7	->''"That was this family's speciality: strange conversations."''
8	-->-- '''Tomoya''', ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}''
9
10	''Now remember, as far as anyone knows, we're a perfectly normal family...''
11
12	An ensemble of bizarre characters who are related, or might as well be. Unlike the DysfunctionalFamily, we as the audience plainly see the family is extremely well adjusted, supportive and loving -- more so than some "real" families. They are also easily able to absorb [[StayingWithFriends friends]], acquaintances, and distant relatives into their structure.
13
14	This is coupled with a range of quirks easily labeled "bizarre" by any of their peers.
15
16	It's also very convenient for heroes to have these, as they're not bound by the {{Masquerade}}, weirdness is normal.
17
18	May overlap with CreepyFamily or SuperFamilyTeam. Likely part of the natural growth of a PrettyFreeloaders group. For a larger grouping, see QuirkyTown, or WackyHomeroom.

21	!!Examples
22	[[foldercontrol]]
23
24	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
25	* ''Manga/BlackButler'': the Phantomhive Manor's residents each have something strange about them, save perhaps [[OldRetainer Tanaka]].
26	%%* The Kurata family in ''Manga/{{Kodocha}}''.
27	%% * The Paper Sisters and the famous writer Nenene from the tv series of ''Anime/ReadOrDie'' basically adopted each other.
28	* The Kawai family from the ''Anime/PrettySammy'' series (AlternateUniverse #276 of the ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' multiverse). Her parents were so insane but easygoing, she didn't need ParentalAbandonment to have the freedom to run around fighting monsters.
29	%%* The residents of ''Manga/AoiHouse''.
30	* Yuu and Miki's parents in ''Manga/MarmaladeBoy'' met, liked each other so much that they divorced and remarried each others' spouses, and then all moved in together into one big house.
31	%%* The Shinju-yu (manga)/Pearl Piari (anime) from ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'', where the [[PowerTrio main trio]] lives with their WeaselMascot and CoolBigSis.
32	%% * Meimi and her parents in ''Manga/KaitouSaintTail''.
33	* Both the household of the Takamachis and the Harlaowns of ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''.
34	** For that matter, the Yagami household. It consists of a crippled girl and [[spoiler:her [[ArtificialHuman humanoid program]] Guardian Knights, the Wolkenritter.]]
35	** The Nakajima clan ain't no slouch in this regard, either.
36	* Yuan's family in ''Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo''. Also, the Shiseiten, if you look at them as a family and not TrueCompanions.
37	* The Hiiragizawa household in ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''. The "dad" looks like a ten-year-old kid, and his "children" are a genderless magical being posing as a teenage schoolgirl and a winged cat that looks like a toy most of the time.
38	** Not only that, his girlfriend appears to be way too old for him and [[spoiler:used to date the older brother of the girl he antagonized on a regular basis (and is now dating his maternal family's descendant), who went on to date his previous incarnation's angelic moon spirit. And their father is his half-reincarnation!]]
39	%%* The main cast of ''Manga/KyouranKazokuNikki'' is the perfect example of this.
40	* Although with only two members, they don't make as dramatic a showing as some examples listed above, arguably the Koiwais from ''Manga/{{Yotsuba}}''. Certainly, in his way Dad is nearly as quirky as Yotsuba, if more laid-back about it.
41	* The Furukawa family from ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' featuring a kind mother who is a [[LethalChef lethal baker]], a dad who is still a kid inside and a shy but cute daughter who's somewhat of an airhead.
42	* In ''Manga/Reborn2004'', one by one Reborn, Lambo, Bianchi, I-Pin, and Futa all freeload off of Tsuna.
