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''': ??? |
