* The same thing tends to happen to Hiashi in many fanfics; it's rare to find a fic that doesn't portray him as an emotionally, verbally, and in some cases physically abusive father to Hinata (''{{FanFic/Team8}}'' in particular has him as all three, with the physical abuse being heavily implied) and a massive prick in general. However, Team 8's Hiashi isn't really an example of flanderization, as the story is an AU fic where a change in the past affected Hiashi in the present for the worse, but the [[ForWantOfANail nail]] responsible for him being the way he is hasn't been completely explained in story. Currently,only the member's of the author's forum know the full story.) In the series proper, while he does start out as a rather stern clan head who's [[WellDoneSonGuy disappointed with Hinata's ninja prowess]], it's revealed pretty soon afterward that his sternness is actually [[ToughLeaderFacade a mask to hide his guilt over the death of his twin brother (Neji's father) years earlier]], and he is in fact a ReasonableAuthorityFigure whose relationship with Hinata and Neji improves over time.

* ''[[http://knapp-street.org/FeenMaggie/LASTheForce.html Laverne and Shirley Meet the Force]]'', which is a WeirdCrossover between ''Series/LaverneAndShirley'' and ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** Laverne is canonically a GoodBadGirl. In ''this'' story, however, she has no qualms about cheating on her boyfriend [[OriginalCharacter Mark]] with Han Solo and/or Luke Skywalker, and even forgets Mark's name. Her brash side is also exaggerated when she gets so mad at Han Solo that she doesn't want to call a doctor even though he's bleeding out.
** Han Solo has a romantic side in canon, but here, he, like Laverne, has no problem with cheating on Leia with Laverne and/or Shirley, is more concerned with getting a date and/or sex than going back home to his time and galaxy and repairing the ''Millennium Falcon'', and pouts when Shirley tells him and Laverne not to have sex.
** Leia is an ActionGirl and rather moody in canon, but in the story, she outright [[WomanScorned beats Han to a pulp for cheating on her]].



%% [[AC:''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'']]

respectively. In canon, Calvin sometimes shows signs of being smart, but it's mainly just through being [[MrImagination creative]] and [[LittleProfessorDialogue saying big words]], while Hobbes may often [[IDontThinkThatsSuchAGoodIdea call Calvin out on his bad ideas]], but he's not usually cowardly.



* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/43261899 Jenny, Ray's Girlfriend]]'' takes the one scene in the [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 first movie]] where Egon gets angry and shoves Walter Peck, and acts as though it's normal behaviour for him. He's written as occasionally having extreme bouts of anger.

Added DiffLines:

[[AC:''Literature/HarryPotter'']]
* ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndThePortraitOfWhatLookedLikeALargePileOfAsh'' has several examples, due to being computer-generated:
** While Ron's [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes arachnophobia]] is downplayed into simply disliking spiders, his boorishness is exaggerated by him having WrongContextMagic and doing stupid things such as throwing his wand at Voldemort.
** Hermione is canonically very composed, but this version of her is completely nonchalant about Ron ''[[ImAHumanitarian eating her family]]'' and Harry dipping her in hot sauce. Her [[ThePerfectionist perfectionism]] is also exaggerated when she angrily dips a Death Eater's face in mud for wearing a FunTShirt that says she's forgotten how to dance.
** Harry is canonically a bit hot-headed and takes his role as TheChosenOne seriously, but here, he kills a few random Death Eaters and insists that the Dark Arts had better fear him, even as he's [[StaircaseTumble falling downstairs]] for an ''entire summer''.


Added DiffLines:

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'']]
* ''Fanfic/DeadBart'' says that in the fictitious episode, all of the Simpsons except Maggie are exaggerated: Homer is even angrier than usual, Marge goes from being [[CloudcuckoolandersMinder frustrated at Homer's antics]] to downright depressed, Lisa goes from cautious to outright anxious, and Bart goes from a BrattyHalfPint to a kid who actually hates his parents.