43	* The Sakura Hall in ''Literature/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou'': An IdiotSavant (Mashiro), an [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife insecure guy]] [[KindHeartedCatLover who shelters seven cats]] (Sorata), a SenseiChan (Chihiro), a [[GenkiGirl hyperactive]] OtakuSurrogate (Misaki), an [[DudeLooksLikeALady effeminate]] {{Hikikomori}} (Ryounosuke), a [[TheCasanova Casanova]] [[HeroicSelfDeprecation with an inferiority complex]] (Jin), and a {{workaholic}} aspiring voice actress who pushes herself too far (Nanami), living together in a two-storey wooden house.
44	* Similar to the Sakura Hall example above, Hidamari Apartments in ''Manga/HidamariSketch'', a private rooming house for art-stream high school students, also has such a reputation.
45	%% * The Mankanshoku family in ''Anime/KillLaKill''.
46	* The Polaris Dorm in ''Manga/FoodWars'' are full of weird people. Soma is a CordonBleughChef who enjoys deliberately cooking horrible dishes for the lulz, Isshiki is a weirdo who likes [[NakedPeopleAreFunny walking around in the buildings in very minimal clothing]], Yuuki raises her own animals in the backyard, Ryoko brews wine during her free time, Ibusaki smokes food in his room, Marui is a hopeless ButtMonkey, while ThoseTwoGuys frequently bicker with each other for any reason. Really, the only "normal" person in the household is Megumi.
47	* The Higashikata household from ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureJojolion'' is this. While the family patriarch, Norisuke IV, is relatively normal (or at least, as normal as you can get in a series like ''[[WorldOfWeirdness JoJo]]''), the family also consist of his children, BeetleManiac Jobin, BrainlessBeauty Hato, {{Jerkass}} ButtMonkey Joshu, blind {{Yandere}} Daiya, Jobin's wife, [[VanityisFeminine Beauty Obsessed]] Mitsuba, their son, CreepyChild Tsurugi, and NinjaMaid Kei Nijimura. Over the course of the Part, they gain new members in the form of the Part's protagonist, AmnesiacHero Josuke, a Rock Animal and the TokenHeroicOrc of the Rock Creatures, Iwasuke, and Norisuke's ex-wife and resident BlackSheep Kaato.
48	* The Forger family in ''Manga/SpyXFamily'' is an interesting take on this trope. Each member of the family has a SecretIdentity (Loid is a spy, Yor is an assassin, Anya is a telepath, and [[BigFriendlyDog Bond]] can see the future), but each of them except Anya thinks the others are perfectly normal. Yor thinks that Loid is a mild-mannered psychiatrist, and Anya is actually his daughter from a previous marriage. Loid thinks Anya is simply the smartest kid at the OrphanageOfFear he found her at, and Yor is just an OfficeLady who needed a male partner to get the SecretPolice off her back. It's unclear how much Bond knows about the humans, but since he's a dog, it's not like he could tell anyone. Anya knows everyone's secrets, but she's not telling anyone.
49	** Yor's brother Yuri has no idea about any of the family's secret identities, though Loid knows he's [[spoiler:a member of the Secret Police]].
50	[[/folder]]
51
52	[[folder:Comic Books]]
53	* ''The Crossovers'', who buck the idea that the Quirky Household residents don't need to worry about TheMasquerade, because every member of the family is maintaining a ''[[FantasyKitchenSink different]]'' Masquerade. The dad Carter is the FlyingBrick superhero Archetype, the mom Calista is a VampireHunter, the BrattyTeenageDaughter Cris secretly travels to a SwordAndSorcery word as the heroine Eradika, and her kid brother Clifford is communicating with TheGreys.
54	[[/folder]]
55
56	[[folder:Fan Works]]
57	* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'':
58	** The Avengers household is very much one of these. They're a RagtagBunchOfMisfits, each with quite a few psychological issues, and a FamilyOfChoice, kept more or less in order by TeamMom Pepper Potts. It gets to the point where explosions, Tony running around screaming and half-naked, or [[BadassCrew the Warriors Three]] performing an impromptu rendition of Mambo Number Five is just another day in the life.
