* The press release for BBC's upcoming BBC comedy series ''Blandings'' humorously described Literature/BlandingsCastle with the trope name. If the original series by Creator/PGWodehouse is anything to go by, it will be much, ''much'' [[LighterAndSofter more lighthearted in tone]] than the rest of the examples on this page. The general idea could still apply, though; Lord Emsworth is [[ForgetfulJones alarmingly forgetful]] and [[CloudCuckoolander constantly in his own world]], his son Freddie is very much TheUnfavorite, his secretary Baxter is [[ProperlyParanoid severely (though not unjustifiably) paranoid]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and their butler is a hypochondriac]]. All of this is PlayedForLaughs.

The heroine was an angst-ridden eleven-year old who lost her mother to cancer and then had the fate of the world dumped on her shoulders, four [[LivingToy living toys]] who suffer from AFateWorseThanDeath for 1100 years, [[NobleWolf Wolfgang]] hates his father for denying him his rightful heritage and then turning him into a toy for trying to save him from his own dark magic, Michael Scot's servant [=McTaggart=] was tortured and then made immortal as punishment for stealing his spellbook which Wolfgang also tried to dispose of, and the badguy Toledo is an ArtificialHuman made by Michael, abused, and turned evil to prove his worth.

** ''NightAndDay'' parodies soapy dysfunction in spades, with pretty much every character of note. Many of the weekly episode blocks/omnibuses will showcase a ‘breakdown of the week’ – to cite just a few examples, Natalie Harper randomly becoming a prostitute; hairdresser Roxanne Doyle attacking the barnets of all who have wronged her; Mike Brake stuffing himself with junk food to a cartoon-like degree; and a suicidal Duncan Harper holding his friends hostage with a grenade in a church as they confess their sins, in an attempt to talk him out of detonating it. Lampshaded in the final few episodes, as all the characters begin to book in therapy sessions with none other than the BigBad (who is not a therapist), without any sensible explanation.
