Two characters are assumed by the people around them to be related. Maybe it was part of a con to explain why their "sibling" is living with them. Maybe they look similar and people jumped to conclusions. Maybe there was some legal weirdness that means it's technically true. Then they start kissing, and people panic. This can be presented to the audience in multiple ways. Sometimes the audience knows from the start that the characters aren't related, even if no one else does. Sometimes the audience believes they're related, and are in the same boat as everyone else. There's also the possibility of actual relatives being mistaken for being in an incestuous relationship when no such relationship exists. Sometimes the characters themselves believe that they are related after an initial attraction, a subverted case of Surprise Incest. The inversion of Relative Error. Compare and contrast Surprise Incest (when the characters in the relationship find out they are related). Might involve a Relatively Flimsy Excuse. The conjunction of Mistaken for Related and Mistaken for Romance. |

The Vicar of Dibley: In "Love and Marriage", Geraldine's enjoyment of Alice's hen party is disrupted when Alice lets slip that her Disappeared Dad was "David Horton"—the same name as her fiancé Hugo's father. She's much relieved to learn from Owen the next day that Alice meant an entirely different member of the Horton family; Alice and Hugo are second cousins, not half-siblings, and everybody else in the village has known that for years. | |

HFIL makes a gag of this twice, both times involving Cell: When he first wakes up in HFIL and meets the pair of Goz and Mez, whose appearances and similarities make their relationship ambiguous, Cell says that they're "charming brothers, or lovers, or both, I don't judge..." When Freeza's brother Cooler visits HFIL and Cell is wondering why Freeza is so antagonistic toward him, he guesses that Cooler was his ex-lover. Freeza is very quick and loud to correct him that he's his brother. Cell however is still under the impression that Cooler is Freeza's ex since he didn't correct him about that. |

Just Shoot Me!: In "Where's Poppa?", Jack suspects Maya's new boyfriend is his own son (having had a one-night stand with the young man's mother about the time he was conceived) and thus Maya's half-brother. Nina stops anything physical from happening, but the mother reveals that he isn't Jack's. He's so upset about the insensitive way Maya explains the situation (his actual father having just died and all) that he breaks up with her anyway. | |

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: The opening of the film shows that Peter Quill has become a drunken wreck while still mourning the loss of his girlfriend Gamora. Rocket suggests that Mantis, Peter's half-sister, should just "touch him and make him feel good". While Rocket was referring to Mantis using her empathic powers to make Peter feel better, Groot seems to think he was suggesting Mantis actually have sex with Peter, which grosses everyone else out. | |

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter: Yumi introduces herself to Akane as Painter's sister... and then mentions how they took a bath together recently. It might be for the best that all that got buried under Yumi mistaking Akane for Painter's concubine. At the end of the story, when Yumi is saved, Painter has to explain that the girl he's suddenly kissing a lot is not his sister, but his "girlfriend from another city." Apparently, his friends still didn't believe it until his parents showed up and confirmed they didn't have a daughter. | |

The Cartoon History of the Universe: Then-contemporary gossip suggested that the ancient Athenian politician Kimon wouldn't let his sister Elpinike marry because he had an incestuous desire for (and possibly affair with) her. In reality, it was because their father Miltiades died owing the Athenian government a large fine, leaving his family rich in land but little else; there was no dowry for Elpinike, and since a dowry was a necessity for marriage in Ancient Athens, she couldn't get married until a wealthy man agreed to pay off the debt in exchange for her hand in marriage. This is punctuated by a two-panel sequence of Kimon telling Elpinike "I need you, sister... I need you to get me money." | |

We're the Millers: At one point in the journey of drug dealer David and his three associates Rose, Casey and Kenny, who are pretending to be his family, Kenny develops a crush on their new neighbours' daughter Melissa, but awkwardly admits that he's never actually kissed a girl or had sex before. Casey, taking pity on him, offers to give her "brother" a Practice Kiss, whereupon David and Rose walk in on them doing it. Since David knows neither of them is related, he's okay with it, and Rose then offers to teach Kenny a special trick he can do with his tongue to liven up the kissing... and then Melissa walks in on them, and since she doesn't know none of these people are actually family, she thinks Kenny is kissing his actual sister and mother, and it doesn't end well. | |

