Go To


1	'''Basic Trope''': An uncle or aunt who is well-loved by their nieces/nephews.
2	* '''Straight''': Alice's uncle, Bob, is one of her closest relatives. They enjoy each other's company, and Uncle Bob loves telling Alice jokes and interesting stories.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Alice has a lot of uncles and aunts that she all considers really cool.
4	* '''Downplayed''':
5	** Bob is an HonoraryUncle or something similar, but the trope still plays out.
6	** Alice doesn't get to see Uncle Bob that often, but she thinks he's pretty cool anyway.
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** Uncle Bob has a lot of similarities to Alice, and they get along well because of that.
9	** Uncle Bob disagrees with his brother's strict parenting style and lets Alice get away with things that her parent's wouldn't.
10	* '''Inverted''': CreepyUncle and/or EvilUncle
11	* '''Gender-Inverted''': Alice thinks her aunt, Charlotte, is awesome.
12	* '''Subverted''': Uncle Bob turns out to be EvilAllAlong.
13	* '''Double Subverted''': Despite being an EvilUncle, he turns out to be AffablyEvil, and a case of EvilIsCool, and he [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes definitely does care about Alice.]]
14	* '''Parodied''': ???
15	* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
16	* '''Averted''': Alice doesn't have any mentioned uncles or aunts.
17	* '''Enforced''': The creators of the show want to give Alice an adult to relate to besides her parents, so they add Uncle Bob.
18	* '''Lampshaded''': "So, kids always love the uncle, huh?"
19	* '''Invoked''': Uncle Bob deliberately makes himself the "cool uncle" in Alice's eyes by getting her gifts and being more lenient with her.
20	* '''Exploited''': ???
21	* '''Defied''': Alice is drawn towards Uncle Bob, but he doesn't like kids and rebuffs her.
22	* '''Discussed''': ???
23	* '''Conversed''': "I wish I had an uncle as cool as Bob!"
24	* '''Implied''': [[TheGhost We never see him onscreen]], but Alice often mentions having an uncle who she talks about very favorably.
25	* '''Deconstructed''': At a young age, Alice thinks of her uncle as being "cool" because [[CreepyUncle he compliments her appearance and shows her explicit movies.]] Her parents don't see the warning signs because Alice likes him.
26	* '''Reconstructed''': Then his brother Charlie exposes the abuse and helps Alice recover. Now he's the cool uncle because he's Alice's hero.
