So it's a character's birthday. They hoped that others would notice. They have known each other for quite a while, how could they forget? Oh wait, they did forget. Even if the birthday person reminded them, it's all for naught. It may take a bit for the companions to get over the guilt, while the birthday person is guaranteed not to take it well. Alternatively, the birthday person may be the forgetful one instead, usually either showing how selfless they are or that they never really celebrated their birthday before. Compare Doesn't Know Their Own Birthday for when they don't know their birthday in the first place, and Forgotten Anniversary for the wedding day variant. If the birthday wasn't truly forgotten after all, and the other characters threw a Surprise Party, it's a Not-So-Forgotten Birthday. If everyone knew about the birthday and it had been forgotten by the one who's celebrating it, then it's Forgot Their Own Birthday. Perennially Overshadowed Birthday is related, however the birthday need not be forgotten, just barely acknowledged or celebrated due to it sharing a date with an annual event or holiday. Can lead to a One-Person Birthday Party or Convenience Store Gift Shopping. The opposite of Celebration Miscalculation, which can cover when a birthday is celebrated, but on the wrong day. If they're not invited to someone else's party, it's Uninvited to the Party. |

In Wild Bill, the title character has been away in prison for eight years when he's forced to live with his two children (whose mother has abandoned them). One of his first days back happens to be the older son's sixteenth birthday, which he forgets; he tries to make up for it, but his choice of gift merely sets him off. | |

The brothers invoke this trope twice on Jonas. In "Groovy Movies", they forget their mother's birthday. In "Forgetting Stella's Birthday", they forget Stella's birthday because a band executive came to interview them that day. It gets even worse when they try to make up for it by throwing a Slumber Party at the same exact time as the executive came back to interview them again. |

That '70s Show: In "Kitty's Birthday (That's Today?!)", Red and Eric both forget Kitty's birthday until the very last minute, at which point they try to pass it off as a Not-So-Forgotten Birthday via Convenience Store Gift Shopping (which no, does not work). Hyde actually did remember and wished her a happy birthday, but didn't tell the others because "how would that be funny?" Ultimately they're forced to make it up to her by engaging in Kitty's most horrible hobby: square dancing. | |

The Simpsons: "Stark Raving Dad" takes place on Lisa's birthday and nobody remembers it. Bart is the only one Lisa complains about. It happens again in "Insane Clown Poppy", after Homer and Bart accidentally destroy Lisa's room. Another quick joke, this time with Homer in "The Springfield Files": Inverted in "Days of Wine and D'Ohses", Barney is upset with everyone at Moe's for not remembering his birthday. Turns out they actually threw a birthday party for him at Homer's place, but he got so drunk that he blacked out and couldn't remember any of it. This, plus the video footage of what he's like when he is that drunk caused him to try and sober up. According to "Mr. Lisa's Opus", the family forgot Lisa's seventh birthday, largely owing to Marge's exhaustion while dealing with a then-newborn Maggie, and their guilt didn't prevent them from likewise forgetting her eighth birthday (which, for the purposes of this episode, is the one we saw in "Stark Raving Dad"). They made a point of remembering and celebrating her birthdays ever since, and even made the song Bart wrote for her on her eighth birthday part of their tradition. "Life On The Fast Lane" begins with Homer having forgotten Marge's birthday, mistakenly thinking it was his birthday when the kids bring her breakfast in bed, and ends up getting her a bowling ball (which he intended to get for himself). |

Harry Potter has the Dursleys generally forget his birthday. In Chamber of Secrets, Dudley mocks Harry about it being his birthday and how his friends seem to have forgotten about it, since nothing has arrived for Harry in the (owl) post. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia do seem to have forgotten about it, or are ignoring it, as they are too focused on Vernon's boss coming over for dinner and hoping to make a good impression. | |

Forging a Better Future: In Dawn, Oliver admits that in the original timeline, he never once celebrated Laurel's birthday with her after he returned from the island. He's deeply ashamed of this. Later revelations, however, suggest that it actually wasn't his fault. Laurel herself is surprised to told that today is her birthday, which Oliver takes to mean that Quentin never once celebrated it during the five years Oliver was on the island. Depending on whether or not anyone else did, that's potentially eight years in a row it was forgotten before she died. |

