History Main / DumpThemAll

* On ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark,'' this is the way {{Satan}} resolves the LoveTriangle between him, his ex-lover SaddamHussein, and his current boyfriend Chris. It was based on [[GodKartingWithBeelzebub advice]] from {{God}}, who noted how [[TheDevilIsALoser lame and overly-dependent]] Satan had grown over the centuries.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' has Jacqueline Bouvier, Marge's mother, doing this. As Abe Simpson interrupts her wedding to Mr. Burns, he asks her if she's rather be Mrs. Abraham Simpson than Mrs Charles Montgomery Burns. She says no; she doesn't want to be either. This is good enough for Abe, who then runs out of the church with her and the two of them run onto the back of a bus a la ''Film/TheGraduate''.

* The heroine of ''CatchThatKid'' rejects both of her male friends as love interests at the end of the movie.

* In a twist of irony, the Scheris/Mimori/Ryuhou love triangle in ''{{S-Cry-ed}}'' ends with Scheris dead and Ryuhou rejecting Mimori despite his implied attraction to her because he feels it wouldn't be right. Although he displayed no attraction to Scheris either, she died for him, and he feels Mimori might very well meet the same end if she was to get together with him now.

* ''Film/ShesGottaHaveIt'' ends with the protagonist dumping all three of the men she's sleeping with and deciding to be "celibate" for a while.

Contrast MarryThemAll and NoRomanticResolution.

* In {{Catherine}} should you decide to go the ''Freedom'' route, that is answering questions and texts which keep your KarmaMeter neutral as well as providing certain responses to some of the final questions can have the game end with different variations on this. Interestingly enough, it is one of the three [[GoldenEnding Golden Endings]] which the game possesses.
* Implied by necessity to start Chitose's route in {{Videogame/Galaxy Angel}}: Moonlit Lovers. Much like the beginning of the first game, the story picks up where Tact was chilling with Lester. While this is treated innocently enough with no presumptions, the only way to get there in the first game is to horrifically screw the LastSecondEndingChoice with the chosen girl, leaving you with a painful breakup after spending the entire game trusting each other. As it is treated as a Bad End, this is only a partial example.

* ''LegallyBlonde'': Inverted for Warner, where both Elle and Vivian dump ''him''.

* The Scheris/Mimori/Ryuhou love triangle in ''{{S-Cry-ed}}'' ends with Scheris dead and Ryuhou rejecting Mimori despite his implied attraction to her because he feels it wouldn't be right. Although he displayed no attraction to Scheris either, she died for him.

* The 1943 version of ''Film/PhantomOfTheOpera1943'' ends with Christine choosing neither of her love interests, Raoul and Anatole, and suggesting that the two of them become friends instead.

There are many ways for a romance arc to end. Sometimes there is a normal hookup, one or both die, or [[NoRomanticResolution the situation is left ambiguous]]. There are more options involved when in a love triangle, however. For example, apart from the previous scenarios the character may [[MarryThemAll pick several of their options at once]]. But sometimes they go the opposite direction and reject all of their options. As such, they DumpThemAll.

* The 1943 version of ''ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' ends with Christine choosing neither of her love interests, Raoul and Anatole, and suggesting that the two of them become friends instead. (The Phantom is Christine's father in this version, and not romantically interested in her, so he was never part of this equation to start with.)

* {{George Bernard Shaw}}'s play ''Mrs. Warren's Profession'' ends with Vivie turning down proposals from both her suitors. She chooses to devote her life to her career rather than marry.

* In the finale to the first season of ''{{Community}}'', Jeff is torn between Brita and Prof. Slater. He essentially chooses this option when he decides to leave as opposed to making any decisions. [[spoiler:He briefly dates to Brita in the premiere of season two but only so that people would stop hounding him about it. The "relationship" is over quickly, though.]]
