Millhouse Parents 

When a romantically-linked couple could easily pass for brother and sister.

An individual who chooses to date someone who shares their physical characters is worthy of ridicule as they are presumably guilty of narcissism (at best) or incest (at worst).

Can work as well for homosexual couples who bear a familial resemblance, prompting assumptions that they are brother and brother, or sister and sister.

Origin: From the Simpsons, Bart's long-suffering sidekick Millhouse Van Houten has similar blue hair, thick eye brows, and large glasses as both his mother and father. Additionally, it is possible given Millhouse's poor judgement that his parents do in fact share the same genealogy.

From "The Simpsons: Season 22, episode 3 entitled: MoneyBart (2010)
Bart has provoked his noted-feminist sister Lisa with dismissive terms such as "Honey Pie" and "Tootsie Pop". Prompting Nelson to interject with the following:

Nelson Muntz: Hey, get a room, you two.
Lisa Simpson: We're brother and sister.
Milhouse Van Houten: So are my parents ... I think.
Concerned friend #1: Do you think Matt's girlfriend kind of looks the same as him? I mean, they're the same height, same hair color, they even laugh at the same jokes...

Concerned friend #2: Oh yeah! Total Millhouse Parents.

Asian Parents 

(Usually, but not always) Strict, nosey, and controlling. They make you go to summer school if you get a B+ in an honors math class, even if you had the best grade out of all the Asians who took that class, and replace your grade all because 'if you get 4.0, you get sit on stage when graduate!'. To Asian parents, summer is not a 'break' as it is to other children in America, but 'a time to catch up'. Summer for Asian kids include SAT/ACT/PSAT prep (whether its doing books or taking classes), summer school, piles of math books, etc. while others are hanging out with friends and making s'mores. Asian Parents control their kids' lives because they want them to get into a good college, so that 1) They can brag to their asian friends about what college you go to <---MAIN REASON 2) You can be a doctor and make lots of money and 3) They can brag about how much money you make as a doctor
Asian parents often put on a facade to others that they are nice, normal American parents. Then, when your friends leave (if they ever get the OK to come over), your parents start yelling at you, pressuring you to do math, and/or beating you for something you did that 'embarassed' them (i.e. having a messy room). They also severely disapprove of technology (computers, ipods, tvs). If you get an A- its CLEARLY your ipods fault, so its going to be taken away until you get above a 98. If you watch an hour of TV, they begin yelling at you to stop and give you a lecture about how TV is like crack.
Asian summer: 8am-1:30pm summer school, 1:30pm-3:00pm math, 3:00pm-6:00pm tennis, 6:00pm-10:30pm math, FML

Asian parents: "I signed you up for PSAT class!"
Me:"...fine..."
Asian parents:"Ooo since good deal I signed you up for ACT class too!"
Me:"...WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!! But according to these pretests Ill either get a 35 or a 36!!!"

Me:"....I got...a 92%..."
Asian mom:"WHAT?! I told you no ipod! NO MORE IPOD till you get 98!!"

Me: -watching friends-
Asian mom: YOU WATCH TV FOR SO LONG!!!! GO DO MATH!!!
Me: But mom I've only been watching for an hour!!!
Asian mom: TV like drug!!! Once start can neeveerrrr stop! Addicted then you grades go down!

They're Asian parents, whatever you do, they'll always find out
