Your parents' True Companions, though not actually related by blood or marriage, are your uncles and aunts. Conversely, if you're very young, your True Companions' uncles and aunts are likely to be yours as well, through contagion, and their parents may be uncle and aunt to you. Actual blood relatives don't count, even if they're second-cousins-three-times-removed or some such distant relationship merely simplified to "uncle/aunt". It goes without saying that they're all guaranteed to qualify for Cool Uncle (or Creepy Uncle) status. This trope is used only in the context of a stronger relationship; as a rule, it would not be surprising to discover that an Honorary Uncle was named as the guardian, if something happened to the parents. This trope does not cover cultures where all older adults are addressed as "Uncle" or "Aunt" — only those with special relationships. In a Babies Ever After ending, the unmatched characters may fall into this role, so they have a place in the Happy Ending. A frequently sardonic invocation is for a character to be referred to, or refer to himself, as "Uncle" to indicate a friendly relationship that nevertheless has elements of authority. |

One pivotal scene in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society shows Batou and the Major are the honorary Uncle and Aunt to Togusa's daughter. While investigating the Big Bad behind a series of murders and child kidnappings, Togusa is brain-hacked into taking his daughter to where they want him to. As he fights to keep control of his own body, he tells his daughter to run, as he's about to blow his own brains out. Batou's been following them, hears the gun shot, thinks he's too late, and gives the girl a hug to comfort her. Then, the see The Major (in thermoptic camo) pulled the gun away from Togusa's head at the last second. She turns visible again as she lays the semiconscious Togusa on the floor and smiles at Batou and the girl. Togusa's daughter's behavior around both Batou and The Major suggests she not only met both of them before, but also trusts them. | |

Over the Garden Wall has Auntie Whispers and Lorna; just the two of them live together and Lorna says Auntie Whispers isn't her actual aunt. Subverted because Auntie Whispers keeps Lorna in servitude through Mind Control, and Wirt actually seems to take them not being related as confirmation that Auntie Whispers just wants a slave. Double Subverted because Lorna is a victim of Demonic Possession, and Auntie Whispers is using Brainwashing for the Greater Good. Played straight after the demon is dealt with and Lorna chooses to stay with Auntie Whispers completely of her own free will. | |

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Amanda Rollins is this to Olivia Benson's adopted son Noah, and specifically referred to this way in "Chasing Demons." In "Gone Baby Gone", Dominick "Sonny" Carisi and Rafael Barba are referred to as Noah's Uncle Sonny (by Olivia) and Uncle Rafa (by Noah himself). Carisi is also "Uncle Sonny" for Rollins' daughters, but skews much closer to Parental Substitute than Honorary Uncle, particularly after the season 22 finale. In an early episode, Elliot Stabler refers to John Munch as "Uncle Munchie" while talking to two of his kids. In a non-main character example, a few episodes have a child victim with a family friend they call "Aunt" or "Uncle" who ends up being important to the story in some way. |

Boruto: Chocho calls Temari "Aunt Temari". Chocho's teammate Shikadai is Temari's son. Subverted with Boruto and Sarada. Despite possibly being Childhood Friends and their parents being True Companions, they don't refer to each others parents this way, Sarada refers to Naruto as "Seventh Hokage" and Boruto addresses Sasuke formally as "Sasuke-san". Boruto only refers to Sakura once as "Aunt Sakura" and Chouji as "Uncle Chouji". Himawari begins calling Kiba "Uncle" after meeting him in episode 93. |

Story of Seasons: In the games that feature Popuri as a character, the local kids tend to call her "Auntie Popuri". Of course, Popuri insists she's too young to be called anyone's "Auntie". In More Friends of Mineral Town, if you marry Rick, she will even insist that your daughter—who would be her biological niece—not call her Auntie because she doesn't want to feel old. During her Blue Heart Event in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, Karen refers to the family friend Duke as "Uncle Duke". |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: The Champions' Ballad DLC makes clear that Urbosa was one for Zelda, something that was only lightly hinted in the base game. Urbosa was a longtime friend of Zelda's mother, and after the latter's untimely death, the former made a point of looking after Zelda whenever the princess visited the Gerudo region. Urbosa's diary and the flashback to her recruitment make clear that she acted as The Confidant to Zelda and also appropriated the Queen's Affectionate Nickname of "little bird" for her. A scene in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity DLC further hammers the point in. | |

