** Both COs of the unit had their hobbies: Lt. Colonel Henry Blake was so fond of fishing that he was often wearing a fisherman's hat even while on duty. While Colonel Potter was far more serious about his job, his love of horses is present throughout his time in the series (to the point that Radar gifting him a horse moved him to tears). He's also shown in some episodes to be a talented artist and bridge player.

Fishing is not an example; catching a Pokémon is an important part of the heroes' job to thwart evil.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', Peter has numerous things to be responsible for (maintaining straight As at school, interning at ESU (at least, in season 2), his job as a photographer for the Bugle, his social life, and, of course, his crime-fighting). However, there are times throughout the series where he's able to take some time to simply enjoy himself (i.e. trying out for football, going to the school dance with MJ, having fun at Coney Island with Liz Allan, going ice skating, etc). Due to his [[BornUnlucky usual luck]], however, these moments are usually interrupted or ended courtesy of the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Villain of the Week]].

* ''Fanfic/NewStars'': To help Maxx feel a little more at home on board the ''Orville'', Gordon and John watch the film ''Film/ForrestGump'' with him. Before that, Gordon, John, Talla, and Isaac all had lunch together (although the conversation of said lunch was mostly business-related).

So, in Chapter 11 and 12, they all take a night off: Go-Go takes Honey Lemon, Violet, and Susan to a club, Riley, Tip and Baymax have a sleepover, and the guys spend the night playing video games.

* ''Fanfic/TheDragonAndTheButterfly'': As both a show of peace (and an attempt to get Hiccup to come to Berk and defeat the Red Death with Toothless), Fishlegs and Astrid take a tour of the Encanto with Mirabel, Hiccup and Toothless as their guides. The whole chapter is more or less this trope, with the four teens and dragon exploring the beautiful valley, eating ice cream, and [[SeinfeldianConversation debating whether or not a palm tree should be considered a mammal]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?", Dick is shown spending time in the Batcave playing a popular computer game. In this case, the game is actually relevant to the plot.



* A recurring staple in ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' stories is the brothers just goofing off and having fun being crashed by villain interference. In fact, their first encounter with [[TimeTravel Renet]] is often sparked by her viewing multiple timelines and noticing the turtles having a water balloon fight on a rooftop and deciding it would be fun to drop in.

* This happens almost once per episode on ''Series/TheOrville''. No matter the episode, there's always at least one scene of characters either sharing a meal/bottle of alcohol, watching a movie, listening to music, or doing something silly/relaxing. The WhamEpisode "Domino" has two scenes featuring the main cast with their partners and kids spending a night in a rustic cabin in the woods.
* ''Series/M*A*S*H'': Despite being in the middle of a war, many characters had hobbies that they worked on when not in the OR:
** Hawkeye and Trapper (later BJ) often played pranks on Frank (later Charles) and/or flirted with nurses (though BJ didn't do this).
** Klinger (when trying to get his Section 8) dedicated much of his free time to designing and making dresses to wear (and engaged in other feminine hobbies to further convince the Army that he should be sent home). When he started taking his job more seriously, he began coming up with get-rich-quick schemes.
** Charles was a known music-lover, and often listened to orchestral pieces on his record player that he found invigorating (though everyone else found them ridiculously boring). He also tried to play the French horn, but his playing was so bad that Hawkeye and BJ went on a days-long bathing strike to try and get him to stop.
** Both COs of the unit had their hobbies: Lt. Colonel Henry Blake was so fond of fishing that he was often wearing a fisherman's hat even while on duty. While Colonel Potter was far more serious about his job, his love of horses is present throughout his time in the series (to the point that Radar gifting him a horse moved him to tears).

Added DiffLines:

* ''Webcomic/BatmanWayneFamilyAdventures'': This trope is the center of this comic, often showing what the Bat kids do when they aren't defending Gotham or at work/school. Memorable issues include Tim and Damian's prank war, Bat-Cow taking an unauthorized tour through the manor, the kids having a video game tournament (with the loser having to wear Dick's embarrassing old costume), and their love lives.


Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan'': As this series features several teenage superheroes (including the titular one), there are many scenes of Peter Parker hanging out with his friends and teammates (though a villain usually gets in the way). One episode even ends with Spider-Man convincing Nick Fury to play chess (it ends as well as you think).
