Quirky Household/Playing With

• Basic Trope: A strange, but loving family
• Played Straight: The O'Taku family are a family of Otaku perpetually in Cosplay, but they lead an otherwise normal existence.
• Exaggerated: The O'Taku family have all kinds of Anime-related paraphernalia and a library full of Manga and always wear Cosplay, but they are among the most respected (and loving) families in Troperville.
• Justified: Every family has its quirks...
• Inverted: The family is so normal, it's boring.
• Subverted: The O'Taku are somewhat of a Dysfunctional Family
• Double Subverted: But a) no more so than any other family and b) they work out their problems.
• Deconstructed: Their quirks are not understood, which can lead to alienation...and further problems.
• Reconstructed: The neighbors get to know them and find that they are awesome people, and everyone's happy.
• Parodied: All the "normal" guests that visit them...and their reactions.
• Lampshaded: "They're kooky and they're spooky, mysterious and ooky..."
• Averted: The O'Taku are a perfectly normal family
• Enforced: We need a family that's interesting to watch, but not too dysfunctional.
• Invoked: Seamus and Ann O'Taku get married and have 2.4 children in Suburbia together, agreeing to raise their kids as Otaku.
• Defied: Seamus and Ann like anime and manga, but don't raise their kids on it, center their social life completely around it, live in perpetual cosplay, etc.
• Discussed: "So, this family of cosplayers moved in next door. They're nice, but who the hell runs around in costumes all day?"
• Conversed: "There goes the neighborhood..."
• Played For Laughs: Almost always is
• Played For Drama: One of the kids is going through an angsty-teen I Just Want to Be Normal phase.