59	** The Royal Household of Asgard, though it's less obviously quirky, is also this trope - Loki mentions that his parents didn't care what he and Thor kept in their rooms as long as nothing ate the servants, and all unusual smells and explosions were kept within the room.
60	*** Likewise [[TheGoodChancellor Algrim]] has developed two separate routines. In the same way that animals can predict upcoming thunderstorms, he can predict Royal Family arguments and explosions with incredible accuracy. When Harry is about to [[CallingTheOldManOut explode at Odin for not getting him out of the Dursleys]], Algrim is noted to select a ''particularly'' heavy desk. Likewise, whenever he leaves a room where Loki (or latterly, Tony and Bruce) are experimenting, he steps outside, counts to eight, then ducks into the nearest alcove. Cue explosion.
61	* The Queen household in the ''Fanfic/LegacySeries'' is also this trope-everyone in the family is or [[RetiredBadass used to be]] part of [[Series/{{Arrow}} Team Arrow]], it's full of usually-affectionate snark, and once [[spoiler: Jon]] gets going as the second Arrow, they get sucked back into the wild world of vilgilantism.
62	* The tenants of ''Hôtel Camélia'' from ''The Legend of Royal Blue and La Sylphide'' is a "found family" example of this trope. Alphonse Agreste is the landlord, his grandson Gabriel is a ScholarshipStudent by day and a superhero by night, Frau Tannenbaum is a doddering GrannyClassic who treats her houseplants like pets, Christine and Quentin Pons balance work and raising their kindergarten-age daughter Paulette, Giselle Marion is a nursing intern made all but nocturnal by her shift schedule, Davy Blaise is an [[NervousWreck anxiety-ridden]] law student, and M. Lévêque lives in the CreepyBasement and does most of the mansion's upkeep despite Gabriel [[TheGhost never actually seeing him]].
63	* The Date-Sanada household in [[https://www.deviantart.com/slifofinadragon SlifofinaDragon]]'s ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' fanfics (set both during the [[UsefulNotes/SengokuPeriod Warring States period]] and [[ModernAUFic modern times]] (Heisei era-Reiwa era). Despite being unmarried, UsefulNotes/DateMasamune and [[UsefulNotes/SanadaYukimura Sanada]] [[MisterSeahorse Yukimura]] are living it quite well, with Masamune being the current head of the Date {{Yakuza}} syndicate and them having two kids Yuki ([[MafiaPrincess daughter]]) and Masa (son), and eventually their young grandson Tsukitora, who Masa gives birth to, courtesy of the [[DoomedByCanon obviously doomed]] Oyamada Nobushige, but Katakura Kojuro fills in being stepdad and Masa's second boyfriend.
64	[[/folder]]
65
66	[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
67	* The Parr family from ''Franchise/TheIncredibles'' films appear to be a nice suburban family. Little do their neighbors know that they are actually superheroes who have to keep their superpowers a secret to avoid lawsuits.
68	* In ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons'', the Robinson family includes a patriarch with a smiley face drawn on the back of his head who always wears his clothes backwards (but claims his head is backwards) and his wife, a retired DitzyGenius who loves dancing (called "baking cookies"). He has two brothers, one of whom is big and fat and needs to be fed lest disaster strike and married to a train enthusiast with very large model trains, the other of whom is a HenpeckedHusband married to a ventriloquist dummy with two adult children who act like fighting kids: a sister who wears a giant skyscraper hat and a brother who flies around painting on everything. Their son invented almost everything anyone uses and his wife spent most of her life teaching frogs to dance, sing, and play instruments. She has two brothers, one of whom is a cannon enthusiast (both using and being shot out of, actually racing at one point with his train enthusiast in-law) and one of whom delivers pizza dressed as a superhero in a UFO. Their grandson is fairly ordinary in comparison but still managed to leave the garage door open so that one of the two family time machines got stolen. There's also a robot, a butler who is a giant squid, and two random twins (apparently unrelated to everyone else) who live in the flower pots on the stoop and compete for doorbell rings. They frequently have food fights at the dinner table, cheer and toast when people fail, and have a very difficult to navigate their own house. Still, they are one of the most functional loving families ever.
