->Why not marry safe science if you love it so much?

A tendency for people to mock others for having certain hobbies or things they like. They imply that it's a bit more than just "like". They might imply the feeling is actually romantic, or more recently, sexual.

Say someone is talking about their stamp collection, and you get sick of it and say, "[[{{ptitle1yvo8o1a5ltl}} Why Don't You Marry It?]]" Or say, "You have a stamp fetish?"

Actually used more in RealLife and meta fiction than in actual fiction. Some fans make a crack about authors or characters doing things that aren't really {{Fetish}} or AuthorAppeal, but seem like it anyway.

Again, if it actually is a {{Fetish}} or AuthorAppeal, that would go in those tropes. And for the complete package, check out TropersDoItWithoutNotability.

Compare MarriedToTheJob, YouNeedToGetLaid. May lead to CargoShip.

!!Examples

[[AC:"Why don't you marry it?"]]
* ''Pee-Wee's Playhouse'' used the phrase occasionally, and finally Pee-Wee said, "Perhaps I will!"... to a bowl of fruit. The ceremony was lovely.
* Used in a flashback in ''WebOriginal/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''.
** Also, see Mako, who loved the ocean so much ''he actually married it''. And then divorced. And then they got back together.
* In ''{{Friends}}'', Phoebe gets wasted and mocks Ross for getting so many divorces. "You love divorce so much, you'll probably marry it! But that won't work out and you'll have to get a divorce as well."
* Our chief DeadpanSnarker in ''{{Portal}}'', GLaDOS, even stoops to this when the player is holding on of her fallen personality cores, as quoted above.
** Also, Cave Johnson, CEO of Aperture Science and complete lunatic on science:
--->"[[ScienceIsBad Science isn't about why, it's about why not. Why is so much of our science dangerous?]] Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out]], [[BadBoss because you are fired.]]
* There was a scene in ''FamilyGuy'' where after someone states Peter should marries a slice of blueberry pie, and then takes to ''make it the beneficiary of his life insurance''. He eats it in the time it takes to pull the necessary forms.
* In TransformersPrime Miko says this to Bulkhead when he asks how Arcee is.
* ''RenAndStimpy'' had an entire episode based on this. (It's a chicken from a grocery store, squick ensues.)
** And in one of the comic books it's a bag of kitty litter.
* [[{{ptitleolsdue4jfzga}} Tracy Jordan]] likes ''{{Halo}}'' so much, he wants to take it out behind the middle school and get it pregnant.
* On ''MonstersInc'' Mike Wazowski thinks he's so romantic he should just marry himself.
* From ''PushingDaisies'': "You love secrets. You want to marry secrets and have little half-human half-secrets babies."
* When Lisa becomes a vegetarian on ''TheSimpsons'', annoying twins Sherri and Terri ask her if she's going to marry a carrot. She sarcastically replies "Yes, I'm going to marry a carrot". The twins (whether intentionally or not) miss her sarcasm and giggle madly that she admitted it.
** In another episode, Homer becomes a minister and starts officiating gay marriages. When Lovejoy complains and cites the Bible, Homer says "WhyDontYouMarryIt" and then pronounces them man and wife- with Lovejoy as the wife.
* The ''spEak You're bRanes'' blog has the URL ''ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyougolivethere.com''. Comes from the overuse of this phrase in the [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/default.stm Have Your Say]] comments that the blog is dedicated to mocking ("If you like China so much, why don't you go live there?")
* [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marryjesus.jpg This sign]], which was made in response to a group of counter-protesting Christians at a pro-gay marriage protest in Washington DC.
** Rather ironic, since the Bible makes frequent comparisons of Jesus and the Church to a groom and bride...
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Katara once accused Toph of this towards Sokka.
* A late '90s commercial for Cap'n Crunch's Peanut Butter Crunch has a girl ask her older brother this question. "Maybe I will!" he responds, and imagines a montage of scenes of him being married to the cereal.
** And one from [=McDonalds=] involving an older sister, a younger brother, and Apple Dippers. Including the groom's family, which are apples.
** In the late '80s-early '90s, when AT&T first introduced 3-way calling to residential phone lines, a TV commercial for this feature showed a mom whose son and daughter had grown up and moved out of her home, and who couldn't decide which of her 2 kids she wanted to call more; when she called both of them, the daughter said, "I just ''love'' AT&T's new 3-way calling!", to which the son snarked, "Well why don'tcha marry it?"
* Doctor Cox on ''{{Scrubs}}'' used this aimed at himself for emphasis in one episode.