In The Belgariad, Garion always called Polgara "Aunt Pol" growing up. Technically, she's his infinite-great-aunt, but it still applies. He still does in informal situations in the Mallorean; Ce'Nedra (his wife) uses the name for her at one point near the end, a sign of how their relationship has changed. In turn, Polgara refers to the sorcerer Beldin (who helped raise her) as "Uncle Beldin" — when she isn't flinging (well-returned) insults at him. In one of the prequels, Polgara comments that most little boys she meets call her "Aunt Pol". Granted, a good number of them are her great-nephews (Garion's ancestors). |

As with almost all tropes, this one was parodied by The Simpsons. When Moe and Marge are leaving for a convention, Bart asks, "Where're Mom and Uncle Moe going?" As Homer was worried they were having an "emotional affair", he replies, "He's only your emotional uncle, I'm your REAL uncle!" Rod and Todd Flanders have been known to call Homer "Uncle Homer," which he's cheerfully accepted despite his complicated relationship with their dad. In the Whole Episode Flashback "Fland Canyon," an eight-year-old Bart calls Ned "Uncle Ned" in turn, to Homer's chagrin. |

Joey from Full House is the childhood best friend of Danny Tanner. Despite not being related to the family, he acts as an uncle to the kids of the house. Joey usually handles the day-to-day raising of the kids by doing chores like making meals, driving the kids to school, appointments, and after-school activities, taking care of Michelle as a baby, and helping the kids with their homework. Danny's daughters only call him "Uncle Joey" a few times in early episodes; the exact nature of his position in the household is discussed in one first-season episode in which he attempts to discipline DJ, who resents it. He also becomes their Uncle Jesse's best friend, and Jesse insists that his children call Joey "Uncle Joey" as a sign of respect. | |

In the sequel to the video game, pretty much every character calls him "Uncle Scrooge" — even Launchpad McQuack and Gyro Gearloose. Launchpad also called him that in the first game, but only in the beta before the mistake was fixed. (Presumably, the sequel wasn't beta tested.) | |

In Stardew Valley, Jas will start to call you "Aunt/Uncle [Hello, [Insert Name Here]]" if you increase your friendship level with her enough. There's also Marnie, who isn't actually Jas's aunt, but the aunt to Jas's legal guardian Shane. Despite this, Jas refers to her exclusively as "Aunt Marnie". Vincent also uses "Aunt/Uncle [Hello, [Insert Name Here]]" at higher friendship levels. After persuading Leo to move to the Valley and begin reintegrating with human society, he takes to Linus as a family figure and eventually calls him "Uncle". |

In Fullmetal Alchemist, Ed and Al refer to the Doctors Rockbell, Urey and Sara, as "Aunt and Uncle Rockbell." They're not related to the Elrics in any way, but since they are Winry's parents, they are still close. They also refer to Pinako Rockbell (Urey's mother) as "Granny"; she's an old friend of their father's, and the closest thing the boys have ever had to a grandmother of their own. | |

In Guilty Gear, Sol Badguy is the long-time on-off friend and rival to Ky Kiske. In Overture, Ky's son Sin refers to Sol as "Oyaji" in the Japanese dub and "old man" or "pops" in the English dub, and prefers Sol as a Cynical Mentor over his father Ky. Sin is care-free, informal and occasionally foul-mouthed, much like Sol and in stark contrast to his prim-and-proper Knight in Shining Armor father, but because Sol half-asses everything, it's had a hugely detrimental effect on Sin's intelligence. Subverted after it was revealed that Ky's wife and Sin's mother, Dizzy, is actually Sol's daughter, which would mean that Sol actually has a grandson in Sin. | |

The Bernie Mac Show exemplifies the sardonic take on this trope. Bernie and his wife Wanda take in his blood nieces and nephews when his sister goes into rehab; he's their blood uncle. However, he invokes his having taken on the role of surrogate parent, adapting the fifth commandment in order to demand respect and obedience from the children "(Honor thy mother and thy father... figure."). One segment of the pilot episode is even called "Uncle Daddy". | |

