Love Triangles are stressful and often heartbreaking. Add five or ten more people to the mix, and instead they become comedy (but not always): Characters A, B, C, and D all love character E, who might love any of them, but can't commit for reasons of honor or basic wishywashiness. There's also character F, who might love E, and whom he might love back, but they get on each other's nerves so it's hard to tell. Meanwhile, G is sweet on C while H and I both love A. Except on alternate Tuesdays, when H's third cousin from Osaka expresses her intent to marry Character F's dog, who has an odd thing for D… You get the idea.

So, what shows have you watched that were notoriously bad with this?

I feel like that's one show where it makes sense though. Kids their age don't know wtf they want, much less what they need. Friend groups tend to have a lot of this in their late teens/early 20s in my experience.
