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?

Had to scroll through the trope page to see if I remembered any, but Cardcaptor Sakura is absolutely fantastic and has a lot of this early on. Helps that its pretty darn gay too