Discworld: Although Esmerelda Weatherwax is often called "Granny Weatherwax", there's something more significant about Tiffany Aching being told she can refer to her by that title in A Hat Full of Sky (especially since one of the themes of The Wee Free Men was the loss of her actual Granny Aching). Not that having Esme as an Honorary Grandmother is easy... The "character refers to self as 'uncle' to indicate a friendly relationship that nevertheless has elements of authority" variation appears in Monstrous Regiment, since Mal is wiser and (probably, being a vampire) older than the rest of The Squad: "Here's a happy little dream from your Uncle Maladict..." Mal also addresses a squadmate as "kid". |

Sherlock says that he'll accept "Detective," but Joan doesn't like that. Sherlock playfully replies that "Uncle Detective" would also do. Also invoked at the precinct. Joan's son Arthur calls Marcus "Captain Bell", but Marcus keeps telling him to call him "Uncle Marcus" instead. In season five Kitty Winter returns from England with her baby son in tow. Kitty quickly refers to Joan as "Aunty Watson", which Joan happily accepts. |

Like in the comics, Gladstone Gander also calls him "Uncle" even though they're only distantly related by marriage (Scrooge's sister was married to Gladstone's mother's brother). In the sequel to the video game, pretty much every character calls him "Uncle Scrooge" — even Launchpad McQuack and Gyro Gearloose. Launchpad also called him that in the first game, but only in the beta before the mistake was fixed. (Presumably, the sequel wasn't beta tested.) In the 2017 reboot, Huey, Dewey, and Louie call their uncle's (and mother's) first cousin "Uncle Gladstone" for the first time (in all previous American material, he was always "Cousin Gladstone" to them). For the record, he's Donald's cousin, and therefore would properly be the triplets' cousin-once-removed. Fethry is also Donald's cousin, but is saddled with "Cousin Fethry" because of his more Manchild tendencies. The reboot also shows Donald's cousins Gladstone and Fethry addressing Scrooge as their uncle, despite being Donald's paternal cousins and therefore technically unrelated to Scrooge (whose sister was Donald's mother). All of this gets lampshaded in the Season 1 finale when Scrooge's Arch-Enemy Magica De Spell has her niece Lena befriend Webby in order to infiltrate Scrooge's family so she can release her from imprisonment in Scrooge's #1 Dime. Like the original series, Scrooge allows Webby to call him Uncle Scrooge. When, in the Grand Finale, Webby finds out she's Scrooge's Opposite-Sex Clone, she upgrades him to 'Dad'. He's pretty elated about it. |

The Order of the Stick: In Start of Darkness, Roy is surprised to hear about his father's real history with an uncle who was actually a former fellow adventurer. Nale asks "'Aunt' Laurin" to read his mind to confirm what he said. Whether he used it non-sarcastically as a child is not indicated. Even more sardonically, Xykon calls himself "Uncle Xykon" while lecturing V. Flashbacks to Durkon's childhood and cleric training (which he shows to "Durkula" while the vampire spirit is absorbing his memories) show him with three honorary uncles and two honorary aunts, all close friends of his mother. It eventually transpires that, years before, they were complete strangers who were killed in a mining accident, and she paid for their resurrection just because she could. |

In Heidi, Heidi's grandfather is called "Uncle" by the villagers; this is later picked up by Heidi's friends from the city, too. Heidi's Aunt Dete (her actual mother's actual sister) said her family started it because they knew he was a distant relation of theirs, but couldn't quite recall what it was and wanted to be friendly to him; this was before Adelheid, Heidi's mother, married his son and had Heidi. He's often referred to as "the Alm-Uncle." | |

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, at the conclusion of Sanguine's quest chain, the daedric prince cheerfully refers to himself as "your old Uncle Sanguine." It's sort of a mix between this trope and the metaphorical truth; Sanguine being one of the Daedra, he is something like a half-brother to the Divines (Aedra). These include Akatosh, the god of time, who is the one who gave the Dragonborn their draconic soul and is therefore their "father." | |

In My Monster Secret, multiple Grandkids from the Future join the cast in the series' second half, further complicating the Love Dodecahedron. In one chapter, Yuka refers to both Asahi as "Grandpa" and Shiho as "Grandmother". Shiho is distraught since Asahi is dating Youko and she can't believe she'd ever do something as despicable as stealing her best friend's boyfriend. Thankfully, Yuka quickly clarifies that Asahi is simply an Honorary Grandfather to the younger members of La Résistance, and that they're not actually blood relatives. | |

