* Chapter 6 of ''Webcomic/DatingATeamMagmaGrunt'' has the titular Magma Grunt meeting Brendan's parents (it was entirely unplanned, Norman just happened to be passing by when the two of them were on a date and invited her over for dinner). Despite the very obvious age gap, his parents approve.
* It's mentioned in passing in ''FanFic/IAmNOTGoingThroughPubertyAgain'' that it was a lot less awkward and confusing [[PeggySue the second time]] that Sakura introduced her teammate-turned-enemy-turned-teammate-turned-boyfriend-turned-husband-turned-teammate-turned-boyfriend Sasuke to her parents.
* ''Fanfic/TheWrongReflection'''s first chapter has Eleya introduce her operations officer-slash-boyfriend Gaarra to her family while attending her sister's wedding. Her parents are mildly annoyed that Eleya ''isn't'' planning to marry Gaarra anytime soon (it's because they're already in violation of fraternization rules as a [[TheCaptain commanding officer]] loving one of her senior staff).

* ''Film/GuessWhosComingToDinner'': A white woman brings home her black fiancee to meet her parents. His parents later show up as well. The film came out in 1967 when it was a very controversial subject.

* The first half of ''[[Literature/VorkosiganSaga Captain Vorpatril's Alliance]]'' was largely about Tej meeting Ivan's family, starting with disreputable cousin Byerly and ending with Ivan's stepbrother, Emperor Gregor. [[spoiler:The second half was largely about Ivan meeting Tej's family, after they turned out not to be dead after all.]]
* In ''[[ComicBook/XWingSeries X-Wing: The Bacta War]]'', Corran Horn is introduced to girlfriend Mirax Terrik's father Booster when they inadvertently run into each other on Tatooine while the Rogues are trying to get supplies to go to war with Ysanne Isard. Booster is understandably furious that his daughter is dating the son of the man who once put him in prison (he later accepts them getting married but never really warms up to Corran).

* ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'':
** Leslie hosts a party to celebrate her and Ben getting engaged. Things go swimmingly at first... until Ben's divorced parents (plus his dad's new wife, who also happens to be the mother of his future half-brother) show up. Things get tense at many points throughout the episode, forcing the duo to put their foot down and demand that they put their differences aside until the weather is over. Later in that series, the duo just decide to get married spontaneously, citing the absence of their parents as a plus.
** This happens when Andy meets April's parents at their wedding, although things go surprisingly well and the drama's more or less non-existent.
* ''Series/{{Soap}}'': Danny brings home his fiancees to meet his parents twice; both times it went badly. The first time he was engaged to TheDon's bratty daughter and they hated each other. The second time she was black (Danny and his parents are white) and much tension ensued. When her parents came over to meet the Campbells the mothers agreed that it was a horrible idea for the two of them to get married, and ultimately Polly (the fiancee in question) broke it off with Danny.

* There was a story arc in ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'' where Larisa went over to dinner at Landon's place for the first time. Landon's religious mother was convinced that she was either a witch or a succubus destined to give birth to the Anti-Christ. On the other hand, his father got along with her perfectly. [[spoiler: Fortunately, his mother isn't an issue anymore since they got divorced and the father has custody.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek 2}}'' is about Shrek meeting Fiona's parents who aren't very happy about their daughter marrying an ogre.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': When Kanan meets the father of Hera, his [[ImpliedLoveInterest maybe/maybe not wife]], he's so nervous he mixes up the names of his own crew members. They quickly hit it off... which causes friction between Kanan and Hera, since Hera still hates her father.

A tense moment in any relationship is the moment of meeting your future in laws, or introducing your love interest to your parents for the first time as the opinions of parents are powerful things. Everyone wants to make a good first impression in the face of possible disapproval and for this reason can be played for laughs or drama.

* We get a flashback in chapter 7 of ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying'' to when Hajime met Kaoru's father. It went surprisingly well despite Hajime being a hardcore otaku, although Kaoru get's a ThousandYardStare when she remembers it due to how embarrassing it was for her.
