7	The rarer and possibly {{Squick}}ier flipside to CastIncest, where people who are {{Real Life Relative}}s have to play romantic partners. This scenario is more common in community and HighSchool theater productions where there is a limited pool of actors to choose from. While [[ExecutiveMeddling producers may be manipulative and hate-filled]] they aren't invulnerable to potential {{Squick}} reaction from the audience or the cast themselves. It also happens a bit in figure skating for some reason.

15	[[folder:Anime]]
16	* In the [=LatAm=] (re)dub of ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Revival of Evangelion]]'', Shinji is voiced by Creator/VictorUgarte, and due to ExecutiveMeddling, the voice of Rei (Circe Luna) is replaced by one of Victor's sisters, Creator/GabyUgarte. Which becomes rather awkward during that scene where Shinji enters Rei's room just after she's finished bathing. [[spoiler:InUniverse, she is a clone of his mother after all, and sort-of a sister (raised by the same father). So it's not like it was less awkward to begin with.]]
17	* Greg Snegoff and his mother, Alexandra Kenworthy, played couples in the following dubs:
18	** [[UnholyMatrimony Khyron and Azonia]] in ''Anime/{{Robotech}}''.
19	** Taki and Mackie in ''Anime/WickedCity''.
20	** The parents of Mei and Satsuki in the Streamline/Fox dub of ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro''. Satsuki was voiced by [[CastIncest Snegoff's wife, Lisa Michelson]].
21	* In the Brazilian dub of ''Anime/GenmaWars'', Gin and his love interest Rei are voiced by brother and sister.
22	* The first OVA series of ''Manga/FutariEcchi'' has a neighbor couple who are played by the Turba siblings in the German dub.
23	* In ''Literature/TheGeniusPrincesGuideToRaisingANationOutOfDebtHeyHowAboutTreason'', Wein Salema Arbalest and his love interest, Ninym Ralei was voiced by siblings Caio and Isabella Guarnieri of brazilian version.
24	* A small example occurs in the [=LatAm=] dub ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''. During the first 12 seasons, Ash was voiced by Creator/GabrielRamos, and the season 1 episode "The School of Hard Knocks" shows a rare instance of Ash being attracted to a girl. Said girl, Giselle, is voiced by Ana Lucía Ramos, his older sister.

28	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
29	* In short film ''Film/TheDutchMaster'', Creator/MiraSorvino has a sex scene with an actor named Rick Pasqualone--her first cousin.
30	* In the Hungarian dub of ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers (the girl of his dreams) are voiced by brother and sister.
31	* In ''Film/{{Freaks}}'' (1932), the dwarf main characters, who become a couple, were played by siblings Harry and Daisy Earles. To avoid being too uncomfortable, their romance is ''really'' downplayed.
32	* Also true of the dwarf couple in ''Film/PutneySwope''.
33	* Siblings [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace Christopher Khayman Lee]] and [[Series/GreysAnatomy Chyler Leigh]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYO2OdAI3H4 kissed]] in the 1997 movie ''Film/KickboxingAcademy''.
34	* The German semi-fictional movie about the eponymous ''Comedian Harmonists'' has siblings Meret and Ben Becker playing love interests, including a long and dramatic kiss scene.
35	* ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate''[='s=] infamous ending gets even worse when you remember that The Master and Debbie are played by real-life father and daughter.
36	* ''Film/HocusPocus'': "[[HollywoodSatanism The Master]]" -- no, not the same Master as the one in the example above -- and his bickering wife are played by brother and sister Garry and Penny Marshall in uncredited roles.
37	* In the 1968 anthology film, ''Film/SpiritsOfTheDead'', Creator/JaneFonda plays a noblewoman who falls in love with [[KissingCousins her cousin]] - portrayed by Jane's brother, Peter Fonda.
38	* In ''Film/TheSundowners'', Mervyn Johns is a drunk who leers at a character played by his real-life daughter, Creator/GlynisJohns.
39	* In ''Film/TheHorrorOfPartyBeach'', the leads Hank and Elaine are played by brother and sister, resulting in them having no on-screen sexual chemistry.
40	[[/folder]]
41
42	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
43	* ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'': Real-life siblings Julianne and Derek Hough have danced romantic numbers together several times.