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
72	* In ''Unstrung Heroes'': young Steven Lidz' home, to a lesser extent. '''Especially''' quirky, however: the labyrinthine apartment (filled with hoarded junk) in which he lives with his [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} eccentric uncles]] for awhile, after his [[IncurableCoughOfDeath mother's illness]] exacerbates the awkwardness of Steven's relationship with his father. Franz--actually Steven, now rechristened by his uncles; ItMakesSenseInContext--undergoes an disorienting yet often enjoyable identity crisis. Then, as it turns out, at least one of his uncles is a bit [[SanitySlippage more than merely eccentric]]. Franz must navigate between his uncles' pride in their heritage (complicated by imagined anti-Semitism lurking everywhere), and his [[ForScience inventor father's 100% materialist]] (i.e. anti-spiritual) worldview.
73	* ''Film/BeetleJuice'': The Maitland/Deitz family household is a quirky blend of a benevolent ghost couple mixed with a perky goth chick, her father and very artsy stepmother.
74	[[/folder]]
75
76	[[folder:Literature]]
77	* The Moomin family, from [[Literature/TheMoomins the children's book series]] by Tove Jansson.
78	* Roleplay example -- the cafe in ''Kokoro''.
79	* The Bagthorpe family in ''Literature/TheBagthorpeSaga'' almost all have one or more screws loose - from arrogant, misanthrophic disaster magnet Mr Bagthorpe to [[TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes advice-giver to all but her own family]] Mrs Bagthorpe to the three teenage/pre-teen {{Insufferable Genius}}es that are William, Tess, and Rosie to their [[EnfantTerrible 4-year-old cousin and vortex of destruction Daisy Parker,]] comic mayhem is never far away thanks to their self-absorption and not being quite as clever as they like to think. Unsurprisingly, the books are mostly told from the bemused perspective of the OnlySaneMan among them: 12-year-old "Ordinary" Jack Bagthorpe. However, if someone from ''outside'' the family threatens them in any way, the Bagthorpes don't hesitate to band together against the outsider.
80	* The Cassons of ''Saffy's Angel'' and its sequels (the Literature/CassonFamilySeries).
81	* ''Literature/HarryPotter'':
82	** The Weasleys fit this, due to their seven children (nearly all with extremely different personalities), MamaBear mother, eccentric father, weird pets (hyperactive owl; ancient, enfeebled owl; and ghoul), all crammed into a small, ramshackle house and, oh yeah, they're all wizards.
83	** If they qualify, then they're normal compared to the Lovegood household.
84	* The Threepwood Household at ''Literature/BlandingsCastle'': The dithering Earl of Emsworth, his long-suffering sister Connie, the HypercompetentSidekick Beach, Emsworth's [[UpperClassTwit ditzy son Freddie]] (occasionally bordering on the GeniusDitz), and the TeamPet, the Empress Of Blandings.
85	* Tana French's ''Literature/TheLikeness'' has one consisting of intelligent yet socially backwards twenty-something Daniel March and his best friends, Rafe, Abby, Justin and Lexie. The five live in a large estate which [[FriendsRentControl Daniel inherited from his uncle]].
86	* This describes the ''Literature/{{Barbapapa}}'' family perfectly; a group of multi-colored [[BlobMonster blob monsters]] who can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting voluntarily shapeshift]] into anything they want to, and all with their different quirks. There's Barbabravo, a red jock sports fan and amateur KidDetective; Barbabright, a blue scientist; Barbazoo, a yellow AnimalLover, Barbabeau, the only furry one, and a black painter; Barbalala, a green calm musician; Barbabelle, a purple narcissistic beauty queen; and Barbalib, an orange intelligent bookworm. And that's without mentioning Frank and Cindy, or the many (though relatively normal) dogs and other animals that the [[BigGood kind, caring family]] keep around them.