--> I love this moment so much I want to have sex with it.
--> This moment is so great, I'd cheat on that other moment from before, marry this one, and raise a family of tiny little moments.
* In the TV movie ''BlueWindow'' (based on Craig Lucas's play), a woman says, about what she's getting tipsy on, "I love this punch. I want to have a relationship with this punch."
* A variation in the film ''[[TheCourtJester The Court Jester]]'':
-->'''Roderick:''' I am king. If it pleases me, you shall marry Griswold.
-->'''Gwendolyn:''' If it pleases you so much, ''you'' marry Griswold.
* In an episode of ''ArrestedDevelopment'', George Sr. enjoys an ice cream sandwich whilst in prision. Later in the episode, Michael walks in on Lucille screaming into the phone: "Well, why don't you ''marry'' an ice cream sandwich?" As it turns out, [[SubvertedTrope she was talking to Gob.]]
* A version of this trope appeared on ''{{House}}'' when a gay man with HIV wanted House to diagnose him (thinking he had something else in addition to the HIV).
-->'''House''': Now let go of my cane before I make it your new boyfriend.
-->'''Kalvin''': Honey, I will marry it if you take my case.
-->'''House''': Congress says you can't, so...
* [[MazingerZ Mazinger's]] Kouji Kabuto has this thrown at him by his little brother after spending just a little too much time gushing over a new support unit for the Mazinger. Kouji's reply is along the lines of a not entirely sarcastic "maybe I will," much to the annoyance of [[{{Tsundere}} Sayaka]].
* ''SluggyFreelance'' occasionally uses this trope for [[http://ads.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=990327 Riff's love of hi-tech weaponry]].
* ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'''s Willow said this about Spike and Buffy once. Unfortunately, at the time, PowerIncontinence made it so [[LiteralGenie everything she said literally came true]]. Cue [[HilarityEnsues them spending the rest of the episode]] jumping between being SickeninglySweethearts and fighting over their marriage plans. This was before they got together in the series normally, so everyone was very disturbed.
* ''GilmoreGirls'': "I love my new digital camera, I wanna marry it."
* In ''HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'', after Percy gushes one too many times about his new boss, Ron comments, "They'll be announcing their engagement any day now."
** And in ''HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'', Ron makes a similar statement about the feelings of apparition instructor Wilkie Twycross regarding Hermione- "Oh, she was perfect, obviously. Perfect deliberation, divination, and desperation or whatever the hell it is - we all went for a quick drink in the Three Broomsticks after and you should've heard Twycross going on about her - I'll be surprised if he doesn't pop the question soon."
* From an ''{{iCarly}}'' episode: "I love this pie. I wanna be Mrs. Sam... This Pie."
* From ''SoulEater'', when [[CloudCuckoolander Marie Mjolnir]] complains to her straight-laced friend and fellow Death Scythe Yumi Azusa about having terrible luck with men in the ladies room, Yumi jokes that she should marry the toilet. Marie promptly commits and fantasizes about the wedding. Yumi however points out that toilets aren't exactly faithful, whereupon [[CrowningMomentofFunny Marie smashes the toilet in one blow]].
* Toyed with on ''VentureBros'' when Jonas Venture Jnr. reveals his [[WaveMotionGun secret weapon]]:
-->'''G-Man #1''': If that gun were a woman I'd marry it!"
-->'''G-Man #2''': If that gun were a woman I'd jeapordise our friendship by sleeping with your hot wife!
* Used so hilariously in the ''{{Animaniacs}}'' episode "Balony and Kids", a spoof on Barney and Kids.
-->'''Little Boy''': There's nothing better to do after school, than stay at school and play!
-->'''Little Girl''': I love school so much, I wish I could marry it!
-->*Little Boy eyes Little Girl with confusion*
* ''HaroldAndKumarGoToWhitecastle'': When Harold and Kumar are arrested and put into jail by racist, hick cops, Kumar spots a confiscated bag of weed and fantasizes going on a date with a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_ZlnWQbCeE giant anthropomorthized bag of weed]]. Then taking it on a date, having sex with it, marrying it, and ending up in an abusive domestic argument with it.