44	* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'': Creator/JustineBateman, sister of Creator/JasonBateman, plays a prostitute who propositions Jason's character. It's also played with, where Jason's character believes that Justine's character is his sister -- which turns out to be false. Funny enough, the original plan was to play the trope straight, but neither of the Batemans were comfortable with that. Appropriately enough, Michael comes out with this line.
45	-->"[[RunningGag Marry me!]]... [[ThisIsWrongOnSoManyLevels that's wrong on so many levels.]]"
46	* ''Series/OneLifeToLive'': Real-life siblings Kristen and Eddie Alderson play unrelated characters. A few years back, a storyline involved Eddie's Matthew having a crush on Kristen's Starr. The boy had to pretend to have a crush on his sister. Gross.
47	* Averted on ''Series/RumpoleOfTheBailey'': Mrs. Rumpole occasionally accuses Rumpole (played by Leo [=McKern=]) of having an affair with Liz Probert, who for Series 5-7 is played by Abigail [=McKern=] (Leo's daughter). However, he never actually does anything of the kind.
48	* One episode of ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' shows Frank (Danny Devito) in a restaurant openly leering at a waitress played by Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman's real-life daughter.
49	* In ''Series/{{Parallax}}'', the Martin Dunkly from Ben's World (Kasmir Sas) is frequently hitting on the Melinda (Francoise Sas) from Ben's world (and occasionally the one from Katherine's world, when he mistakes her for the Melinda from Ben's world) and trying to get together with her. The two are brother and sister in real life.
50	* Frank Sinatra, Jr., appeared in an episode of ''Series/Adam12'' as a police officer seeking the affections of an unrelated woman played by his sister Tina Sinatra.
51	* Dick and Joyce Van Patten the ''Series/DiagnosisMurder'' episode "Murder at the Telethon". While their characters are divorced, their piano rendition of "Makin' Whoopee" is enough to cue the BrainBleach.
52	* Weird sort-of example from ''Series/{{Degrassi\|TheNextGeneration}}'': Craig's little sister is played by Alex Steele. Alex is the real-life sister of Cassie Steele, who plays Manny. Thus, some viewers were {{squick}}ed when Craig and Manny started hooking up. Lampshaded in a season two episode when Craig and Manny have their first date and Craig later says Manny reminds him of his little sister.
53	* There was a similar example in ''Series/HomeAndAway'' when Morgan Weaving, the younger sister of regular Samara Weaving, was cast as Lottie Ryan, the love interest of Dexter Walker... who was the younger brother of Samara's character Indigo Walker. The fact that the two sisters' voices are pretty much exactly the same led some fans to complain that Dexter was dating a girl who looked and sounded exactly like his sister, and pretty much every FanFic featuring Lottie feels obliged to have someone point this out.
54	* And another semi-example from ''Series/SwitchedAtBirth''. Zoey Deutch plays a character who dates Lucas Grabeel, while her real-life mother Creator/LeaThompson plays Grabeel's mother.
55	* Another near-example happened in the Spanish sitcom ''Aida'' when María León, sister to Paco León who plays the main character Luisma, was given a small recurring part as Luisma's coworker. In one episode, the two characters ''pretended'' to have slept together so Luisma's on and off girlfriend would finally break up with him.
56	* In ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'', Kensi Blye and Marty Deeks have a long-running BelligerentSexualTension arc [[spoiler:[[RelationshipUpgrade and eventually become a couple]]]]. Creator/DanielaRuah (Kensi) is married to the brother of Eric Christian Olsen (Deeks), who also works on the show as Deeks' stunt double.
57	* Although they never have sex (at least on camera), Powers Boothe's character on ''Series/{{Deadwood}}'' often orders the hooker "Tess" to perform degrading sex acts. Tess is played by his real-life daughter, Parisse Boothe.
58	* Singer Music/LilyAllen claimed that she turned down a chance to play the sister of Theon Greyjoy, played by her brother, Alfie Allen, in ''Series/GameOfThrones'' due to a scene in which Theon fondles his sister before he discovers that they're siblings. Her brother, however, later denied this ever happened.
59	* Played with on ''Series/SchittsCreek'' when the character of David is playing spin the bottle and tells his friend he is not "dying to play" given that his sister Alexis is sitting in the circle. This is an in-joke because David is played by Creator/DanLevy and his real-life sister Creator/SarahLevy plays Twyla, who was also sitting in the circle. David doesn't kiss Alexis or Twyla.