87	* ''Literature/InCryptid'': The Price family is a BadassFamily of cryptozoologists who include a {{roofhopping}} ballroom dancer, a BadassBookworm herpetologist, a [[RollerbladeGood roller derby-playing]] [[OurMagesAreDifferent Sorcerer]], a DimensionalTraveler Grandma who [[OlderThanTheyLook looks younger than her own grandkids]], and a HumanOutsideAlienInside telepath who loves math. Oh, and they also live with hundreds of mice that [[AnimalReligion worship them as gods]].
88	[[/folder]]
89
90	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
91	* Subverted by ''Series/TheYoungOnes'', in which none of the characters in the house can actually stand one another for any significant length of time. This doesn't count as an instance of DysfunctionalFamily, as the characters in a DysfunctionalFamily show are permitted to get along with one another ''despite'' their differences.
92	* The Coneheads from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''.
93	* ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'' and ''Series/TheMunsters'' are classic examples.
94	* ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun'': Tom, Dick, Harry and Sally. [[ValuesDissonance On Earth]].
95	* The characters of ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' sound a lot like a "walks into a bar" joke if you list them all. ''Two veterans, a pilot, a doctor, a crazy girl, a mercenary, a priest, a whore, and a mechanic walk into a spaceship...''
96	* ''Series/MillionYenWomen'': Shin's household consists of himself (a stuggling novelist), a cat and five women who were invited to move in with him by an unknown person. The women are a high-schooler, a rude ShamelessFanserviceGirl, a {{Bookworm}}, a socially awkward woman, and a NiceGirl.
97	* Stephen Poliakoff's BBC miniseries ''[[http://www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/523425/index.html Shooting the Past]]'' has the massive Fallon Photo Collection stored in a BigFancyHouse and cared for by five eccentric curators. None of them are related, but they've all been doing this for so long that they regard each other this way. Chief curator Oswald Bates (Creator/TimothySpall) says they're liable to be regarded as "pathetic dusty people who just stepped out of an [[Creator/EalingStudios Ealing comedy]] with Margaret Rutherford."
98	* ''Series/{{Pataclaun}}'' is basically if the Flintstones met Casper. It stars a ditzy housewife for a mother, an abrasive father, three quirky ghosts, and a baby with the intelligence and foresight of a college student. And they're all clowns, also.
99	[[/folder]]
100
101	[[folder:Roleplays]]
102	* Often in [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover multifandom]] RolePlayingGames on [=LiveJournal=], characters will form together in a (very quirky) band of TrueCompanions depending on where they live. For example, the game ''Polychromatic'' has characters from ''Anime/PrincessTutu'', ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'', and ''Manga/CountCain'' among others that have settled in a building known as "The Opera House". The result is a chaotic but tightly-knit group of character that often treat each other like family. (Poly has tons of characters, so this is just one example of many.)
103	[[/folder]]
104
105	[[folder:Theater]]
106	* Made famous in the 1936 Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway theatre hit, ''Theatre/YouCantTakeItWithYou'', by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, making this [[OlderThanTelevision a fairly well aged ensemble]]. This also applies to the movie verson.
107	[[/folder]]
108
109	[[folder:Webcomics]]
110	* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'': Wolf House, the informal nickname for a single household in the small suburbia of Babylon Gardens owned and paid for by the wealthy Milton Family. True to its name, its lived in most prominantly by the sprawling wolf clan trying to adjust to modern society outside the woods, but also houses a family of dogs, a red panda, squirrel, and bobcat. A RunningGag after a while of this becomes just how cramped the place is and how much money goes into letting everyone inside stay rent-free.
111	* The Verres family of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', consisting of two shapeshifters (One an adopted [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent weresquirrel]] with enormous magical power, the other a {{Chivalrous Pervert}}ed MadScientist who causes oodles of GenderBending.) is the most noticeable example. Far more subtly is the Dunkel household, which is fairly normal other than having an OppositeSexClone of the OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Elliot, and the fact that the parents show almost no concern (compared to most people) when their son [[GenderBender randomly changes sex]] or breaks into a government installation and brings back [[OppositeSexClone said mysterious twin sister.]] They just give a lecture then offer their kids brownies. It gets really, really weird after a while.