InCryptid: The Price-Healy family have many honorary aunts and uncles: Mary Dunlavy, a teenage ghost girl who's served as the family babysitter for three generations. Some of the Aeslin mice even call her the Phantom Priestess, indicating they see her as a full member of the family. Rose Marshall, another ghost girl, is also called "Aunt Rose". Mike Gucciard, whose family have been friends with the Price-Healys since the 1930s, is an "uncle" Verity calls for help when the rest of her family is on the other side of the country. He even has an Aeslin title, the High Priest of Goddammit Eat Something Already.note Which is unusual, as in the Aeslin belief system, Price-Healy females are priestesses and males are gods. Priests are usually mice themselves. Big Al, a jink living in Las Vegas, is another honorary uncle, and is present for Verity and Dominic's Vegas wedding. Fran grew up in the Campbell Family Circus (later Carnival), and her best friend Juniper Campbell is called her "sister in all but blood". She later becomes an honorary aunt for Alice, and after Fran dies, Juniper's daughter Laura is like a cousin to her (and an aunt to her children and grandchildren). After seeing how his father treats him, Annie decides their odd neighbor James is coming home as an honorary sibling. After spending 7 years Trapped in Another World together, Thomas seems to see Sally as a surrogate daughter. |

Davan and PeeJee are this to Aubrey and Jason's adopted daughter Pamela in Something*Positive. Davan, meanwhile, is the honorary father of Rory, the son of his old friend Donna. At first it was believed that he might be the boy's biological father, since he and Donna had a one-night stand; testing confirmed that it was an unnamed and never-seen character, who has no interest in being a parent and lives in another state. Davan stepped up and became Rory's dad, with Rory even calling him that. It's implied that Davan has even been made his father legally, since Rory's school will sometimes contact him if they can't reach Donna. As a result, Rory also calls Davan's father Fred his grandfather. |

The exception being Mal and Marshal's father, Corbin Underwood, (who was estranged when alive) and in Marshal's case, Amira, who started out as an Honorary Aunt but became his stepmother, even calling her Mom after she marries Corbin. Ernest frequently refers to Roz and Mal's moms as "the Aunties" and when Zip first met Mal, she heard him talking to Ernest's dad and calling him "Uncle John."

Archer: Archer has referred to Pam, who he's also called his best friend, as being aunt to his and Lana's infant daughter. In season 13, A.J. (now a pre-teen) refuses to refer to her as "Aunt Pam" as a way of establishing her boundaries. After a day of bonding, A.J. finally calls her "Aunt Pammy". | |

While My Pretty One Sleeps: Anthony della Salva is known as "Uncle Sal" to Neeve Kearny; he's been one of her father's best friends since childhood and has known Neeve all her life. Sal took Neeve under his wing after her mother died, nurturing her interest in fashion and encouraging her to open her own boutique when she graduated, even loaning her the down payment for the store. She is very fond of him, visiting him at his office for weekly catch-ups and getting advice from him, while he dotes upon her. This makes it especially shocking and heartbreaking for Neeve when she goes to him for help out of fear of her life, only to realise that he's the one who put a hit on her and killed her mother. | |

In Mass Effect 2, Tali considers Shala'Raan, a quarian admiral who was a friend of both her parents this, calling her "Auntie Raan", or "Aunt Shala." As a result of her relationship to the Zorah family, Raan is forced to recuse herself during Tali's trial, merely serving as a moderator to the admirals, but tells Tali that she has her support, and hopes Tali will be exonerated. While no attention is drawn to it, they have the same Character Tic of wringing their hands when nervous, so Tali may have gotten it from Raan. In the third game, Tali considers Wrex to be this. Wrex seems to serve as the entire team's Honorary Uncle alongside Shepard's Team Dad. He even refers to himself as "Uncle Urdnot" a couple of times, although nobody finds this particularly impressive. |

The "character refers to self as 'uncle' to indicate a friendly relationship that nevertheless has elements of authority" variation appears in Monstrous Regiment, since Mal is wiser and (probably, being a vampire) older than the rest of The Squad: "Here's a happy little dream from your Uncle Maladict..."