60	* In the Brazilian dub of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', Clark and Lana were voiced by siblings Peterson Adriano and Fernanda Crispim. They did it again in ''Series/OneTreeHill'', in which Peterson voiced Felix, who had an affair with Brooke, voiced by Fernanda.
61	* Brazilian dubs also had a lesbian case in ''Series/BlackLightning'', where Anissa Pierce and Chenoa are sisters Adriana and Mariana Torres.
62	* A third Brazilian case: as recalled by Caio Guarnieri when he received his sister Isabella in his [=YouTube=] channel, while dubbing a Russian show, Caio was recording a passionate love scene, and then when he recognized the already recorded voice of Isabella, he angrily asked how the dub directors had the guts to cast the two siblings as lovers.
63	* In the Latin American dub of ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'', Creator/VictorUgarte voices Sabrina's love interest Harvey during seasons 2-4. Sabrina herself is voiced from the second season onwards by Víctor's younger sister Creator/XochitlUgarte.
64
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:Music Videos]]
68	* In the video for Music/BritneySpears' debut hit "...Baby One More Time", her love interest is played by her real life cousin, Chad Spears. Admittedly, the "romance" never amounts to anything but suggestive glances across the basketball court and her singing to him briefly, but still, given the number of guys who appear in the video, did they really have to pick the one she was ''related to'' to play the part?
69	* In the Music/MichaelJackson[=/=]Music/PaulMcCartney video "Say, Say, Say", Michael's love interest is played by his sister [=LaToya=]. (This also almost happened in Michael's "The Way You Make Me Feel" music video.)
70	* Both of Music/{{Pimpinela}}'s members are siblings. In the song ''Olvídame y pega la vuelta'', they portray a couple breaking up.
71	* In the music video for "Stuck" by Stacie Orrico, her cheating boyfriend is played by her real-life cousin, actor Trevor Wright. He plays her love interest again in the video for "I Could Be the One".
72	[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder:Radio]]
75	* Creator/TheBBC Radio 4 comedy series ''Jack and Millie'' stars siblings Jeremy and Rebecca Front as the eponymous married couple.
76	[[/folder]]
77
78	[[folder:Toys]]
79	* Franchise/{{Barbie}} and Ken are often regarded as the perfect couple. So long as one doesn't dwell on the fact that the guy who designed the first dolls used his own daughter and son as models.
80	[[/folder]]
81
82	[[folder:Theater]]
83	* In the Gothenburg concert version of ''Theatre/{{Chess}}'', Freddie's and Florence's actors are brother and sister. Granted, [[NoAccountingForTaste most of what Freddie and Florence do onstage is argue]], but still...
84	* Historically, CommediaDellArte troupes were often families, so the Lovers could be played by brother and sister.
85	* Creator/FredAstaire and his sister Adele played romantic roles opposite each other for many years in stage musicals. When his sister, who was more popular, quit to get married he worried his career would be over. Of course, history had another medium for him to become famous in.
86	* Sisters Charlotte and Susan Webb Cushman played ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' (respectively) in the 1840s.
87	[[/folder]]
88
89	[[folder:Video Games]]
90	* Averted in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', despite the game mostly allowing you to pair up anyone with just about anyone else within the same generation. Creator/SamRiegel and his sister [[Creator/EdenRiegel Eden]] both voice multiple characters, but Eden voices Sumia, one of the few first-generation characters with a limited husband pool, and Nah, a second-generation character. Both of Sam's characters are first-generation characters not in Sumia's husband pool, so the only way RealLifeRelative can come into play is if they're playing father and [[KidFromTheFuture time-displaced daughter]].
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder:Web Original]]
94	* In ''The Hillywood Show"''s ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfqTKt9RtNw Dark Knight video]]'', ComicBook/TheJoker and his girl Harley Quinn are played by real-life sisters Hilly and Hanna Hindi. Yes, that's right. The Joker is a SweetPollyOliver and she nearly makes out with her sister.
95	* In ''WebAnimation/AnAkatsukisLife'', the creator of the series, Dante-C, and his sister are voicing Pein and Konan, respectively, who are the OfficialCouple.
