Basic Trope: A parent who likes teasing their children and playing jokes on them, all in good nature.
- Straight: Alice and Bob like to play jokes on their kids Claire and Danny, and also enjoy coming up with lighthearted secrets. Claire and Danny find this entertaining.
- Exaggerated: Alice and Bob are both pranksters, and are always getting up to humorous shenanigans to entertain Claire and Danny.
- Downplayed:
- The relationship is something like Wacky Parent, Serious Child - the kids are alright with the jokes, but don't necessarily encourage them.
- Alice and Bob only play jokes like this on special occasions, such as April Fool's Day.
- Justified:
- Alice and Bob were both pranksters before they had kids, and decided to continue the tradition for their children.
- Claire and Danny like practical jokes, so Alice and Bob decide to play along with them.
- Inverted:
- Claire and Danny like playing jokes on their parents.
- Alice and Bob use jokes/pranks maliciously.
- Subverted: Alice and Bob are introduced playing jokes on Claire and Danny. The jokes are all in good fun at first, but then things go too far.
- Double Subverted: Alice and Bob didn't mean to upset their children, and are able to understand that the joke wasn't funny. They avoid that particular joke in the future.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Alice and Bob never tease their kids.
- Enforced: "We should show that Alice and Bob have a good relationship with Claire and Danny, while also showing why they're fun people as well."
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: Claire and Danny think that it'd be fun if their parents played pranks on them, so they ask them to do something fun for April Fool's Day.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Claire and Danny don't find pranks funny, so Alice and Bob don't do them.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
