I feel like Gumball could make an episode like this where they just fall into cliche after cliche, realizing they're trapped in cliches and deducting that the only way to break free is to do something original. They believe they did something original and broke the cycle they wrap up with a cliche ending, before it cuts to black they all realize they're still trapped

I vaguely recall instances where the love interest appreciates the gesture anyway, or already liked the MC and didn't need to be impressed.

Can't think of specific examples.

American Dad has one of my favorite variations of this, where the theme song starts and Stan looks at the newspaper for the gag, only for the "gag" headline to be about an alien (aka Roger).

The theme song immediately stops, Stan goes back inside to ask what the hell is going on, and the episode starts.

/v/, but I like how Danganronpa 2 handled this sort of character. Mikan's main thing in support convos ends up just being that she's terrified of the concept of non-existence. So it doesn't matter if she's the hugest doormat or a controlling asshole, either way someone's acknowledging she's there. It skips the connotations of "oh they deserve to be treated like shit" and makes her way more interesting.

Some girl from Katawa Shoujo, I think, has her entire story be about her being a doormat, and becoming her own person making her own decisions. You two have sex at some point, and she seems really uncomfortable about it, only to tear you a new asshole if you try to defend her and apologize the day after, reason being that it was her choice and the fact you're trying to take responsibility and blame away from her proves that you don't actually care about letting her make her own choices in life, you just want to protect her and treat her like a child who can't make her own decisions.