96	* Whenever romance happens in ''Podcast/TheAdventureZone'', this is inevitable, as the players are the Creator/McElroyBrothers and their father. Except when the relationship is between two [=NPCs=], when it becomes a case of Griffin ActingForTwo. Most notable is the relationship between Taako (Justin's character) and Kravitz (an NPC), whose first date was entirely played out. In the following ''The The Adventure Zone Zone'', the brothers clarified that it made them very uncomfortable to roleplay a romantic relationship with one another, and that, while the relationship between Taako and Kravitz would remain, any further dates would occur off-screen.
97	[[/folder]]
98
99	[[folder:Western Animation]]
100	* On ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', creator Creator/SethMacFarlane plays Stewie Griffin, while his sister Creator/RachaelMacFarlane has played love interest Olivia in a few episodes. Both characters are ''babies,'' though, so maybe this is more a meta case of FatherIWantToMarryMyBrother?
101	** This happens in other episodes occasionally, such as one where Rachael plays a one-episode love interest for his character Quagmire, and another where Stewie flirts with an older woman also voiced by Rachael [=MacFarlane=].
102	* On ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', Creator/SethMacFarlane plays both Stan Smith, and his identical body double, Bill, while Creator/RachaelMacFarlane plays Stan's daughter Hayley. Bill and Hayley eventually hook up, much to Stan's initial joy, until [[RuleOfFunny it becomes gross]] when he discovers Bill wants to break up with her and tries to replace him for a camping trip, during which Hayley plans to have sex with Bill. (Don't worry, nothing happens.)
103	* The Italian dub of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' has Heather and Trent voiced by Monica Ward and her son, Alessandro. They kissed in the episode "Search and Do Not Destroy".
104	** In the Hungarian dub, Carrie and Devin are voiced by Zsanett Czeto and her older brother Roland. They started a romantic relationship near the end of the season and kissed in their elimination episode ("Last Tango in Buenos Aires").
105	** In Brazil, Crimson and Ennui are voiced by brother (Rafael Rodrigo) and sister (Jessica Marina). "I Love Ridonc and Roll", an episode from the seventh season/ SpinOff, confirms that Crimson and Ennui have been dating for three years.
106	* On ''WesternAnimation/LilBush'', Lil' Cheney is played by series creator Donick Cary, and Barbara Bush is played by his mother Mara Cary. In one episode Mrs. Bush pulls a MrsRobinson on Cheney.
107	* In the German dub of ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', T.J. was played by Robert Stadlober and Spinelli was played by his older sister, Anja Stadlober. Both characters have been implied to have crushes on each other (Confirmed on Spinelli's side), and they kiss in one episode. Averted in the third season onwards when T.J. got a new voice actor.
108	* ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'': Will and her LoveInterest-then-later-her-boyfriend Matt are voiced by the Turba siblings in the German dub.
109	* Loretta and Mirandos on ''WesternAnimation/MilesFromTomorrowland'' have had some light Main/ShipTease, eventually resulting in a kiss on the cheek where they both blush. They're voiced by Fiona Bishop and Ivy Bishop, who are sisters in real life.

112	[[folder:Other]]
113	* In figure skating, pairs and ''especially'' ice dance benefit from strong partnerships, people who have worked together a long time and know each other very well. The easiest way to have been partnered since you were children? Is if you are a brother/sister team. Which is absolutely fine when they're young but can get awkward as adults in high-level competition, since romantic themes are extremely common and popular in ice dance programs. A large percentage of Olympic ice dancers are either married OR siblings.

116	!!Fictional examples
117
118	[[folder:Anime]]
119	* ''Manga/OshiNoKo'': The Movie Arc has twin siblings Aqua and Ruby cast as [[spoiler:their own parents in the movie retelling the events that lead to their mother’s murder.]]
120	* While no attention gets drawn to it, in one episode of ''Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries'' Misty is forcefully cast as the star of an underwater ballet run by her older sisters. Misty plays a mermaid while her eldest sister, Daisy, plays the prince who is described as the mermaid's true love. Thankfully for the audience, Team Rocket's intervention causes the play to go OffTheRails before the sisters have to engage in any romantic scenes.
121	[[/folder]]
122
123	[[folder:Comic Books]]
124	* In ''ComicBook/YTheLastMan'', the protagonist mentions him and his sister being cast as Romeo and Juliet, respectively, in the school play. However, they both decide they want to avert it, and his sister is selfless enough to drop out of the production.
