1	'''Basic Trope''': An extremely convoluted and utterly confusing family tree.
2	* '''Straight''': Bob's step-uncle is his father too, and his grandma is younger than him.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Bob [[HomosexualReproduction has two fathers and no mother]], [[StableTimeLoop his son]] [[MyOwnGrampa is his grandfather]], there are [[Memes/DragonBall over nine thousand]] clones of Bob, and just about everybody's committed incest more than once.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Bob is the nephew of an uncle decades younger than him and his godmother is his step-mother.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** [[ReallyGetsAround Someone]] [[MassiveNumberedSiblings had multiple children]] along the line, causing the records to mess up.
7	** Bob's family is a bunch of {{Reality Warper}}s.
8	** One or more friends and family are time travelers and have had several years in the past and in the future, so it ends up being a mess.
9	* '''Inverted''':
10	** In a work where everybody's family is a {{Tangled Family Tree}}, Bob is the only one to have a normal family.
11	** SingleLineOfDescent.
12	* '''Subverted''':
13	** All the people claiming to be his family are mistaken, and he simply has the standard extended family...
14	** There is more than one Bob Tupper (one from a British family, another from a Hungarian family, yet another from a Norwegian family and perhaps more), only when you conflate them do you get a 'tangled family tree'.
15	* '''Double Subverted''': ...Who turn out to be incestuous [[DysfunctionJunction wrecks]] themselves.
16	* '''Parodied''': Bob's pet dog, cat, bird, and hamster turn out to his biological parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, daughters, sons, nephews, nieces, stepparents, godparents and his roommates.
17	* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob's step-uncle is his father.
18	* '''Averted''': Bob has a normal family tree.
19	* '''Enforced''': The creators set this up as conflict so their character Bob fix the problem.
20	* '''Lampshaded''': "Woah, Bob. That's a pretty tangled family you got there!"
21	* '''Invoked''': ???
22	* '''Exploited''': Betty claims to be Bob's OppositeSexClone from the future and Bob believes her because of how confusing his genealogy otherwise is.
23	* '''Defied''': ???
24	* '''Discussed''': ???
25	* '''Conversed''': ???
