The teacher, who never did ''anything'' when Helga abused him, gets mad at ''Arnold'' and sends him to the principal's office, and his grandparents are notified.

* In one episode of FreshPrinceOfBelAir, Will goes on a date with a pretty girl who at first seems rather sweet. However, at the restaurant, she completely changes, speaking to him in a rude, snide voice, she tells him where they will go to college, what jobs they will both have, ''how many kids they will have and what genders,'' she tells him what to eat and what ''not'' to eat (saying that if he orders cottage cheese now he'll have a heart attack at middle age and leave her with the kids), and when he looks at the waitress to place his order, she yells at both him ''and'' the waitress. When Will tells his aunt and uncle about this, they shrug it off, saying that the dictating what jobs and how many children they'll have is a sign that she has goals, and her getting angry over him looking at another girl, and telling him what he can and can't eat is just proof that she doesn't want to lose him. Now, if the genders were ''flipped...''

He mistakes all the women for men and then they make sexual advances on him, when he says he's married they dismiss it by stating "what did you expect coming here dressed like that on ladies night?" (Jim is as alway in Jeans and a flanell woodcutter type shirt a seemingly very sexually provocative attire in those parts of the woods, the bartender who is male also give him the "sexy attire on ladies night" line) he proceeds to give the ladies lapdances and is later shown being won in poker and having his shirt and belt stuffed with dollar bills when the two other male characters arrive and starts stripping in the middle of the bar and Jim is encouraged to take off his shirt and join in, which he resigningly does.

Only to be body slammed and set upon by several people who had been watching while this took place, but did nothing while the girlfriend was attempting to beat him senseless. They then pushed him to the ground and began a literal NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.

**Yuuji is far from accepting the idea of being with her. That entire episode dedicated to putting them together had him trying to run away from her. Every time he tried to flee from her and avoid Shoko resulted in his friends putting them together or framing him for stuff he didn't did only to make the situation worse. When the {{jerkass}} couple continued to make a fool of themselves, Yuuji was generally trying to get them to win the contest because his friends rigged it to the point where no matter what he did, they would get the right answer. It wasn't until the end of the episode where he changed his mind about Shoko because the {{jerkass}} couple continued to make fun of them both. Next episode, he's trying to run away from her. Final episode, his best friend sold him out to her and she forced him to sign a marriage contract. {{Stockholm Syndrome}} anyone?