125	* During Creator/MarvelComics' ''ComicBook/CivilWar2006'' storyline, Johnny Storm and Susan Storm Richards, brother and sister members of the ComicBook/FantasticFour, assumed undercover identities as husband and wife. Sue considers it the most disturbing thing she's ever done.
126	* A particularly weird ''Comicbook/TeenTitans'' story may have been this or an inversion, it was never made clear, but involved NoCelebritiesWereHarmed versions of Music/{{Wings}} and Music/{{Carpenters}}, and turned on the reveal that Peter and Laura [=McCarthy=] were the ''same people'' as Ricky and Cathy Woodworker.
127	[[/folder]]
128
129	[[folder:Fan Works]]
130	* In ''Fanfic/AshesOfThePast'', when the events of [[Anime/{{Pokemon 3}} the third movie]] come around in this timeline, the Unown not only make Molly an Entei "father", but also a Suicune "mother" and a Raikou "older brother". All three are perfect doppelgangers to the Beasts of Ecruteak, even to other Pokémon who can tell the difference between individuals of their species ([[spoiler:though when they [[BecomeARealBoy become real Pokémon]], they're made Shiny to differentiate]]), and the three Beasts of Ecruteak all see themselves as siblings. Suicune admits to being a bit unsettled whenever she sees her own doppelganger being affectionate with her brother's doppelganger.
131	* In ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn'', Van-Zee and his cousin [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara Zor-El]] are cast as [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Kal-El]] and her love interest Lyla Lerrol respectively in the romance movie "Kal & Lyla". Both are more than a little disturbed about the situation, but Kara tries to not think about it and focus on make their on-screen relationship believable.
132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
135	* The movie musical ''Film/RoyalWedding'' is about a brother and sister team who play lovers on stage. Creator/FredAstaire and Jane Powell were of course not related.
136	* In ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'', it's said that Sharpay and Ryan always got the lead roles in all the productions before Troy and Gabriella, and one character remarks that if Sharpay could find a way to play both Romeo and Juliet, Ryan would be out of a job, so it's safe to assume at least one of these would be a romantic pairing. Even their signature duet in the first film, "What I've Been Looking For", was written for a romantic couple.
137	[[/folder]]
138
139	[[folder:Literature]]
140	* In ''Literature/TheFamilyFang'', the siblings who play romantic leads together are rightfully horrified when they find out their parents set this up. It's... complicated.
141	* Inverted in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows:'' when [[BigBad Voldemort]] takes over the Ministry and begins [[FantasticRacism persecuting Muggle-borns]], Ron offers to help [[TheSmartGirl Hermione]] pretend to be one of his [[KissingCousins cousins.]] They later end up marrying.
142	[[/folder]]
143
144	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
145	* The ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' sketch "Red Ships of Spain" had the in-show version of Robert Goulet (played by Will Ferrell) starring in a broadway show where Goulet's romantic interest is played by his own daughter. The daughter seems very disturbed about the situation, but Goulet is totally oblivious to the [[UnfortunateImplications implications]].
146	* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia''.
147	** "The Nightman Cometh": The gang is putting on a musical Charlie wrote and he casts Mac in the lead role. Dennis and Mac end up switching parts forcing Dennis and his sister Dee to play romantic partners. When they express discomfort with this arrangement, Charlie tells them that this is exactly why he casted Mac as the lead in the first place. They end up cutting their romantic kiss down to a firm hug because of it.
148	** Also happens in "Making Dennis Reynolds a Murderer", where Dee insists on playing her brother's ex-wife in the reenactment.
149	* Used at least twice in ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'': Twins Brett and Danni Stark were cast as the romantic leads in a school play, freaking out both of them, and managed to convince the teacher to let Danni swap roles with Libby Kennedy. In another storyline, Anne Wilkinson won a competition that required her and her boyfriend to take part in a photoshoot but her boyfriend Billy wasn't available so her brother Lance was persuaded to stand in. They just about held it together until they were asked to kiss at which point they blurted out the truth.
150	* In the ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' episode "Bringing Up Buster", George-Michael Bluth attempts to [[InvokedTrope Invoke]] this in order to kiss his cousin Maeby as part of the school play. [[spoiler: He succeeds at being Incestuously Cast. Unfortunately for him, the cousin he has to kiss is Steve Holt.]]
151	* In ''Series/HopeAndFaith'', one episode has the two sisters pretend to be a lesbian couple.
