* The [=McPoyles=] from ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' are a more mundane version of this trope, but still disturbing. A clan of [[VillainousIncest incestuous]], [[BigOlUnibrow unibrowed]] freaks with a penchant for [[TrademarkFavoriteFood lukewarm milk]], they manage to make ''[[ComedicSociopathy the Gang]]'' look well-adjusted.

Added DiffLines:

* An episode of ''Series/DontHugMeImScared'' had the puppets learn about Family, and given the nature of the show they naturally had one of these as their teachers. [[spoiler:Yellow Guy's own creepy relative Roy made a surprise return.]]

* The Pagham-on-Sea series by C. M. Rosens, which includes ''Literature/TheCrows'' and ''Literature/{{Thirteenth}}'', has a complex, inbred HalfHumanHybrid EldritchAbomination family, and focuses on one particular branch of them (the Porters). The family members range from ObliviouslyEvil to IJustWantToBeNormal to fully embracing their monstrous natures. Ricky Porter is an AntiVillain cannibal who has tendrils coming out of the back of his head and can transform into an eldritch god, and can see the future. Wes Porter is a MillionairePlayboy AntiHero who drives people insane because his image can never be captured or remembered, and his absence in people's heads drives them to dark, desperate deeds to try and recall what he looks like; Katy Porter is a teenage girl who transforms into a vengeful devouring god, an example of ThePoorlyChosenOne and ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne. Other family members appear in the main series and its related short stories/novellas, with various roles and mutations.

A case of ItRunsInTheFamily and very often a behavior that identifies TheClan, most of the cases show a NuclearFamily albeit often with cases of {{Nephewism}} and, ironically, in most examples they are not [[DysfunctionalFamily Dysfunctional Families]]. Nonhuman examples often involve a MonsterMash via RandomSpeciesOffspring. Sometimes overlaps with QuirkyHousehold, when is an entire village is a case of {{Halloweentown}}. Contrast with TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether for the horror version, not to be confused with CreepyUncle.
