History Main / SliceOfLife

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}''

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' is pretty much this.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' despite the bizarre characters and fantasy elements, the plot features slice of life-style stories for each episodes.
* ''WesternAnimation/OutThere'' is like A slightly more risque and vulgar Regular Show without the fantasy elements.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball''
* ''WesternAnimation/OutThere''

* ''ChiisSweetHome'': Adorable kitty does adorable kitty things. Basically a kitty version of KOn.

* ''Friday''

* ''[[TheViewAskewniverse Clerks]]''
* The Cameron Crowe film ''Singles''

* TamoraPierce's ''Protector of the Small'' quartet. Despite the fact that it's about a girl becoming a knight in a fantasy medieval world, there's essentially no overarching plot except for in the final book of the series.

* ''Acerotiburon'' by Antonia Pinnola is a webcomic that tends to follow this pattern. Can be found [[http://atcomic.com/ here.]] The earlier parts of her comic, which involve the protagonist's ex-boyfriend and the characters of Manga/{{Naruto}}, can be found at her DeviantArt page.

* ''MySoCalledLife.''

* ''AllegrasWindow''

* ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks''. Only Lindsay has a really pronounced character arc by the time the series [[TooGoodToLast ends]].

* ''Manga/OtasukeMikoMikoChan'': Slice of life about an (unintentional) trap who is also a MagicalGirl.

* ''Manga/OsatukeMikoMikoChan'': Slice of life about an (unintentional) trap who is also a MagicalGirl.

* ''AxisPowersHetalia'': Slice of political AnthropomorphicPersonification life.
* ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'': Slice of eccentric [[HighSchool schoolgirl]] life.

* ''FruitsBasket'' is the rare example of a show with supernatural elements that fits this trope.

* ''GreatTeacherOnizuka''. {{Tokyopop}} advertised it with the tagline "No [[GoodEyesEvilEyes big eyes]]. No [[MagicAndPowers magic powers]]. No [[HumongousMecha giant robots]]."

* ''MaisonIkkoku'': Slice of several years of life in a boarding house.

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Basically there are no real plot arcs or [[BigBad main antagonists]] present in the series, since it revolves around Ranma's life of of attending high school and training at the Tendo Dojo, fighting different rivals, dealing with different love interests, and having to put up with Akane Tendo, along with the various misunderstandings that provoke her rage.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'' is an exaggerated slice of life story about teenagers and their parents. The situations can all be related to, but are exaggerated for humor.

* Most issues of ''AstroCity'' were actually SliceOfLife pieces, with the heroes and villains taking a back seat to the ordinary citizens just trying to keep their lives together in a world where superpowered beings attempt to save-and/or-destroy the world on a regular basis.

* Film/{{Amarcord}}

* MarkTwain's ''The Adventures of Tom Sawyer''. Not so much the {{Sequel}} ''The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn''.

* ''TheWonderYears'' (A slice of 1960's life)
* ''{{Friends}}'', a Slice of Life in New York, as lived by a group of friends who became as tight as a family.

* ''FreaksAndGeeks''. Only Lindsay has a really pronounced character arc by the time the series [[TooGoodToLast ends]].
* ''{{Seinfeld}},'' which might as well be the TropeMaker for {{SitCom}}s.
* ''TheDickVanDykeShow'' is the trope maker for the DomCom. All previous ones were of the ILoveLucy variety where the comedy revolves around an out of the ordinary circumstance, event, or scheme.

* ''{{Outnumbered}}''

* ''TheBigBangTheory'' is really about the minor adventures of how socially awkward geniuses go about in activities they are unfamiliar with. Especially in earlier seasons, you see them playing games or hobbies with no other plot than just to see them having fun (the ''{{World of Warcraft}}'' episode opener being a standout).
* ''That70sShow.''
* ''HappyDays.''
* ''MySoCalledLife''

* ''ForBetterOrForWorse'', although the slice got more and more [[{{narm}} overcooked]] as time went on.
* TheFarSide loved this. Of course, the lives we see slices of are weird beyond belief. This ''is'' Gary Larson.
* ''OneBigHappy'' is about the life of 6 year old Ruthie. Unlike in other comics, the kids in this comic mostly act and speak their age.
* ''{{Zits}}'' is an exaggerated slice of life story about teenagers and their parents. The situations can all be related to, but are exaggerated for humor.
* Charles Schultz's ''{{Peanuts}}'', in both comic and cartoon versions, was the story of a small group of friends walking around and dealing with each other's problems. Except with canine fighter pilots.
* ''DykesToWatchOutFor''.
* Requested by {{Garfield}} in [[http://garfield.nfshost.com/1992/03/20/ this strip:]]

* SquidRow, the life of a starving artist in a sea-side resort.

* ''CareBears''--- Most of the ''Adventures In Care-A-Lot'' episodes fits this trope and it's often true of the followup ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsWelcomeToCareALot'' as well.

* It can be argued that ''ScottPilgrim'' both subverts and plays this straight. While the world they live in is clearly a weird video gamed based society where everyone at the least has the potential for super powers, in their world, that is considered the norm. The main plot is essentially the lives and dynamic between all of the characters. When they aren't fighting, everything is actually quite normal, and is almost like a Canadian hipster version of ''{{Friends}}''.
* One issue of ''{{Zot}}'' was called "Jenny's Day", and was just that: it showed Jenny get up in the morning, go to school, and showed an ordinary day in her life. It was made interesting by seeing her thoughts and how much she hated her life and would rather be living on Zot's world.

* ''{{Friends}}''