152	* Done strangely in ''Series/RaisingHope'' where Burt and Virgina (a long-married couple) pretend to be brother and sister, and Virgina pretends to have a crush on their son.
153	* Justin and Alex from ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', who are brother and sister, pretend to be married and have three kids in the episode, "Max's Secret Girlfriend".
154	* {{Downplayed}} on ''Series/{{Roseanne}},'' where the title character once got a job as a MallSanta while her sister, Jackie, played MrsClaus.
155	* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E13TheConscienceOfTheKing The Conscience of the King]]", a performance of ''{{Theatre/Macbeth}}'' features the title character and Lady Macbeth played by a father and his daughter.
156	* On ''Series/TheOtherTwo'', Brooke steps in to dance in her brother's video, only to be horrified that she has to grind in front of him in a skimpy outfit. She doesn't, and she also keeps reminding the other dancers that her brother is only 13-years-old.
157	* In the second season of ''Series/HighSchoolMusicalTheMusicalTheSeries'', EJ belatedly realizes that, since he's been cast as Gaston and his cousin Ashlyn as Belle in their production of ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', he'll have to spend the play romantically pursuing her. Ashlyn quickly shuts down any conversation on the topic, and we don't see any of those scenes play out in the show proper anyway.
158	[[/folder]]
159
160	[[folder:Theatre]]
161	* There is a popular joke about Creator/PyotrIlyichTchaikovsky's ''Theatre/EugeneOnegin''. Supposedly there was a production where Prince Gremin and Tatiana were played by siblings, and hilarity ensued when during the performance, as Onegin asked who Tatiana was, Gremin replied "My sister" (instead of "My wife") and Onegin was so shocked that in response he sang "So you are sistered?" (instead of "So you are married?").
162	* ''Theatre/MeanGirls'': In "Stop", Damien recounts having a fling with the actor who played The Beast in their summer camp production of ''Theatre/BeautyAndTheBeast'', and getting jealous of the girl who played his love interest in the following production of ''Theatre/AnythingGoes''. The punchline?
163	--> ''Four whole weeks\
164	I trolled and dissed her\
165	Then I found out\
166	She was his sister, stop!\
167	Hashtag obsessed, stop''

170	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
171	* In ''VisualNovel/RistoranteAmore'', Liam and Laura are cousins in real life, but Liam's route in the [[ShowWithinAShow Game Within a Game]] prologue has Laura falling in love with Liam. The main character points how weird this is.
172	[[/folder]]

174	[[folder:Western Animation]]
175	* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', siblings Katara and Sokka are able to visit a school in the Fire Nation by posing as a married couple, Wang and Sapphire Fire. And to add to the subtext, Katara's disguise makes her look heavily pregnant.
176	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'': Doug got a role in a school play opposite his crush, Patty. Instead, Patty had to drop out for some reason, forcing Doug's sister Judy to take the role. The dramatic kiss scene is thus changed to a kiss on the cheek.
177	* {{Downplayed}} in the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' short "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd0iTQNBrXA Mabel's Guide to Fashion]]", where Dipper is called on to briefly play "guy amazed at how good Mabel looks".
178	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Realty Bites", Marge wants to become a real estate agent, so Bart and Lisa help her study for the big test. The kids create a game where they are a married couple looking for a house and Marge is their real estate agent.
179	-->'''Marge:''' So, you're married, and you're looking for your house, Mister and Missus...
180	-->'''Bart:''' Superman!
181	-->'''Lisa:''' Oh! Don't listen to my husband, he's just an idiot. Now, I'm a veterinarian, and I need to keep lots of sick animals in my house! Is that permitted?
182	-->'''Bart:''' Not in my damn house!
183	-->'''Marge:''' Well, this neighbourhood is zone R3, which allows dogs, cats, phone answering monkeys, and... ohhh... [checks book] I'll never memorize all this!
184	-->'''Lisa:''' When I had to learn about the Magna Carta, I made up a song! [singing] In 1215 at Runnymede, do da do da, the nobles and the king agreed, oh da doo da day!
185	-->'''Bart:''' We should have lived together first!
186	** PlayedWith and {{Downplayed}} in "Tales from the Public Domain", which [[UniversalAdaptorCast features the characters]] in the plot of ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}.'' Bart plays Hamlet while Lisa is Ophelia, but her role is reduced to one scene with no romance angle.
