise from their graves, especially my mother-in-law; it was tough enough killing her the first time![[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/BoongGaBoongGa'' has the mother-in-law as one of the people you can ''punish''. She even says stock stereotypical mother-in-law lines.



* One level in ''VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan2'' centers on a female pro wrestler who marries the heir to a traditional Japanese inn... only to find his mother does ''not'' approve. The level involves said wrestler proving she can be a good inn hostess in order to earn the old woman's approval.
* Gravedigger Shen in ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire'' has players deal with a few spirits who are out of their graves in the Necropolis. The first of them is apparently his mother-in-law, and he's especially happy that you put her down for the moment.



* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}''
** A nameless housewife apparently doesn't get along with her mother-in-law, who dislikes her cooking. To be fair to the older woman, her daughter-in-law [[LethalChef is a terrible cook]], although she does improve later in the game.
** Another woman, who's a bit older, recalls that her mother-in-law was an ill-tempered woman who warned her that if she didn't wear a wedding veil, she'd grow horns. The woman notes to her chagrin that she herself ended up turning out just like her mother-in-law.
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' has a fairly dark example in Lucille Waycrest's mother. Lady Waycrest doesn't like that her daughter's marrying a mere merchant, so she bitterly complains to her husband on Lucille's wedding day, refuses to attend the wedding, and hires some outlaws to kill her son-in-law.

Added DiffLines:

* One of the funniest examples is in ''VideoGame/DragonsLair II: Time Warp''. The ''entire'' first level has Dirk trying to escape Daphne's mother (who resembles [[BrawnHilda a retired opera star]]... boy, even her name is Hilda!). She starts chasing Dirk with a [[RollingPinOfDoom rolling pin]] after she finds out that he let Daphne get kidnapped again. If the player presses the wrong button, Dirk can actually get ''killed'' by her! Dirk runs away from her on a horse, but she starts following him on an ''ox'', trying to bash the living daylights out of him while telling him to go rescue Daphne.
-->'''Hilda:''' ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck DIIIRRRKK!!!]]''\\
'''Dirk:''' [[OhCrap Uh-oh]]...\\
'''Hilda:''' Kidnapped?... ''My'' Daphne, kidnapped again?!! Idiot! ''[[GratuitousGerman Dummkopf!]]'' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis You! Better! Find! My! Daughter! OR! ELSE!]] ''(throws a crate full of chickens at Dirk)'' COWARD!!! DIRK! I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE!! I raised a Princess who married a ''frog''!! Dirk! Hold still! You can run boy! But you cannot hide!
** The level ends with Dirk's mother-in-law hitting a giant snake (that, earlier on, was attacking Dirk), and telling it to "Shut up!" Just see it for yourself [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vQaztLFRSM here.]]
* One level in ''VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan2'' centers on a female pro wrestler who marries the heir to a traditional Japanese inn... only to find his mother does ''not'' approve. The level involves said wrestler proving she can be a good inn hostess in order to earn the old woman's approval.
* Gravedigger Shen in ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire'' has players deal with a few spirits who are out of their graves in the Necropolis. The first of them is apparently his mother-in-law, and he's especially happy that you put her down for the moment.
* In ''Videogame/EliteDangerous'', the passengers of Wedding Barges will sometimes say "At least I don't have to meet the in-laws" when their starship blows up.
* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}''
** A nameless housewife apparently doesn't get along with her mother-in-law, who dislikes her cooking. To be fair to the older woman, her daughter-in-law [[LethalChef is a terrible cook]], although she does improve later in the game.
** Another woman, who's a bit older, recalls that her mother-in-law was an ill-tempered woman who warned her that if she didn't wear a wedding veil, she'd grow horns. The woman notes to her chagrin that she herself ended up turning out just like her mother-in-law.

Lady Waycrest doesn't like that her daughter's marrying a mere merchant, so she bitterly complains to her husband on Lucille's wedding day, refuses to attend the wedding, and hires some outlaws to kill her son-in-law.
* One hilarious scene in ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear Xrd'' has straight-laced Ky realizing that, since he's married to Dizzy, and his brash, free-spirited [[TheRival rival]] Sol is Dizzy's father, that makes Sol his father-in-law. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx8cH95Wegw Cue the horrified screaming from both parties.]]
* In ''VideoGame/TheBardsTale'', [[TheUnintelligible MacRath]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgRyzC67RDA&t=28s jokingly alludes to this trope]] in reference to the zombies that had taken over his castle, though the eponymous Bard himself fails to pick up on it due to the sheer [[FunetikAksent impenetrability of his accent]].

* ''Franchise/MassEffect'': Though circumstances prevent you from experiencing it firsthand, Tali gleefully tells Shepard at one point that her deceased father would've ''hated'' him if you romance her. Her wording leaves it a bit unclear if this is because of Shepard [[MalignedMixedMarriage being human instead of a quarian]], overprotectiveness, or just plain disliking Shepard's personality.
* ''VideoGame/BoongGaBoongGa'' has the mother-in-law as one of the people you can ''punish''. She even says stock stereotypical mother-in-law lines.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', an NPC laments that the meteor that fell near Tycoon didn't land on his mother-in-law instead.