112	-->'''[[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?date=2010-12-10 Dan]]''': I also liked that reasoning because it gave me the idea for this comic, and I love writing scenes like this. There's a certain madness to the Dunkel household that, in my opinion, makes the Verres household look relatively sane. It's enough that I feel I must now assure you, the audience, that there are no questionable ingredients in Mrs. Dunkel's brownies.
113	* [[WeirdnessMagnet Bob,]] Jean, [[CuteMonsterGirl Molly,]] and [[AlienAnimals Snookums]] in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob.'' Could probably expand it to include [[CuteMonsterGirl Galatea,]] [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Auntie Voluptua,]] [[RobotBuddy Roofus,]] and [[OurGiantsAreBigger Djali.]]
114	* The River family from ''Webcomic/{{Irregular Elis}}''. A Spanish webcomic about a [[{{Badass Family}} Badass Family]] of [[{{superhero}} "Superheroes"]] with a lot of Hanna-Barbera influence.
115	* At many points, the cast of ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''.
116	[[/folder]]
117
118	[[folder:Web Original]]
119	* Agents of the WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum tend to come in pairs, and while antagonism between them is sometimes played up for comedic effect, this trope applies almost universally
120	* The Jamesen-Larssen family in ''Literature/TheSlaveBreakers'' - of the seven regular members, only two are actually related, and [[{{Everybody Has Lots of Sex}} almost everyone else is]] [[{{Sex is Good}} having sex with each other]] - not to mention the near-constant parade of trainees in and out of the house, who must also be sexed up pretty often. They make it work.
121	[[/folder]]
122
123	[[folder:Western Animation]]
124	* The Planet Express staff from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' straddle the border between the Quirky Household and TrueCompanions. In the episode "Future Stock", Fry even says, "We're not a traditional family, like the Johnsons next door or the lesbian coven across the street, but we're still a family!"
125	* The boarders in ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' are portrayed this way in several of the later episodes.
126	* The residents of ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''.
127	* ''WesternAnimation/TheOblongs''. 'Nuff said.
128	* The Chan family, in ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', have a rather strong sense of this, consisting of a twelve year old who can sneak in anywhere with almost ninja-like efficiency (whether she's wanted or not), a grumpy, snarky old witchdoctor, a former sumo wrestler turned villainous Tank turned GentleGiant chi wizard in training, and a rather stressed out archaeologist with a knowledge of martial arts as good as... well, he's Jackie Chan, you do the math.
129	* The Flynn-Fletcher Family from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''. A father who's an expert on random and obscure antiques, a mother who was once a one-hit-wonder, a semi-neurotic teenage girl who likes screaming at cheese, a pet platypus who's secretly a special agent, and two brothers who do ''everything''.
130	* The Cake household in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. For one thing, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Pinkie Pie]] is part of it. There's also Mr. and Mrs. Cake's precocious foals Pound Cake (a pegasus) and Pumpkin Cake (a unicorn), and Pinkie's toothless pet alligator [[TheComicallySerious Gummy]].
131	* The Goof family on ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' is a single parent household where the father is a clumsy idiot (Goofy) and the son is a snarky HighSchoolHustler (Max). The closest thing they have to problems are Max feeling embarrassed when people say he reminds them of his dad, but they are extremely loving and close, especially compared to [[DysfunctionalFamily their neighbors]].
132	* The Eggert family on ''WesternAnimation/{{Pelswick}}'' has a CoolOldLady grandmother, an [[PoliticalOvercorrectness absurdly politically correct]] single father, a DisabledSnarker big brother, an AdorablyPrecociousChild little sister, and a baby yet to grow into his quirk. They're very loving and supporting of each other. The household gets quirkier if it includes Pelswick's GuardianAngel.