American Dad! had an episode called "1600 Candles" in which Roger anticipates his 1600th birthday, only to have it preempted by Steve's shenanigans. Of course it has the obligatory Sixteen Candles scene. Of course, as usual, Roger was being a complete Jerkass about it, effectively telling Stan and Francine that they should give up on Steve completely just so they can throw him exactly the kind of party he wants. Karma ends up biting Roger in the end after he has Steve totally humiliated at the school dance, wherein Steve's single pubic hair comes loose and floats all the way back to the Smith house, landing on Roger's birthday cake and thus totally ruining his birthday. | |

A weird subversion in Overboard; Dean tells Joanna he's forgotten her birthday as a substitute confession. He was really about to tell her how she's actually an amnesiac heiress who he tricked into believing she's his wife, but he chickens out at the last second. | |

Bob's Burgers: In the premiere episode "Human Flesh", it is revealed that Bob has not only forgotten his wife's birthday, but his own. In "Are You There, Bob? It's Me, Birthday", Linda realizes she forgot Bob's birthday, and tricks him out of the house while trying to put together a belated birthday party. In a subversion of the usual mishaps, Bob's not that upset Linda didn't remember and is actually more unhappy knowing she's throwing him a surprise party because he hates parties. Hugo (who hates Bob for marrying Linda and was convinced to help Bob out of the house for the day) spitefully tries to guilt trip Bob into accepting the surprise party no matter how much he hates it. Bob returns home to find Linda scrapped the party after being reminded how much he hates them and instead arranges for Bob to have a relaxing evening and bought an antique bacon weight he really wanted. Oh, and Bob gets to see his rival Jimmy Pesto getting punched in the groin which makes this Bob's best birthday ever. |

In one Archie Comics story, Reggie Mantle's birthday is coming up. He overhears the gang wondering what to do for 'the most important man in town' and the egotistical Reggie assumes they're talking about him. Reggie nudges the gang into arranging a banquet at a fancy club...and it turns out that the gang was talking about an old war veteran who was born in Riverdale. And Reggie's the only one there who isn't in his golden years. | |

Malcolm in the Middle: In "Lois' Birthday," Hal does this to Lois because the alarm on his watch didn't go off. Since the boys had already bought candy with the money Lois gave them specifically for buying her a present, her husband's mistake is the final push for Lois to run away from home. In the first half of the "Baby" two-parter, Lois and Hal announce their plan to induce labor later that week. Dewey reacts negatively to this news, but doesn't say why. Later, at the wedding convention Hal and the boys go to, Dewey is able to successfully guilt-trip many members of the staff one by one to reveal the date his parents chose is his birthday and publicly shame Hal for forgetting. |

Stranger Things has an odd, meta example. In season two, a line reveals that Will's birthday is March 22. In season four, an episode is specifically set on March 22, but nobody, including Will himself, mentions it being his birthday. Imagining that this trope is in effect adds some interesting subtext, given that Will spends the day being a third wheel to Mike and El's date (which strong hints that Will is in love with Mike himself). However, Word of God says that this was completely unintentional, and that they might even alter the original reference to say that his birthday is May 22 instead. | |

Family Guy: In one episode Peter and Lois forget Meg's birthday. When Meg mentions wanting a party, they spend some time wondering what she wants a party for. They even consider that she's getting married, but cautiously dismiss it because they don't remember her bringing any guys around. It took Chris to remind them it's her birthday. They also completely forget what age she's turning when it's coming up. At one point, when they talk to her, they try using hints so they can learn her upcoming age without telling her outright. Unfortunately Meg is already aware of the whole thing, as is expected of the series Butt-Monkey. In another episode, there's a cutaway to Meg at her birthday party at a restaurant, where she's alone at a big table with a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEG" banner behind her. She asks a waiter for some more bread while she waits for everyone else to show up. The waiter tells her that she has eaten so much bread [while waiting] that they're going to have to start charging her for it. |
