Basically, it\'s where a couple\'s popularity transcends its fandom, to the point where even those who don\'t follow the show might be familiar with them. For example, you didn\'t need to be a {{Friends}} fan to know about Ross and Rachel or a [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]] fan to know about her and Angel. In the more extreme cases, you get couples like Jim and Pam where any big change in their relationship (like their wedding) is a huge TV event. With the example I added - Naomi and Emily from \'\'Skins\'\' - it\'s because they have become such huge icons for LGBT and specifically lesbian visibility, and there\'s even a book coming out soon about the effects of the \

Addressing the tropes you mentioned: A Super Couple is usually the OfficialCouple, but the vast majority of Official Couples are not Super Couples (for an example, see the above discussion re: Finn/Rachel from \\\'\\\'Glee\\\'\\\' and why they don\\\'t qualify for the trope). They\\\'re almost never the BetaCouple. As for TheyDo, it\\\'s a good test for this trope but it\\\'s still not the same trope. (The anticipation for and reaction to TheyDo moments can tell you whether you\\\'re dealing with a true SuperCouple, as opposed to just a particularly popular couple within the fandom.)