Veep: While Selina is juggling secret negotiations with the Chinese and a family Christmas party, Minna Häkkinen and the Chinese delegation spot Marjorie — a former Secret Service agent hired for her resemblance to Selina — kissing Selina's daughter Catherine. Unsurprisingly, they believe they saw Selina making out with her own daughter. Minna sternly lectures Selina about it later, but Selina thinks she's talking about an unrelated event with Catherine and just laughs it off as a mild faux pas. Neither Minna nor the Chinese President is pleased. | |

As it turns out, she asked for it just to pull a prank: When Naruto is kissing Hinata, Hanabi takes this opportunity to yell "EWWW! MY SISTER IS SMOOCHING MY BROTHER!" Several bystanders hear what she just yelled and fall for it. This results in Hinata fainting once again, Naruto being angry at Hanabi, and the latter running away while laughing. | |

White Sheep (RWBY): Qrow mistakenly believes that Jaune is his sister Raven's son, and therefore goes to a lot of effort to keep him from dating Raven's daughter Yang (who she abandoned as a baby). Making this also a case of subverted Surprise Incest, he's wrong. Qrow does this to himself when he has sex with a girl who he then discovers is Jaune's sister, while he still believes Jaune is Raven's son. There is a lot of screaming. |

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones: The Brother–Sister Team Ephraim and Eirika are frequently interpreted as having romantic feelings for each other by fans, because of a combination of it not really being all that out there for a series that's been known for all sorts of incest for ages, and some subtext that no one can agree is intentional. What makes this a definite example is that this belief was referenced by Fire Emblem Heroes, with Ephraim referring to it as a disgusting lie. The word "disgusting" then became a meme.. | |

Picket Fences: In one episode, Kimberly Brock sees her best friend kissing her father. She reports it to her own father, the town sheriff. In court, it's revealed by Douglas Waumbaugh that the young woman is not the man's daughter. The man is a polygamist, and the girl is his second wife, posing as his daughter publicly, with her "mother" being the first wife. Judge Bone points out that the laws against polygamy may one day be challenged on religious grounds to the Supreme Court, and he doesn't want Waumbaugh to be the one who brings the case, so urges the town to get the man to dissolve one of his marriages, preferably his 18-year-old bride, the one that started the whole mess in the first place. | |

Duncan had previously broken up with Veronica because he mistakenly thought that Veronica was his sister, as his father and her mother had had a long-term affair. Ultimately, Veronica learned that they are not biologically related. | |

Family Guy: In "Screams of Silence: The Story of Brenda Q", Brenda is overjoyed that her brother Quagmire has awakened after he's nearly died from Erotic Asphyxiation, and she hugs him in relief. Her boyfriend Jeff becomes pissed and yells at Quagmire to get away from his lady. Considering this is Quagmire, an acknowledged rapist who once implied he'd date his infant daughter once she turned 18, this might be the only instance where Jeff had a point. | |

Friends: In an early episode, Joey lies to Monica that his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend are siblings to trick her into a double date with them in an effort to win back said ex. Monica soon becomes repulsed when the "siblings" start acting inappropriately, leading her to believe Joey set her up with a sibling couple. She eventually realizes he lied to her, however. Later when Phoebe announces that her half-brother and his wife asked her to carry their child, Joey, who knows nothing about surrogacy, initially assumed Phoebe was going to have sex with her brother. She's rightly disgusted. |

The Hound of the Baskervilles: The Stapletons are deliberately posing as brother and sister when they are actually husband and wife, one of Stapleton's farsighted ideas as it permitted him to seduce Laura Lyons as part of his plot to murder Sir Charles, and to get an infatuated Sir Henry to more easily accept his invitation to dine with them.