He immediately tries calculating how they're related, correctly guessing it's "first cousin once removed", but Andy tells him not to worry about it and just call him "Uncle Andy." Although Andy initially has no love for the Gems, after being told they're Steven's mother's family, he refers to them with complete sincerity as his "aunts". | |

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade: Nino calls several characters "Uncle", usually in reference to "Uncle Jan", a NPC member of the Black Fang who was kind to her during her time there. This has mixed results - Merlinus agrees to take Jan's place for a bit, while Legault initially despairs at being called an uncle when he's still in his twenties, but eventually accepts it. Ironically, she doesn't talk about Jan at all to Canas, who is very heavily implied to be her real uncle. | |

In Post-Crisis comics, Lana Lang acts as an aunt to Supergirl, letting her move to her apartment and looking after her when nobody else did. Kara, for her part, not only refers to her as "Aunt Lana" several times but also uses the "Linda Lang" alias. Perry White, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet had died of cancer (from his cigar smoking) by the time of the 1969 story Superman & Batman: Generations, but Lois Lane mentions him as having held this role for her and Clark Kent's daughter Kara. |

In Faux Pas, a frequent bunny to fox usage — plus sometimes fox to chicken. A little bunny calls her "Aunt Cindy" when Cindy gives up trying to eat them. Randy is, of course, Uncle Randy. Later, a young bunny explains that Aunt Cindy isn't really her aunt, just her uncle's girlfriend. Dusk finds being Aunt Dusk a shock to the system. April is surprised at Auntie Myrtle, and Randy urges her to just go with it. Then she gets Aunt April herself. |

In the A Song of Ice and Fire series, Dagmer is this to Theon. (It is completely averted in Game of Thrones, where Dagmer is a younger, utterly treacherous psychopath.) It could be argued that Ser Joer "The Old Bear" Mormont is this to most of his younger men, especially Sam and Jon. |

The Anoa'i wrestling family have been intertwined with the Maivia family for the better part of a century, when Ami Anoa'i and Peter Maivia became blood brothers. Despite Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson not actually being blood-related to Peter Maivianote Dwayne's father Rocky married Lia Maivia's daughter from a previous marriage, who was raised by Peter as his own. – let alone Ami Anoa'i – he and the rest of the are, for all intents and purposes, treated as cousins by and of the larger Anoa'i clan. | |

In a later chapter, Snow Flower admits that the matchmaker really is her aunt. Later, when Snow Flower is dying, her last request to Lily is that she become this to her children. She agrees. | |

Rugrats: Cousins Tommy and Angelica are related through their fathers. In an early episode, Angelica complains about having to stay with Tommy's maternal grandparents. ("They're Tommy's grandma and grandpa, not mine!") Of course, she ends up having a great time and happily calls her aunt-by-marriage's father "Grandpa Boris" in all future episodes. Lou's kids and grandkids call his cousin "Aunt Miriam," although Angelica proudly declares she knows Miriam is actually her "great-aunt once removed" (close enough for a 3-year-old). |

In Ms. Marvel (2022), Kamala addresses all her mother's friends from the mosque as "Auntie". One of the mosque's cliques is a group of women that she's nicknamed "The Illumin-aunties". This is typical of Pakistani and Indian culture, where one is expected to address one's elders as "Auntie" or "Uncle" as a gesture of respect (which has hilariously led to the terms taking on a derogatory meaning of "stupid old person I don't actually respect" among the younger crowd). | |

In the The Santa Clause series, there probably isn't a more exact term for the relationship between Scott and Lucy, who is the daughter of Scott's ex-wife by her second husband. The Calvin/Miller family seems to have decided that this trope is the simplest solution. Lucy addresses her half-brother's father as "Uncle Scott", and they share an affectionate bond. The nature of Scott's place in the family is reinforced in the third film; in an alternate timeline, Scott never becomes Santa Claus, the status of his relationships with Charlie and the Millers goes from rocky to distant, and while Laura and Neil still have Lucy, Lucy addresses Scott as “Mr. Calvin� to his dismay. | |

