When a family gets together in a Sitcom for a big family dinner, expect hilarity to ensue. Sometimes this is treated as just normal craziness that happens when everyone gets together. Frequently there's overlap with Dysfunctional Family, Obnoxious In-Laws, Parental Marriage Veto, and Big, Screwed-Up Family. There's usually someone who's outspoken and critical of other family members' lifestyle, choice of partner, job, etc. Sometimes, there's a Racist Grandma (or other relative) who likes to stir the pot, especially after one too many drinks, and who doesn't think that the rules of decorum apply to them. Occasionally, it's a relative announcing an engagement to someone the other family members don't like, or someone they haven't been seeing for very long. An unfortunate bit of Truth in Television, as any advice column published around the holidays can attest to, as relatives who can get along when they keep a respectful (hundred miles or more) distance from one another can end up uncomfortable with one another if they have to be in the same room, especially if the stress of major holidays and the social pressure to present a joyful facade reach a boiling point. note However, families who have a common sense of humor can amuse each other with the proverbial "show". We just don't hear about the families who get along with each other. Unless it's an absolute laugh riot. Not to be confused with At the Opera Tonight or Dinner Theater where people go to have dinner and watch a show. In this trope, they are part of the "show". This trope may be found in a Thanksgiving Episode, which will almost certainly revolve around a big dinner. |

Titus was fond of this trope as well: There was the episode where Titus' family and Erin's family came for Thanksgiving and wound up in the hospital, twice with his mother making dinner (one time drugging the entire family and trying to kill his dad, another with her psychiatrist fiancé showing up and making Titus and his dad upset), and once when Tommy was dating a woman who had slept with Titus - they went to her restaurant. Ken Titus even used the trope title as things got more and more awkward. | |

On Heroes, Thanksgiving dinner at the Bennet house starts with a massive argument and ends with Claire self-mutilating in order to demonstrate her Healing Factor, causing her mom's new boyfriend to pass out. Meanwhile, at the Petrelli house, they discuss how one of the brothers is actually dead, with his memories transferred into the body of a mindwiped shapeshifting psychopath. | |

Happened during Roseanne 's yearly Thanksgiving Episode. Some notable fights included Jackie and Bev fighting about Jackie's cop job, Nana Mary talking about her two abortions prior to having Bev, Jackie and Roseanne finding out about their father's decades of infidelity (though they wouldn't find out it had been decades until the following episode), and Bev coming out as a lesbian. Not that it's restricted to Thanksgiving, of course; one family dinner with Bev in attendance featured Roseanne throwing biscuits across the table and Darlene bragging about being groped by a male friend and more recently, Jackie getting in an argument with Darlene which results in the latter getting slapped in the face. | |

A darker than usual example in Alice Adams, when Arthur comes over to the Adamses for dinner. Social Climber Alice is desperate to pass herself and her family off as rich sophisticates, but it all goes to hell. It's far too hot, especially for the heavy dinner that the Adamses have prepared—the soup makes everyone more sweaty, and the ice cream is melted. Malena's half-assed attitude is expressed in her cap continually falling over her face. Virgil acts like the coarse factory worker he is rather than the successful businessman Alice wants him to pretend to be. Virgil accidentally exposes Alice's lie that he has two secretaries. It gets more and more uncomfortable until Arthur finally leaves. | |

Subverted with Amy’s birthday dinner in Melody if Arnold is present. Amy invites the protagonist, Melody, and Arnold to celebrate with her, and the two women make some unintentional double entendres while looking over the menu. It makes Arnold so uncomfortable that he storms off to the bar. However, the protagonist has a man-to-man talk with Arnold, he comes back, and the actual dinner is pleasant and peaceful. | |

AJ's Annual Party from Naked Lunch. The party involves a live sex show (with possibly-simulated hangings), an orgy, and AJ decapitating a group of party-crashers while singing "Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest". Another instance in Hassan Salvador O'Leary's backstory, where he drove a herd of wild boars through a fancy restaurant and they ate the chef. |

One Saturday Night Live sketch was an advertisement for the greatest hits of dysfunctional family holiday dinners (for those who can't make it home this year). Each one ended with the father (Will Ferrell) yelling "*BLEEP* this, I'm leaving!" and flipping his dinner plate into the air. What really made this funny was that Ferrell's plate flips just got harder every time until the last one where he practically launches it across the table. | |

In Encanto, the magical Madrigal household holds a dinner so Mariano Guzman can officially propose to Isabela Madrigal with both his mother's and Abuela Madrigal's blessing. Mirabel, unfortunately, lets it slip that she has been prophesied by her estranged uncle Bruno to eventually cause the downfall of their household and her cousin Dolores finds out and struggles to keep her mouth shut. The dinner leads to the family members all whispering about it to each other, with each response getting more and more dramatic and distracting from the actual proposal, until aunt Pepa finds out and unleashes a thunderstorm indoors. Meanwhile, a bunch of rats are stealing the pieces of the prophecy from Mirabel and piecing them together before showing them to her Abuela. Also, Mirabel's older sister Luisa spends the whole dinner sobbing because she's losing her strength. It all gets worse from there. | |

Doug: Judy (at the insistence of Mrs. Funnie) brought her new boyfriend Kyle home for dinner. She was reluctant to do so because she viewed her family as being boring, so she staged a performance where her parents were a writer and an anthropologist, and Doug was a butler. Doug was upset at this, so he tried to spice things up by being a secret agent instead. Kyle tells Judy that he would have accepted her family, no matter how "uncool" they were, and that she didn't have to put on a show for him. Afterwards, Kyle is never seen again, implying that he and Judy broke up (whether because of the antics of this particular evening, or for another reason.) | |

When the Leonides family sits down to dinner with Charles in Crooked House, it isn't long before the family's dirty laundry starts being aired: with accusations of everything from murder to Communism. | |

One of the defining characteristics of the Crane family from Frasier, although usually some guests are involved as well. Recounting every time the family has thrown a disastrous dinner that descended into blood, tears, and chaos by the third act would take up half the page, but special mention should go to the time it was heavily Lampshaded in "Daphne Does Dinner", which featured a bizarre, Noodle Implements-filled opening scene, and in which Daphne's Epic Fail at her first lavish dinner since marrying Niles causes Frasier to proclaim that she is now "officially a Crane." | |

In The Doors by Oliver Stone, we get a good one, complete with infidelity, LSD, celebrities, and a curb-stomped duck. | |

Brothers & Sisters, where Walker family dinners inevitably result in an argument. The only reason they're not the the page image is because deciding which dinner to use is a Herculean effort. They've started Lampshade Hanging it, especially Robert McAllister: | |

Downton Abbey: "Upstairs" meals are often the scene of some dramatic event or other—generally understated when guests are there, but Robert's private breakfasts with his daughters can involve a bit of overt shock (and they do much to shock him). "Downstairs" meals in the servants' hall can also be the site of much tension, which is inevitably broken abruptly by Carson or Mrs Hughes saying, "Back to work". | |
