| Insignificant Anniversary | comment |
Anniversaries are a celebration held every year after a significant event. However, in this case, it's a bit... different. Maybe instead of a year after, it's just a week.note Although in that case it would not be an anniversary; annus means "year". Maybe instead of a significant event, it's something comparatively minor that no one would think to celebrate. In fiction, it's most commonly manifested by something like celebrating a week of a relationship, or something similar. There are several reasons for this. First of all, if it involves a romantic relationship, it shows at least the partner who initiates the celebration is very in love with their lover. Of course, if it's mutual, this can be used to show the couple is Sickeningly Sweethearts. On the other hand, past incidents that are significant to the character(s) may not appear to be significant to the viewer, and this trope helps establish its importance. Can overlap with Milestone Celebration if it's celebrating some aspect of the show itself, like the number of episodes. |

In Parks and Recreation, Leslie has many "X Days" with many people, celebrating various milestones. An issue comes up when she has "Waffle Day" with her husband and "Breakfast Day" with her best friend at about the same time and they fight over a waffle iron to get her. Eventually, they convince Leslie to just have a single week per person, as keeping track of several anniversaries per month (and getting presents for each one) was difficult for everyone but Leslie. | |

In Brooklyn Nine-Nine Boyle has a tendency to "go full Boyle" and scare off prospective lovers by getting too involved too quickly. For his 20-day anniversary with Vivian, he wanted to have a fancy dinner and 300 roses. Turns out she was just as crazy for him, and they wound up getting engaged. | |

Seinfeld. Jerry actually remembers the exact date of the last time he threw up: June 29, 1980. After stopping at a bakery to pick up a bobka for a dinner party, Jerry eats a large black-and-white cookie that doesn't agree with him, thus breaking his fourteen-year streak of not throwing up. | |

One episode of Boy Meets World Topanga and Cory end up having a brief fight over having too many anniversary dates and people assuming they were an older married couple rather than high schoolers. It turns out the reason Cory brought them to the fancy adult restaurant they were at was that it was their anniversary of...eating at that particular fancy adult restaurant. | |

The Fairly OddParents! had a variation in the episode "The Secret Origin Of Denzel Crocker." In the episode, Mr Crocker, already a Sadistic Teacher, is even meaner and nastier on March 15th, and Timmy finds out that it was because of a traumatic event that occurred on that date years before. When Timmy wishes to go back in time to the March 15th in question, he finds out that Crocker was a happy and well-adjusted boy who had Cosmo and Wanda as fairy godparents, and was on his way to the "Denzel Crocker Day" ceremony to celebrate his accomplishments and good deeds, performed with the help of Cosmo and Wanda. In the middle of the ceremony, Timmy accidentally reveals that Crocker had fairy godparents, which causes Jorgen to reassign Cosmo and Wanda, erase his and the towns peoples memories, and they then try to lynch Crocker, believing that he had done something to anger them. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Party of One", Pinkie Pie organizes a birthday party for her pet alligator Gummy. The very next day, she invites all her friends to Gummy's after-birthday party — but they all make up excuses for why they can't attend. The twist is that Pinkie is so caught up in celebrating Gummy's "after-birthday", she's forgotten that it's her own birthday. Her friends declined attending the party for Gummy because they're already organizing a surprise party for Pinkie. In "Baby Cakes", Pinkie Pie celebrates the Cake twins' "month-iversary" (the day they turn one month old). In "It Isn't the Mane Thing About You", Pinkie Pie celebrates the Cake twins' "sneeze-iversary" (anniversary of their first sneeze). |