Son of the Sannin: Ino's father Inoichi is said to be like an uncle to Shikamaru and Choji due to their three clans having been close allies for generations (and it can be presumed that this also applies to her mother and their parents as well). After Inoichi ends up being killed in the Uchiha coup, Shikamaru and Choji are both mentioned to be crying just as hard as Ino during the funeral. The narration directly uses the term when referring to Haku's relationship with Zabuza and Mei's eldest daughter, and he presumably has this role for her five younger siblings as well. It's implied that Fu is an honorary aunt to Naruto and Hinata's children as well as Kiba and Tamaki's daughter given how she gets upset when informed that Boruto is away on a mission while she's in the village for the Ninja Summit. They in turn appear to have this role for her and Shino's children. |

Their kids all treat Bindlepod's frog companion, who taught them how to swim, as an honorary uncle. In the final chapter of Goblins on the Prowl, when Fauna regains her memories of her original identity, she also remembers that she used to refer to the sorcerer Edrick, a family friend, as "Uncle Edrick". |

Although Esmerelda Weatherwax is often called "Granny Weatherwax", there's something more significant about Tiffany Aching being told she can refer to her by that title in A Hat Full of Sky (especially since one of the themes of The Wee Free Men was the loss of her actual Granny Aching).

At one point they realize they've forgotten what his actual relation to them is, so Haruka calls someone else in the family to ask; turns out Takeru is technically their cousin, but he's a good ten years older than any of them, and he takes his surrogate-uncle role seriously. At one point we see him grilling the unfortunate Fujioka about his interest in Kana. | |

Avengers: Infinite Wars; Events begin when over half the Avengers are displaced from Earth all over the Galaxy Far, Far Away, which leads to such twists as Wanda Maximoff becoming the guardian to Dathomir girls Meerin and Illyana after their mothers are killed, and Natasha Romanoff essentially adopts the infant Mara Jade. When Earth makes contact with the Galaxy Far, Far Away, Clint Barton is quick to "introduce" himself to Mara as her Uncle Clint, and it's suggested that he'd be happy for Merrin and Illyana to see him the same way. During the Spider-Verse arc, Peter Park’r- a version of Spider-Man born in the Galaxy Far, Far Away and trained as a Jedi from a young age- mentions that in his reality, Count Dooku never fell to the Dark Side, to the extent that Park’r considers Dooku an uncle figure from his time in the temple even before Obi-Wan Kenobi took Park’r as an apprentice. |

Dragon Age II has a few examples: Aveline, who is generally the Team Dad of Hawke's crew, sort of functions as an honorary aunt for Hawke and (during Act 1 at least) their surviving sibling. She's implied to be a few years older than Hawke, and actively works to ensure the family's safety while they're working to secure a source of income for themselves. She even goes so far as to sleep on their doorstep some nights. When Hawke's mother Leandra dies in Act 2, Aveline grieves like a member of the family, being the companion who has known Hawke the longest and having been very fond of Leandra herself. Hawke admits in Act 3 that they've come to see Bodahn Feddic as a member of their family and that, no matter what, Bodahn and his son Sandal always will have a place in their home. Alistair was raised by Arl Eamon (Bann Teagan's brother) despite not being related to him, which (depending on how Alistair appears in the game) may lead to... To clarify: Teagan and Eamon are the brothers of Alistair's late father Maric's late wife Rowan. Alistair was born a few years after Rowan died, the result of another relationship Maric had. Alistair is in no way related to his father's wife, let alone her younger brothers, but Teagan treats him like a nephew all the same. Teagan's actual nephew, Alistair's half-brother Cailan, has long since been killed in battle. |

Dragon Ball Z: Goten sometimes addresses Vegeta as "ojisan" (either "uncle" or "mister," depending on context) despite there being no blood between them. This is likely due to his being best friends with Trunks and the fact that Vegeta was probably the only prominent adult male figure in Goten's early life. This was not maintained in the American dub, however. Also, Gohan to Krillin who is one of his father's closest friends. He even calls him "uncle" at least once. In the original Japanese Gohan consistently refers to Piccolo as "Piccolo-san," (roughly, "Mr. Piccolo," which is Gohan's usual form of address for him in the English dub). However, Gohan once refers to him as his "big green uncle" in the English dub, and he is called "Uncle Strangehead" in the Malaysian dub. |

