This is an ensemble trope, so using it to describe a person is misuse. Also troping a creator's personal life is not allowed.

The kiss in question is not a \'big lipped alligator moment\'; it is pivotal to Peter and Sid\'s arc, the whole point of which is to be a romance. It also displays Sid\'s increasingly callous actions. Thus, it does not meet the criteria.


* GuyOnGuyIsHot: An indie film he did early in his career ''Seven and a Match'' is known primarily for fangirls squeeing over August making out with [[Series/ParksAndRecreation Ben Wyatt]] in a BigLippedAlligatorMoment.
