He complained a few times in the first season about his marriage and family (hence the title) but it wasn't until the episode "Al Loses His Cherry" that his life turned into a series of temptations to cheat on Peg with hot, willing, chesty bimbos who were played by Playboy Bunnies. The episode was meant to be a one-off, but it began to happen so often that you wondered what sort of brain injuries made these women want the schlubby, balding Al. This was also portrayed as part of the Bundy Curse; he would forever be reminded of what he was missing out on by marrying Peg, even though he didn't have the strength to actually break his marriage vows. One episode (how's this for reality) had a past lover of Al's return...wanting to ''buy Al as her personal sex slave''! A final note about Al; he worked as a shoe salesman, and was shown to be poor at it. Poor salesmen earn very little, and he was the only breadwinner in the house, and yet not only did he own the home, but it was a fairly large, spacious home, and their lack of money was often blamed on Peg and the kids demanding it from him for their own selfish purposes (as the opening credits depicted). He shouldn't have had nearly enough money to hand out to them all.

She had a lot of boyfriends, but we never actually saw most of them, nor was there any hint of her friends), being [[ReallyGetsAround the school slut]]. She did poorly in school, but mostly out of indifference rather than a lack of brain power, and her typical outfit was jeans and a t-shirt, with the first season's finale being the first time we saw what would become her normal fashion sense, and in that episode she was going to a party. The second season was when her outfits started to get gradually more revealing, an early episode implied she had just come back from having sex, one of her friends was apparently pregnant, and late in the season, she fell for an obvious prank from Bud (and a second similar one), and it was that moment that the Kelly we all remember was born; a blonde bimbo with only occasional GeniusDitz moments, who dressed like a [[{{Stripperiffic}} stripper]] and had a long list of lovers, including many of her friends' boyfriends, fathers and other grown, married men, most of them utter scumbags that Al took great pleasure in throwing out of the house. She was dumb enough to fall for the stupidest pranks, and who seemed to be also increasingly portrayed as some sort of sex goddess whose goddess; her mere presence would cause people to give in to their lusts (a dance arouse the men around her and when she performed at a dance in her school auditorium, it caused an orgy.

The [[Film/FridayThe13thPart2 second film]] reveals that the son in question, Jason Voorhees, was [[{{Retcon}} actually still alive]] and had been living as a hermit in the woods the whole time, and he takes up his mother's machete and stalks the camp for three movies. A little over-the-top, but not outside the realm of possibility. But then he keeps getting harder to kill to the point where an ''axe to the skull'' only temporarily slows him down. After he was KilledOffForReal at the end of the [[Film/FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter fourth film]], the [[Film/FridayThe13thPartVANewBeginning fifth]] tried to go back to realism [[spoiler:by having a JackTheRipoff of Jason as the villain]], but that proved so unpopular that the [[Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives sixth film]] brought Jason BackFromTheDead as a RevenantZombie, the first of many supernatural or sci-fi gimmicks that later film would employ.

* "Alive" by Music/PearlJam is part of a musical trilogy that continues with "Once" and concludes with "Footsteps" [[note]]The first two appeared out of sequence on the band's debut, while "Footsteps" was released as a b-side.[[/note]]. "Alive" begins with the narrator's mother telling him that the man he believed to be his father is in fact not, and that his real father has been dead for some time, which actually happened to Eddie Vedder. The song departs from real life after that when he grows up to be the spitting image of his father and is molested by his mother. "Once" sees the now mentally disturbed narrator become a spree shooter, and in "Footsteps", he contemplates his life choices while awaiting execution.

* As documented by Website/PlatypusComix in [[http://www.platypuscomix.com/otherpeople/safehavens.html this article]], ''ComicStrip/SafeHavens'' started out as a relatively grounded strip about the antics of a group of preschoolers at the eponymous daycare center, where the kids acted WiseBeyondTheirYears and Roger was forever hiding inside a box but things stayed fairly within the realm of reality, even as the comic strip eventually broke ComicBookTime and allowed the children to age. The tipping point came in 1998 when Samantha met a mermaid on the beach, and from that point out the comic changed from a relatively realistic slice-of-life comic to a fantasy comic involving characters being able to shapeshift into merpeople and animals, animals and humans being able talk to each other, Samantha communicating with her late grandmother through a mirror and her time-travelling grandchild from the future...all of which started with a bunch of preschoolers in a daycare saying and doing precocious things.