Kaiju Girl Caramelise: Koutarou Hibino, Rinko Akaishi's old colleague when they were traveling biologists, is like an uncle to Kuroe. He's one of the few people she feels comfortable interacting with, the only person besides her mother and Manatsu to be on a First-Name Basis with her, and he's the one who helped her become a Metalhead. He's also the only other person besides Rinko to know about Kuroe's emotion-triggered Involuntary Shapeshifting (though he has yet to figure out that said shapeshifting has gone so far as to turn her into a Kaiju). | |

In the Fantastic Four, Franklin and Valeria Richards, Reed and Sue's children, call Ben "Uncle Ben"; Ben is even Franklin's godfather (and Frank's middle name, Benjamin, was given in honor of Ben, Reed's best friend since college). Spider-Man has also become one of these over the years, thanks to being more and more ingrained in the family. The way he's taken over Johnny's spot has been compared to an uncle moving in to look after everyone following a death in the family. Also, their nemesis Doctor Doom is also the official godfather of Valeria and was even the one who named her due to helping Sue give birth to her. The FF has always been just as much a family as a team, so this makes sense. | |

In How I Met Your Mother, Future Ted regularly refers to the other characters as Aunt Robin, Uncle Barney, Uncle Marshall, and Aunt Lily when talking to his kids. This led to a lot of Wild Mass Guessing (more so in earlier seasons, before several possibilities got Jossed) as to whether any of them would, by the end of the series, actually end up related by some sort of Tangled Family Tree or Double In-Law Marriage situation. Especially notable since Ted doesn't refer to his actual sister as Aunt Heather, just as his sister. | |

In the Grim Tales series, this basically describes protagonist Anna Gray's relationship to many of her so-called relatives. The fact is that quite a large number of the family members she assists in her work, most of whom refer to her as "Aunt Anna" or "Aunt Gray," aren't related to her at all - they're the relatives of her twin sister's husband. She is nevertheless treated like she's family by all of them, so she amounts to this trope. The same series also has an unusual crossover example. It assigns this role to James Blackthorne, whom Anna's daughter Alice calls "Uncle James." James, however, isn't from the Grim Tales games — he's from Haunted Hotel, another series from Elephant Games. He and Anna make up two-thirds of the team in the Crisis Crossover series Detectives United. |

The Cat Who... Series: Gender-inverted — starting in book #5 (The Cat Who Played Brahms), Qwill refers to Fanny Klingenschoen as Aunt Fanny, as he has done since childhood; she's actually his late mother's best friend, and considers him her godson. This is why she leaves him her estate of roughly $4 billion. Qwill considers himself to be something like this to Liz Hart, whom he meets when he saves her life on Breakfast Island after she is bitten by a deadly snake. A later book notes that because of that connection, he takes a sort of "godfatherly interest" in the young woman's well-being and activities. When she dies in a car accident in book #28 (The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell), he is deeply saddened. |

In Friends, four of the other five main characters are honorary aunts and uncles to Ross's first child, Ben, born at the end of the first season. (The lone exception is Monica, who is Ross's sister and therefore Ben's actual aunt.) Presumably, the same principle holds up when Monica and Chandler become parents near the end of the series. There's one episode where Rachel is delighted to be "fun Aunt Rachel" to Ben, and Rachel herself often refers to Joey as "Uncle Joey" around Emma. Conversational Troping begins when a horrified Monica speculates that her and Chandler's kids will think of Janice as an aunt. In another episode, Phoebe learns Ben is in the same class as Sting's son and uses this knowledge in an attempt to score tickets to one of Sting's concerts. When she shows up at the boys' school, Ben exclaims, "Aunt Phoebe? What are you doing here?" When the gang learn that Rachel and Ross are expecting a baby together, Phoebe and Joey gleefully declare themselves aunt and uncle to the baby which Rachel agrees with. Monica reminds them that they're honorary and she's an aunt by blood, and says it so often it starts creeping everyone out. Chandler has just married Monica so he's a direct uncle and not honorary. |

In Fire and Hemlock, Tom Lynn, a completely unrelated adult friend is this to the protagonist. When she suggests she could call him "Uncle Tom", he points out that that would have Unfortunate Implications, and recommends that she reads the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin to understand why. He doesn't seem to have a problem with being a honorary uncle as such, though. The protagonist develops a crush on him, which he tries to gently discourage; he needs her friendship but has moral scruples about their relationship turning into a romantic one. | |