* ''HappyTreeFriends'' - A Sucker for Love Part Two. During Valentine's Day, Nutty the candy-obsessed squirrel eyes a box of chocolates sitting on display in the candy shop. Then almost the entire episode is introduced to Nutty's imagination, where he dates the box of chocolates, makes it breakfast, gets it pregnant and has a small box of chocolates as children. The sequence takes an even weirder turn when Nutty spots Lumpy the Moose (now a mailman) having an affair with the box of chocolates, and he becomes angry and jealous. Then the scene shifts to him in jail. He walks to the visiting area, where box of chocolates seemingly has a dent on its side (possibly from being beaten by Nutty in his rage from its affair with Lumpy). When He's finally released from jail, Nutty kisses the box of chocolates waiting for him. The scene finally cuts to Nutty and the box of chocolates, who are now old and on rocking chairs. The box of chocolates has a heart attack and dies. Before returning to reality, the elderly Nutty stands in the rain at the box of chocolate's grave. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZwV0kd6MwA.
** That's more of a case of CargoShip, since none of the other characters actually called Nutty out on it.
* In Shakespeare's ''AMidsummerNightsDream'', Hermia's father Egeus is trying to force her to marry Demetrius. Her lover Lysander tells Demetrius that if Egeus thinks he's so great, "Do you marry him!" making this OlderThanSteam.
* Comedian Mike Birbiglia plays with this in one joke; "I love pizza so much that I would marry it, but it would really just be an elaborate plot to ''eat her whole family'' at the reception."
* At the Rally to Restore Sanity:
-->'''Jon Stewart''': I do love America!
-->'''Stephen Colbert''': Then why don't you marry it?
-->'''Jon Stewart''': Stephen, that's what a fourth grader would say.
-->'''Stephen Colbert''': A fourth grader who LOVES AMERICA!
* Done recently in ''QuestionableContent'', after Marten visits a new coffee shop with Hannelore because it's too awkward to go back to [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom Coffee of Doom]] after his awkward breakup with Dora. Hannelore, of course, now works at CoD, and rather angrily invokes this trope as Marten proclaims his approval of the new place.
* ''SouthPark'' episode "200" suggests that Tim Burton should just marry Johnny Depp already.
* In a ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}!'' guest strip by [[SomethingPositive Randy Milholland]], when Ethan defends the Nightrunner character from recent ''{{Batman}}'' comics, a customer replies "Jesus! If you love him so much, go fag-marry French Batman." Ethan calmly replies "He's fictional, sir, and gay marriage isn't legal yet. But I've got something just as wonderful." Cut to Ethan's boyfriend, in costume, declaring "Je suis ... ''Batman''!"
* ''SaturdayNightLive'' had a sketch on the season 31 episode hosted by Alec Baldwin in which a little boy says he loves hot dogs. Another kid says, "If you love it so much, why doncha marry it?" Cut to 20, 30 years later, and the little boy becames a man (Baldwin) married to a hot dog with two half-human, half-hot dog kids (played by AmyPoehler and Andy Samberg).
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'': Raphael make use of this trope to Donatello when the latter wouldn't stop praising the mousers' robotics.

* ''{{lonelygirl15}}'' fans joke that Jonas Wharton has a bathtub fetish, seeing as there are so many scenes of him in the bath.
* In ''TheColbertReport'', one of "The Word" segments mentions all the horrible things in old classic fairy tales, and a lot of them involve feet, so the caption is "Brothers Grimm must have had a foot fetish."[[hottip:*:One of those tales is ''TheLittleMermaid'', which is not by the Brothers Grimm, but RuleOfFunny mattered there.]]
* Sapphire accuses Mao of this in regards to his [[MadScientist experiments]] in ''{{Disgaea 3}}''. You know you've got issues when the [[AxCrazy certified wackjob]] of the group calls you a perv.
** In ''{{Disgaea 2}}'', Rozalin regularly insists that Adell [[BloodKnight enjoys fighting]] just ''way'' too much for it not be a fetish.
* In ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'', an in-universe fan of the show comments that the 'writers' must have a fetish for people getting blown up. Oliver Dodd also accuses [[BigBad Danya]] of having some kind of fetish for seeing students getting carved up. Some characters enjoy violence a little ''too'' much...