133	* The Duckman family in ''WesternAnimation/DuckMan''; Duckman himself is a widow, his sister-in-law is the mother figure even when they hate each other, he has two/three sons (one of them has two heads and the other is toddler-level dumb) and a grandmother in a constant coma.
134	* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': Once Dipper and Mabel come to stay with Stan, their portion of the Pines family starts to evolve into one of these. First there's [[CoolUncle Cool Grunkle]] [[HonestJohnsDealership Stan]], then PolarOppositeTwins (who are best friends all the same) [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Dipper]] and [[FunPersonified Mabel]]. Then [[KindheartedSimpleton Soos]], who is gradually revealed to [[spoiler: idolize Stan as a father figure, and is implied to see the twins as his own siblings.]] And by the end, they are all implied to feel likewise about him, especially Stan. Then there's [[CoolBigSis Wendy]], who could easily be considered far more than an employee and friend after [[TrueCompanions all the adventures they've been on together]]. This household, which already [[ZigzaggedTrope zigzagged]] the trope a bit, teeters much farther toward a DysfunctionalFamily littered with PoorCommunicationKills upon the [[spoiler: [[AnotherDimension return of ]][[BadassBookworm Ford]] [[MadScientist Pines,]] ]]but it's heavily implied to go back to being a Quirky Household after the finale, when [[spoiler: Stan and Ford make up and Soos and [[CoolOldLady Abue]][[ShipTease lita]] move in to the Mystery Shack.]]
135	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': Stumpy and his sisters make up one of these. [[TheDitz Stumpy]] is a complete moron, Ardoise is obsessed with money and spends all her time investing in stocks, [[JerkAss Cramoisie]] is a bully, [[MagneticMedium Lavanade]] has supernatural powers, [[AttentionWhore Nombril]] spends all her time trying to get people's attention, [[ImmoralJournalist Poucave]] is an aspiring journalist who writes her articles by spying on people with a PaperThinDisguise and learning their deepest secrets, and [[BornUnlucky Violasse]] is cursed with terrible luck and keeps having to be rescued from bad situations.
136	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': Lincoln Loud is a fairly average kid who happens to be [[MassiveNumberedSiblings the middle of eleven children]], the rest of whom are girls. There's [[BigSisterBully Lori, the bossy oldest sister]]; [[KindheartedSimpleton Leni, the sweet but ditzy one]]; [[TheRockStar Luna, a budding rock starlet]]; [[ThePrankster Luan, a wannabe comedian obsessed with pranks]] [[PungeonMaster and bad puns]]; [[PassionateSportsGirl Lynn, the athletic one]]; [[{{Goth}} Lucy, a snarky pre-teen goth girl]]; [[PolarOppositeTwins the twins, tomboyish Lana and child pageant starlet Lola]]; [[ChildProdigy Lisa, a four year-old super-genius]]; and [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Lily, the youngest]].
137	* The Propulsion family from ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'', who do many odd things. They also all have an unironic love of failure, cannot keep their alien identities secret, are perpetually enthusiastic, and, according to WordOfGod, wake up each day having forgotten previous events.
138	* Jacob's family from ''WesternAnimation/JacobTwoTwo'', which consists of a mellow AuthorAvatar father, a multi-faced and soft-spoken housewife, a ShrinkingViolet younger brother, a BrotherSisterTeam who love to play jokes, a BrattyTeenageDaughter and a slacker older brother. The quirkiness also extends to an AlterKocker grandpa and a GranolaGirl aunt.
139	* The Pearson family from ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' share a duplex with their relatives, the Diggety family. The Pearsons consist of a perky GlamorousSingleMother and two tomboyish daughters (a smartass Meganekko and a masculine stoic), while the Diggety family consists of a GranolaGirl hippie mother, a dad who is a beefy cop on a health food streak, and a slacker teenage son. They’re always there for each other.
